    You’ve every right to your opinion, especially if you’re paying his wages, how much is he on by the way.😂

    Dai Capp reacted to Somersall Ram in James Collins   
    In you’re opinion. Most fans seem to be on my wavelength. He isn’t a target man. Doesn’t win much in the air. Isn’t quick and first touch not great. I for one do not like paying substantial wages for someone who takes up valuable resources of our club. You have you’re opinion and I just injected a little humour to express my opinion

    Thankfully, your posts are never representive of the majority of views on here, so probably fairly safe to assume you are wrong. If the crowd were all like you, they would be ridiculed up and down the land.

    Dai Capp reacted to Dave Mackay Ate My Hamster in Entitlement   
    I'm quite concerned at some fans over-reaction to our first two results of the season.
    "Yes, we nearly went out of business, blah, blah, blah" some say "but that doesn't excuse everything", but I do see the same old sense of entitlement many of our fans exhibit, thinking we're too big for this league.
    We're NOT as this precise moment in our history. The rebuild won't be as quick as the Harry Enfield character shouting "28,000 crowds" in a "loadsamoney" fashion. 
    We're under financial restrictions which non of us are privy to.
    Just rein it in for now. Allow the manager and team to develop and work out the myriad challenges that we need to wade through this season to get us where we need to be.
    Remember Cloughie's first games and our renaissance post Igor. Success doesn't come quickly or easily.
    It's a graft. We've not started as we wanted. But it's just ONE league game. There's 20 odd pages discussing whether Warne is on borrowed time!
    Reality check. Please!

    ......... and some fans think that every player who signs for another club were players Derby wanted but failed to attract.
    Hilarious!

    I'm pretty sure that Warne and the Recruitment Staff are capable are focussing on more than one target at a time.
    The fact we haven't got a striker in yet and the rumours that Billy Sharpe is now considering a move to the US as more money is on offer highlights our predicament - we haven't got 500k to splash on a striker and what few strikers that have moved for nominal fees have probably had better offers (financially and/or locationally) elsewhere.
    Just because we haven't got one in yet, doesn't mean we haven't put  as much effort into it as recruiting for other positions.

    The away kit is brilliant. Nice rework of the 88 kit with the warped squares symbolic of a bulging net. It's sensational. I'll be buying it. And I'll look beautiful in it.

    Dai Capp reacted to On the Ram Page in Toxic   
    I read a couple of headlines from Derbyshire Live this morning:
    "Nigel Clough wades in on Derby County struggles ahead of Crunch Clash"
    "David Clowes sent Derby County transfer message by 'uber-paranoid' Paul Warne"
    These are just sensationalist headlines for what purpose? Nigel Clough certainly didn't "wade" in and I am sure Paul Warne speaks with David Clowes on an almost daily basis and he is fully aware of Derby's requirements in the transfer window. 
    Although in my 70s, I do try to keep up with technology as far as I can. I can't help but think that we are starting to live in a pretty toxic society, where many people want to voice their opinions about all sorts of topics and people on the Social Media. I have no problem with that per se, provided the opinions are based on fact or reasonable assumptions. I have no time for people who just seek sensationalism, winding people up or make hurtful, personal comments about others. I am happy for criticism of actual behaviour but not personal character assassination. Just imagine how you would feel if it was you who was the subject of these comments. You don't know the effect such comments can have on people -suicide, mental health issues or maybe just want a transfer away!
    This Forum has voiced a few of those after the first couple of games of the season. There should be criticism of the team's and  individual's performances but please let's avoid personal, sensitive comments especially when these cannot be backed up with hard facts.
    "Kane Wilson couldn't cross a road"  "scariest thing is we have bought two central defender who can't play football" "I guarantee Waghorn would have missed Wigan's first goal" "can stick his f****** why all up his arse" "Bird is more sparrow than golden eagle. An exhibition player not willing to break sweat. I'll drive him to Hull myself" "We've got a pub team manager in charge of a jugganaught" "Bradley has the mobility of a superglued traffic cone"
    These were from just 2 posts on the Forum.
    I'm not a prude but can we just think about what we are writing about and to other individuals. Hopefully, we all want all our players and staff to bring success to the Club - so lets show our support.

    As useless as that fact is, I strongly suspect it will prove to be the only fact stated within this thread, as the rest of it is going to be very heavily influenced by supposition and speculation!  👀

    Dai Capp reacted to TINMANTED in Martyn Waghorn - signed a 1-year deal   
    Waghorns heart obviously isn't in this,so not going to be fully committed. A waste of a wage in my opinion we already have one slow useless striker,why waste what limited resources we have on another.warne is going totally against what he said,he said we needed ,he said we needed a younger pacey goal scorer and we get another ageing slug,rapidly getting tired of listening to Warnes waffle

    Dai Capp got a reaction from oodledoodle in Derby County x Molson Coors Partnership   
    That takes me back to Preston away a few seasons ago when some 'lad' decided to do that all over the bloke stood behind me. Needless to say it didn't end well for the 'lad', his mates or the poor stewards who had to deal with the mess!

    https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/sport/sheffield-united-striker-billy-sharp-argues-with-derby-fans-outside-ground-b2189587.html
    Over the last ten years or so Derby fans have;
    Falsely accused and repeatedly chanted about/at him being a sex offender, paedo and rapist. "She said no Billy...she said no", "Derby boys are on a bender, Billy Sharp is a sex offender" and "Paedo paedo paedo". These were even sung on Saturday without him on the pitch or even playing for them anymore.
    Openly mocked him for his baby son dying on social media and aimed similar themed chants at him. This, despite the club wearing black armbands for his family grieving and Sharp thanking the club. 
    Taken any chance to send abusive messages to him on social media (see recent tweet examples), and in the open (see video) due to his dislike of the two above points.
    He's well within his rights to dislike this and give back. I'm sure 99% of people if given the same torrent of abuse he's had off a loud but small minority here for many years, would react similarly as he has. To hate him as he simply has human feelings is quite harsh.

    Genuinely, why do you feel that way about Sharp?
    Is it his displeasure/reactions to the hate (due to fake accusations) and disgusting things consistently said about him?

    It's pretty obvious Warne couldn't attract a moth to a light. We're the biggest team in this League but have been reduced to scrabbling about in the dirt for castoffs. Pathetic state of affairs

    Dai Capp reacted to Raich Carter in Wayna Marcal-Madividua   
    I'll stick my neck out and say that a League One club on a tight budget, lead by a manager known for signing strong characters with proven track records won't spend (perhaps) 50% of his transfer budget on a young, unproven loanee. If this lad was good enough to justify that sort of fee, he wouldn't be loaned out to L1... 
    However, if the £150k is wages (I.E. it's all in) then perhaps, as that works out to circa about £3k pw, it's a possibility but I don't see us paying significant loan fees.

    Dai Capp reacted to StockholmRam in Pre-Season Friendlies 2023/24   
    Help me here.
    Myself and many others who live abroad or cant get to games pay a substantial monthly subscription to Rams TV. I dont shut mine down in the close season. I continue to pay even though there are no games to watch for a couple of months. Have done this since RamsTV and showing live games started however many years ago that was. 
     
    Im far from being wealthy so its quite a large amount from my monthly income whats left over.
    So… am I on my own thinking its very cheeky asking for extra money to watch pre season friendlies like today? A fiver isnt much to many but I think this is a bit of a misstep from the club.
