    ... The day before. Reflections of yesterday with a bangin head!

    It wasn't just Pride Park or the Neptune - it was the whole of Derby - some places have it and some don't, it's that simple!

    It's easy to support Liverpool, it's easy to follow one of the Manchester clubs.

    I don't think there is a greater footballing place in the UK than Derby!

    COYR!

    How’s everyone feeling today? It was real high at the beginning of the match and the second half. I did have walk around the pitch where I found some of my new DCFC friends. I shed a tear for B4 and sprinkled a few more ashes on the centre spot with my dad. We had several people come up to us to say hello and pass on condolences and congratulations for B4, which was lovely. 
    I don’t want to sound like a party pooper but I’m feeling really flat today. Watching the football and the excitement of the race for promotion has been a welcome distraction and a tribute to Dan. It might just be my body and emotions telling me I need a breather over the summer. 
    Maybe we need a thread with our highlights of the season and celebration pics? You all amazing at picking me up. I saw a post on another thread earlier that said ‘when are we signing Mbappe?’ 😂 That made me smile 

    He was always going to be a big part of yesterday so I felt I really wanted to see you and your dad before the game.

     I knew the general area of where you would be but within seconds of going through the turnstile there you were, it was as if someone had ushered me there 😉

    I spotted that too.

    I took it (pure guess) to mean all bets stand at that time, as opposed to it relating directly to the match/kick off time.

    The league positions aren't gonna change between final whistle on Saturday to Sunday noon.

     

     

    PS:  Yes... kick off is 12:30 Saturday... BST!  👍

    Subject to alteration.

    # SKY we do what we want.🙄

  4. Right, obviously not everyone will be happy with whatever happens so here’s a compromise. Assuming we get whatever is needed to get us promoted, at the final  whistle the scoreboard clock is reset, the inevitable pitch invasion starts and you have 5 minutes exactly to get your instagram photos or whatever. Then a siren is sounded and the police dogs are unleashed to sort out anyone left on the pitch. Sorted.

    I don't disagree - but if we go up, it would be churlish to deny him the opportunity to manage the club in a higher league, because the alternative is always somebody who is either untried or someone who has failed elsewhere.

    There are some on here who would be prepared - nay, willing - to sack him now (or after Saturday, irrespective of the result against Carlisle). The problem with that is threefold:

    1. Compensation required to pay off Warne and the rest of his staff
    2. Compensation required to pay off the club whose current manager we subsequently poach
    3. The 'new' manager finding that his budget for the next transfer window is missing the amounts paid out due to 1. and 2. above.

    Warnock it is then 😂

    I was there at QPR 2 seasons ago when relegation was confirmed and there was a mix of emotions; sorrow but mixed with pride at the fight we’d put up against enormous odds. I’m not ashamed to say I teared up that day. We’ve come a long way in that time; we have a brilliant owner, a manager who, despite my reservations about his style is on the brink of fulfilling the brief given to him, a feeling of togetherness and a club healing after years of chaos and excess. 
    If we get it over the line on Saturday I will very definitely be shedding a tear or two. 😢

    I was exactly the same at QPR, we knew it was coming but when it was confirmed it was a horrible sinking feeling and I too shed a tear. And then we carried on singing and clapped Wayne and the boys off in a great show of unity.

    There was a small group of home fans that had been barracking us all game but then actually applauded us at the end.

    I don’t know where you’ve been reading that but I suspect there is zero chance of a points deduction. It happens all the time when a team wins something or gets promoted. It’s already happened at least twice this season (Pompey and Wrexham) and I’ve not see any mention of such a sanction.

    Wherever you read it, stop reading there.

    I also don’t think the club should embrace a pitch invasion. They’ll probably expect it’s going to happen IF we seal promotion but they shouldn’t be encouraging it. Accept that some will run on the pitch but hope/aim to get them to return to stands for the lap of appreciation to take place. I’m not sure how the elderly and unsteady person on the row in front of me would be partying on the pitch. 😀

    Carlisle at home, we had won the league, in the Normanton lower, I was 15. 0-0, all on the pitch. It was going to be relaid so I took a piece from the centre circle.  Went to school on the Monday and persuaded my teacher help me preserve it.  50 years later and despite me living all over the world I've still got it.  Magical times.20240424_203328.thumb.jpg.8bdc5e45a3cc9c99e989c69776d0c5f7.jpg

    I did the same but replanted mine in the garden at home, didn’t last the week 😂

    Blackpool please - certainly one of the better awaydays and decent fans.

    Definitely Blackpool, then play them away early or late in the season.

    Two or three years ago I was getting a bit fed up of visiting the same grounds every season Bristol City, Preston etc, now we’re hoping and praying we will be back there next season.😂
