Are you ok? 

Ha, no worse than usual! I just struggle to think of a club with a worse rap sheet than us but we're still here. Football in general & being Derby especially is a bit masochistic.

Agree. There are more disasters but these 10 will do.  I assume you are 50 plus? Because you've used a term for a girl I haven't heard in years. Bint. A good old army word from Arabic or Hindi. It was commonly used when I was a kid until the term "bird" came along in the early 60s. 

Very early 40s ? Bint is a well used term up here in West Yorkshire ?

How old were you buddy, which stand did you go in, and what do you remember about the game and score? I don’t think I ever saw Wolves at the BBG.  Went to Molineux a number of times in the 80/90s.

I did .  Hated Steve Bull . Ran us ragged every match.  Bull might be the dirtiest forward I've seen and used to terrify Craig Short.  One of the most satisfying things I've seen at a match was Stimac not giving him a kick apart from the one square in Bulls baalocks that got him a yellow card after old Stevie elbowed him the face.

So....I know it’s been discussed, but who added the eye and when. I prefer the original.

I love classic football. Kick in the 'nads - yellow card ?

Don’t know the answers to your questions but I prefer it with the eye, it makes it look more menacing.

When Derby county got promation premership first time under jim smith also when Derby got promation billy davies 2nd time at wrembly.

I was aware of the first promotion but it was at a time in my life when I was busy elsewhere and not attending matches. I am enjoying the opportunity to catch up with some of those matches on Rams TV.

Great days under Jim. What a lovely man. Happy times.

Second promotion under Wee Billy, soured by the man himself, irrespective of what happened next.

You are a great fan B4, you deserve your team to be more successful ?
