Biley66 reacted to curb in The Administration Thread
I’ve no idea what the current situation has got to do with Alan Biley though.

If I was in the middle of sensitive negotiations with bidders, I wouldn’t be speaking to the EFL either, because Nixon would be reporting the conversation ten minutes later.

Biley66 reacted to Rammy03 in What defines Derby County?
From Clough's autobiography:
Derby County should have been one of the biggest and most successful football clubs, not only in Britain but in Europe. They should have achieved the levels of triumph that Liverpool enjoyed for more than a quarter of a century. Oh yes, Derby should have been as big as Liverpool – possibly even bigger. And there is only one man to blame for the fact that they didn't reach such status: Brian Clough. To be strictly accurate, there are two culprits: me and Peter Taylor. When we walked out of the Baseball Ground in October 1973 it was the worst move of our lives. We were stupid, we were headstrong, we were stubborn and full of our own importance, but we were terribly, terribly wrong.
The day we resigned together was the day we turned our backs on the chance, if not the absolute guarantee, of turning a small-town club into a major power in European football. I honestly still believe that had Taylor and I not quit, we would have led Derby to the kind of unprecedented glory that set apart Liverpool from the rest from the 1960s onwards.

I dont recall a time as a Derby fan in my lifetime where the crowd has been so unified and in touch with the players.
This group is a cobbled together hodge podge of old men (in footballing terms), kids and leftovers from a failed regime. Despite that I absolutely love them. If someone had told me six months ago that this season with administration and a 21 point deduction would be one of my favourite ever I'd have laughed in your face.
I love this squad and management. Even if we go down I'll have a special place in my DCFC heart for this group. They care, they get it. I just hope we get the ending we want. If not, we faught to the end.

Great to see Parasite 1 lose and drop out of the top 6 and Parasite 2 draw after leading 3-1 and 5-3 and just clinging on to a play off place well off autos now..
Karma..

It's the EFLs mission to relegate us, By hook or by crook they'll do their best to try and get their wish

Biley66 reacted to LeedsCityRam in Hull city (H) on Tuesday 8th February - matchday thread
Well that was a cracking way to spend a Tuesday night - even if I will be talking like Sean Dyche for most of today
I did fear the worse when Hull started brightly but that fantastic save from Allsop early on gave us the platform to start showing our quality & from that point, Hull had no answer. A midfield duo of Bielik & Bird is very good for this division & between them & Knight, they started dominating the centre of the park. Unquestionably the major difference was Festy although he worked fantastically in tandem with Byrne - I'm surprised Hull didn't start flooding their left side with more bodies to help their full back who was getting skinned alive but then we'd have just destroyed them down the left or through the centre.
The most complete performance I've seen all season & on that evidence, there's no reason why we can't pick up plenty of wins to make the end of season very interesting indeed. No weak links at all throughout the team & particular shout outs to Buchanan, who was excellent as a makeshift CB, Forsyth who aside from scoring a fantastic goal was very good throughout & Plange who did a lot of selfless work holding the ball up & bringing others into play. MOM obviously Festy though - unbelievable display & has added end product to show what an fantastic player he can be at this level.
Crowd were excellent as usual - I was East Stand near the away fans & fantastic atmosphere with being close to the Hull fans. Fair play also to the Hull lot - not many of them but they were loud, backed their team even when 0-3 down & didn't sing 'that' song.
Onto the Parmo Parasites Saturday - please let there be some footballing justice meted out. COYR ??

Biley66 reacted to Derbados in Seating advice - sons first game experience
He absolutely loved it! Watching his face light up when he climbed the steps for the first time will stay with me for the rest of my life.
We stayed until the very end and he’s already asking when we can go again!

Biley66 reacted to Edinburgh ram in Birmingham City (H) Matchday Thread
Birmingham fans are a vile bunch. Absolutely grim bunch of people. I actually thought it was going to be a collective “duck the efl” and the dodgy owners of both clubs but no. Should have guessed that they’d be chanting about Derby dying. They got what they deserved in the end and I couldn’t be happier about it.

Biley66 reacted to i-Ram in The Administration Thread
Yeah, no doubt you would have overcome the substantial barriers by now. Finding someone willing to pay £30/£50m for a football club with £80m of known debt, hamstrung by malicious EFL self-interest and out of date insolvency rules, with two letigious knobs from the footballing world claiming they are also owed £51m, and the former owner still wanting his bit of the wedge for the stadium he still owns. Oh and the club is still losing c£750k each month, and likely to be playing in the second tier of English football next season. Please outline what action you would have taken in this situation, and if I agree you have a better solution I will change my user name to MackworthRamIsGodIsGod.
