Match Thread: Carlisle United (h)


Recommended Posts

So many thoughts and emotions at the moment.

I went into Derby to watch the huge, noisy, smoky crowd as they wended their way through the town. Flags galore and a positive, good-natured feel to the occasion. I was excited but dreadfully apprehensive about the final score. The energy from the crowd just had to lift the team and carry them over the line... surely? What could possibly go wrong?🤔

I listened to the match on Radio Derby. Once we had scored 2 goals I started to relax and enjoy the game a bit more.

When our lovely Max Bird went off I felt so proud of him, so sad to see him leave us and worried in case he was about to regret his decision to leave.

It wasn't one of our greatest games but it was bound to be a nervy game. Our opposition had nothing to play for and we had everything. Perhaps the players knew that if we won, their holidays in the sun had begun!

So sad that B4 wasn't with us physically to celebrate this wonderful party but I really hope that he is celebrating somewhere. I loved the 'Be More B4' displays round the ground. It reminded us of what a smashing guy he was.

I loved all the scenes of the players after the match, being carried on shoulders, celebrating with families. Their relief was palpable and so well deserved. Well done to them all for achieving this promotion and well done to every single member of staff connected with the club.

I felt proud of Paul Warne for what he has achieved. He is a nice guy and I like him. Whether or not he can take us all the way, I am grateful for what he has done so far, for his passion for the club and for his care of the players. I felt very happy for him today. He has brought a good ethos to our club which I'm sure was part of David Clowes plan.

After everything we have been through over the last 2 years, the sadness, the uncertainty, the anger, we have achieved promotion and tonight Derby fans will go to bed feeling very drunk, ecstatic, full of positivity for next season or may be apprehensive. I think our club is in good hands and I am so grateful for David Clowes for getting us to this place. He loves this club and I am so grateful and reassured that he will not take any risks with this club which he loves as much as we do.

Sleep well tonight, fellow rams. Like I said, it has been a day of so many emotions, but tonight is joyous and a time for some fizzy!! X

They simply can’t be relied on. Did they not read the script? They were clearly going to blow it so I put a few quid on Bolton to soften the blow.

Where was the capitulation, the wilting under pressure, the missing in action?????

There are certain things you can rely on as a Derby supporter and I feel badly let down. How am I going to pay for my summer holidays now?

YOU RAAAAAAAAMMMMMSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!

 Best £50 I ever lost 😄

1/  Has the whistle gone yet?  Do we have to go back to finish it off?  🤷‍♂️
2/  The "Stand up for David Clowes" had me welling up... as did his double lift of the trophy.  ("Once more for the cameras please David"!)
3/  "Ok... erm... well... how about you agree to stay off the pitch until after the final whistle then?  Deal?".  That has to win the safety announcement of the year award!  🤣
4/  Visually, the scenes (on the pitch) afterwards looked stunning.  But the atmosphere was lacking.  Lots milling around wondering "What the heck do we do now"!  Very little in the joyous celebration department was evident from the stands.  Just a couple of ripples.  Nowt special.  I repeat... visually stunning. 
5/  Disappointed with the lack of a lap of honour (No surprise there!), but so glad I hung back to the end, and watched (on the big screen) Mr Clowes lift that trophy.  What. A. Hero.  🐏
6/  Yeah.  After 49 years, it's up there.  It's still means summat.  I still feel it... which is nice!

Now... where's that bottle of Emva Cream... Cheers, fellow Rams.  🍻

Forget the Emva cream, Phyllosan fortifies the over 40s
