scout's dad

Hopefully he doesn’t get snapped up by Liverpool 

Saturday can’t come soon enough. I am driving my wife crazy…
Me: I have something to tell you.
Wife: What is it?
Me: It’s important. It’s big. It’s life changing.
Wife: Tell me.
Me: Promise me you won’t be angry or upset.
Wife: OK. Tell me.
Me: Are you sure?
Wife: You’ve lost your job?
Me: No.
Wife: You want a divorce?
Me: No.
Wife: You’ve been having an affair?
Me: No.
Wife: Well, what is it?
Me: RAMS ARE GOING UP, OLE OLE! 🎵
😂
 

Its neither good news or bad news anyway. Its irrelevant news. We will win Saturday

Don’t worry about Posh/Trotters result.
We beat Carlisle at theirs last September. Last time I checked we are 59 points ahead.

Come on Toffees make it a perfect weekend 

I really don't think we will even come close to relying on this match but really neither side will want to lose this game. I can see the second half of this match to be a pre-season game with key players of both sides being subbed off to rest legs and it just petering out to a 1-1 and tough handshakes at the end saying to each other 'see you at Wembley'.

come on we only need to draw at home in front 30,000 plus against the poorest side in the division who are already relegated.
Forget P'boro and Bolton .....

Can you imagine what that season would have been like if we'd had social media/this forum?!
'Smith out' after four matches with only two points.
'John Harkes is stealing a living.'
'Why is he playing 3-4-1-2? That's never been done before, so must be bad'
All those draws in Jan and Feb would have created an intense debate whether it was good to keep the unbeaten run going or two points dropped.  
The feeling on the way home from Tranmere was so strange - we'd been thrashed but I'd seen a football god playing in the second tier and for little old Derby.
Anyway that's enough reminiscing. Let's create some more memories next week. COYR

Happy Birthday @Ellafella 🍻 I have 5 years on you and grew up thinking we would be the Champions of England virtually every other year. I’ve seen the good times and bad since my first game in 1970 but still celebrate every win whether it’s 4-1 v Real Madrid or a 0-1 at Cambridge in League one. COYRS 🐏🐏🐏

As I woke up tired and hungover this morning, I had a thought. While it's always great hearing stories about the glory days of the 70s, the iconic 80s and the fun 90s, there's a whole generation of Derby fans who have only ever known disappointment. I myself had my first season ticket in the 2006/07 Billy Davies season, but I was too young to properly appreciate it.
Since then, it's been a mix of hope, heartbreak and 'nearly' moments. Our generation of supporters have witnessed other clubs' fans celebrating siuccess (sometimes at our expense), but we find it difficult to fathom what it would actually feel like for Derby to ever get over the line.
Yesterday, as I walked back back to the bus with my arm round my mate's shoulder, belting Derby songs at the top of our voices, I had the first taste of what it might feel like to experience success as a Derby fan. This morning, I started making preparations for post-game jaegerbombs and cigars next weekend. And thinking about how I'll be raising a glass to the lad that we all miss. 
We're not over the line yet. But I'm well into dreaming territory. And for us fans who aren't old enough to know glory, it's going to be oh so sweet.
Up the Rams.

Come on Toffees make it a perfect weekend

Once we win next Saturday I can then start worrying about next season, it will be good to have something new to worry about😂😂😂🐏🐏

I’m so sorry to hear about your father’s condition. It’s good to know that he is making progress.

What really ducks me off is the hypocrisy of the PL and how weak the FA are. Too many games blah blah blah. What about the pre season games in the US, Asia, Oz, the endless and meaningless rounds of European matches, sorry I meant mini leagues, to makes sure the big clubs don’t get knocked out early. The problem of the FA cup is that it does not pay enough compared to the rest and those greedy barstewards prefer playing friendlies vs Al Kerching from the Saudi league than lower league clubs. Rant over.
Not quite, ducking hate Sky as well
i said it before and will say it again, I’d rather see the Rams winning the FA cup than seeing my country win the World Cup (again)

Can’t blame them as it’s becoming more likely to win there than other places 🤣

I had Cortisone injections in both knees yesterday so should be available if called upon to start the bounce.🙂

Hope you have a great weekend bluebry, enjoying the Derby promotion party !

I don`t think I`d mind any team going up, by beating us, if it didn`t affect our own league ambitions.

Except Leeds, of course. I`ll forever enjoy seeing them fail.

Hi Duracell, we have a pair of ideal seats for you, we picked the seats because we're close to friends on the opposite side of the aisle.
We're stair 41, row kk, seats 398,399 immediately next to the aisle in the lower east in line with the edge of the centre circle on the south stand side of the half way line. Row kk is about 4 rows down from the entry stairs and the seats are on the right as you walk down to them.
We could meet you at the bottom of stair 41 in the concourse or you can just let me know your seat numbers.
