Am I allowed to say that it was legitimate absolute scenes? Ended up three rows forward on my back and my leg being trampled on by a stampede of bodies everywhere. Complete carnage.
I was in the shower yesterday morning - trying to work out where I'd skinned my right shin! It didn't even hurt at the time, thanks to the adrenalin and a couple of pints.
It's 106 miles to Portman Road, we've got a full tank of gas, half a round of Port Salut, it's dark... and we're wearing blue tinted sunglasses.
The first goal was incredible and not seen scenes even close to that since Smith / Chambers / Knudsen at Norwich (take your pick).
However, the second goal made the first one look like a bit of 1960's light applause. Bodies everywhere. I have a bruise the size of a football on my left thigh. No idea how as I stayed in place but everyone around me seemed to go flying.
Given the disallowed goal, the referee missing things and the sense we'd possibly concede, that was the moment we knew we'd won and the scenes were like nothing I can remember.
As ridiculous as it sounds to those who were not there, I haven't seen that level of absolute delirium, not even at Norwich. I genuinely struggled to think of anything that came close in the 35 years I have been going away.
And the noise Saturday. There was a bit either side of the Derby fans remembering they had voices (they were pretty decent thereafter) where the noise from our fans was as loud as I can recall. It was like this mad collective realisation of everyone that this could be our year.

The only thing I've experienced which was close was the Liverpool away game when Johnson scored with his diving header. I ended up three rows down hugging a bloke I'd never met before.

Thought that we were really loud on Saturday - loudest I've known for a while and there was a lot of posturing between the fans close to each other, which I've kinda missed the last few seasons.
Anyhoo, popped on that twitter yesterday and some Derby simpleton (backed up by those around him apparently) reckoned we only started singing on the second goal and Plymouth were much louder..
Please note: prior to hitting the post button, I've double checked for anything that could be construed as "Anti Semitic" and to the best of my knowledge it isn't. Anything deemed to be of a Xenophobic nature is therefore purely accidental or down to your own misconstruing.

We were quiet for the last 20 minutes of the first half when Derby had their best spell, probably nerves.
But at other times were we very loud indeed.
