I'd have thought you'd have liked a change in kick-off times, seeing as you're busy at Belper Town 3pm Saturdays! 🤣

Nope it's an all in one package, Belper Town live, DCFC on my iPhone, Now we're promoted DCFC will be on the TV more than most clubs as our grounds will be fullish 👍

So i'll be able to watch when I choose, A Sunday lunchtime will scupper things, That's my time I spend at Church as I be able to flog me  😁

Yeah I get that, and I guess there’s things like he’s going to be breaking up the squad now etc.

Straight after the game he was interviewed, PW said there have been meetings for a couple of weeks concerning the Championship, Recruitment meetings this week, "The lads are off enjoying themselves", "We have to make decisions obviously and that will happen the week after" 

Back to me

If we were promoted we knew that this squad would be broken up, Lots out of contract, Some not good enough, Some calling it a day🤷‍♂️

IMO...PW and Co will already have a list of who's wanted, Who's available and who'll we'll get.

They were so quiet they sounded like Nottingham 😂😂

On one of my private pension sites we were told that there is a new format for signing in, The password had to have 8+ letters with uppercase, a number and a special character, Then a remember ie where you were born, Mothers maiden name, 1st car and the like, And  finally your account number...it was a bloody pain.

1 month later after complaints by users, They moved to your account number and password 👍  

For some reason I'm not a fan of Peterboro...maybe to do with Ferguson👎, Barnsley have sacked their manager with 1 game to go and have fell off the cliff👎, Oxford little old Oxford 🤷‍♂️, Bolton who have gone through the threshing machine as we have so i'll be backing these to go up 👍

After watching Hull Vs Ipswich on Friday night...my thoughts about us being in the Championship took a nasty vibe...they are both way ahead of us...but...PW will be aware of this and knows what bar needs to be set.

This squad...imo would struggle in the Championship...even relegation fodder, There's going to be a a big turnaround...10/11 players coming in at least.

There's not a chance of us doing an Ipswich, But a midish finish and we'll know that there's a work in progress.

Watching this unfold in the Telegraph in town with loads of other Derby fans...we thought that the Pope had been chosen.

For the most part, the Trotters fans who have posted on here this season have been sound dudes. Our 'rivalry' goes back to the first ever league match day in 1888, when we played each other and you raced into a 3-0 lead before we pegged you back and eventually ran out 6-3 winners. I'm definitely rooting for Bolton in the playoffs.

Incidentally, my wife's great-great uncle played in that 3-6 game (Walter Raulstone).

Walter Roulstone (1866–1953) was an English footballer who played for Derby County.[2]

William Roulstone was signed in 1886 by Sawley Rangers F.C. Very little is known about Sawley Rangers except they were founder members of the Derbyshire Football Association. Albert Williamson was only at Sawley Rangers for one season, 1886–87. Albert Williamson was on Derby County's books for the one season prior to the start of the Football League, 1887–88.[2][3][4]

Walter Roulstone made his League debut on 8 September 1888, playing at wing–half, at Pike's Lane, the then home of Bolton Wanderers. Derby County defeated the home team 6–3. Walter Roulstone appeared in 21 of the 22 League matches played by Derby County in season 1888–89. As a wing-half (20 appearances) he played in a midfield that achieved big (three–League–goals–or–more) wins on three separate occasions.[3]

He was the first player to make 100 league appearances with Derby County. His brother Frank was also a footballer. Although Derby County had had a poor season (1888–89), Roulstone was retained to play alongside the more experienced professionals being brought in during the close season in 1889. Roulstone stayed with Derby County for seven seasons leaving in 1894. He played 118 games becoming the First Derby County player to play 100 games for the club. He went to local non-league club Heanor Town in 1895.[5]

Would I have been the only poster teasing B4 that we never caught Pompey if he was around? 

Even though I knew he had some difficulties, I used to enjoy a little ribbing at expense of his optimism, however reading this, it makes me sound like a bully! I don't think there's a regular poster/reader here who didn't love B4's valuation of Rams players! 😄

My take on B4 as a poster, He is NEVER WRONG, If we pointed out his mistakes he'd come back with an answer, Not the right answer but an answer, We'd correct him, But No...he aint having it still more answers, It got to the stage where me/some would just give in, His enthusiasm was infectious, His positivity was overpowering, His loyalty was honourable, He never got upset with posters...he is one of a kind.

Scraves, Flanges, The food down his shirts, The pain in his foot, Losing his job at the Cinema...he just kept going, Even someone like me felt an affection for him...God bless him 😉

This really got to me. It's such a funny but warm picture. Just like B4.

Thanks Cisse, My Daughter is the architect but the idea was mine, I just thought it would be a nice gesture for B4 to look over PP as the Giant of a Fan he...IS! 😉 ☺️

Some tittle tattle on Twitter seems to be suggesting that we bought the trophy ourselves and that it’s not ‘official’ (and thus we are ‘tin pot’).  Anybody shed any light on that?  Obviously, the tin pot comments are purely jealousy and I’m not bothered either way, was just wondering?

Love that the players went into town to mix it with the fans, could have easily gone to a pub privately booked out but no. Lots of taxis available in town as well ahem.

And not one lamppost in sight 😁

Birmingham City

What a last game 👏

Sorry to hear about your mate 😔

Having scrolled through Instagram this afternoon/evening, seeing the pictures of Dad’s on the pitch with their sons and daughters, players being paraded around on fans shoulders, I don’t know.

They are pictures that won’t just live in digital format on phones, printed off, displayed around the house, memories that will last a lifetime.

I've been sent a picture of my 14 year old Grandson with Eiran Cashin on the pitch, Now that's one to treasure 😊

Anyone slightly worried that me might be in trouble with EFL?

Ref blew whistle 2 minutes into injury time and everyone piled on the pitch, when the announced ET was 4 minutes.

I'm older than 4 minutes 

Well today is done, Not quite the cantor I thought but a win is a win, Promotion is what it's all about and it was done, There'll be a cull in the summer...but that's another thread.

Not quite wasted but enough to get home, Telegraph was RAMmed and rightly so.

My 1 disappointment was with the North Stand, All the old and young uns...ran onto the pitch, My you just couldn't hold your excitement could ya 😁

Well done all...over and out 😊

Todays another day in our great history, 27-04-2024 will live long in our memories.

Derby County squad/management it's in your hands

Derby County supporters will push you along.

GET IT DONE!
