If I knew who he was I'd certainly not vote for him.

Actually, i am relieved they are happy about our plight, would hate to have their sympathy.

I think he is growing in his role as manager and as a person. He’s got my full respect and more importantly of the dressing room they are giving everything for him. ???

The Home end it is then

Tongue in cheek remark mate.
When you've lived with the slow decline from 76 just as the gumps were on the up, through to the 3rd division relegation, Maxwell etc its hard to see it as the worst but it may well turn out to be yet. Strangely though, some of the best memories are of those years followed by the promotions.
You won't get a ticket to away games next season for love nor money!

You're quite young then?

I've got to say that the both the players & the fans have had an excuse to just hide and feel sorry for themselves this season
But they haven't done that. The teams performance on Saturday was definitely not that of a team who have given up, I was really impressed with how they kept their shape and stood up to a barrage of 'Warnock' football - and were able to look very able in attack at times.
None of the starting eleven went missing and that's got to be seen as a positive for Wayne Rooney - there's no sign of anybody just taking their paycheck like in recent years. I don't think we have anyone in the squad who could be described in that way.
And the fans played their part too. 14,000 Derby fans made as much noise as 14,000 in the BBG - fantastic
For the missing fans that haven't been to a game this season, we want you back but please play your part to support the team - it must help the players so much
 
 
 
 
 
 

Can someone possibly provide the clip where the 2 Boro players ran into each other and the ref gave a free kick to them?

It’s such a strange thing, the whole sense of being a fan. Why do we do it.
I’ve told this tale before but it’s worth telling because this post makes a good point.
I never much liked Football as a kid, sure I knocked a ball in the garden but I liked cars, engines and motor sport … because that was what my Dad was in to.
My Grandad was a football man. He took my younger brother to Old Trafford every week.. then one day when I was about 15-16 my brother was ill .. I went instead. I was sold and in love way before kickoff, 2nd division  .. but that noise, the passion, the songs .. Then I lived through a time for the next 5 or 6 years when going to home games .. the win rate was like 70% . God I was on a role .. this was fun. Granddad got older, season tickets got expensive, girlfriends came along and I lost football ( Then 20 years on I moved to Derby.. sure I checked the papers, watched the TV, loved the treble season but it was as a plastic half fan. Not a glory hunter, I was a long time fan after all wasn’t I ? 
Odd game at pride park over the next 15 years and then Season ticket on a whim in 2014 .. Talk about born again. What had I been missing ! .. This was what I remembered football was all about. Thanks Mac ! 
Thing is I always made a once a year visit back to OT .. but it got worse and worse every time I went. Didn’t know the players, didn’t “feel” it. It was like an expensive Macdonalds .. so artificial, “match day experience” portion controlled, branded. 
 
I never understood what “triumph and disaster” meant until DCFC came a long .. god I love you, thank you Derby, now I really know ? .. league 1 league 2 .. whatever .. don’t care. It’s magic and exactly what I felt 50+ years ago. I see the same faces every game, they don’t know me, I don’t know them, but we know each other and we want the same thing. We wake up on Sunday after a win with a little smirk on our face, we get a little flutter when we set off for the ground on Saturday, you nod at the guys sitting near you even though you don’t know their names, only have that one thing in common. you laugh cry  banter and it means something .You can’t do that in the higher reaches of the prem .. it’s an artificial  money machine with football as the wall paper using our PIN numbers to make it work. Fans of the big clubs are a product to be milked. Fans of clubs like Derby are football and what it was always meant to be. It won’t die .. it will simply move down the leagues while the premier league becomes an investment commodity  like pork bellies or soya bean futures..good luck to them, I am not buying.
 
 

I said in 1984 that if Derby go to the wall I'd never go to another match, nothing has changed for me. 

Agree. Getting close to the point where it might actually be for the best to enter into administration. I have more expectation that an Administrator might find us a better new owner than Morris, we take the points hit, sell a few more, and then start to rebuild the club ‘Cox’ style over the coming years. Our Club needs a reset.

........I don't think it's the club's problem, it's the modern world and how it's been dictated too, and how it has to operate, and how people operate in a sheepish copy cat manner, or are expected to operate with everything been operated by mobile phones, scanners etc or their equivalent. Most other clubs are operating in the same or similar ways, with cashless grounds, and the like and less revenue streams as per the current COVID repercussions etc.
Them pesky kids at apple and the like are the problem...............it will eventually get to the case, where I will not be able to go and watch a live game of football because I don't own the appropriate, necessary mobile phone that scans me into the ground, and let's face it, that is the day, when I happily stay away, as I don't want to be in a ground where the majority of the crowd sits, playing around with their miserable phones during the game, whereas some of us just want to go, and actually watch the beautiful game of football, without any of these poxy annoying things anywhere near us.
Such will be followed in a few years time by 11 v 11 robots watched by a ground full of mobile phones on seats, whilst humans are all in the car park, charging themselves with electric, instead of their cars!
It's the world, that is the problem, and all the suckers in it.
Bring back the turnstiles, employ humans to operate them and sell me a proper football ticket, that I can keep after the game, so I can have a physical memory of what I have really done in my life, God, Jesus and Steve Bloomer didn't waste their lives trying to get into a football match pressing thousands of buttons, sending e-mails, to the clubs, typing about it on forums, linking id's and e-mail addresses and on and on and on and ariston!
Simplicity is Genius!.........Long live my little Nokia phone........we live on, to fight another day!
