Lets drop this nonsense that one side were more 'virtuous' than the other. There were a few determined anti-Warne trolls that even I found tiresome but equally some pious, holier than thou Warne obsessives who were incapable of answering honest concerns about Warne without deliberately missing the point and/or attacking the poster in a dishonest attempt to discredit arguments.
Not entirely sure why you're taking the bullying suggestion so personally either.

Get him a contract to sign  

It has - but only because it’s given an insight into how great the group of players are. Celebrating with the fans from the final whistle all the way through pubs in town. Genuinely nice blokes happy for themselves, the club and the city. 
 
Compare with other stuff I saw this week with Leicester players celebrating going up by gathering in the safety of one of their mansions and having a few drinks around the kitchen island. Soulless and removed from the fans. 
 
Really shows what Warne has built and hopefully he can keep the spirit even through squad changes over summer. 

I thought Collo was great on this.

I didn't want to start a new thread but we lost another special fan last night. For those who know of Colin Attenborough, or remember a few months ago a message Paul Warne did for him (link below), he passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. I knew Colin by playing Poker with him - a great guy - passionate about the team - and I'm happy he was able to be with us until the promotion was secured. 
RIP Colin.

B4 April 2023…….
Well calling all derby fans to get really really really behind the lads we need get behind the lads lets have wall of noise and have sea of black and white let's have scafs flags and balloons let's cheer lads on.
get behind the lads ✅
wall of noise ✅
sea of black and white  ✅
scafs flags balloons ✅
cheer lads on ✅
……………...I think we did you proud Saturday Dan. 👍

 

It will be.
I still haven't stopped crying myself.
Oh the emotion. I was convinced we were going to lose the football club.
B4 himself struggled with that and not being able to go to matches because of COVID.
Ying and Yang - things will get better and they have - thanks to Clowes rescuing the club and, now, we've been promoted back into the championship as B4 knew would happen.
It's just bitter sweet though because B4 wasn't there in person to see it. 
Someone said on here they're not much for the afterlife, me neither, but B4 lives on in all of us. All those in this community were touched, helped in my own case, by B4's positivity and love of the Rams.
I really miss him. 

My dad loves this pic 🤩

I know this thread was born from an extremely sad place. But the love and positivity that has come from that has been wonderful. It’s my favourite thread on the forum. 
Thank you Daniel 🖤🤍

This is why I love rtv , match commo by people who are invested in the club rather than sky with a commo team that struggle to even get the simplest of facts about the club, players , form ect right ,
you do a great job Owen , thank you 🐏👍

Leeds away would feel like a nice reintroduction to a proper division
Taking the mickey out of their latest choke would amuse & a mere 15 min stroll from my front door too

Sign him up for this alone….
🤣 🍻 

It will probably be Plymouth away, Friday at 8pm.

Will our players have sobered up by the 9th of August?

A big exciting fixture that lets us know we are back in the Championship...
 
 
Preston away

I notice towards this end of this thread that there is still disagreement, some of it quite entrenched, but there is now a degree of civility about the discussions, which is good!
On his arrival, I had concerns but was quite willing to give the guy a chance. After all, he had been somewhat restricted at Rotherham. I was also looking forwards to good times at the start of this season, but was somewhat concerned by our lack of control of matches, and the commensurate lack of actual football. His stubborn insistence on his "one way  to play" approach quite rightly earned him criticism, which peaked at the time of the great rebellion. The football wasn't just dire, it was mostly appalling. And much as many were prepared to put up with it in order to get out of this hell-hole, it was a really tough watch. I was by this time shifting quickly to "Warne Out", simply because it was clear we were capable of a much better level and style of football,  and when we saw glimpses of it, the good results followed. However, although criticism was, I believe, well justified, there was no need for the personal insults which were being thrown around. I may have lobbed a couple in hinting at his apparent lack of coaching and tactical prowess, but that is where it stopped. Form me it didn't reach the level of personal attack, and if I posted anything which could be perceived as such, then I apologise.
But then there seemed a watershed, a turning point. Whether or not the ferocity of the protests triggered or not most of us will never know, but all of a sudden we found Collins in the area when  crosses were being sent in, and the crosses themselves were no longer stratospheric. We also seemed to explore the use of midfield, which for months had been treated by the club as a barren wilderness. And the results started to come. The mood changed, and only changed after matches like Northampton and Wycombe, where we reverted to Warne's original MO. But having seen changes to how we approached games I was critical of going back to what had demonstrably failed several times, but hoped that it was a temporary blip. 
What I have observed, and this is just my opinion, is a maturing and growing by Paul and his team, so given the restrictions which the club still faced right to the end of the season, think he has done a good job. It was good to go into the closing matches expecting a result each time. I still believe that we could have achieved a lot more with a more expansive approach to tactics, but Paul Wane had his view of how to get the job done. He certainly helped his cause with the signings of Nyambe and Adams.
I am confident that in the same way that Paul knew how to get us out of League One, he also knows what will be needed to make us an established top-half Championship club, and am looking forward to seeing how he goes about it.
I am also looking forward to going into the new season on this forum with the new level of civility that we seem to have generated. WE should have a great future together.
COME ON YOU RAMS!

@Archied & @LeedsCityRam love your fellow Rams Fan, we are stronger together……bickering bickering like Ronnie Pickering….we are better than that.
Anyway Liam has a message for you all……
