I’m 54 today, thanks Derby County for making my day.
Sorry for not being there but watching the bounce brought a tear to my eye

.........in the past we would have lost that game 2-1. Not anymore!

First post on this forum having followed Derby since growing up here in the 00’s - so proud of this team at the moment! Doing the city proud, especially the talented academy boys stepping up in the club’s time of need. The great escape is on!

Even Jimbo Ram is impressed with that performance tonight ?Superb win. 3 wins and 3 clean sheets. Can’t argue with that . And I have bragging rights over my Potters fan best mate.???

I love this team. Old men and bairns giving absolutely everything. Duck the EFL. Fight to the end. ?

I beg we never spend big money on a player again. This team and the QPR play off final team made for peanuts and are great to watch for different reasons.
Also even if we don’t stay up I hope we ruin as many other teams play off dreams as we can! ?

Best win of the season. 
Tactically spot on today both the initial line up and then the subs made the needed impact. Pressed with real aggression and used the ball well with purpose. This is the best we've looked so far this season and gives us that glimmer of hope.

I’ve been on a family meal, in disgrace for constantly checking my phone.
Longest 5 minutes added time ever.
Beautiful evening. Thank you my lovely team!

I said it earlier, but I'll say it again. What a brilliant job our academy players have done this season! Thompson was brilliant tonight, and Plange grabbed a goal, but we've really struggled with senior players this season, and our academy hasn't let us down one bit. Every one of them who have been called up has stepped up brilliantly. They're a credit to this club. 

Incredible. Stick that up your EFL.

Get in!!! Fantastic win. 6 points against West Brom and Stoke in the space of 3 days? Maybe it isn't quite over after all... it'll be the hope that kills us in the end.

Hi EastAnglianRam,
I'm Ipswich-based so could be interested. Would depend on the date though.
If not that then an away game around here (next season might be better!) or meet up for a beer or two over a tv game.

Evening chaps and chapettes. Not quite sure where to put this but thought it might be nice for a bit of nostalgia.
Working on a new book (as you do, more to come shortly. This one actually has nice footballing times in it) and met up for a reminisce yesterday with the legendary Graham Richards and Colin Gibson.
Graham is still in fine form and still sounds as iconic as ever. He came down to meet me in a scooter at Stoke Train Station, warned me his memory might not be great and then proceeded to reminisce about games we've probably all forgotten. Colin, well Colin is just fantastic.

On the book, watch this space. I promise this next one will cover more enjoyable times than Pride.

Don't forget your big plate @Tyler Durden.

Football is a huge part of our lives and we all will have our own stories with what the game means to them and how it's a chapter in their own autobiography. I can't put into words how I would feel if there was no Derby County.
All the talk of a phoenix club, AFC Derby doesn't give me any comfort, I get the fairy tale of starting at the bottom and rising back but I would rather not see our history wiped and a footnote on some Wikipedia page in 50 years time.
This club has been a huge part of my own personal recovery which has been well documented on this forum already to repeat, when SRG text me with the news we went into administration I felt myself physically shaking inside and went white in the face apparently.
My missus would vouch for me when I say I did not see this coming.
It made no sense and I wish that feeling on no fans, not even Leeds or Forest.
The Bristol City fan coming on saying Lansdown isn't Mel Morris, he's an accountant, the guys losing almost half a million a week and has been for 10 years!
How on earth he has any idea of how close he is to pull the plug I don't know. Let's not forget Stephen Pearce is an accountant as well.
I honestly don't consider anyone out there that is enjoying watching our existence under threat as a real football fan, I mean a real fan that lives and breathes the game.
Banter is banter, laughing at relegation, a defeat, missed open goal, but this is beyond banter.
Unfortunately we're in a world where on social media people crave attention, being toxic, a shock jock in their own little show gains them that attention and it's part of the game now. Not a part I would ever have respect for.

Just wanted to say this, I take no enjoyment from clubs failing P&S rules, football is broken, Covid is hammering the final nail in the coffin.
I'm sure the vast majority of Bristol City fans are decent football fans that don't deserve to see their club punished.
However, when one fan takes his obsession with our situation to a level that's beyond normal behaviour, it's hard not to have a smile on your face when reading the clubs statement.
Bristol City the club, the staff, players, fans, no ill feeling, wish you all the best and hope you can sort the financial situation out without punishment.
Mr Poppadom, I hope they throw not just the book at you but the library, you had this coming you muppet.

Oh what could have been had he played Marriott and wags in the final. 
The start of the slippery slope downhill I'm afraid. 

I had the cracking day at PP yesterday. I won a competition for 2 seats in an executive box, 4 course meal, great seats and free parking outside the main entrance for the game. Had a great time chatting about our mutual love of the Rams to the other winners and to top it all a deserved win over one of the supposedly best teams in the league! Made my Christmas it did! COYR.

This is unfair criticism. He's just back from injury and did the job that was asked of him, there wasn't a lot of possession coming his and Plange's way, midfield were struggling.

Hi just signed up after years lucking in the shadows, sit in SW Upper ...fullest it has been all season by a huge margin ...even singing in concourse at HT ..can’t remember that in three years I have been in this stand, me and my mates all  thought 23 to 26k given 3k. wBA fans...having said that don’t care ...the support was amazing last 30 mins...have to go back to a full house v Brighton to remember it being that good ......hard being a DCFC fan at times, ( understatement of the year) but we are a special club and the heartbeat of the City 

The 14 players who were on the field for today's win :
6 academy players
5 free signings
3 signings bought for under £1m combined
The 4 who didn't make it on:
3 academy players
1 free signing
Putting some Pride back into DCFC.
