    Need to wait for the report, if we ever get it.
    It's the first year and there have been 3 procedural issues already so clearly some submission elements are open to interpretation and clarification.
    I note the rabid fanboiism on here with some posters.
     
    I wonder, if the breach was Mercs, how different some of these posts would be. A lot I would think, and far more forgiving.

    There was a fairly long period when Merc seemed to get their own way a lot, the FIA have always been prone to it.
     
    I was spoofing the very reductive twitter wars between LH and Max fans.
    The reactions of Mercedes and Ferrari do seem to suggest they were trying harder to be compliant.
    And for the record, I absolutly love Lewis Hamilton, from his raw brilliance at the start of career, through the switch to mercedes, through to becoming an all time great.

    Nothing to see here, in terms of performance anyway.
    Unless, of course, you are a dyed-in-the-wool TeamLH fanboi

    And so it transpires that the claims made by Binotto and Wolff were not such heinous defamations after all. Well colour me shocked! I assume that the extra five days were afforded to Red Bull & AM to allow them to do their prep again and this time submit documents that would not incur a point deduction or worse. 
    So.... Effectively, Red Bull, a team awash with money, have breached the budget cap and in doing so secured not one, but two RWCs. They will likely now have to pay a paltry fine and another whitewash is completed. I'm sure they feel suitably chastened! ?

    ColonelBlimp got a reaction from Reggie Greenwood in Our "Why Wall"...   
    Born in Ilford, moved to Waterlooville when 2 then to Luton from 6 -10.
    At Luton became aware of football and started supporting Derby, not really sure why but the school was call Ramridge. This would have been 1976 because the first match I recall was the the FA Cup semi.
    Moved to Southampton (10-18, watched a lot of games at The Dell) then Bognor Regis, then Worthing (watched a lot of games at the Goldstone) and finally, at the age of 51 I moved to Derby, hurrah!!

    ColonelBlimp reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    I’m massively impressed by how he spoke during the presser, sounds likeable, relatable, open and honest. Spoke in realistic and pragmatic terms about the club, the squad and the league, especially pleased to hear him address some of the public concerns raised around playing style (“when you have footballers you play football, athletes you play to their strengths, we’ve got footballers who will soon realise how good they are as athletes too” a bit paraphrased there ?) and his post match comments when we stayed up (it was an emotional moment for him as his mate was relegated).
    I also admire his honesty about the Rosenior situation, more realism in that he acknowledged LR’s good work and talent but that it would have been unworkable for him to stay on the staff. 
    Most impressive for me though, was the conviction with which he spoke, he knows himself well, knows his team of staff and believes in what he has to say. There were times when LR spoke and said the right things, being so likeable I wanted to believe him, but the conviction was missing in his voice. Warne has that conviction which will hopefully help him succeed with the Rams. Interesting times ?

    I'm getting intrigued now, @Mostyn6, has this revealed your family you didn't know as they had already taken DNA tests and on the database somewhere?
    Also, for everyone that has taken one, have you done it through more than one DNA site to make sure they line up and accurate?

    Not a metal fan generally but some stuff I can relate to.
     
    What I really want to know, what do people see in Def Leppard?  I'm sure they can play their instruments to a high standard but what they play is terrible, at least from when I remember when they became popular back in the day.
    Never understood it, but then I never understood the appeal of Meat Loaf either.

    ColonelBlimp reacted to Alty_Ram in Lee Gregory (again)   
    Yeah, no issue here at all, I'm happy to hear reasonable debate and contributions from oppo fans, just not the foaming hysterical nonsense that we get from Forest, Boro and Leeds and certain Bristol City fans.
    I often check out opposition boards to see what their take was before we play and again after the game. We are all occasionally guilty of seeing things through Rams tinted specs so it's always interesting for example to see who opposition fans think was a threat and it's not always who you think, plus the 'best team to come to <insert random stadium> this year' comments are useful to put our performances in context.

    I'm a bit disappointed in the reactions to @walkleyowl. 
    He's been on here for years, doesn't post on the wind up, and I've  enjoyed his input in that time.
    He's the sort of opposition fan that should be welcomed on the forum.
