    Mardarses the lot of em.
    I'm early 60's and have spent the last 35 years in a job where a 150 mile trip to site is local.
    Try getting up at 3 a.m. Monday, flying 1,000 miles to site, then working 50+ hours and flying home Friday afternoon for a month if you want "knackered".

    f*** em! Go on strike, see how much sympathy they get.
    I'm a postman, I walk 10 miles a day, cycle 12 miles a day to get to and from work, get treated like sh*t, and get paid less per year than an average footballer gets paid a week, f*ckin jokers. If they aren't happy stop doing it and find a different job.

    I get some of that but some people have to get up at 5 in the morning 6 days a week so they can pay their bills and I’m sure they don’t have a endless amount of energy either.

    When the crowd were chanting ‘we’re on our way to the premiership’ I said to my dad Daniel would have been the first one singing that. He will be looking down and absolutely loving it 🐏🐏🐏

    Colm reacted to Jourdan in Paul Warne, managers and plan   
    We need investment in the squad. We have spent £2-3 million to stand still. We have taken chances on loan players and free transfers.
    How can we evolve as a team unless we can spend more and attract a better standard of player?

    Colm reacted to Steve Bloomer's Washing in 🔥 New SBW podcast: Josh & Jacko inspire dogged Derby   
    Hey all, we've got a new episode out now as Derby open their Championship account!
     
    The Rams are off and running back in the Championship! As Derby hold out for a gritty 1-0 victory of promotion contenders Middlesbrough, Chris, Blake and RamsTrust's Hilary Leam bask in our 100% home league record, assess the best performers from the Pride Park win, and discuss how much of the single goal victory was down to luck over judgment.
    With Dajaune Brown failing to take his first team chance earlier in the week, we also ask what the future holds for the young striker, we compare Derby's squad value to the giants of the division, and ponder how many points Warne's side can target from their next three games.

    Maz who seems to know stuff because I’m pretty sure he cuts a lot of the players hair. Seems to think Niall Horan is going to be investing in the club. I asked him myself is he dreaming or fact and he reckons fact. Not sure if it’s true but would make sense. A boy whos loved the club since birth wanting to help Clowes out.

    Not the football, this forum! 
    I think that most people come on here to have a 'chat' about the Rams or even football in general but increasingly it reminds me of the old Monty Python sketch, "are you here for the five minute argument or the full half hour".
    Everybody is entitled to post what they want in a manner they chose but after 50 pages of "you're wrong", "no, you're wrong" it just becomes pointless. I know that the idea of these forums is to generate debate, but very little of what happens on here is debate. 
    Take the issue of Paul Warne. To come on here after every game and tell everyone, essentially how rubbish he is and tell everyone where he is going wrong tactically, because you play football manager, or coach you sons under 8s on Darley Park, is just howling at the moon as your theories will never be tested, so they will always be correct in your head
    I doubt anybody on here thinks that Paul Warne is the best manager we've ever had, or even in the top five, but he is our manager and will be until David Clowes decides differently. Ultimately you will have your way and you will be able to say "I told you so" because he will be sacked at some point.
    If you want an idea of sensible debate look at the Mickley Arthur thread on the cricket. There is probably more to be upset about at the cricket club than the Rams but it's all reasoned discussions where people put forward opinions, rather than confrontational statements, aimed at pitting one side against another.

    Colm reacted to StaffsRam in Pre season   
    We're rarely convincing in pre-season. I'd rather get these performances out of the way now rather than at Blackburn.
    Last night highlighted some deficiencies, made it even more obvious where we still need fresh legs, and given the lads another 90 minutes under their belts. 
    The major concern, for me, is that it's clear we still need a few key roles filling and these recruits, when we do bring them in, will need a little time to adapt/integrate. I doubt this is the club's fault, but it's very disappointing that having gone up in May, automatically, that we've not been able to fill these roles already.

    It is, people over pay for the same / less functionality but convince themselves that living inside a constrained ecosystem with devices that are categorically less performant is somehow the way to go just because you get a shiny logo to go with it.
    Sorry, we're still talking about Apple here aren't we?

    Just read on the BBC website that Portsmouth have been charged by the EFL with misconduct ( failing to control their supporters )  It was because of the fans pitch  invasion after the Barnsley match in April  which clinched their promotion  Wondering if we will be charged as well for same reasons   🫣🐏

    Colm reacted to Day in Wayne Rooney   
    Rooney might have athletic body of a darts player, drank his 6 pack and has more chins than Ronaldo, it never held him back, there would never be a player that put more effort in on the pitch.
    @mwram1973 has made some valid points, you only have to look at the house in the video posted earlier in this topic. He has it all, stunning wife, kids, money, he has absolutely no reason to be down Plymouth’s training ground at 9am on Monday morning.
    The guy absolutely loves the game and wants to succeed, I wish him the absolute best and hope that one day he gets to complete his dream and manage United.
    Would be so easier to criticise another man for mistakes which he has made, it’s the English mentality to s*** on others whilst up in our high horses. I wasn’t a multi millionaire at 16, guarantee you if I was, there would have been loads more alcohol, women and the odd gilf, 21 I was and she was 48 😂

    Colm reacted to Crewton in Wayne Rooney   
    Ah yes, of course, he undermined Cocu by deliberately scoring a late free-kick at Norwich that 99% of English footballers would have been incapable of doing to save Cocu's job by giving him our first (and only) win of the season.
    His form and fitness were fading even before that season but to suggest he deliberately undermined Cocu is pure conspiracy nonsense that ignores Rooney's reputation as a dedicated footballer with an incredible will to win.
