if you get the chance the 4 scored against Newcastle in the 1/4 final of the FA cup 1976 are fantastic (on you tube)...the 4th is my very favourite ever.

Good luck Rams against The Massive ,hope you stay up .
Your fans were some of the most fervant in our fight against the Oystons, hope to see  you in the Championship next season. 

Follow Leeds Rhinos and drink whiskey. Not in that order. 

I'm beginning to think we might struggle to reach the playoffs this year.

And I do fear that might be a challenge. 

As ever, you provide hope in troubled times. ??‍☠️?

Spot on, but……It’s Friday night…and this is far too reasonable. Have they turned all the pubs in Utch into Neverspoons ? 

Scotland heading to a play off to qualify for the world cup. Currently 2 nil up v Moldover, secures second in the group if they win.

It’s called Rugby League. Rather popular in these parts. Very good sport too. Much better than Union nowadays.

One of the best games I've been to at Hampden. 
I honestly can't remember a stadium bouncing like that for a good 20 mins after the final whistle. 
On nights like last night,  international football > club football. 

Think we should sing this during game on repeat for no other reason than it is one of my favourite songs and still sounds brilliant sung by a load of tone deaf blokes - and blokesses! ?

We’re back in the black. On the table, at least, for now. COYR.

Behind the goals at the Normo end, I saw QPR shred us a new one. Bowles, Marsh, Given. And despite Mr McGovern v Liverpool and Charlie scoring against Real in the same net. I knew it would always be special. Whatever happened.

Where's the chimp?

Too kind. You really shouldn’t have bothered. Nice send off for Mose.
However. If we both win next week, it sends the Rhinos home. Which would be sweet, Caroline. 

Good spot, but…..There’s still something very wrong with a Ram wearing red. Must have lost a bet…

Yeah my recollection was 2 or 3 weeks late in December

Just finished reading Unknown Pleasures by Peter Hook so I have revisited  the Joy Division back catalogue pretty hard recently… atmosphere is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. 

I hope the Aberdeenshire Rams are all healthy and well.
With the International break on, the eldest lad and I are off to watch Inverurie Loco's v Formantines this afternoon in the sunshine.
Aberdeenshire Rams trips coming up - Oct 2nd Swansea (H) & Nov 20th Bournemouth (H)
Great to see the new mascot at Aberdeen is a Ram. Any new Aberdeenshire Rams out there? Please get in touch.

More than three lines ? Never happen. But I shall treasure the day that you lead the East Stand in a rousing chorus of  :
every woman, every man
join the Derby fans
stand up, stand up…………….
every woman, every man
and even forest fans
stand up, stand up
 
aha aha aha
 
 
 

Greetings from "Across the pond" in Detroit. It took me while to gather my thoughts on this topic and commit to posting them.  
My Derby fandom arrived much later in life, at 45 years of age.   I grew up in Detroit and have always supported Detroit sports teams, as well as Michigan State and Notre Dame University.  I grew up playing soccer, as did my father, who emigrated from Croatia, as well as two of my three boys.  My middle son and I started following the club in the 2013-14 season. We were interested in finding an English team to follow and knowing Andy Appleby as a fellow metro-Detroiter we started to follow Derby, originally only through the team's twitter feed and the occasional broadcast on BEIN network.  We watched them through the playoff victory against Brighton, then the calamity against QPR.  
An additional Detroit-Derby link is through Roger Faulkner, a Derby supporter who was one of the co-owners of Detroit's 1970s NASL team, the Express.  
As we are acclimated to unfortunate twists of fate with our Detroit-area teams,(ie the Detroit Lions NFL team)  the playoff final defeat cemented our support of Derby County.  In the years since, we are charter subscribers of RamsTV  and are now able to follow a number of games on ESPN Plus.  I also follow this forum on a daily basis and do admire the folks who frequent this Board, such as B4 and David.  Your deep, heartfelt support of the club, usually with a healthy dose of humor, is a joy to peruse through these cyber-pages.   
Other random observations from the Motor City:
 - Whether my son and I ever get to Pride Park remains to be seen, it is definitely on our bucket list.  If any forum goers are in the neighborhood, I would be delighted to treat you a Detroit City FC soccer game.  They are our local team and have a game atmosphere that supporters such as yourselves can appreciate. 
- While Mel Morris has his detractors these days, in my view he was spot-on with regard to EFL television rights. They are tremendously undervalued.  The Championship is the most entertaining overseas league to watch, in my view.  The Premier League top clubs are usually the in the same group of 4-6.  The Bundesliga, La Liga, League 1 and Serie A are all dominated by super clubs, with the remaining teams just trying to stay up. What fun is that? The Championship season is a rock-fight every year. Evenly matched teams with historic rivalries.  A crabs-in-the-bucket attempted escape through either the untold fortunes of promotion or the richest game in football.  Conversely,  the trap door of relegation immerses a club in financial quicksand, without parachute payments to assist out of the morass.  
-  In a way, the reduced expectations of this year may make for a more enjoyable season than chasing promotion.  If the club average one point a game, they will be in a position to stay up at the end, which is the goal of this year.  In any other recent season a home draw to Huddersfield would be met with concern from Derby supporters. This year, it feels like a win. 
- Thank you for your contributions to the forum, which I have enjoyed reading through the years. I hope to meet up with some of your some day either at Pride Park or the next time Derby launch a summer tour of the US.
