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!

I'm as chilled as an North Sea Cod, No panic, Will sleep soundly, Get ready for the match in the Morning...bus into town...a 5 min walk to the boozer and the day starts.

Never been so confident since Zebedee said...if you don't fcukin bounce...if you don't fcukin bounce you're a red 😊

The landlady at my local supports Liverpool, and they are playing West Ham on TV at the same time as us.

I guess that the Stage Door will be showing our game!

If the game isn't on you can nip upstairs and watch the Mousetrap

Personal tax allowance is frozen until 2028 😩

I was alway very careful to provide for my old age, it was the tax efficient thing to do, I never factored in that they would freeze the personal tax allowance.

The Government giveth with one hand and taketh with the other 🙄

In todays world we have to be a little cute on how to get a deal, Save a couple of quid and enjoy our retirement, It's the younger ones that will be seeing the chickens coming home to roost and I wish them well 👍

Those up in the upper stands will see soon enough as to whether they'll be an invasion, As fans will start to congregate at the bottom of the lower stands, My guess is there will be a larger contingent of stewards to "try" and stop any incursion of the pitch.

The South Stand and East Stand Lower will be where the "tidal wave" will come from...if at all

If promoted lets all enjoy the day...dispersal order/pitch invasion or not 😊 

Another over the top reaction from those who can control the public, Ones persons disorder is another persons party, I think we'll need VAR here to decide.

Are fans going to celebrate if DCFC are promoted...of course they are, Do people celebrate the New Year...of course they do, Is there any dispersal orders on New Years day?...football support has changed over the years, The police attitude to supporters hasn't. 

Come Sunday afternoon if someone is attacked in Derby town centre...there'll not be 1 old bill to be seen 🙄

Ben Toner is the Referee tomorrow, He's reffed us twice this season, Oxford at home 1-2 and Burton at home 3-2, Hows things Ben...all good I hope 😁 

An old friend who lived on Meadow Lane Chadd was dating BCs Daughter(Elizabeth)she was a bit of a rebel in them days, Dad wasn't impressed as there was a big age difference.

BC and my mate ended up having fisticuffs on my mates front garden, The story hit the News of the World, He made a few bob, We weren't to impressed with him selling the story...he soon bailed from Chadd...never to be seen again by us 🤷‍♂️

Is there an obvious place I should be aiming for to watch the match on Saturday? Sadly have no tickets. Don’t really spend that much time in Derby, only to occasionally watch the super Rams. Seen the Bess of Hardwick and the White Horse mentioned as being good?

Telegraph on Traffic St 👍😊

Any of these! I had the top one.

You shouldn't pay income tax on any pension contributions, period.

If my memory serves me right as this was some 15/16 years ago, The pension money was taken off your gross monthly wage...before the rest was taxed 🤷‍♂️

Would you cheat on your partner?, Steal from you Children's piggy bank?, Wipe your willy on your future in laws curtains?

2 out of the 3 above you wouldn't do

And you should never ever bet against your football team.

Like others have said, put in as much as you can afford.  Also, make the most of your employers contribution too.  I’m lucky that my company puts in a decent percentage, doubling my contribution up to a maximum percentage.  I make sure I get the full amount from them.  Is it salary sacrifice?  If so, you won’t pay tax on your contributions and that’s an added benefit.

We were given an extra option of a salary sacrifice pension with Prudential, It was closed after 6 months through cost to RR, I get £11 a year for life with no increase with the added bonus of giving HMRC 20% of this

Steady there Alf, you drink too much and you won't remember the result.

Oh I'll not forget the result, It's just remembering which bus home I get 😁

I can’t because these days I’d spend more time going to the loo than watching the game 😩

When I do my shopping I only have to move along the beer isle and I need the loo, I've started to wear adult nappies, You know the large ones that can hold a gallon of piss 😁

As far as I know and correct me if I am wrong this guy has been cleared of everything and there is nothing pending or "alleged".

Being cleared of wrong doing in a court in Greece is dependant on how your finances are, The richer you are the more chance of greasing someones palm...being cleared is not a case of innocence. 

Maybe you haven't heard of the Greece financial scandal a good few years ago, Where Government taxes weren't collected as a good few businesses used 2 accounting books, 1 for the real income and 1 for the tax man.

Your either naive of the Greek Court system or or too fixated on xG.

Nice to see you care more about others' claims and suspicions than what courts of law decide. And then use "alleged" to chicken out of passing it as your own opinion due to fear of libel and lack of proof

What are the "averages" of the above following the below.
