So all those who said we need to make allowances for all the crazy stuff that happened last season, then that we need to make allowances for all the injuries at the start of this season, then who stood by and applauded the incoming signings and then got hope from the first quarter of a hour of today's game - ah that's how Cocu wants to play - then BANG!!!
Individual errors, at least two from Rooney, and all those "allowances", signings and signs of positive play are forgotten.
Let's get Cocu out and bring back someone who had a team made for him and still failed to get us promoted. Or someone who spent loads at Bristol and didn't get them promoted. Or negative Hughton or Howe.?‍♂️
For heaven's sake, patience means patience... Giving time means more than "twenty minutes".
Cocu in. Think long term. COYR ?

Gary Rowett is by far and away the best manager we've had since 2015.?

Isn’t insanity doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results?

Last season at BBG
 

I'm starting to hate this particular trend. 
I get the need for clubs to make money by selling shirts, but it's a bit of a poke in the eye when teams like Liverpool and Southampton, and now the England shirts rip people off by making a 'peasant' version.

I know you were just commenting on this season's shirt and it is a good shirt and I agree with you regarding those criticizing it on here.
Just thought I'd comment on the ridiculous price of the BBG shirt as it's been shown here.
I'm the same as you, I wait for the end of season sell off, I'm still waiting for the zebra one to go down to £10 as I think £20 is too much!

That's horrendous - punishing you collectors, eh? Just for a bit of extra embroidery.
Exiled in the South, my son supports Southampton. They sell the 'regular' replica shirts - for around £50 - but they also sell "match quality" shirts for double that - £100.
The price of shirts is too high anyway, we all know that and the reasons for it.
But I wasn't referring to the BBG anniversary shirt...I just meant I liked this season's style of home shirt.
I'll probably buy one when they're £10-20 in the end of season sell off.

I don't get the criticism of that shirt... To me, it's classy and elegant.
Even better given that it's available without the sponsor's logo.

Just wanted to celebrate this kid who has introduced himself in the  rams around the world section of this forum. Many will know of his super-quick goal clips provided on Twitter, this South Korean lad appeared recently on Rams Review Podcast (where he politely tolerated being called Lee the whole time, which is his surname/family name)
Somewhat bizzarely, he became a passionate Ram since the play-off final against QPR (must be drawn towards injustice and tragedy) and gets up at 3 or 4am to watch matches.
He also writes pieces promoting our club in South Korea.  I'm not on Twitter but I'm sure many have welcomed him already. Hopefully we can reach out and help him visit Pride Park one day. I think he will feature more on ramsreview pod so a relationship is developing there.  Hope the club are aware too and might assist.
 
 

Not added for a while but I’ve been busy behind the scenes, these are the shirts that our club wore to mark the heroic efforts of our NHS and our local hospitals through what will be viewed in the future as one of the worst pandemics to have hit the world population, these are going to be very rare and sought after, especially the home one as it was a real one of and only worn in this format for the final match of the season v Dirty Leeds, this one was obtained for me by my old mate @Quangy .

I've acted like a spurned lover.
I been trying to pretend his going doesn't bother me, and it was time to split up, overdue even.
I thought he'd take his crap clothes out the wardrobe, threaten to storm off, but not really mean it.
On your way nobhead, good luck finding another who loves you like me, I thought. 
Knowing all along he'd be back in my arms before long, having spent the night sleepless in a lay-by, cursing his brinkmanship as he slowly snuggled further into the blanket I'd tossed at him as he walked out the door, while nibbling the kendle mint cake I'd packed in the middle as a surprise.
He's called my bluff, fooked off with another partner who's no doubt been whispering sweet promises in his ear, and all I'm left with is tissues and sweet, sweet memories.
Farewell my prince, you've given me more enjoyment than any other player since the Jim Smith days, and I'll always love you.
 
 

At least it's not that team that also play in red from down the road.

So the end of an era and we won't see a better Centre forward at Derby for a very long time I fear.
Martin,together with several players from the Mac era,reignited by love for Derby and the Derby way of playing exciting,skilful football that was a joy to watch.
Wish him well at Bristol where I am sure he will flourish and their gain is certainly our loss which I hope doesn't come back to bite us on the arse on at least two occasions this season.
 

Proper centre forward. Good luck Chris.

Steve Bloomer endorsed boots.

They were in a job lot of memorabilia I bought a few years ago.
 

Some 1970's player rosette.
