AbuDerbyDave got a reaction from Ramarena in Birmingham City (H) Matchday Thread
Got a ticket in the Toyota stand behind the dugouts heard quite a bit of criticism around me couldn’t believe it when one old boy said that’s the best thing that could have happened when Jozwiak went off injured ?

AbuDerbyDave reacted to RamFan13 in Fans March Sunday v Birmingham
Absolutely brilliant I’m only 23 but was easily one of the most emotional days of my life; getting onto that bridge and just seeing the amount of rams fans together was just a sight I’ll never forget. Not ashamed to say I shed I tear or two on our way to the ground and to get the two goals at the end of the match just topped it all off, amazing. Credit to everyone who organised this you are an absolute credit to this club. Derby TILL I DIE!??

Is she your bird? Can't you tweet her, to find out where she is? When she turns up, just say "Where've you been, duck?"
Oh... and don't order the chicken!
etc... etc...

A red dog mate of mine once got his index finger crossed with his 6th finger, and he assures me it was very painful indeed!
So think on!

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a bigger ‘mental’ than when that equaliser went in. Absolute pandemonium. The moment if left Bielik’s foot to when it hit the back of the net seemed like an eternity. Then, mayhem!

Always been a horrible club. WBA and Villa always had more class. Karma for singing the party song, especially with what they're going through, too.

From first to last, that was emotional. From coming down Irongate and hearing the chants, seeing the flags, smoke and sheer number of people. Walking as one through OUR city, the onlookers shocked, smiling, proud, applauding, BEWILDERED. Booming through Cokc Pitt Island, then understanding the scale of the march as we crested the Pride Park flyover and looked forwards and back. 12,000 Derbeians from all backgrounds, a moment never to be forgotten.
Then getting to Pride Park, heading into the tightly packed concourse, and out to the seat. The swell of noise as 29000 Rams roared their support. It all got a bit dusty as Jamie bellowed our anthem, spontaneous applause, all 4 corners of the ground united as one. The flags, the scarves, the banners, bleeding black and white.
Good of the lads to give us an hour for a breather before taking us back to the raucous highs of earlier to snatch a draw on this day of days. Home to scour the socials and catch a breath.
I'll never forget this one, I'm more devoted than ever. We're Derby County, we'll fight to the end.

AbuDerbyDave reacted to LeedsCityRam in Birmingham City (H) Matchday Thread
Just got back into Leeds - what a day that was
Will begin with the march as it obviously dominated the backdrop to the game. We set off for Assembly Rooms expecting a few hundred die hard (expectations around 1000 I believe) - well, got to the bus station & the noise just hit us. A wonderful display of support - loads of flags, banners & singing - just joyous & if there were less than 10k there, I'd be shocked. There's a little red headed lad who will be very proud of himself tonight - he started 'Since I was Young' when we going under the bridge near the station & 30 seconds later the sound was just exploding off the walls from hundreds singing it. Spine tingling. Outside PP just awesome also - as if you couldn't feel even prouder of who we all support.
On to the game - I do think the march had sapped some of the energy from the crowd & the occasion seemed to get the players a little with a lot of sloppy passes & poor touches. Birmingham settled much quicker & their physical, relentless press soon had us in trouble. The early goal knocked us out of our stride & to be honest, we were perhaps fortunate not to be further behind with one excellent Allsop save & one fantastic intervention from Bird tracking back to stop a certain one on one. We did have chances - Bird dragged a good opportunity wide & Lawrence's late free kick nearly yielded an opening but it had been a below par display & we had offered little overall.
Second half I expected changes but we were still off it & the second Birmingham goal (shocking cover for Hogan by the way) seemed to confirm it was going to be one of those days. Last 20/25 mins though the pressure started building back onto Brum & there were a number of reasons for that - Bielik coming on for Thompson to impose ourselves in midfield, Kazim to help Plange up top & Curtis Davies going up top to cause chaos. They started to struggle to keep us out & we were very unfortunate not to score before the fantastic goal back from Plange - he struggled overall today but will learn a lot playing against horrible CBs like theirs.
Onto injury time, I thought it was all over when Byrne floated a corner straight into Etheridge's hands & feared a repeat of Forest with time wasting & compliant refereeing to see the time ebb away. But we got one more chance & the absolute state of that bicycle kick from Bielik - just beautiful. And full deserved against a horrible, cheating bunch of timewasting cloggers.
I'm not going to pass comment on Birmingham's support & their songs aside to say they're just a tiny version of Leeds. I hope they all have a thoroughly miserable evening & think they have exactly the owners they deserve. Long live Derby County ??

Some things money can’t buy. That equaliser after the Birmingham fans thoughtful song was one of them.
