CBRammette Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 So today 1975 we beat Real Madrid. Does anyone else find the "on this day" posts from the club or "last time we met it was a great day for...someone who has gone" just makes where we are now seem even worse? Perhaps they should post "it could get worse" and show heavy defeats or clips from third division relegation season to make it not seem so bad. Just go away with your Real Madrid posts. Sorry feel better now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry feel better now Yes, I often think we live in the past just as much as our friendly neighbours down the road! But I do remember how excited I was that night, although I wasn't even there and only listening to the match on a transistor radio in my halls of residence at uni.

Duracell Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 You're not really a Derby fan under 30 if you don't have at least one member of your family who still references that night against Real Madrid several times a season. There's been occasions where my dad's spoken about that night in a tone that suggests it's my fault we're not that good any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How things change. The most memorable game that I listened to (watched) in my uni halls was an FA Cup third-round replay against Southampton.

I was really young in early 1970s and all I had to show for it was a large collection of foreign dolls - presumably drunken guilty purchases at the airports!

Your grandkids will be in awe when you tell them about the first Derby goal to be ruled out by VAR, in slightly controversial circumstances.

Curtains Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This was a great memory. Was on the Popside that night. Charlie was just the best. I swear that ball was in the back of the net before it left his foot Roger Davies and the late Jeff Bourne waiting to come on . Both very good strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammeister Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 The problem is, when I was a kid playing in Europe and winning titles seemed normal. It was easy in hindsight to be blasé about it at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t ever recall seeing you in the same room at the same time as Tommy Docherty! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimRam Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 I remember as a kid watching that first leg on 'Sportsnight'. I could not believe, looking in the morning paper days later, we had lost the 2nd leg 1-5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
