Just got back home.
Two pints before the game at DW sport place good atmosphere good beer choice for the location no real ale.
Record fair and Bustler market after the game good atmosphere poor craft beer choice given the location no real ale.
Neptune good atmosphere real ale mediocre.
Standing order good atmosphere good beer real ale.
Dolphin good atmosphere good beer real ale.
Shakespear good atmosphere good beer craft beer but no real ale.
Bess good atmosphere nearly run out of beer, so never had a drink.

Home bad atmosphere wife already gone to bed expect no conversation for several hours in the morning then a lecture about stopping out for so long. 
No beer for several days will have to treat her for a meal before I am allowed any beer again. 😂

Like I say... it did look bloody fantastic...
(Of course I took my phone out... I'm not a bloody caveman! 👀)
 

Thanks for that. Thought I'd be calm today - guess not 

More "Club Legend" than "Another Old Boy"... although technically he had old boy knees when he was still playing, I suppose!  😉
Lovely to see that!  🐏🤍

Another old boy showing the club some love;
 

Thought they played some neat football at times. Hope Simpson is given a chance to bring them back up. Their new owners seem to be putting the money in too. 

I’ll second that. Could hear “Untited United” way into the second half. They also didn’t look like a bottom side, they played some neat football. I hope they bounce back. 

The boy did what was right for derby county , very good offer , money came in that allowed us to bring in vital cogs and he stayed on loan , busting a gut to get us up , so fitting he smashed that early goal in nearly busting the net ,,, the boy is a hero on a day for hero’s ,
max bird take a bow , a proper ram always , no matter where he goes on to play

What a relief! Well deserved, I feel. My main concern going into the game was we might fall foul of a bad refereeing decision, which, ironically Sky would confirm. 
I shouldn’t have worried. Even the blatant offside for our second goal was ignored. In the end, it didn’t matter, as we could even have lost. I still don’t want VAR. Swings and roundabouts, and all that.
Onwards and upwards! 

Not sure if this has been covered already but could I also give a shout out to the Carlisle fans who stuck by their side throughout and were magnanimous about our promotion?
Spoke to several of them afterwards and they seemed a good bunch, saying what a great club we were and wishing us all the best.
Hope they bounce back under Simmo.

I realise he's not the most popular, especially on here it seems, but that was as heartfelt as it gets. He's a fan too. 
Bravo, Ed.

Didn't notice it live, but just seen a video... The ref did indeed blow for the final whistle... as he was already heading full pelt to the tunnel... there was an air of "Look after number one, and sod everybody else" about it!  🤣

The stand up for David Clowes moment and applause, which went on and on, nearly brought a tear to my eye because if it wasn’t for him then there wouldn’t have been a yesterday. Thank you so much. 

Absolutely - he saved us. Since 2022 he has never sought the limelight, he has just got on with the job - and we are back!!!!

Congrats and thanks Paul warne , everything I want in a derby manager, class act,
some want football played in a certain way and have no interest in anything other than that ,even if it took us 10 years to get out of this league , that’s they’re choice and it’s ok with me ,
me ? I want seasons like this one , days like yesterday and owners , managers , players I can respect and feel one with in shared good and not so good times , 
I reckon both me and warnie are going to be walking our dogs today with a big smile and spending time with family knowing the value of both yesterday and today ,,,, hats off to Paul warne ,,, a proper football bloke and a proper person 🐏😀👏👏👏👏👏🙏

7th manager in 140 years to get us a promotion? Record points haul? Most away wins? Managed to get through the interviews without saying he wished it was his previous club?
If there is anything to forgive...it's forgiven. 

On Video, that reaction is real.  That reaction means something.  That reaction is unrehearsed emotion.  That reaction is pure Ram.  Top class.
I vote "IN"!  👀

I really didn’t like his early interviews, which were a bit cringeworthy IMHO. But over the last year they have got better. This one I really enjoyed. Very self deprecating, and becoming clear why the players have responded so well to his approach. 
One thing that is clear - his insistence on bringing in “players with character”, which many laughed at when he kept mentioning it, has been the key to our promotion. 
It will be interesting to see how he develops as a manager in the championship. My suspicion is that we’ll retain a strong core of hard work and running, but it will be augmented with a little more flair. 

I wanted him gone after the Stevenage game. Never have I been so thoroughly delighted to be proven so wrong. He was tasked with a singular objective, get us up, and he's done it. Scenes like those today.....they're the stuff of Derby folklore. 

What a brilliant interview.
Anyone who has been negative must admit he's a class act here.
Get the f*** in.

My grandson is doing it, so proud.
