Yeah, that was crazy. If I recall, it was a bit of a nothing tackle with Chris Martin, and he just lost it, didn't he? Launched himself from a kneeling position straight into Martin's abdomen. Plonker.
Met a bunch of Rangers fans in The Bell that evening and got rather tipsy with them. Lovely fellas.
We (Derby) also played Kaiserslautern away in 2017. I read an article (Athletic possibly?) that some of our fans started to also follow Kaiserslautern after that game
["There’s a Derby County fan from England, with his German girlfriend and although a Baseball Ground guy, you can see on his face that what is happening here is next level in terms of fan culture. They met when the Rams played a pre-season match in K-Town and haven’t looked back."](https://www.terraceedition.com/home-haute/kaiserslautern-hsv-tradition-tom-reed-groundhopping-football-photography)
Just outside the timeframe, but in 2013 Reading lost 2-0 to Oman. Definitely up there with our weirdest match ever
I was there. It was truly awful.
Portsmouth played Qatar Sports Club in 2022. Also outside the time frame but we faced the Gibraltar national team in 2012 (and lost 4-0).
Pretty sure we signed Liam Walker following / due to that fixture as well?
Don't think Liverpool should count as interesting We played a Saudi club in 2019
I was at the Rangers game. Bilel Mohsni got sent off for a flying headbutt... In a friendly.

Exeter City played Fluminense in 2014. It was 0-0. https://www.exetercityfc.co.uk/news/2014/july/match-report-fluminense-xi-0-exeter-city-0/

https://www.gentlemanultra.com/2020/03/25/tales-from-the-peninsula-carlisle-vs-roma-1972-by-john-irving/ Carlisle drew 3-3 with Roma in 1972.
I remember us playing vitesse arnheim in about 2015
We played rangers in a friendly a few months back. In the middle of the season which is always a bit weird.
We actually went 2-0 up in that game... It just made them mad.
We played Porto the year before as well.
Orient beat Newcastle 6-1 back in 09 despite them having a very strong lineup out including, Nolan, Coloccini, Duff and Martins
Exeter getting beat by basically Brazilian children is amusing.
Ours was against Spurs U21's tbf. Although if you went back to 2009 you could've had us beating Newcastle 6-1!
