Little late to this so apologies. What I think was brilliant, and it was, about B4 was that on an internet forum where we can argue for fifteen pages about whether or not Chris Martin should come back (he shouldn't btw) he managed to bring out the best in us. He had an ability to allow us to come together for the very reason we joined this forum - Derby County. Genuinely, that is no small feat and I say with certainty that this forum, and most likely the lives of those who knew him, will be a poorer place with him not amongst them.

Could have been worse 
 

Fantastic song that. May have to give Raintown a play today. 👍❤️

George Best bought me a pint when I was about 14. My dad managed to blag league one/two playoff final tickets in corporate at Wembley (don't ask me who played, no idea, not Derby so I didn't care). Best was at the bar and my dad sent me for an autograph. He said "only if you'll have a pint with me" so what was I meant to do, argue?
So yeah. George Best bought me my first pint.

Saw him play a couple of times for QPR and he was beyond poor. But his record at this level (Posh, Charlton, Rotherham) is decent so let's hope he can get a run of form going. His goal on Tue was very good, though I'm still not sure if the drag back / dummy was intentional or just him getting the ball trapped under this foot. Either way, back of the onion sack and all that.

Who needs enemies with mates like that, etc!  🤣

It is so sad that you can watch the video of this so easily on line. This is someone dying and it's shared and reposted in a click. What a sad indictment of the human species this (the video sharing) is.
I agree with @RadioactiveWaste - not watched it and have no intention to, out of respect for all involved.

Away at Hartlepool in 1984, first time in my lifetime we'd been in the first round of the cup. I got a train down from Newcastle, where I was living at the time. It was proper tasty, just a wire fence between us and the home fans. Every few minutes a group would jump over the small perimeter wall, run the sideline and jump into our fans for a bit of action. We lost 2-1, seem to remember John Robertson being utterly useless but not much besides
We got ran back to the station with a police escort of about two officers who frankly didn't want to get involved. Back in the station all the Derby fans are on one platform and all the locals are on the other, baiting each other. I'm with the locals as I am going north, back to Newcastle, on my own and keeping very quiet. Till someone recognizes me and starts shouting at me across the platform "hey up", "what you doing over there" and all that. I just turned to the lad next to me and said "do you know that lad?". Got out alive, but only just.
Seem to remember we drew them again in either the FA or league cup the next season, I gave that one a swerve.

That’s some good statting. 

It should be called 'Eddie Lewis Day'. That's the signing that summed up that season, summed up Billy Davies and the point where we knew we were screwed.

As a friend said to me over the weekend "Norwich are going to take your record this year" I wanted to suggest the initiation of St Claude's Day, the date on which no club can undertake (or equal) our points tally of eleven points. Named in honour of a player more symbolic of our lack of preparedness, ability, and commitment than any other (a statement of recognition in itself) in that 07/08 season the race is now on to predict on what day it will fall this season.
In previous years St Claude's Day has fallen on the following weekends, last season's Covid affected schedule aside it has only three times made it past New Years Day.
2020/21: 4th March (Sheffield United)
2019/20: 22nd December (Watford)
2018/19: 27th February (Huddersfield)
2017/18: 13th December (Swansea)
2016/17: 19th December (Sunderland)
2015/16: 18th January (Aston Villa)
2014/15: 29th December (Leicester)
2013/14: 26th December (Sunderland)
2012/13: 2nd January (QPR)
2011/12: 31st December (Blackburn)
2010/11: 27th November (Wolves and West Ham)
2009/10: 19th December (Portsmouth)
2008/9: 8th November (Spurs)
So, on what day will St Claude's Day fall on this year? I predict it will be the fourth time it has made it past New Years Day but I still think last week in February our record will be safe for one more season.
 

This weekend marks the earliest date that St Clods Day has ever fallen on. Even if the Blunts get maximum points from their next four games they can't get there till 2nd Dec. Still got four months to beat their own record of the latest date it has ever fallen in 2021.

You had to go say George Thorne didn't you?

Not related to the above but I see you are trending on Twitter @DarkFruitsRam7

... type. GT type. Or a Sethalike. In the end injury did for them both. Shame we'll never know how good GT would have turned out to be. He was already very good and, given an injury free run.... we can but dream.
