What is it like being a Derbyshire fan?

I knew what you were saying overall, child, I was simply saying maybe he's lying back smugly thinking "Oh.... I can bash one out because Forest are well down there and the mighty Rams are well up there" as you are the other way.

Because I may well have misconstrued: "As has been said, it's bad enough but for supporting Derby County as well." But that to me alludes that Derby Co. as well as Derbyshire are sh!tehouse, where relatively speaking, they're one of 20 'elite' for the time being.

p.s. yeah, blame the manager as you were ripping up trees before he came.

It's not one bad manager, it's a succession of inept managers. David Platt was the worst, signing his no-name friends from Italy for millions of pounds who in turn proved they were completely out of their depth. Calderwood is a nice bloke, a good scout, but sticks to one tactic in as ruthless a manner as a poor player of Championship (or rather, Football) Manager.

The dig at Derby was because they're sheep-shagging so-and-sos rather than a bad team. I'd swap positions in a heartbeat. But balanced out as a Notts and Forest fan, I'm pretty happy with life overall. Derby and Derbyshire fans have to get used to losing, losing, oh..and losing. Probably be the same for Nottinghamshire next year if we don't sign a few penetrative seamers (Broad aside).

When only the sight of Davey Houghten commenting on some thrid rate Pro40 game brings about a slight erection. When you yearn for the days of watching Dominic Cork trundle in like a cocky tart?

Should Derbyshire fans kill themselves?

I assume that the single 'no' vote was actually a vote for Derbyshire fans to kill each other.

Darbishite.

Got a horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach that I'm going to know what it's like to a be a Direbyshire supporter before the 2010 season is very old

Can anyone answer this question?

I wrecked Chiv. Think maybe a few more deserved wrecking, considering their snide Kolpak stance. It's evidenced that having more eligible players doesn't breed better players. Cosy positions, cosy views of their own games.

Damn, when did this place undergo a humour bypass? We used to be piss funny once.   

Mebee it was when Lever left?
