Mucker1884 Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 That's right... 12:30 Kick Off. Having started my matchday thread career with a 1-0 defeat in the reverse of this fixture a couple of months ago, it'll be great to end the season with a two game winning streak, so do me proud, you big beautiful Rams, as you did so majestically at Blackpool! ? Big day all round, for this one... A not-so-fond-farewell to the Championship... close on 30k in the stadium... Quite possibly jumping around, despite going down... and sombreros galore, as we rightfully pay homage to the Div. 1 Champions of 1971/72... now 5 decades on, but never to be forgotten. Those particular heroes will of course be parading on the pitch, and we owe it to them, and the club, to arrive extra early. This is not a time for apathy. These Guys ARE Derby County History! Let's be there for them, as they were for us! Make it loud. Make it proud. Make it memorable... and then repeat for our present day heroes. Two celebrations in one? What a club! ? May The Championship weep in our absence! Oh yeah... something, something football too... something team selection, something tic-tacs, something, something whatever, etc, etc. ??

The £££ runs out today. Let's hope CK arrives at PP with a holdall full of wonga. And not those silly Bitcoins neither ?. Full-house, sombreros flying through the air when we score...

I will drag, kicking and screaming, The Uttox massif out of the pub early to make sure they pay homage to my boyhood heroes. They'll moan like buggery about having one less pint but we are stopping in town after so I'm sure they'll make up for it.

Photos with the Aberdeenshire Rams & Uttoxeter Rams flag together? Saturday morning I will be in the Silk Mill, Tap, The Exeter etc. Not sure where after the game, if interested, I'll PM you my details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r4derby Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Bringing the whole family to this one. Kids second game. Hopefully they can see some goals and a win. But I’m sure the atmosphere will be great regardless. Think we may be seeing the last of a few of these players in a Rams shirt, and each one deserves an ovation. Looking forward to it and actually having some optimism for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mucker1884 Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 On paper, this is a nothing game, at the end of a less-than-nothing season. Why then, am I mega excited about the game ahead? I really shouldn't be! Why then, am I actually nervous, as if the outcome of the game matters at all. It really doesn't! Why does this feel like a massive game. It really isn't! Why do I still feel like this after 47 years in the job? Why do I not grow up, and start acting like an adult.

Real answer: Because our future as a club still isn't 100% certain. It won't be our last game as a club, and it won't be our last game at PPS, but I've still got a few nerves about the possibility as well.

I think it’s because of everything that’s happened this season. Pride, with a tinge of sadness because realistically this is the last time we’ll see a lot of these players wear the shirt. Oh, and excitement about paying tribute to the biggest legends in the club’s history (Clough, Taylor and Mackay aside).

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Not quite sure on formation with that line-up... my guess: Allsop Knight Davies Cashin Forsyth Bird Thompson Ebiowei Morrison Sibley Lawrence COYR!

RamDotFi Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Maybe 3-4-3 with Ebiowei and Knight as sort of wingbacks..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Playing some really nice stuff at times, it's good to see. Just missing that cutting edge up front, as has been the case for the last couple of years. Really hope we get to keep this squad together. It's 2-3 additions (and a bit more experience) away from being very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
