    Speak for yourself , the man saved derby county and gave me back my love of football and everything derby , I live and work in london swamped by chelsea , arsenal , Man U ect fans and a good few of them follow derby results , will us on , have banter and most of all see me as a proper football fan with season tickets travelling miles upon miles and see derby as a proper club , this god forsaken league 1 ? Since Mel drove our club to the wall I’ve started to experience the real passion and rollercoaster that football should be again, I’ve watched us win the league twice in my lifetime and they were great times but were wins any better feeling than wins today with the south stand and half the ground singing 21 points ?     NO, 
    derby county mate ,,, that’s it 🤷🏻‍♂️, if we are meant to go up we will , if we are meant to compete at the top table again we will but I’m in no hurry to put pressure on clowes run before we can walk or place us in the hands of somebody with no connection with or understanding of our club and city to be a toy till they get bored 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Mel Morris attitude and why we are where we are today. There is always someone who has a better record, doesn't mean it's what's best for the club though.

    I was going back over to my mum's on Saturday afternoon to look after her. I timed my journey so that when the applause started I would be parked off the road in a beautiful little hamlet near mum's home called Dunstall. The light over the hilly countryside was so golden that afternoon. It made all the trees, fields and sheep and sky seem gilded with gold. Just when the applause started It seemed as though there was a moment when heaven and earth met briefly. Bless you, B4, this amazing moment summed you up.

    Was gutted we missed that great chance in the 37th minute!  I was literally praying to the heavens at that point... and I haven't even spoken to God since about 1968, when the infant school headmistress told me to!  
    So pleased we ground it out in the end, and got those 3 points for B4.  🐏
    A great effort all round by us clappers, I thought.  Went really well... although as soon as I sat back down, I had to explain to the querying guy behind what it was all about.  I just find it weird that there are folk in the stadium that don't come on here!   🤣
    I didn't cry obviously, being such a tough guy, but yeah, there was very much a lump in my throat... and a hint of a smile as I looked up.
    I hope he was reet chuffed!

    I'm tempted to say I hope I have that many applauding when I go, but knowing my luck, that will be as soon as they get the news, and a bit scattered, not the planned concerted effort of respect we saw today! 🤣
    I was secretly hoping for a minute's worth of "#BeMoreB4" flickering around the electro-hoardings, but then forgot to look, as I was too concentrated on looking up'ards!  Not seen anyone comment, so I assume this didn't happen?  Shame, but fair enough, I guess!
    Great to hear B4 got a mention on the commos though.  I too would absolutely love to hear a re-run, if there's such a thing out there? 
    And of course, as well as Daniel himself, I truly hope the family... and particularly our new mate @B4’s Sister... were touched and proud of the response... as it was no less than he deserved. 👏
    He was a top guy then, he's a top guy today, and he'll remain a top guy for eternity.
    Sleep well buddy.

    So emotional today, hearing the applause ring out for Daniel. I was very heartened to read that both RamsTV and Radio Derby mentioned him in their commentaries. 
    Thanks, @Owen87ITK.
    If anyone has either snippet, those of us at the match would love to hear them. 
    The moon rose over East Stand this evening in his memory.
    B4 will live long in our memories. Go well, young man. 🐏⚽️🖤🤍

    Gisby reacted to Inverurie Ram in New Shirt & Short Sponsor (HSG)   
    And since you posted such on here @REDCAR unfortunately the majority of comments are also quite sadly doing exactly the same. It’s the sheep mentality. All knackered slagging David Clowes off already, after slagging Paul Warne off to absolute bits, then someone mentions a new sponsor and instead of discussing the new sponsor and it’s potential benefits, well that must have something to do with that Pearce bloke, so time for them all to slag him off to bits. It’s all predictably sad and destructible.
    For what it’s worth, sounds like a good deal, the more good deals the club gets, the more the good, good people benefit from such.

    If anyone wants to make this happen I have the means to do so at home, I'm currently in MK until Wednesday before I return home to Ripley but I could print whatever is required on the back. I don't want any money for it, all I'd ask is that you cover the cost of what it costs me to do it, which shouldn't be much more than a fiver per shirt. If you're interested drop me a message and we can sort something out before the game Saturday to help us pay our respects to a legend.

