JakeDCFC Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hello, my name is Jake and I recently created this account as I would like to make some new friends with other Derby County fans. I am from the US and have been a football fan for nearly my whole life. It is what comes with being brought up in a Latino household lol. Anyway I was initially drawn to English football, the premier league specifically, of course but never had any allegiances until around 2016. That is when I decided that I would support Tottenham of all teams LOL. Years passed and my passion as a Spurs fan died down and during that time period I became very entrenched in football. I would consider myself to be a football fanatic as I follow the 5 major leagues in Europe along with some of the other bigger leagues (Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal etc.) as well as the leagues in South America and Liga MX. As my Spurs fandom died down over the years and my knowledge of football began to expand I began to pay a lot of attention to the other 3 leagues in the English Football system and that is when I discovered Derby. I have to be honest I mainly became interested because of the badge and how much I like rams as animals haha. Anyway I began to start following Derby more recently and want to learn even more about the club as an outsider from across the pond and would love to meet fellow Derby fans who I can talk football with and learn more with. Not sure exactly how this whole website works, but feel free to leave comments about anything, I would love to have some cool conversations!

Woodypecker Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hello Jake! OK, we will have to set you some deep-learning modules :)) Search and read up a-plenty on these DCFC legends for starters, and then you'll love us even more! Steve Bloomer The Baseball Ground Brian Clough & Peter Taylor Kevin Hector Dave Mackay Roy McFarland Igor Stimac The Bald Eagle (Jim Smith) David Clowes Then for balance, to understand the true resilience of Rams fans in adversity, look up: Robert Maxwell The Three Amigos Mel Morris Quantuma If you are still determined to be an honorary overseas Ram after that lot, you're as crazy as the rest of us!

MadAmster Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Welcome young buck... or as we say in Derby, Ay up me duck (Angelina Jolie will gladly explain that one, see https://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/angelina-jolie-confuses-everyone-with-ay-up-me-duck-greeting-to-derby-actor-jack-o-connell-9870300.html) Welcome to Ramkind where lows are as deep as the highs are high. The highest high being the camaraderie between Rams fans. I have had the pleasure of meeting a few posters in real life and they all made a favourable impression. There's no finer bunch anywhere than Derbeians, especially those who had the sense to move to Amsterdam 😉 JakeDCFC, AlvoRam! and ariotofmyown 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hi Jake I'm Dave, I like to keep things downbeat around here, miserable as sin, I think the whole footballing world is against us and every manager we have just isn't quite the right man. I flipping love Derby though, 23% than I love my wife! JakeDCFC and SKRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hi Jake welcome aboard. We once had a fan from America on here. It didn't end well though. Hope your stay fares better. 👍🏻 JakeDCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foreveram Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Hi Jake, the first thing to say is it’s normally frowned upon to change your allegiance for a club this side of the pond, but we’ll put that down to inexperience, but over here it’s not like a marriage, this relationship is for life.

Bris Vegas Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Choosing Derby as a club to support would be similar to choosing to marry a hooker. A few thrills, but will ultimately end in heartbreak. i-Ram, JakeDCFC, David Graham Brown and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
