Dean (hick) Saunders

So owners who can afford to spend lots of money should be penalised by being made to pay some money? 😄

Until the last week it has been a long time since I had been at a Derby Match. My Dad has said I’ve probably seen some of the best football so far this season. So, this thread is starting with genuine positivity from me, as my brother Daniel (B4) would also have done. This match means so much more to the Beavis family than any result. We want everyone to wave their scraves and flanges (not literally, ladies 🙈) and raise the roof for both DCFC and Daniel. Please share the details of the applause far and wide. 
I’m reliably told I need to predict a 3-0 win to Derby. 
My dad, Andy and I, will be in the east stand, stairway 35. We’ll be having a drink before the match and at halftime. Please do come and say hello.

He will leave a legacy via his contributions to this forum that will not be forgotten.
Fitting that we did the business today.

The reason VAR came in 😁
 

Not to mention McGoldick… Makes me chuckle even now despite the unbelievably sad moment.

@Owen87ITK b4 absolutely deserves anything you can do to mark his passing. Thanks mate in advance. 🐏

Andy, who is Daniel's dad, has just rung me to say that he has started to read through all your wonderful messages today. They have made him and Daniel's mum Lynne, cry and laugh in equal measure. 
Andy, Lynne, Daniel's sister Claire, their poodle Marley (Daniel was his butler!) and all the rest of the family are very grateful for the kind messages.
Regarding a tribute, they would prefer a round of applause on the 38th minute of the next home League game against Bristol Rovers on 25th November. There will be more friends and family who know Daniel there on that day, so it would seem more  appropriate than the cup replay this week.
 @David and @Owen87ITK, I  don't know if you can help organise this? And is it possible to have a photo on the big screen or is that not allowed? 
Andy has also asked me to share this photo of Daniel's seat yesterday, with a big thank you to all who came up to him to chat or offer condolences. He really appreciated it.

A non existent penalty in the 100 th minute last week.  A red card and an own goal this one.
Never had that luck did we, not in the first 2/3 rds of the season were they putting in some effort..  Discounting the last 10 games were it wouldn't have mattered as they couldn't have gave a s***.

Very sad news. Scraves and flanges will remain the greatest thing anyone has ever posted on a forum. He always made me smile with his sometimes ludicrous, sometimes unrealistic, sometimes fair but always highly passionate posts - a positivity that sometimes we could all do with a bit more of. His rallying calls were always crazy and brilliant. 
He'll be missed and as others have said, I hope the kind words on this thread will bring some comfort to his family. Top man. 
 

Wonderful tribute mate 

This is from Palace away in the FA Cup just before Covid. I think it sums the great man up.

First and foremost, my thoughts are with Daniel's friends and family, I cannot imagine what they are going through right now.
I heard the news last night and it came as a huge shock, B4 as we knew him so fondly by will be a huge loss to the forum.
He was Mr Positivity, Derby County's biggest cheerleader, even during the bad times his positivity would shine through.
I know his Dad was at the game today with a scarf on his seat, whilst we haven't closed the gap on Portsmouth in Daniel's final rallying call on this forum, I'm sure he will be over the moon with the 3 goals and 3 points today.
DCFC Fans will be honouring Daniel in time to ensure he remains in our memories, we will also be contacting the club in due course to see what can be done during a game.
Suggestions are welcomed as we all come to terms with the loss.
Rest in peace Daniel. ❤️🐏

I have some very sad news this evening.  Daniel (B4) died earlier this week. He was just 38.
As you know, he has been battling numerous health conditions for a long time, but always remained cheerful  and was the most loyal supporter of his beloved Rams, home and away.
He was at the match at Crewe and gave his full support as always. 
Daniel leaves behind a grieving dad, mum and sister. Our thoughts go out to them and we only hope they get a little comfort from knowing how well loved Daniel is by all who know him. 
Here are a couple of photos that his dad agreed could be shared. I'm sure many of you have others, as Daniel loved a selfie at the game.
David is hoping to arrange a more fitting tribute in time, but for now please raise a glass in his memory and a good Derby win today. I am sure that's what Daniel would have been doing tonight.
 

Much as we butt heads over stats there are many parts of your tracking and posting of stats that I really enjoy , keep up the good work even if I do have a whinge about some of them and how some use them 😀

Set pieces
Set piece goals: 5 (=7th)
Set piece xG: 5.41 (4th)
Set piece shots: 61 (5th)
Key passes from set pieces: 25 (4th)
Aggression
Fouls: 166 (17th worst)
Cards: 31 (7th best)

He's got to earn a reward like that.

That's the spirit. I love to see positivity 

Hold up let me dig out an academic study.

Yes but my point is we bring players in on loan who were previously injured for ages then get injured again with us .

Nothing has changed since pre-season. We needed a striker who knows where the net is then and yesterday proved we still do. Let's hope one becomes available in January in our price range.

VAR wasn’t up to much either. Took an age to draw the lines with a quill!
