It’s never easy, Claire, but it does help (immensely) to enjoy the memories.
Rule No1 in my book is never feel guilty about smiling… or laughing… about our lost loved ones. 
Yes, that in itself may sometimes lead to tears and literal heartache, but occasionally to more smiles, and more laughter. It feels bad. It feels wrong. But in reality, it’s healthy. It’s normal. 
The next few days in particular will no doubt feel like a roller coaster… physically and mentally.  
None of us can stop the ride, but we can hold your hand and help you through it. 
 
Stay strong for your parents, for Daniel, and most importantly for yourself. 
We’re all here for you. 
You’re our sister now.

Boro fan here, donning hard hat and coming in peace. 
Been an occasional stalker on this board (ever since all the unpleasantness!) but felt compelled to register today after seeing this sad news.
B4 was a poster I saw popping up on almost every thread that appeared on here and his passion for his football team was so clear with every word he typed. Fans with this level of devotion are few and far between and should be treasured by clubs and other fans alike. I'm sure he will leave a huge hole behind for everyone who knew him. Sending condolences to all friends, family and fellow DCFC supporters for your loss. 
All the best, Steve (not that one!) 

It would be an absolute honour, Claire.  🤍🐏👍

It’s a dull cliche but focus should be on the next game. Do not distract the players from tomorrow’s job, keep it simple but effective. Celebrate wins and reinforce strengths. Projecting forward and obsessing with fixtures and scoreboards is usually a mugs game. Focus on current form and what we can do better.  What we need this year is to start beating the sides in the top 6, setting out to win every game especially away from home, getting an early goal, being the side on top in the last 10 mins, not settling for a draw because legs are tired.
 
There for the taking if we stay fit, keep our s*** together. 

Unknown South American with a questionable passport……😆

That’s good going. The hubby isn’t allowed to touch some decorations - far too clumsy. This is my favourite decoration 🤣

I’ve asked my parents to confirm the time the cortège will be at Pride Park. Will let you all know when I have the answer. As the funeral is at 11:00am, I would guess 10:20ish. The cars will stop outside the main entrance for a few minutes before setting off. 
 
Thank you again to everyone for your kindness and love for Daniel. It’s been lovely getting to know people and even meeting a few in person. All the messages and laughs have really kept me going during this awful time ❤️🐏❤️

Another Saturday game gone? I’m sick of this. Football is nothing without the fans they said during COVID. What a pile of w*** that was. No one gives a s*** about us who actually go. 
Sky TV is f****** s***, Sky TV is f****** s*** 
I will let the filters do their job. 

There's several suitable managers on the market right now. Nathan Jones would be my choice.

The wife and I will drive over from Crewe the night before and stay in the travelodge,easy walk over to join in the send off the lad deserves

Wear whatever you want @Mucker1884 As long as it’s not that pink shirt 😆

Give me an 'N'

Problem: <add your rant, point of view here>
Solution:bin it
Simple as that. Football was fine for many years, a few mistakes along the way and all well remembered, Maradona hand of god, Henry light touch, Lampard ghost goal.  We watch howlers by players in L1 week in week out, some defying the laws of physics, it’s football and refereeing is an integral part of it, it should have been kept that way. It wasn’t really broken so no need to fix it.
 

Good evening ladies and gents. It’s going to be another chilly night on 5th December for Derby v Fleetwood. Here’s hoping for a decent game and a few goals to warm our cockles 😆

Let’s get this going for the Fleetwood and Orient games .To the tune of Dolly Partons Jolene
John Jules , John Jules , John Jules , John Juuullleeess, scoring goals for Derby every weeeeek 
John Jules , John Jules , John Jules , John Juuullleeess, now he hates the Forest and the Leeeeds….
Add verses as you wish
 

Great career, very good player for us. We may well have stayed up if he'd stayed beyond Jan.

For anyone that missed it.
 

Love NML, the one player guaranteed to get you out of your seat , has been unstoppable on occasions this season, a fit and firing NML could fire us to promotion

He started last season on fire and faded badly. This season he's getting better as the games go on.
The lack of a goal weighed heavily on him, but he's kept plugging away and now getting his reward.

This will be only the second away match I have been to! Look forward to meeting everyone who will be going. I’ve met a few already. What do we reckon the score will be? Who’s taking a flange 🤣

Well there's more chance of him making the first team for Chelsea and Man U, than there is here so good luck to the lad.

Was gutted we missed that great chance in the 37th minute!  I was literally praying to the heavens at that point... and I haven't even spoken to God since about 1968, when the infant school headmistress told me to!  
So pleased we ground it out in the end, and got those 3 points for B4.  🐏
A great effort all round by us clappers, I thought.  Went really well... although as soon as I sat back down, I had to explain to the querying guy behind what it was all about.  I just find it weird that there are folk in the stadium that don't come on here!   🤣
I didn't cry obviously, being such a tough guy, but yeah, there was very much a lump in my throat... and a hint of a smile as I looked up.
I hope he was reet chuffed!

I'm tempted to say I hope I have that many applauding when I go, but knowing my luck, that will be as soon as they get the news, and a bit scattered, not the planned concerted effort of respect we saw today! 🤣
I was secretly hoping for a minute's worth of "#BeMoreB4" flickering around the electro-hoardings, but then forgot to look, as I was too concentrated on looking up'ards!  Not seen anyone comment, so I assume this didn't happen?  Shame, but fair enough, I guess!
Great to hear B4 got a mention on the commos though.  I too would absolutely love to hear a re-run, if there's such a thing out there? 
And of course, as well as Daniel himself, I truly hope the family... and particularly our new mate @B4’s Sister... were touched and proud of the response... as it was no less than he deserved. 👏
He was a top guy then, he's a top guy today, and he'll remain a top guy for eternity.
Sleep well buddy.
