    There are many., lovely, melodic catchy songs from them. Exit Stonehenge's lyrics would be simple to learn for most:
    Jesus I can't feel my penis
    Exit Stonehenge
    Exit Stonehenge
    Jesus I can't touch my penis
    Jesus I can't see my feet
    Jesus I don't like my penis
    Exit Stonehenge
    Exit Stonehenge

    Or "fell on black days" or "outshined" or "blow up the outside world"

    We could adopt this, the lyrics reflect how we are treated by the EFL right now, and Jesus Christ pose could become the Derby County pose?

    CKR signed after the window shut and was a decent signing.
    Also, all of our signings this summer have been free agents, they all seem to have done well so far other than Allsop who has come in as a backup goalie

    Some people! Has the constant release of updates from the club in the past weeks not been enough for you!
     
    There has been loads of information released to keep the fan base updated. They told us the away kit was out, there was the email about the away kit being available, our second kit, that we wear away was released, and all the other updates…I mean, look, I’m not going to name all of the updates but I think we can all agree that there have been a lot of them, such as the email about the away kit being released for example.
     
    I’m tired of the constant stream of information if I am totally honest. I want to concentrate on the quality brand of football that Rooney is inspiring in us if I am totally honest.

    Another perspective and some mitigating factors (in no particular order):
    COVID19 Backed his managers Cancer treatment  Blaggers trying to takeover the club  Selling academy players not necessarily his choice (i.e. they can go if they want to via tribunal) Sam Rush I'm not saying he hasn't made mistakes but my take on it is he showed ambition but due to a number of factors, it clearly didn't work. I think it's harsh to be say everything he's done is wrong. It's not like he tried to rob the club as previous owners have. He took a shot... he missed. If we had Clough here playing durge-ball you'd all be moaning about the lack of ambition probably.

    I realise  you think you're being funny, but why do our 'fans' feel the need to do this? He's signed for us when we're in desperate need of players - I think that earns him the right to be given a chance before people take the mick.....

    Macintosh got a reaction from Will Hughes Hair in Bobby Duncan   
    I've been working on a book similar to Duncan, did well at youth level at Liverpool, scored lots of goals and played four games for the first team. That was when Kenny Dalglish was manager there. His story is similar to so many, that to be an English player and become a regular player is so rare, that level is a huge leap. Jon Newby, he left for first team football, firstly at Bury, and was there when Kazim-Richards was starting out, then Huddersfield, York, Kiddersminster, Bury again, Wrexham, Southport, Crewe, Burton, Colwyn Bay and Warrington. He loved his career and all he wanted to do was play football, but for one season he was close to ousting Emile Heskey and Michael Owen. I'm guessing this close season was Bobby Duncan's chance to do that, and he has blown it.

    Winters still have the glass plate negative and could enlarge it huge, maybe there is a date on one of the caps? They did play a game against Kent in 1878. Winters also discovered a bricked up cellar a few years back with undiscovered glass plate negatives. I'm not sure if there were any Rams images amongst them.
     
    Here's my Bloomer picture, against Southampton in 1899, in the cup at the Dell. We won – obviously – 2-1. He's in there somewhere, and we'd be in the striped shirts back then.

    I remember digging through dusty glass plate negatives in Winter's cellars decades ago and unearthing an early Rams image thought to be around 1885, an assortment of shirts they had on; it was printed in the Winter's Collection book. So sad that during the Second World War many of their negatives were cleaned and used for greenhouse glass, such was the need back then, those images lost forever. And if you look at the 1946 Cup Final shirts and shorts the players had to wear, tatty and having seen many seasons' wear – one size fits all – nothing like the official kit with collars they had on for the posed team photo later.

    I'd never noticed there was 12 of them! How nice that John McMillan sent this in, only five years later he was starring with Steve Bloomer. I'll see if I have any early team groups to share. I don't think I've ever seen an action image of the Rams playing in these colours. You can see why Frank Sugg played centre-forward, he's huge, and also played two cricket Tests against Australia. There must be some Sugg's still living in Ilkeston or this area that are related. Only other game I saw recorded during that season was losing to Walsall Town 7-0.

    Funny you say that, on the team photo that we got colourised the gentleman by the name of Phil Martin who it turns out was the actual source behind the national football museum who picked up on the green in the new spare report of the first game back in 2001 got in contact, he had never seen the team photo but studied it and said it was odd how there were 12 players in it, he then deduced it would have been the game in January 1885 where Derby County played Cambridge university and if you look closely you can see that spilsbury isn’t in fact wearing a Derby kit he is actually wearing his Cambridge university kit, and there is a newspaper report showing that he did actually play for Cambridge in that match ! That is very clever research at its finest, so we know when the oldest known team photo was taken

    I quite enjoy these old press cuttings, the style of reporting is very sporting and gentlemanly.
    I like plucky play, playing up grandly and a goalie called Farquharson. ?

    I was looking up Cambridge Blue to try to gauge exactly what colour it is, this image here threw me because it looks a lot bluer than the others that do look green. The fourth image on the first page looks a perfect match on my screen to my Pantone book. It is described as Pantone 557, a medium tone of spring green. Even Cambridge University cause confusion, that the rugby team Cambridge Blue colour is different from the rowing team Cambridge Blue colour which has more yellow added to distinguish them. If you compare the rugby and rowing you can see the very slight difference.

    Just look at the state of those shirts, never been ironed, and not worthy of a cup final. When Derbyshire CCC played their early games it was always against Lancashire, and it was 40 years before Middlesex would agree to play against this lowly northern team. All the recent publicity about the first black player to play football, Charles Ollivierre was playing cricket for the county in 1901.

    Whoops! No we weren't, Southampton had striped shirts from 1896, so ignore that wrong bit of history I introduced. There looks more than the 20,000 estimated fans at the newly-built Dell. there must be a thousand on the roofs! Here's Southampton scoring in that same game.

    It is the old pavilion, the top image, and the team photo was taken just before the gap to the smaller hut. I do have a Bloomer goal many won't have seen up in the loft that I'll dig out.
