Ramant62 got a reaction from Rammeister in Josh Vickers
My wife passed away at the end of January from a very rare blood cancer. I cant describe the pain and heartache i feel every single day, and the massive void she has left in our lives will never be filled. I can understand exactly how you must be feeling at this moment, i too have been there, so make sure you tap into the help and support available to you from friends, family and those at DCFC. God bless you Josh and keep strong.

Ramant62 got a reaction from SKRam in Derby v Cambridge Match Thread
Im coming up for this one. Think he has to keep the same starting eleven just for continuity. A good home performance in the league just for once will help us to turn that corner, and a win would breed no end of confidence. COYR

I lost my wife to cancer 4 years ago.
There are no words for the pain. No map out of the dark. You just keep putting one foot in front of the other, and by tiny degrees it eases. The gaps between episodes of despair get fractionally wider.
In my experience, masses of support from all around are 10% of the battle. 90% is having a reason to carry on. I had two teenagers. I suspect football may be vital for Josh in that regard.
Sending him love.

Ramant62 reacted to Kernow in Summer Rumour Mill
Appreciate your work this summer BT. As we often see on Deadline Day, things can change quickly and well established journalists can post information that doesn't actually turn in to anything. Alan Nixon has made a career out of it.
If I was "ITK" in any way, whether that was because I worked for the Club, or my mate was a photographer, I wouldn't post about it on here. People come for information and take digs when it doesn't happen.
You can't win 'em all, but I'm still part of the fan club.

I would like to say I’ve proven myself to be pretty spot on a lot of times this summer. It’s your choice to listen or not but all these snarky comments that I’m receiving are not really needed when all I’m doing is passing on information that I’m told.

Better than Liverpool's keeper - I don't think they had much of a choice with him.
And looks like the ref wasn't one to pander to either.

Ramant62 reacted to Rev in In defence of Paul Warne.
I like Paul Warne and his staff, as people.
From what I can tell, they're a decent, honest and principled bunch.
I believe that's what attracted David Clowes to them in the first instance, alongside their record of success in League One.
I'll also add that they saw those principles reflected in David Clowes, hence their decision to come on board.
From the start it was referenced by all parties the entire ethos of the club needed changing, and rebuilding work was needed from top to bottom, which is not the work of a moment, or indeed a few months.
The backroom staff had been hollowed out to the bare minimum, across multiple departments.
A review of the remaining staff saw several leave, and a new round of recruitment has taken place, building the club back up to operating strength across the board, from the casual staff,offices and the football support and academy roles, a process that is still ongoing.
That's not a normal issue that an incoming manager has to grapple with, rebuilding the back room to what it should be, while ensuring his requirements are met. We've seen a level of churn across the Academy management in that time, which must have demanded Warnes attention at various stages, in addition to the normal commitments management brings.
We've an owner learning about operating a football club, having taken over in sheer desperation, leaning on the manager he's appointed I presume, there seems to be no other football experts within his team we know of.
None of this is normal for a first team football manager, especially in his first job away from a much smaller club with different expectations, so mistakes and stumbles will inevitably happen.
We got close enough last season that there were few grumbles about his position, yet after only two games, one in the league, there's a sizable minority calling for change, and a notable shift in how he's perceived.
I'm not a natural defender of Warne, but will stand up for his work so far.
I'm a self confessed football snob, and don't see him as the man to lead us back to the promised land of the Premier League, probably based around pre conceptions of his football philosophy rather than any evidence, but he's Clowes choice to launch that journey, and some of the criticism on here recently is well out of kilter with the job he's done so far.

Ramant62 reacted to MackworthRamIsGod in Ryan Woods - gone Bristol Rovers
Times have changed. Back in late 90s and early 00s I would know every single player from every single premier league club, thanks to sticker albums, match of the day, football focus,;football italia on TV...etc etc.
Now I'm ashamed to say, j would struggle to name more than 10 players who play for England and 10 is pushing it. If it isn't derby I ain't interested any more.

Ramant62 reacted to May Contain Nuts in David Clowes 👏
Oh David Clowes
If he wore a blouse
Even the bigots wouldn't care
Because he saved Derby County
He could wear one anywhere.
