Derby win a game! Clan win a trophy!

Wow! Some Saturday's are just the best. You feel like the King of your castle! What a fab day! First of all, we had snow today - it was too wet to do anything with, but we did have about an inch of it! Then, this afternoon Derby County beat Swansea City 2-1 - a shock result for us as Derby haven't won hee-haw for ages and Swansea were second in the league. Daddy was so happy he took Mummy and Lottie and me to Pizza Hut for tea to celebrate. It was great! Then tonight The Braehead Clan have won their first trophy! They won the Aladdin 20/20 Cup beating the Panthers 3 -0 in the last game. 'Mon the Claaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! He didn't take us anywhere for that, but I wouldn't have wanted to go to Pizza Hut twice in one day.
The picture below is an achievement picture too. When Daddy came in from work he was surprised to find that whilst Mummy had been upstairs putting Lottie in her bed, I had got my stool, gone to the fridge and poured myself a drink of juice, a mix of orange and apple - and I didn't spill a drop! Well, I didn't spill any at the time of pouring, however, five minutes after this photo was taken I had a little accident and spilled most of the juice everywhere- oops! I just missed the top of the sideboard and it was too late! Daddy was on the phone to Grandpa at the time, but Mummy and Daddy don't get angry at accidents - they only get cross when I spill my juice on purpose!

Sports Results - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

The Good: Last Friday night Daddy and Liam went to see the Braehead Clan who won 5-1 against the Dundee Stars. They were both very excited.
The Bad: No phone call last Saturday from Grandpa confirmed that Derby County hadn't done good and had lost 2-0 against Millwall.
And The Ugly: Last Sunday night the Clan won 6-4 at Edinburgh Capitals. This is a good result, but 'ugly' because Daddy umm-ed and arr-ed about whether he should go and then decided not too - bad choice Daddy!

Football Results! (Again)

Grandpa rang Daddy late last night and it was once again because the football was good! Derby won again last night beating Doncaster 3-2 at Keepmoat. We are now up to 7th in the league. We have a tough couple of games coming up though against Millwall and Watford - I hope we can keep winning!

Football Results!

Yeah! Another great win for my super Derby County! Yesterday, Derby won 3-1 against Preston North End (Which is the same score line as Nottingham Forest lost by). We are on a good little run picking up 10 points out of 12! We are now only 4 points off a play-off place and at the same time only 4 points off relegation - what a great league we play in - better than the Premiership any day!
We also have a new team in our house. We now support the Braehead Clan - our local Ice-hockey team. They have been newly formed this season and Daddy and Liam went to see them last Wednesday night. Sadly they lost to 5-2 to the Nottingham Panthers, but Liam was still excited as he came home with 3 ice-hockey pucks that had been fired off the ice! Auntie Love-Leigh is a hockey fan too so I'm going to watch them when I'm older! Come on the Rams! 'Mon the Clan!

Football Results

Derby County Tops 3 Forest Tops 0! Derby played Swansea on Saturday and it finished goal-less. I think this is a good result for us and Daddy and Grandpa were happy enough with it too. Grandpa was happier with his new Derby top that we got him for his birthday though - I hope it becomes his lucky footy top!

Football Results

Yeah! Saturday was a great day for football. Derby County beat Crystal Palace 5-0! Daddy was not excited though as he was sleeping most of the day Saturday after being asked to work the night-shift. Grandpa was excited though, as he rang Daddy on the way home from the match. Grandpa only telephones Daddy after the game if it's been really good or really bad. May be this will be our turning point of the season? Come on Derby!

Football Results

Yeah! Yesterday was the start of a brand new footy season. I like the start of a new season, when my team are joint top and my goalie hasn't conceded. Yesterday was great too as Derby were on the telly! First match of the season and Derby County were away to Leeds and we won 2-1! Is this going to be our year? - Probably not!

Football Surprises and Play Days

I haven't commented much about football this year as it's not really been a season to remember, but I love football because when you don't expect it - it gives you a big surprise. Derby County gave me a big surprise on Saturday. We were playing our local rivals Nottingham Forest, who are doing very well at the moment and are second in the league whilst we are eighteenth. Daddy felt sick on Saturday because he thought Derby would get gubbed, but to our surprise Derby County beat Forest 1-0. Daddy was so happy and so was I. We clapped and shouted in the car when we heard the news on the radio.
On Saturday afternoon I then went swimming with Daddy and then had a mixed grill for my dinner.
My Mummy was working all weekend so on Sunday i got to play with Daddy too. We went to a church in the morning and then chilled out in the afternoon and watched the Man Utd and Arsenal game.

Today, my Daddy was working but Mummy was free to play. We went to Parents and Toddlers in the morning and then this afternoon I went to 'Funky Monkeys' which is another adventure play place with lots of slides. I had a lovely time, but I was very tired and needed to sleep when I got home. Hmmm. I wonder what I'm doing tomorrow.

