Betty Swollocks reacted to Hathersage Ram in Who will be our first signing?
I think you need a reality check, as these first couple of games could give us a head start or continue our spiralling form from last season. Typical nonsense from head in the sand brigade

You forgetting there was 4(?) months of unpaid wages which they have points deductions hanging over them as we do?

Betty Swollocks got a reaction from Carnero in Who will be our first signing?
Surely Jagielka and Davies have to be the 1st signings if we can make any before the Huddersfield game, otherwise Cashin will have to play and he then becomes a player of professional standing meaning it`s one player less that we can sign?

Betty Swollocks reacted to BramcoteRam84 in Who will be our first signing?
If we can get these signings done then I take it as a massive positive because these 8 lads have turned down other offers in some instances because they want to come here and be a part of it. That’s a great start.

Depth is our problem, particularly in defence. These signings will address that and enable us to provide a base for our talented youngsters to flourish. If Rooney signs all 8 I’m expecting us to stay up, I’m even expecting us to threaten the top half if he has anything about him.

Betty Swollocks reacted to MuespachRam in Wayne Rooney
If we sack him we will end up with Jake Buxton as manager….I love Jake, but do I want him as the manager….?

Betty Swollocks reacted to MACKWORTHRAM in Wayne Rooney
Mel been talking to his best mate Jim then.
Wonder if he fancies talking to the fans? I don't mean sitting down with fan groups. I mean every fan.
He should sit down with RamsTV and do an interview to let everyone know what is going on.
I understand he can't talk about a takeover if one is ongoing.
But everything else. He absolutely can.

Betty Swollocks reacted to RoyMac5 in Administration is it the best option now
No, you don't get the implications of admin as GoC said.

Betty Swollocks reacted to Eatonram in Administration is it the best option now
Anyone who thinks administration is the answer I feel does not understand the full implications of this process.

Betty Swollocks reacted to Floppy Sausage in The latest from the club via Chris Coles
Whenever the fans start to get disgruntled and the talk of a protest starts, you always get word from the club like this. It’s just to dampen the flames imo. Same old, same old. They will give some fancy jargon that half the fans can’t understand and then go silent until the next threat of protests. I hope I am wrong, but this seems all too familiar.

Betty Swollocks reacted to Spanish in The latest from the club via Chris Coles
It would be good if the attendees could agree on the questions so there are no repeats and stick to the point in areas where a response should be forthcoming
don't ask questions where answers can be made generically

Betty Swollocks reacted to Angry Ram in The latest from the club via Chris Coles
My hope is that this meeting turns out to be open and fair. If Morris bullshits I would want him challenged, he and Pearce have some real questions to answer but it has to be done in the right way. A bunch of yes men around the table is not going to help.. For the record, I don’t know any of the participants, so have no idea IF they are yes men..
Direct questions, direct answers. Morris bumbling on about how ticket prices not paying the bills when not adding other revenue streams into the equation and not being challenged, pathetic.

Betty Swollocks got a reaction from Wolfie20 in Is this the most depressing period you’ve experienced as a Derby fan?
Nowhere near.
For me the worst time was 1984. Much worse than it is now.
Closely followed by Cloughs last couple of seasons here where he was content with a lower/mid table finish every season and tried to masquerade it as a success

Betty Swollocks reacted to thekingofbuxton in Tom Carroll - Gone Ipswich
Tom Carroll is a quality central midfielder. With all the chat on here about Bird not being good enough I'd have thought most people would be more than happy with this potential addition?
I think he'd be a great addition, it's also positive that players of his quality are interested in joining.

Betty Swollocks reacted to Spanish in It's not 5 it's 4! Choose again.
it is a gamble on when the EFL accept that there is no breach and remove the embargo though. Many seem confident that even when worked traditionally there will be no breach; so why is it taking so long for either the club to produce them or for EFL to take the embargo off if they have already been presented?

Betty Swollocks reacted to Sparkle in Pride Park Goes Cashless
Well based on the amount of older people that tend to be targeted for telephone, text, email etc scams he is absolutely correct to hold that view - wherever the money is thieves will attempt to get at it and with a staggeringly high success rate.

Betty Swollocks got a reaction from swansea ram in Pride Park Goes Cashless
Mine too. He flatly refuses to buy anything online as he thinks he will get scammed and when he goes in shops/pubs etc he wants to pay in cash

Best Home kits for years this one IMO

Are you looking at the right kit? Nothing like last years other than it being white, style is very different

Betty Swollocks reacted to Tamworthram in Come on Derby get our season tickets out
Of course but the post I was replying to was misleading implied you’d still have to buy a ticket which, isn’t really correct unless you want to be really pedantic.

Betty Swollocks reacted to GangwayD in Ravel Morrison - signed 1 year deal
There are a few players who once they find their 'home' then they settle and show the sort of consistent form which meant other clubs originally invested in them.
Sometimes the pieces just fit.
Shouldn't be an expensive gamble and Rooney will obviously know him so lets hope he can polish this diamond.
Cheers
Gangway D from the terrace.

Betty Swollocks reacted to EnigmaRam in Ravel Morrison - signed 1 year deal
I’m not convinced he’d fit in at Derby. Far too many forward passes for my liking. It will never catch on
