To anyone going to Boro, we don't need songs about anyone dying or being a sex offender. We don't need any violence of any kind. The club doesn't need any more bad press. Be loud and be proud. The tide might just be turning. 🐑
I met
@TomLawrence99
and
@NathanByrne_
last night in Angelo's, Duffield. I was worse for wear but the pair of them had plenty of time for me. They are both Rams to the core, committed to the cause and up for the fight. Its a shit situation but we will come out on top 🐑
My Granny is 92 and has lived with dementia for the past 5yrs. Two weeks ago she tested positive for Covid. Today we found out she is now Covid free. Some lady my Granny ❤
One of football's founder members, Derby County, is at the door of extinction, and yet it's still ignored by the national press. Meanwhile
@SkySportsNews
continue to speculate and link their manager Wayne Rooney with the vacant Everton job. Unbelievable.
Confession time. Just before they equalised Charlton were 33/1 to win. I thought we looked vulnerable and put a tenner on. I cashed it out for £208 the second they went in front. If I can see it happening on my sofa in the Isle of Man, why can’t Warne?
If any of my followers would like to go to the game on Sunday and genuinely can't afford to go, I'm happy to pay for two tickets for someone so they can take a child, partner etc. Presumably, you will require a fan ID, but I'm happy to transfer the money over. DM me.
I've not really mentioned the game on Sunday here at home as it's my daughters 13th birthday. This morning, they asked why I wasn't going to the match, and I explained. My daughter said,'Dad, I'll be so annoyed if you don't go to Derby' .... guess the rest. See you Sunday 🐑 🐏
Rooney came straight out and shouldered the blame. Protected the players and commended their commitment. You can't help but admire the way he is approaching the whole situation at Derby. 👏👏👏
Craig Forsyth has been a brilliant servant to Derby County. He has dealt with injuries and occasional criticism like the true pro he is and always bounced back stronger. He was immense today. I'd fly over for his testimonial.
Arrived in Dubai this evening, and for the first half of our trip, we stay with my brother and his family. Just put my case down and was greeted by my mum, who had secretly travelled to see us. Just about got myself together when my sister appeared. She has come in from Perth WA.
After being pulled up at Plumpton today, the decision has been taken to retire Huntsmans Jog. He was the first horse owned by our syndicate, and he got us in the winners (and place) enclosure several times along the way. Big thanks to all who have been involved with him.
@Shuttsapalooza
A pal of mine once managed to scoop the ball off of the roulette table and disappear in to the crowd behind. About an hour later he managed to pop it back in to play so they had two balls fizzing round.
DCFC football weekend starts for me with flight to Birmingham tomorrow morning. Train to Derby, then cab to hotel. To think we nearly didn't have a club. COYR 🐑

It would be fair to say that Rooney is getting the best out of
@TomLawrence99
; he was all over the pitch again tonight. I've been his biggest critic in the past but only because I know what a player he can be. He was wasted out wide; he's a natural No.10
Happy Anniversary to my beautiful wife. Together for 15yrs and married for 8 of them. If she plays her cards right, I might even give out after the football!
Back in 2020 we formed a small syndicate to buy a horse. Over the past 2 seasons we've had plenty of good days with him. On Friday we fulfill a lifetime ambition in having a runner at Cheltenham. C'mon Butch (Huntsmans Jog). Big thanks to

At 5.33am this morning my brother in law took his last breath and grew his wings to fly upstairs. Heaven will become a far more interesting place. R.I.P Martin 💔
By the way, my name is David. I keep bumping into people at Derby games that I only know through Twitter as ManxRam. Afterwards, I realise they've no idea what my real name is. I've lived in the Isle of Man for 20 years but lived in Heanor, Belper, Ilkeston, and Smalley. 🐑 🐏
My dear old Granny became the last of my grandparents to grow her wings last night passing peacefully in her sleep. A wonderfully strong & beautiful lady she and my Grandpa can now look forward to teaming up again high up in the sky at penthouse level! 1928-2021 RIP 🙏 ❤
I can't believe the number of people laughing at Derby's predicament. A football club is the heartbeat of its town or city, it provides people with an escape from their work, day to day problems etc. It's a way of life and ours could be taken from us. Warning, you could be next.
To the bitter individuals moaning about 'why are DCFC allowed to do this' ... we haven't paid a fee for anyone, have a wage cap (new signings) and required an EFL approved business plan to proceed. 🍋🍋🍋
A few weeks ago fans of DCFC were desperate for a sugar daddy to come and rescue the club. A self made billionaire with a track record in delivering sustainable and profitable businesses is rumoured to be interested and people are turning their noses up. Consider the alternative.
Today is my 35th consecutive day without any alcohol. It’s probably the longest I have abstained since I took my first drop many moons ago. Tomorrow I will be enjoying a very decadent lunch with good friends. The gloves and shackles will be well and truly off 🍷
DCFC fans in Liverpool. There have been some really positive moves by the club of late. No need to show a different side of the club by chanting inane or insensitive songs at Anfield. Be class not crass.

