1 April 1975, Derby 2 Manchester City 1, Rioch 2, big win on the way to the title.

Is that where his dislike of us was born? ?

Seven years before Gibson was even born, and we still liked to stuff 'em...!

29 March 1975, Derby 5 Luton 0, Davies 5.
On the way to the League Championship.

Both wrongly disallowed. One was a header when wee Archie headed it towards the goal but, wanting another, Roger jumped from behind him to apply the final touch, only to be given offside. And if I recall the other was a poor handball decision. Was at the game and have talked with Roger about it (obviously). But my recollection is watching it again on Star Soccer, so it's always seemed odd to me that no footage supposedly exists. I'd love to see it again.

Also 2 disallowed.

28 March 1928, Derby 5 Manchester United 0.
3 days later, 31 March 1928, Derby 7 Cardiff 1.
Derby 4th in div 1 that season.

All great points I agree with, but I guess we also have to accept the world has changed from when we were kids.
To most older people, not having had that social interaction would be unimaginable. But kids today are already adept at forming relationships with much less face to face time. 
We can't say our way was all good and the new way is all bad though. 
For example, our world was made for certain types of characters to excel: confident, outgoing, attractive for example.
Perhaps a more online world gives the less extroverted people a chance to shine? The workplace extrovert who everyone likes, so no one questions their productivity vs the boring and shy nerd, who whilst working at home, leads a design via chat that build an incredible new product.

27th March 1946
FA Cup Semi Final Replay
Maine Rd, Manchester.  att 80,407*
Rams v Birmingham City:
 
After a 1-1 draw at Hillsborough, this replay remains goalless and level at 90mins, but Derby score 4... count 'em... 4... in extra time, with 2 goals each from Peter Doherty and Jack Stamps.
We're the famous Derby County, and we're going to Wemberlee... WEMBERLEE... WEMBERLEE...  ??
 
 
 
*I believe this still remains the biggest midweek attendance outside of Wembley, for a domestic match between two English clubs.  (Stand to be corrected!)

27th March 2010..Derby 1 Leicester 0..a wonderful own goal. 
 

Henry Newton’s shot seemed to swerve all over the place, great goal.  

Haha, just had a flashback to a bit of a fracas outside Smethwick mosque that day before the match....small group of Derby and West Brom having a brawl whilst being observed by a few of the mosque faithful. It all seems a bit surreal now wondering what they were thinking watching a dozen drunk English gentlemen in broad daylight squaring up at the foot of the mosque steps. 

26 March 1994, WBA 1 Derby 2, Johnson, Simpson.

On this day March 23rd 1946.

Saturday 23rd March 1946
Rams v B'Ham City
FA Cup Semi Final. 
At:  Hillsborough. 
Att:  65,013 
Rams get off to a flyer, with a 4th minute goal from Raich Carter, but Mulraney grabs an equaliser on 59 minutes, and the two teams will need to replay in 4 days time, at Maine Road, Manchester, for a chance to face Charlton in the final, after they beat Bolton 2-0 in their semi final at Villa Park.
 
 

22nd March 2014...
A day to savour...
?????
 
 

On 21st March 1973 Derby beat Spartak Trnava  2-0, to go through 2-1 on aggregate to reach the semi final of the European Cup.

Fancy a coffee, anyone?
March 20th 2004...
 
 

I remember being at this game and the pace Barnes showed for his goal was unreal. I nearly pissed myself laughing at Kevin McNaughton pumping his arms and legs through custard trying to get back to within a mile ot Giles ?

Derby County 3 - 0 Leicester City
March 18 1972
A great day too because I was born as well.

March 15th 1969 Derby County 1 Huddersfield town 0 Roy Mac header from hinton’s corner.Not a particularly stand out game but it was my first and 52 years later I’m still going to matches with my son and grandson.

Happy days. 
beating notts and a great reminder of what it’s like with a crowd in the stadium
