I agree. I've been fairly appalled by the negative posting lately. Constructive criticism is fine, and speculation is part of the fun, but slagging players & staff off for the sake of it is a real drag. I get enough negativity in real-life, football is supposed to be an escape!

There's a chunk of fans who think Derby should win 3-0 every week, win every tackle, score with every shot, and it's just not realistic. Back the club, back the players, back the manager. Accept the financial reality.

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. 

We’re all entitled to our view. But at the end of the day i would like to think we all want the rams to win and do well. I’m still hoping we can find a way to turn this round. COYR.

Hey guys sorry not been on a lot lately but the pain been pretty bad lately so been trying to rest as much as I can before season starts but I am 100 percent I can be. So i will be in full voice come saturday. Getting behind the lads as always i do fancy our chances for coming season.
Also see you all at burton peterboro blackpool and Bolton. Once my op done I might be out for a fair while but will be back asp. But not heard anything yet when that will be.

Does anyone know which of these three is the goalkeeper?

I ducking hope Collins scores and shuts up some of the vile, primitive nobs on here that masquerade as fans. Just find someone to hate why don’t you. He scored in The last preseason, he hit double figures last season in a make shift team. He isn’t a genius but he’s a good lad and doesn’t deserve the total garbage coming form some quarters 

Just a reminder, these players were out there playing at midday in the Spanish heatwave just 4 days ago.
Oh, it's also pre season.

Those socks!!
!
 

I don't like clapping for others misfortune.  I didnt like the things said about us so will not cheer for others misfortune

All the misery addicts are out early I see. 

Once a Ram....

Should have used his third leg.

Lovely move by Derby, ended with Sibbo crossing the ball into the box, just missed by NML

We are playing much better than the first 5-10 mins

I just let out a little wee...

Anyway good news is we always play better in the second half .... oh hang on ...

So by Wycombe's logic, Peterborough have a cast iron case for compensation - Reading knowingly overspent, which triggered a suspended 6 point penalty, and which would have kept Peterborough up if it had been fully applied at the time.  And we only finished 7 points behind them, so we arguably have a case too - our last game or 2 were dead rubbers, with us already down, but wouldn't have been if Reading had had -6 points.

Watching on Rams Tv, there is a young lad in the background chanting “come on Derby” over and over again, you have to admire his persistence and passion 👍😂

And we can no longer be relegated!

The diving t**t looks as guilty as sin too. Loved White screaming at him that he is a "f*ing cheat". There should be more of that. 

Blatant dive. 
Commentator as biased as they come.
White didn’t ‘dangle’ his leg. He did the right thing, he plants it short and dives after he’s past it. And even on reply they don’t admit it!!  
 
Roberts absent for the first but that second is infuriatingly cheating. 

What can we do..every week we get an absolute joke of a referee..these league 1 refs are robbing a fkin living..

I’m so fuckin angry

Am I watching sky sports Plymouth - blatant dive??
