Turk Thrust got a reaction from ziggyram59 in The UEFA European Championship 2020 Thread
It was like watching Derby. Backwards, sideways, forwards, sideways, back to goalie. Pathetic performance

Turk Thrust got a reaction from Kingpin in Baseball Ground Memories
Also I seem to recall from my days at the Wardwick local history library that the area near the Ground was bought from the Reeves family hence Reeves Road. Their farm was Leacroft farm and so Leacroft Rd. Dairyhouse Road was where they milked the cows.His daughters were Catherine and Augusta (both streets) his son was Malcolm hence Malcolm Street. And Grayling Street is named after the farmer’s donkey! There’s probably more Reeves family connections such as Douglas Street and Olivier Street but my memory isn’t what it was

I used to live in Dairyhouse Road and can recall those evening matches complete with localised smog from all the cigarettes and pipes.

Turk Thrust got a reaction from DazzaRam in Jozwiak
Think she was confusing Joz with another player. I watched the whole match. There’s no way he was one of their best players.

Great knowledge! Was Vulcan Street named after their cousin Spock?

The best compliment you can pay him is that he’d be the perfect complement to Bielik ?

Anyone with the same surname as me is going to be great! When I went to Nigeria I was introduced to the President of the Court of Appeal. When he heard my name he “oh we have lots of you in Nigeria”

Turk Thrust got a reaction from I know nothing in Best Known names for clubs
Yep they still have the song but a record not a live band. It’s hardly a rousing song to get the blood up is it “I’m forever blowing bleeding bubbles” My nearest team is the Orient, a lovely little family club with a supporters club bar that has won CAMRA awards. I go there now and again, once wearing a Rams shirt and didn’t have to pay for a drink all night.

I’ve been a STH at West Ham for 4 years and I’ve never heard anyone refer to them as The Hammers anymore. It’s the Irons and even the official screen says COYI.

Turk Thrust got a reaction from Leeds Ram in How are you all?
After reading this and some if the other posts saying similar things about getting jobs, I am thankful that I have moved past that awful and worrying stage in life. I’m now 74 and retired 10 years ago. Paid off the mortgage, had an extension built (on the house, not me). I started out at Derby College of Art (in Green Lane) but left and signed on the dole, became a librarian (Warwick then Littleover branch) then various jobs before settling on Information management and spent the last 30 years advising developing countries on economic and structural and civil service reform. But I can remember the bad times and really feel for those younger ones leaving college but desperately trying to find a job of their choice. However, things have a habit of working out OK in the end.

Turk Thrust reacted to NottsRammy in El DerbyCo
Whats all this rubbish about that alonso has spoken to cardiff , he did speak to them they have confirmed that but never got into serious discussions . So the bloke is telling the absolute truth .
Im getting sick of this . It looks like to me we have finally got someone young and vibrant taking over the club and alot of people are jealous , and a few Derby fans are irrritated as well as they dont have an excuse to moan .There seems to be a campaign to make this bloke look bad . Jealousy springs to mind to me .
The bloke has done nothing wrong at all so at the moment im fully behind him and find its bloody brilliant that it looks like we will have funds again

Turk Thrust reacted to Reggie Greenwood in El DerbyCo
What exaggeration ? All he said was that he has spoken to them which Cardiff confirmed. He made no other claim , never said he even entered into meaningful discussions .

Turk Thrust reacted to Gaspode in El DerbyCo
I keep visiting this thread in the hope of a bit more info but all I find is a group of wusses overreacting to everything that’s been said (or worse, not said but inferred from someone else’s comments).
The majority of folk on this board need to grow a pair (not you @angieram) and stop wetting yourselves at every opportunity. We are where we are - no amount of crying will change that.
We’re all Derby fans - we never have an easy time - it’s in our DNA. Sit back and enjoy the ride - the alternative would almost certainly be administration (or worse)....

But what if he sits on the bed and puts both legs in at the same time?

Turk Thrust got a reaction from Archied in El DerbyCo
Quite. When I heard this possible takeover my first thoughts were whether or not the owners could bring investment and success to my club. But some others seem to look at his politics first and trot out the same issues as for the previous would be owner. Some even said that politics are more important than Derby County! Sacrilege!
