    ziggyram59 got a reaction from Pearl Ram in The UEFA European Championship 2020 Thread   
    First of all we need to win tonight which won't be easy. Would rather have played Spain, Italy will play a defensive game to try and stop us from playing football, they will foul players all the time, there players will go down injured when it suits them. At the end of the day the Italians still know  how to cheat and gamesmanship. As old Derby fans will remember from the European Cup Semi-Final against Juventus in 1973, And if Denmark do beat us then I want them to win it, I couldn't support the Italians in anything, still haven't forgive them for 1973.

    That is a depressing thought but with all the rumour, panic and discussion about administration and financial woes (eg after a certain ex Forest players deleted tweet) if that happens as long as we are gradually getting the off pitch stuff sorted so that we can be stable as a club and we can still support in lower divisions, I would take that

    Well, Lewis has signed up for two more years and big regulation changes next year, so next season will likely be a better gauge of if the power is shifting in a big way.
    Yeah, verstappen scuttled off into the distance but there was a lot of other racing going on. Lando Norris was excellent, Russell had a great duel with Alonso for 10th, Perez sucked all race, Lewis wrecked the cars underside and dropped back, the Ferrari cars both made good progress.
    Overall it was one of the more boring races so far this season and it is looking like max/red bull are going to walk it, but there's all sorts of competition and racing going on down the field. McLaren are looking not just 3rd best but like they can interfere with the too two teams from time to time, Ferrari are not far off McLaren, alpha tauri and alpine are also closely matched, Aston Martin are improving.

    Didn't watch yesterday's race as it was obvious Verstappen was going to win again, it's a cert he is going to become the F1 World Champion this season unless something really drastic happens. Reminds me of when Alonso came along to challenge the dominant Michael Schumacher is it the changing of the guard in F1?

    I would argue that the Euros are harder to win than the World Cup, for sure the competition is a lot more even than the World Cup, there are very few, if any gimmes that is for sure.

    We've gotten to our second ever Euro semi-finals, surely thats a massive achievment in itself?  Even the Danes have been to more semi's than us, nevermind the fact that they've actually won the damn thing - they have far more pedigree in the competition than we do.
    Its been a good run so far.  We started slowly but have grown into the competition with a couple of good wins in the knockout stages.  Denmark will be a tough match and tbh they could easily beat us if we don't hit top gear.  I'm looking forwards to the match and will have enjoyed the competition regardless of how it ends.  We're starting to see a real confidence and identity from the national team, one that previous, far more famous managers, haven't been able to foster. 
    Win or lose the trajectory is definitely upwards ?

    Before we all get carried away, we ain't won owt yet.
    Failure to do so and this is just the same as every other tournament England have been in bar 66. Southgate himself said not reaching the semi's would be a failure so we've basically just achieved our minimum expectations. Yet minimum expectations being met seems to equal mass hysteria.
    Will be interesting to see how the narrative changes if the Danes beat us.

    I'm trying to just block out any thought of the domestic season at present and just focus on England and the Euros. 
    I'm hoping all will come good and there's movements in the background that we aren't privy too but it looks bleak at the moment and you can't argue with fans being vocal about the short term and long term future currently.

    Can't get excited about it. There's so much uncertainty at the club at the minute. Things could happen very quickly but it's just impossible to say.

    Cox is an interesting comparison
    "He arrived at the Baseball Ground, asked Roy McFarland to be his assistant, and found only 12 players, of which nine were under contract. Undaunted by the scale of the task, he began to build and Derby moved from the High Court to the First Division in just over three years."

    Is there anyone like me really dreading this season? I'm just not looking forward to what's going to happen. At present can enjoy the Euro's and England's success and the joys of what football can bring. Remember the days when we had that with Derby County? The days of Clough, Mackay, Cox and Smith, great players and great football.

    If England win the Euros it will be right up there with the greatest footballing achievements of all time only bettered by Forest winning the European Cup by beating Liverpool, AEK Athens, Grasshopper Zurich, Koln & Malmö and Oster, Arges Pitesti, Dynamo Berlin, Ajax & Hamburg. ?

    It's obvious the EFL have a big Vendetta against Derby all I will say on the issue is I've been a Rams supporter since 1971 seen the glory days and the bad days but if the EFL relegate us and we end up in League 1 next season then that's me finished with football this all stinks of politics between Parry and Gibson. Mel Morris I feel as just destroyed our club.

    I’m not sure the EFL and Gibson have a big vendetta against Derby County ziggy but I’m certain they have one with Mel Morris which unfortunately means to get him, they have to get the club (and fans) which is not cricket.
    What have the fans done to aggrieve Gibson and the EFL ? We are not responsible for the books, we didn’t pip Middlesbrough to that 6th place on the last day of a season (that’s why Gibson’s so pissed off with us) but we will be the ones left to pick up the pieces when Morris’s cleared off and sunning himself down at Sandbanks or somewhere more exotic and that’s not cricket either. ?‍♂️
