Rams fan view of the final

[PeterWithesShin]

There were, the 20 or so that tried to do their fan area and the twats bottling a coach full of scarfersfor starters. All clubs have bellends, especially for Wembley trips.

Fair play Ramsfan for coming on here before and after the game. 
My dad wanted me to watch the game in Alrewas , which seemed abad idea !
You’re a great traditional club, and play football the correct way.
I hope you keep Frank for one more season , and wish you the best for next season. 12 points against Baggies and Blues please. ♥️

I did a charity collection a few years ago outside Pride Park. Not only were the Derby fans impeccably behaved but they were very generous, friendly and good-humoured.

Political leanings (which have no place in football anyway) aside, I always thought Lampard was a decent, intelligent and principled bloke.

Best of luck next season, I'd rather see Derby in the PL than 19 of the sides currently in it!

Derby County, a decent club full of decent footballing watching people.  Gracious in winning, gracious in defeat.  I hope you and Frank stick together and come up next season.  Make sure you beat pubehead home and away please!

Cheers Ramsfan and met lots of your kind today and almost all of them were great.
We have our idiots too which should not detract from the way Derby fans represented their club.
I genuinely wish you well.

Question: How the fuck did I get a hangover before I went to bed?

Question: How the fuck did I get a hangover before I went to bed?

I asked the missus the same question, and she showed me a photo of myself and my brother clearly the worst for wear at 10 am this morning. Helpfully supplied time stamp and location as well. That's social media for you, grassing you up left, right and centre.

I thought Lampard almost did a Bruce last season, gave us too much respect and tried to keep it tight rather than having a go until it was too late. Hopefully Derby can keep Lampard and use the loan market well and have another good crack at it. With Fulham keeping Scot Parker, Huddersfield looking quite poor I think only Cardiff will be massively dangerous from the relegated sides. Add in West Brom who should be top 6, Leeds again if the mad professor stays, maybe Bristol City and a couple more, but no reason Derby won't be in that top 6.

It was understandable really. When you lose to a team 3-0 and 4-0 in the season, its natural to want to curb your attacking instincts.

Derby's a great club with a proud history. Best of luck best season, hope you get yourselves back where you belong.

I’m just glad they knocked Leeds out and gave themselves a shot

View from a friend of mine who is a Derby fan: "After a 3 hour train journey home standing up all the way and a good night's sleep, I can now say well done Villa. You were the better team and deserve to go up. We even stayed to clap them at the end.Derby would have been eaten alive in the prem. Great day out, drinking in the sun with good mates. All the fans were well behaved and I met some nice friendly villa fans. This is what football should be like. Same again next year. We'd rather be playing Luton away on a Tuesday night anyway 🤣."

[PeterWithe]

Credit where due, all the Derby fans we chatted with were friendly, respectful and not interested in antagonism. As we were to them.

Curious that quite a few said they didn’t want to go up as they weren’t ready for it. Neither are we but £170m can paper over a crack or two.