Football Results

My football teams are too depressing. I've had enough of this season so I've decided not to post anymore results until next season. Roll on 2009/10 - the year Derby County and Albion Rovers will taste success!

Football Results

Uncle Chris (N) says that Derby "played pants". We could only manage a goal-less draw against Barnsley!

Derby 0 - Barnsley 0

Some days football is just not that exciting - it's still football though and I love it!

Football Results

I've missed a few results, good and bad, but the only way I can describe yesterday is ugly!

Derby County lost 4-2 to Sheffield United - the defending was not pretty at all - I saw it on TV this morning.

We are now 17th in the league. Other news of interest - Burnley notched up their highest win in nearly ten years - a 5-0 win against Forest!

My first real-life football match!

Last night Daddy and Uncle Gordon took me to my first real-life proper football match! I've got the T-shirt and everything! We went to see our local team Albion Rovers beat Elgin 2-1! It was great, although I did get a little upset when everyone shouted when we scored. A lovely lady there said that she would knit me a yellow and red hat and she gave me some angel cake. Daddy and Uncle Gordon went last Saturday to check it out before they took me. You can see them in the crowd in the photo below! I've decided that I'll start my career at Albion Rovers, move to Derby County and then Daddy says play for England and Mummy says play for Scotland! Come on the Rams! Come on the wee Rovers!

Football Results

I like Wednesday night football. The football results were: Derby County 4 - Blackpool 1 and to make the night even better Ipswich 2 - Nottingham Forest 1! We're moving in the right direction and that four wins in a row now.

Come on you Rams!

Football Results

I don't have a picture to explain quite how I feel. My "perfect day" of my Dedication did have one hic-cup. Derby County were playing Manchester Utd at Pride Park whilst my Dedication Service was happening. We lost 4-1. On the bright-side, we are still the only team to score against Man U recently as no-one in the Premiership has done that in 14 games. It doesn't make me feel much better as we still lost 4-1.


I need to end on a cheerier note, so here's a bit of football trivia. Forfar play at a ground called Station Park, which happens to be the football ground furthest away from any train station.

Football Results

Here is Saturday's football result. Derby County 3 - Plymouth Argyle 0! I can't believe that we won 3 - nil away from home. It's our third win this week and finally we are moving in the right direction - up the league table. We are now 16th - I'll be happy if we are there at the end of the season. Bring on Man U!

Football Results

YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!

DERBY COUNTY FC ARE THE BEST TEAM EVER!

Last night we had to play our big rivals Nottingham Forest in a replay of a FA Cup game. We went two goals down in 15 minutes at the City Ground but then came back to win 3-2. Final score: Derby County 3 - Nottingham Forest 2. Daddy says that we went two goals down on purpose - it's called "giving them a head-start"! We now play Man U again, but I think I'm in trouble with my family down south. The game against Man U is on Sunday 15th February - the same day as my dedication service. I think kick off is at 3pm and the service is at 4.30pm! Oops! I hope they all don't come down with mystery 48hr illnesses.

Football Results

Here is last Saturday's footy result.

Derby County 2 Coventry 1

We won, for the first time in what seems like ages. We're back up to 18th in the league. We've also have got a new player - Porter, a striker from Motherwell. It's upset Uncle Gordon, who is a Motherwell fan, as he says Porter is a good player. He has scored 27 goals in 18 months for them.

Come on Derby!

Football Results

Friday night football was Cup Football and the draw had us playing our big rivals Nottingham Forest. Despite scoring first the game ended as a draw. Derby County 1 Nottingham Forest 1 and will be replayed later at The City Ground. Grandpa doesn't think we'll beat Forest there - I do hope he's wrong as we'll play them twice in a two weeks now!

Football Results

Manchester Utd 4 (4) Derby County 2 (3)

We were beaten last night 4-2 by Man Utd, which meant that the score was 4-3 on aggregate, which means no trip to Wembley this year. You might be thinking that I should have posted my sad face, but I'm really proud of my team for reaching their first semi-final in 40-odd years and for putting up a good fight. Man Utd have gone 10 games in a row in The Premiership without letting in a goal, and in two games , we scored 3 past them!

Come on you Rams! We need to beat The Forest on Friday!

Football Results

I have a new set of photos for the posts on Football Results. They are of me in my DCFC trackie top. I felt the other photos were a bit out dated now. This is the photo I want to use least - it's the sad me - the photo when Derby County lose. However, in the first have of the season the "sad" photo was used most. Yesterday Derby lost again 2-0 at home to QPR with very poor defending. We've slipped to 20th in the league - two places now behind Nottingham Forest. This is a big week for us. I hope I'm posting the other photos. I'll settle for a 0-0 draw against Man Utd and a win against Forest on Friday! Come on you Rams!
