A very sad day today Jim Smith passing away... the manager that got Derby promoted... at 1 point I’d given up hope I would ever see Derby in the Prem and then he gave us the best team I’ve ever seen and one that will take some beating!! Bald Eagles Barmy Army!!!

American businessman Chris Kirchner, who tried to takeover Preston and Derby, could face up to 180 years in federal prison after he was indicted for defrauding investors out of at least $25 million.
The eve of the big game and it has to be this man who created a team good enough to get out of the second tier and then went on to build a fabulous Premier League team… a true Rams Legend… The Bald Eagle Jim Smith!!!

Today’s the day of the big game so il throw Arthur Cox in the mix… taking Derby from near extinction to finishing 5th in the top tier… deserves more recognition!!!

Day 34 of no football & today it’s George Thorne class one of the best CMs I’ve seen in a Derby shirt dominated games... some matches he never misplaced a pass... his passing and control were superb... and looking back at his goals he had one hell of a shot on him too!!
#dcfcfans
This aged well... I remember seeing him interviewed on Soccer Am and saying something similar... at the time i admired his determination but didn’t realise how stupid & reckless the man was ... he’s crippled our club and doesn’t have to account for anything how does work

Things I don’t want to hear with reference Derby County ever again…
1. Stephen Pearce
2. Administration
3. Quantuma
And most of all…
4. Mel fucking Morris!!!

One thing is certain from last nights performance on current form the Shinnie / Knight midfield partnership should not be broken up and Knight should be one of the first names on the team sheet and should always play CM

Saw this pic on a lost football grounds Facebook group… to the majority it doesn’t look like much but to Rams fans it’s a lifetime of memories ⛪️!!!

Great reception given to
@TheCurtisDavies
by the Derby fans!!! Good to see as he was a really good servant to the club and a proper professional!!!

Day 9 of the Derby advent calendar and today it’s my favourite Derby player of all time... Ted McMinn... proper old school winger... nothing beats seeing the Tin Man skin a full back and whip a cross in!!!

On the back of the great manager that was Arthur Cox yesterday... now for the legend that is Jim Smith. Can’t remember how many times I lost my voice singing Bold Eagles Barmy Army!!!

Day 21 of Derby advent calendar & today it’s... Marco Gabbiadini! Top player, always gave 100% played a big part in the promotion team scored some vital goals in that season linking up well with Sturridge and Willems.... good servant to the club and a fans favourite!!!
#dcfc
Day 22 of no football & today’s shirt goes to Matt Oakley... massively underrated... ran the midfield, good positional play, could pass and tackle the complete CM... should never have sold him... well done Jewell you f*****g cretin!

Hard fought 3 points… cracking winning goal… Mendez-Laing man of the match for me constant threat on the right… clean sheet… 31k fans… nothing beats celebrating a goal… it’s so good to be back!!!!

This sums up the refs performance... Lawrence is fouled twice then is given a yellow which could easily be red but just as bad as the tackle that took Clarke out the game which he didn’t even get booked for! All we ask for is consistency... is that too much to ask

Tom Lawrence is lucky to still be on the pitch at the City Ground. He's late and high, but escapes with just a yellow.

Another exForest player with a short memory... tbf Andy Reid had an excuse for not remembering this because he was probably in the queue at Greggs when this happened!!!

The reason we haven’t made the play offs isn’t because of today it’sdue to results against Portsmouth, MK Dons, Fleetwood & Bristol R we’ve had our chances and not took them!!! We’ve come along way from having only 5 players but imo we had enough quality to get in the playoffs!!
No offence to Nugent but his best days are behind him and yes he may put in a shift on the training pitch but I want to see a CF who looks like he might score every now and again

Day 27 of no football & today it’s inigo idiakez we’ve had some top CMs and he’s up their with the best of them. Controlled games from the middle of the park... quality touch and range of passing... his shooting was out of this world. Probably the best free kick taker I’ve seen!
Getting close to the big game now… another legend from the 95/96 promotion team! The captain… the leader and the driving force of the team as well as the man that scored the all important goal… Robin Van der Laan!!!

A millionaire golfer disappointed in only a 12 point deduction think he needs to look at the bigger picture and the fact people are losing their jobs... I wouldn’t want this to happen to any club!!!

As well as the world famous fight with Norman Hunter… there is also this classic moment!

The Normanton End of the Baseball Ground... where I fell in love with football!!! Season ticket holder sat in the middle tier with my Dad great memories the atmosphere against Crystal Palace and Sheff Weds in the cup I doubt I will hear anything like that again!

Count down has begun to the big game on Saturday so thought I’d throw in some in players from the 95/96 promotion team starting with this legend!!! Also how smart is that kit!!!
#dcfc
#dcfcfans
Continuing the count down to the big game on Saturday… an unsung hero from the 95/96 season player of the year Dean Yates… after several seasons of injury troubles I can’t remember this man having a bad game all season… class!!!
