    Anyone who doesn’t know the difference between there and their can generally be disregarded in my opinion.
    Are they aware of the general concept of ‘humour’. I suspect they would misinterpret anything to feel good about themselves.

    WoollyJumper reacted to Rich84 in Is Paul Warne the next Nigel Pearson?   
    I think we need to take a step back and look at what we have, asking to play a back 4 when 90% of people were screaming for us to recruit a RB in the summer....
    Guess what - we don't have 1....
    Play 2 CH's which in this division needs pace which with the 5 on the books only Roberts has, and he's inexperienced and plays the same side as Cashin. By necessity we need 3 to make up for lack of pace in the middle.
    Also 4 at the back needs a quality holding midfielder....
    Guess what - we don't have 1.... (don't say Bielik)
    Then LB... what do we do, play an inexperienced CH in Roberts there or Fozzie  another one 90% slag off continually....
    Yeah 4 at the back is the answer.
     
    I also think there are some very short memories,  goal kicks in the 6 yrd box, pointless possession in our own 3rd, we would have been slaughtered last night playing that way, as shown with the goal, 3 players were on that press instantly, hence the rebound was always likely to fall to one of them, we looked ok passing the ball ponderous across the back when we weren't under pressure, and never creates chances as too slow getting forwards.

    Why are we? We were in need of a complete squad overhaul anyway. We will be fine.

    WoollyJumper reacted to David in Please don't go on the pitch tomorrow.   
    There has been social media campaigns to see fans on the pitch. Bringing attention to our dire situation.
    Going on the pitch tomorrow will only hurt the club, as in the staff, management and players.
    Quantuma, EFL, will not have a sleepless night.
    We are in desperate times, I understand, feel the frustration and anger.
    I have created this topic using my own voice, my own thoughts with no communication from anyone at the club in the hope it keeps some fans off the pitch.
    Just one fan, using his own voice asking you all to stop and think.
    There has to be better ways in letting our voices be heard without affecting  the team. 
    So far this season, the one positive we can take is the support for this club, it's been second to none. 
    There is one man tomorrow that deserves that same level of support, one man that does not deserve to see his remaining games abandoned for crowd trouble.
    Wayne Rooney. 
    Come on Derby!

    WoollyJumper reacted to Ram-Alf in Can us fans do anything to help right now   
    Other than supporting on match days there's little to nothing else we can do, Supporters groups are treated as mushrooms, Fans are seen as cash cows, MPs release twitter feeds of no concequence.
    The EFL haven't beaten us, They've certainly written our death throws, The nails in the Coffin were all lined up, Jagielka unable to re-sign, Shinnie moved on were 2 huge nails that were knocked into our Coffin.
    I'm a realist with a little optimism thrown in, Until mathmatically impossible that we can't stay in the Championship then there's hope, I believe the EFL will have a party if we are relegated, It was their plan from the start, Parry, Birch et al have gone above and beyond in their efforts to put road blocks in our way, Once we were looking to make a fist of it things they seemed to have changed, Boro/Wycombe dragged on, Referees conspiracy I don't believe, EFL encouraging the Cheating Mantra imo has had the biggest effect on all in the Championship, We're the boogey man who lives under the bed, We're seen as a club that will get what they believe we deserve.
    It rankles with me and has most of my adult life that oragisations will, Can and do have a very negative impact on peoples lives, Football for many 100s of 1000s of people is an escape from the humdrum of ordinary life...for what ever ordinary life is, There's no tub thumping from me, It's all been down to one person, That one person who gave Hope, Enjoyment, Excitement, Sadness and eventually Despair as this great club of ours is being lead away to the scaffold, Our only escape...24 points to be played for, Untill it's impossible to stay up...then there's hope.

    Everyone wants to hear what's happening with the PB talks, I don't I aint fussed, Q release a statement, Most turn it round to their opinion, Journalists get tipped off, They add a little more meat to the bones, MPs to be fare have highlighted our case, Then complain when they're not at the head of the queue for information, Then go on twitter and make a non statement about a non statement RamsTrust, Black and White Together, Team Derby complain when there's no update.
    I'm waiting for 2 things, Either the announcement of a PB or liquidation, Everything else concerning DCFC and the media is just GUFF!

    WoollyJumper reacted to Mucker1884 in The Administration Thread   
    It goes without saying that this whole sorry mess is far from ideal, but I'm not sure we have any right to info, other than asking "Is the next game still going ahead?", and let's face it, until a game gets postponed, the answer is always going to be "Yes".  Ultimately, that's all we've paid for.
    Yes, some info would be nice (or not!) but I'm loathe to claim we have any right to be kept informed.

    WoollyJumper reacted to TomBustler1884 in The Administration Thread   
    Can I just add that lots of people seem to be making major assumptions that the MPs, business leaders, etc aren't Derby fans, have no idea about what's really going on, are clueless about what the EFL are up to.
    I have no idea about all of them but I know for a fact that some, including the Leader of Derby City Council and MD of Marketing Derby are season ticket holders and well into their football. As are many of the businesses tweeting their support.
    As I said, they will be balancing their personal feelings with the best approach to get a resolution which will be to be measured, non-reactive and calm. The EFL and Quantuma will respond far better to this approach than an all guns blazing rant!
    It might have no effect, it might resolve the issue, but we shouldn't be expecting a detailed interrogation and resolution from one meeting!

    WoollyJumper reacted to angieram in Alan Nixon Breaks Silence on American Billionaire Bid   
    I could re-write that article saying CK is coming over to further demonstrate his commitment to buying the club and to see what he can do to help speed up the process. Nothing factual would have changed but it wouldn't get so much reaction.
    As for him being shocked by what we owe, he had paid his money and would have known the financial situation weeks ago. The only person who is "shocked" (mock outrage) is the "journalist" (hack) who wrote the story.

    WoollyJumper reacted to ilkleyram in Tom Lawrence - Joined Rangers   
    Do you really believe that a group of our first team players are now effectively going to stop trying for 29 matches just so they can get a move elsewhere? I don’t. 
    They’ll make mistakes as they’ve always done, they’ll miss chances, miss tackles, shots and headers and some will move on either in January or the summer, but the character of this squad and individuals within it, including Tom Lawrence and Nathan Byrne, will not be in question. There is nothing that we have seen so far this season to suggest anything else, from players or management team.