I pay just over two grand for 5nts in a beautiful cottage in the Cotswolds. Four of us stay there in absolute comfort for about £110 per night each. Don’t think I’m quite ready to throw that in for a Maersk shipping container just yet.
If you are relegated it's because you weren't good enough over 46 games. I'm not sure many could argue if we slipped down to Division 1. Rooney honeymoon period aside we've been woeful. Can't go relying on other teams to save you. I supported us in Tier 3 before and would again.
The fact that Quantuma entertained that ponzy prick of a man Kirchner for as long as they did, almost killing the club in the process, not only questions their own due diligence process but also their very existence. Paid a fortune to almost be complicit in our demise. Shameful.
Having granted CK preferred bidder status, in fact having invited him back in to the fold after his foray to Preston will Quantuma
@quantuma1
be waiving fees for the period of exclusivity that effectively ruled out all other interested parties for the past couple of months?
Wigan not paid their players wages.
@Shinzzaa
is very much a Warne type player and we could crowd fund his return for a quid each and give them their money back? Exactly the player we need.
#oncearam
We retired this fella, Huntsmans Jog (Butch) at 9 years of age as he wasn't enjoying his races. He is now back with one of the girls who used to look after him.
#StandUpForRacing
Has Mike Ashley actually ever said a single word about wanting to buy DCFC? Those behind mergers and acquisitions rarely conduct their business on social media or discuss it with reporters from The Sun newspaper. Just saying.
@dcfcofficial
The bloke is an absolute breath of fresh air. He deserves 20k season tickets sold based on how he conducts himself. Credit to the club and the county.
Note to Rams fans. You rarely buy a football club on social media. If he wasn't the best man for the job then it's good that admin have identified it. Merry Christmas 🎅
Te Wierik, Bielik, & Marriott to add in to the mix with some exciting youth prospects. Then you have Wisdom, Wags and Lawrence. Its not all bad, we are work in progress and plenty is being made.
It's just dawned on me that as of yesterday I've been on the Isle of Man for 20 years. Arrived here on a two year secondment working for LloydsTSB Bank as was. Far more highs than lows and managed to pocket a wife and two kids along the way.
Goalscoring looks a temporary problem IMO. I've seen enough to know that we are capable of going on a big win streak. Played some lovely football at times.
@piersmorgan
Heres another one Piers. I will post one every time you post one about a right wing thug. I'm not protecting anyone here, just trying to show balance and that there are scum in both camps. You and Lineker are hellbent on showing one side only.
Sunday sorted. Pride Park for noon, few drinks, game, back to Duffield for a few more, then into Angelo's for dinner later on. 3pts will make it a perfect day. There'd better be no issues with planes, trains, and automobiles tomorrow! COYR 🐑 🐏 🐑 🐏
Over 30,000 people will pitch up at Pride Park today to acknowledge the efforts of Derby County in a season where the odds were always stacked against them. Football is all about the fans. We'll be back

Football fans are among the most fickle of people but Rams have every right to vent after that. That was utter garbage for 95mins. A side devoid of ideas and I thought it looked a decent eleven on paper. We need a Shinnie type in the middle and a rapid striker to play off Collins
Morris is a lifelong DCFC fan who tried to fulfil a burning ambition. It didn't work, it rarely does, but I still don't believe he would see the club go to the wall.

T5. Dubai bound tomorrow to see my brother (first time in 2yrs) & family (first time in 4yrs). Apparently its cooling to 35 degrees 😎
They promised snow. My wife is one of those people that the minute it starts has her face pressed against the window. If it gets any worse I'm going to have to let her in!
