Devastating news.

This is from Palace away in the FA Cup just before Covid. I think it sums the great man up.

Just come on to catch up on the afternoon's "Great day at the office", and was immediately hit with this thunderbolt!
Utterly gutted!  😢
Yes, he's wound me up in the past, on occasion.  Sometimes I've had a nibble at him.  Sometimes I've bit my tongue and said nowt.
But oh so much more than that, his total and utter positivity was never disregarded, and his loyalty to, and passion for, DCFC was never... ever... doubted.
I'm not ashamed to say, He's been... and will remain for eternity... more of a Ram than I'll ever be.  🐏
 
Such devastating news does indeed put everything into perspective. 
Today's game comes a distant second behind this... even to the point that I'm really not in the mood any more, for a catch up on the matchday thread... but do you know what... today was precisely the sort of performance and result that would have delighted him... and just what he would normally have predicted with his blind, unwavering faith.  Despite my mood, I'm gonna read the lot... and read every single word in his memory... with a raised glass in hand! 🍻
I hope you were watching from above, B4, (Of course you were... silly me!) and I hope it put a massive grin on your face... and a spring in your step, now you are finally free at last, from your physical pains.
Feel free to bellow through the clouds "I told you so"!   😁
I'm sure many of us will mark your gut-wrenching passing in any number of ways in the coming matches... be that privately and/or publicly, and it is no less than you deserve.
I won't hesitate to twirl my scraver in your honour at future games, and my DCFC flange will forever be at half mast.  
Sleep well, dear Buddy.  Up The Rams.  See you at the promotion party.

A stranger we had yet to meet.
Our paths had never crossed.
And yet, it seems, we knew him well,
A dear friend we have lost.
A heart of gold, a Kindly soul,
A friendly word to each.
A clumsy gaff may oft appear,
But ne’er offence be reached.
A call to arms, a plea for fight,
A positive embrace.
Defiant stance, a pumping fist,
A smile on his face.
Hatred of pink, and all things red,
More strangers for him to meet.
“A sea of black and white” he’d call,
“Let’s all stand at our seat”!
A disregard for marriage,
for relationships of two,
“Never, ever” he would wail,
“That would never do”!
Yet he loved all, and we loved him.
His quirks always forgiven,
His stubbornness frustrated,
But missed, now he’s in Heaven.
The truest Ram, amongst us all,
Now gone for evermore.
For Daniel, for DCFC
Let’s all be more B4

I have some very sad news this evening.  Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38.
As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful  and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away.
He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. 
Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. 
Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game.
David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.
 

Not wanting to go back and forwards so easier to react then post. But since you asked the question I will be courteous to answer.
Not personal to you but I am fed up of the OTT posts of how 'bad' we are.  We had 32 attempts Sunday and dominated the game so personally i was happy with what I seen bar the finishing/final pass.
Against Northampton I enjoyed how we played too (obviously with a scoreline to show for it).
I personally prefer this then watching us under the likes of Cocu when passing sideways, backwards and frequently not scoring in games.
By all means feel free to give me a negative reaction back if you disagree with my rationale. 

The only players benefiting from this will be Wolves U21's - unless of course Warne does include at least half of the U21's/U18's in his squad.
A competition without Premier League first teams but designed to strengthen Premier League first teams. 
I'm surprised we've sold 3000 tickets tbh.

But arguably playing the worst standard of football of a Derby team ever…
I wouldn’t mind the league position if there was a positive direction that the team looked like it was going in, but it doesn’t look like there is a grand plan or philosophy under Warne? 

I think most fans whose team was 2-0 down at 89 minutes and got a draw would feel like it was a wi  - it certainly brightened my mood!

He played well last night. Still a quality footballer who is suited to a more passing game so I agree he would thrive more elsewhere.

I almost talked my way out of a speeding ticket today by telling a female cop she was very attractive and intelligent, everything a man could ever want in a woman but things went sour when I said "and that's not just the booze talking either".

We weren't playing like that when warne took over Roy,all we did under rosenior was play side to side,endless pointless passing football,this was nothing like that.
Last night's performance was a vast improvement to that style.
Swift and accurate passing,the ball going through the middle as well as the wings and 4 lovely,technical finishes.
You would have enjoyed it if you had been there,I did and I've been a critic of our gameplay not being slick or enjoyable enough.
Credit to warnes management team where it's due,the changes last night were effective and there was a lot of attractive football on display.
Let's hope it continues.