    Gisby reacted to Mucker1884 in Put a fork in football, it’s done!!   
    Yeah.  Fair do's.
    But is the reason that it's never been as popular simply down to the ease of which it can be spread around the planet?
    We had The Green 'un, the Sunday papers, local wireless, and eventually the odd highlights show.  Live FA Cup final was about the limit... but half the households either didn't have a telly on which to watch it, the aerial had blown down, or they didn't have a coin for the rental meter! 
    Is it more popular because it's better?  Or because of what the youngsters refer to as "The World Wide Web"?  🤷‍♂️

    Agree with all this. But I think there is a difference between being “content” and wanting Warne sacked (give up and roll the manager dice again hoping for a 6 instead of a 2). 
     
    I am not content (expect better) but accept being patient for now.

    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.

    I have never posted on here despite joining the forum a few years ago, I do view it all the time though. I never met B4 (Daniel) but his passing really upset me on Saturday and I had to leave it until now to finally comment. The way he absolutely loved DCFC always shone through in his often rallying positive posts. I will be at the Bristol game and I will stand and applaud in memory of his all too short life. My condolences to his family and friends. RIP Daniel sleep well mate. 💔🐏

    Been a member on here for a long time but made very few posts, like many I’ve just taken interest in the thoughts of others about the club.
    Didn’t knew B4 in person but recognised his panda pic for a long time as one of a handful of ones I’d skim through long threads to read his posts, they were just some of the more fun & interesting ones made by what seemed to be a nice guy. Looking at what people have said on here he was a nice guy and when I saw this thread today my eyes watered up.
    I hope his family know how much of an amazing thing it is that just by being a genuinely good nice guy he managed to make a lot of real people who he never even met or knew beyond writings on a forum stop and shed a tear. Well done, thanks & rest in peace B4.

    The turtle post was my doing 😝 Daniel left his phone lying around unlocked so I started posting facts about turtles on his Facebook for my own amusement. After about of month of this, someone Dan worked with gave a small stuffed turtle because she thought he liked them so much 😂  That Christmas every present I gave Dan had turtles on them 🤣🤣🤣

    Ashamed to say that I’ve only just seen this thread. Like everyone else I’m absolutely gutted by this awful news. Even in our darkest hours (and there’s been plenty of late) B4’s been a constant ray of light that never failed to raise a smile. It was clear from every single post, without fail, that B4 absolutely loved the club, and in turn, who couldn’t love someone like that.
    I will miss his unwavering optimism. I will miss him. I really hope the club and fans can do something in B4’s memory. God bless you Daniel.

    Had a cry when I find out and had another cry now reading all the posts
    What a bloke - can’t count the amount of times he’s made me smile on here, it can be a bloody tough forum to read at times when you consider the club we follow but he was just the best
    Not only hilarious but completely spot on - the team would do better if we got behind the lads like he did
    I still remember laughing my head off as a younger Leicester Ram at the yellow belt saga, in another life I’m sure B4 will be running the resurgent DLF
    Haven’t been to a game since my uncle died but would have made the trek from London come rain, shine or national rail strike for the Bristol Rovers game for Daniel
    Unfortunately I’m in Vietnam and can’t make it back, have to admit I’m devastated because he deserves the best send off possible - remember back in the days of the DCFC Fans podcast that I said he was my favourite forum member and he always will be
    If anyone is sorting out a flag for him etc but finding the cost a bit dear, please let me know as I’d love to help out

    I never met him, but I feel like I did, and his positivity in the face of a lot of life's crap that he faced was always inspiring and remarkable.
    He will be sadly missed and my heartfelt condolences to his family and those of you who knew him personally.

    I am unsure if this thread is the appropriate for this post, please remove if it is not.
    I first encountered B4 on another forum many years ago. It was a very different place compared to this forum, and at times was not pleasant.
    That B4 was able to become such a star here is down to @David and his team. What a valuable resource this forum is for Rams fans. Yes we carp, squabble and throw hissy fits, but the reaction to B4’s passing, and his many posts, show what a strong and supportive community we have.

    Oh my goodness, what a response!
    Hello everyone, I’m Claire, Daniel’s (B4) sister. I am overwhelmed by your kind words, support, and the memories you have shared.  Thank you so much for the kindness and love you have all shown to Daniel over the years. My parents are working their way through all of the posts and will offer their own thanks in due course.
    I wish I knew about the scraves, flanges and ballions before now. I wouldn’t have let Daniel live that down at home. This made my husband and I laugh this morning.
    I will be wearing Daniel’s shirt and keeping his seat warm at the Bristol match. Really looking forward to hearing a big cheer and round of applause in the 38th minute, a goal at the time would be perfect!  Do please continue to share the picture with details of the applause. Let’s raise the roof for Daniel!!!
    Thank you all again ❤️
