Leeds Ram Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 (edited) What are your spine-tingling derby moments? The moments where a little tear started to come down from your eyes or a shiver went down your spine? For me there are more than a few. But the most recent one must be the atmosphere before kick off at Pride Park against Carlisle. Not sure I've ever heard the ground this loud and after all the club had been through a couple of years ago it felt like a truly cathartic release of passion, energy and noise.

Kernow Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Going on the most recent one, the split second where Bird lines up outside the box, you hear “SHOOOT”, then silence, then the net ripple, then the roar of celebration. Before that when Marriott dinked it over Casilla at Elland Road. Hendrick at the City Ground in 2011. Pearson vs West Brom.

ziggyram59 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 From the past I pick 2 matches both European Cup matches at the Baseball Ground 1972/73 against Benfica and 1975/76 against Real Madrid. Of the present you can't beat the play off semi finals against Leeds at Elland Road what a match. MickD, Crewton and Premier ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Idiakez pen for Southampton. "So so Wembley" as Ross Fletcher described it. Rain pouring down, tension, release, pitch invasion after. Unforgettable. TimRam, jono and Alty_Ram 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 The administration / relegation season: Bielik against Birmingham, made even sweeter after the poisonous atmosphere from the away end. Tom Lawrence’s goals against Sheff Utd was it. Sibley’s late winner against Peterborough. The win against Fulham. Curtis Davies against Reading. The atmosphere and release when these goals were scored, the togetherness and the sheer us against them attitude with the potential death of the club hanging over us made these game ‘spine-tingling’ for me. Got to be worthy of a shout. jono, Kathcairns, Mimester and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Paulo Wanchope receiving the ball in the Derby County half, charging past 4 United players before slotting it in the corner past an amazed and helpless Schmeichel. Saw it live in a pub full of stunned United fans, I screaming like a demented banshee, oh what a moment, what killer looks I got and how little I cared. jono, Kathcairns, Gee SCREAMER !! and 5 others 5 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Derby 4 Ipswich 4, Steve Mac just appointed with a watching brief. We were falling apart so he came down and stuck his oar in. Turned me from a casual supporter in to a fan. Got that football shiver that I hadn’t had for 25 plus years. …That shiver … I think all of us know it, it doesn’t come every week but when it does, it’s a moment to savour. A draw ? A team in the bottom half of the table ? …. Didn’t care, there was something special that night and it made me fall in love with live football all over again. Made me a proper Ram.

RoyMac5 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 As a youngster watching the celebrations at the Council House, and the bus touring down Duffield Road before that. It's faded a bit (or more than a bit!), but still, climbing up a lamp post to get a better view of the players and the trophy, hasn't been beaten. #COYR jono, Leeds Ram, Crewton and 3 others 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Roy Mac’s OG for Finn Harps, to get them on the scoresheet. Such a sweet and caring thing to do, and I remember thinking “Ah, bless ‘em. Nice one Roy”! 👀 TimRam and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as others mentioned bielik goal after the march and marriott goal at elland road (wasnt there even) but for pure emotion just walking out into the ground first game after we were rescued from administration has it for me Dordogne-Ram, Kathcairns, Leeds Ram and 4 others 5 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ram59 Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Going to the first match after relegation to Lg1 is a most depressing moment to fans of most teams, but for us, it was the joy and relief that we still had a team to support and a hope that we would never take that for granted again. Watching our players come out of the tunnel to start that game was really emotional, realising how close we were to losing it all.

jono Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I’ll throw another one in from recent times. Not a “greatest moment” but a huge unforgettable emotional upwelling. That first game when we were emerging from Covid. Masks, hesitancy, showing your NHS vac cert, looking around, sitting in my seat, sun shining players coming out of the tunnel. Out of nowhere I had tears of relief, phew ! The world is getting back to normal, darkness recedes. It was a beautiful day.

Crewton Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 The moment the ref's whistle blew to signal the end of the first game after we went into Administration, meaning we'd beaten Stoke. The deafening roar of defiance from the crowd at that moment set the tone for the fans for the rest of that season. Also, beating Everton 2-1 in September 1969, the games against Benfica and Real Madrid and the 4-4 draw with Man U on Boxing Day 1970, probably the loudest football match where it was only fans making the noise that I've ever been to. Many more that others have already quoted. BramcoteRam84 and jono 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
