Zag zig

AJ looked overweight and quite sloppy against Takam. I think he's conditioned himself well for this fight, as he knows he's in there with a well-respected opponent who looks like he has some boxing nous about him.
I don't think Parker will be able to KO him. He didn't really look like knocking out Hughie Fury, who by all means looks like a big soft teddy bear incapable of causing any real damage with his punches.
Parker knew this and just went aggressive on him, knowing he can take Fury's best shots. But he didn't really set himself up for any punishing shots. 
I'll go with Alpha's prediction. Parker will try and outbox him, come up short quite comfortably but manage to make it to the final bell. Wide AJ points decision, like 119-109, 118-110 or something like that.
 
 

So this is it boys and girls. This is it until June. 
It's been a brilliant last few months with the Rams absolutely ****housing the league. The away days have been fantastic and I'll miss making the drunken match reports.
However, my future career has to come first. Hopefully by getting banned on here, I can fully knuckle down and focus on my revision, as I have very big plans for the future. Have to go out and smash it now.
Thank you @coneheadjohn for being my forum father and for all the brilliant support you've given me, all the best for you and Joel in the future. Thank you @angieram for being my forum mother and the most professional away day poster on the forum. Thank you @Parsnip, @reveldevil, @Boycie and many more for making this place funny as ****. Thank you @Steve How Hard? for liking all of my posts.
All that's left now is to say that @David is a bald **** who can **** off for setting up this fantastic forum. I think that deserves a ban taking effect from 10pm tonight until 20 June, don't you?
Mark my words, when I'm back we'll be a Premier League club. Hopefully I'll be with you on that journey home and away.
Up the ******* Rams.

Revise. Please, please revise.
You will not regret my advice. Although my advice is on the assumption you're going to uni? If that's wrong then forget this advice.
For university holds many things. Fire engine call-outs, illegal substances, take-aways, beer, football and the odd lecture and arrest.
The freedom when you've been unshackled from your cruel, cruel parents will feel like we've just beaten the likes of Watford and Bournemouth in the Premier League and have risen up the table to 16th and just a minus 16 goal difference.
You'll find people there who support teams like Coventry and Portsmouth. You can reel off all our dissapointments and see who really has suffered the worst season.
And then there's the women. Treat them with respect . Remember, they don't care about how many games you've been to, or how many times you've been away this year. They're not interested in seeing the Derby/Sheffield Wednesday bounce on Youtube, or that Wanchope goal at Old Trafford with Graham Richard's voice playing over the top.
It is the best place in the world. Freedom, lack of responsibilities, optional part-time employment only, free money to spend on dodgy haircuts and fashionable clothes that just don't suit you. You might even make some friends .
Revise. It'll be worth it. Get on the course you want to at the uni you want to.
 

This!

Looking forward to my Sunday again

Hope that everyone who is alone today or suffering that little bit more than usual due to the time of year is managing to get through OK.
I only joined up on here after reading for many years and convinced myself that it was because I wanted to contribute a bit more and had a lot of time on my hands. Whilst that is true if I’m honest it’s been the stories, support and camaraderie in this thread in particular that urged me to join up.
Struggling a fair bit myself at the moment but some of what I have read has given me some strength - I won’t go into too much detail but knowing your feelings are not just yours and that depression is very much a real thing does actually help.
Merry Christmas fellow Rams! 3 points tomorrow will certainly help!

In Vienna for Christmas 

BEST THREAD EVER ON THE INTERNET. Thanks @Inverurie Ram for finding all these.

Up the Aberdeenshire Rams flag at Preston North End.

Up the 100 pages of Derby County Flags.

Central Park.
Was last week but I wanna show off.

Sat drinking a nice cold beer with my feet in the pool... wishing I was in frosty Derby. 

Luton? 

I'm jealous! 
1500 to watch Kovalev. He needs a new promoter!! 

Alicante airport, waiting for my flight to East Midlands. If you see someone in the South Stand tomorrow wearing a blue and white Derby scarf and a stupid smile, say hello to richinderby 

Love it. Bobby Charlton looks well peeved but Dave is just giving it the big 'git tae fuc yer doss mancs. We're the main team now ken'.

think everyone incl bbc and rams tv needs to be a bit more positive tbh - we won the game, players performed when called upon.

GEMMA Collins suffered a shock when she fell into a massive hole on stage at the Radio 1 Teen Awards.
Well she's not going to fall in a small hole, is she?

This cheered me up today - Meeting E-Street Band stalwart Steve van Zandt on the street outside work.

He was actually very good at Coventry. I remember being pleased when we signed him. He was 33 when he joined us, probably should have finished at 32!

Rightish period, but you’re overshooting his ability 1000%! Take a closer look at my avatar. When things are going badly I look at that and realise just how good we are at the moment!

People say that the winding up petition was our darkest day !
i beg to differ
It was this abomination wearing a Derby shirt !!
 

In under10 years we went from champions, thrashing Real Madrid, wining 13-0 in Europe, winning the charity shield and other cup semis to relegation to Div3. Staggering. I took the wise decision to wait until we'd truly blown ourselves out and waited until 84 til going every week. We could only muster 4 v Real and I saw us plant 7 v Lincoln. Oh yeah, who's winning now. 
Still, without the devastatingly good and the stupidly bad, there's no context eh? Who needs constant highs....? Not us, that's for sure 

As Loweman said 83 wasn't bad for the cup and Fulham games, from somewhere in my teenage memory
All that became an even more distant memory though, gawd knows what the old uns that had witnessed European nights thought in 83/4  Pretty dire football, rival fans school mates taking the p***.
Then came King Arthur!

What a day that was!
In case some of you had not heard, the gumps had fluked a cup win or summat and thought they were really good. Poor lickle Derby were a league below them and were going to be thrashed......
