Thanks to @Dankee I have managed to add this fantastic shirt to the collection of shirts, here’s here, he’s there he’s flipping everywhere John O’Hare john O’Hare!

Hard to believe it wasn’t even twelve months ago since this fantastic night ! Stop crying Bielsa !

Exactly @richinspain! What better way to stick it up you neighbours than to trot out in their colours !

Seriously, I couldn't give a * about the actual colour of the (second) shirt if it's got the ram on it. Even though that is red it's still a thing of beauty.

Walking to an evening game at the Baseball Ground and seeing the floodlights for the first time.

I worked with and then took over from Tim when he retired from the local concrete company at Barton In the early 1980’s . 
He was a true gent , had plenty of Rams stories and opinions on the poor side we had at the time. Used to meet him periodically over the years until his death.

1991/92 keeps shirt

My all time favourite Derby kit, the introduction of the iconic Umbro diamonds on the sleeves was the magic ! My first shirt as a seven year old kid, this shirt was owned by Trevor East of tiswas fame and given to him by his good friend Bruce Rioch during his time on the board, they used to drive in together from Birmingham, this was the last shirt that I was after so might take it easy for a bit now, it was also worn by Gerry daly with the famous repainting of the penalty spot against Man City the 1976/78 umbro home shirt and full kit 

Sorry... for a minute there, I was sure that I read something about Sky inviting Richard Keogh to be a live match analyser... as in speaking... in front of the camera... live... to an audience...

This book by local Derby historian Peter Seddon is an absolute “must read” for Derby County fans. Exquisitely and beautifully written, the prose takes you back 135 years to the very moments at the Bell Hotel in Sadlergate, Derby in May 1884 when the “upstart” Chocolate & Cambridge Blues were created; you are taken through the journey piece by piece and can almost hear the discussion which took place in that salubrious yet smokey hotel room. Beautiful stuff...Repton schoolmasters, farm labourers and Midland Railway clerks combine during a unique period of English social change to create the Beloved Club we know today. All in the name of filling the empty coffers of the faltering cricket club...

Lots of interest here but one article stopped me in my tracks.  ‘Bold decision’  jeez
 
 

Brilliant. Can we see inside please?

I know we have one for shirts by @loweman2but I couldn’t see one for other bits and bobs.
i picked this up a few weeks ago

 

Never gets old does it! 

Yes in a nutshell and anyone else saying different is a big fat liar. 
Not only was it our team captain but 2 other players as well. A bigger media spotlight that will have affected Cocu and staff along with all the other players. It would have caused friction between them for so many reasons etc....
Preparation which is key these days will have been affected whatever way you look at it. We are also now playing a former winger, come left back, who hadn't played for a year or so at the back with an ageing Curtis Davies who had been benched previously all season. So not only did we lose a team captain, we also lost our best centre back as we speak.
He has alot to answer for I am afraid.... Can't help but feel for Cocu.
