    Picked up off X/Twitter. Not a well man by the sound of it.
    Hope he gets sorted out.

    Good Luck @David from someone 8 years down the journey.
    You will have some tough times and social services will drive you mad, but a stable, loving family home is the best gift you can ever give someone.
    They will always appreciate it, even if they don't always show it and don't worry when they say they hate you in 12 years time, they will ask for a lift half an hour later, so it's all good.

    Perfect is stretching it. I think they just expect us to have 1 shot on target in a league 1 match and not put in such abject performances when the players we have are better than the players most in the division have…

    EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Comrade 86 in Reading v Derby match day thread.   
    For balance, my biggest bugbear is that we don't seem to be trying to address the midfield issues and yes, it is frustrating, even for the so-called happy clappers like me. While I'm pleased to see Blackett-Taylor join, I really think we need to be moving heaven and earth to get a dominant midfielder in, but if PW refuses to let the midfield play their game, then would another player even fix the issue? It's a worry, for sure.
    Anyway, I'm not going to climb on his back as there's more than enough doing that already, but I honestly don't see how anything changes unless we address this issue. If we do, I think we'll make the autos comfortably. If we don't, then I'm afraid it'll be the lottery of the play-offs with a team that doesn't always prosper under pressure.

    I know he didnt sign them all but when PW talks about needing to sign players with the right character - what does he mean exactly? As it doesnt seem to be strength and a winning mentality.

    I am just so fed up. There are just so many depressing questions about tonight, I dont know where to start really but as a starter what is going on with Wildsmith?

    Agreed. All heroic. 2000 there even with prospect of an abandoned match but in hindsight that would have been preferable. And in this weather also - safe travels everyone

    EtoileSportiveDeDerby got a reaction from Carl Sagan in Who's using AI?   
    I use it on a daily basis. I’ll PM you to tell you more when I get a few mins .Having been involved in IT for over 30 years, there are in my mind 3 major step changes I have experienced in that time. The move  from corporate only computers to home computers, the internet and then AI. It is that big a thing.
    Anecdote of the day for you. An old neighbour who was involved at the start of IT used to collect copies of Computing or Computer weekly (can’t remember which one). He told me this story about one of the very first copies ran a story which said that the UK would only need something like 3 computers. One for the MOD, one for HMRc and another one some other government office. Nowaday each UK household has more than 3.

    Found out my cousin took his own life today… 
    3 years ago he had a car accident that left him paralysed from the waist down, knew he was struggling with it but not enough to do this. 
     
    RIP Jordan ❤️ having a beer for you tonight mate.

    EtoileSportiveDeDerby reacted to Bob The Badger in Who's using AI?   
    I use ChatGPT and Claude fairly often, and they've come on leaps and bounds when you consider it's only been readily available for 15 months.
    The world is changing massively and rapidly. It's not even possible to predict how things will change with AI in 3 years, never mind for future generations.
    There are few jobs/industries that won't be radically changed or flat-out obliterated this decade.
    I work with coaches and therapists, helping them with their online marketing, and I think their roles will be wiped out before we get to 2030. I'll have retired by then, so for myself, I'm not that worried. Others don't have that luxury.

    As long as there were no big surprises for DC after admin, presumably any Bielik payments etc were known about, surely these numbers are to be expected by the company and prob more importantly the EFL. Presumably they have seen them before publication and are happy in accordance with what they expected coming out of admin and our business plan or cant imagine we would have been able to sign someone on a fee yesterday. 
     
    cements my total admiration for DC and his family as they have gone from running a successful development company on a low key basis and enjoying being normal rams fans (if actually we can ever be normal) to taking all of this 💩on to deal with. Can you imagine the stuff he's had to deal with?  And after all that you have fans moaning about us not signing people, going over snd over the words the poor bloke said on the budget for this year forensically, and how terrible last January's window was, etc.
    the accounts wont tell half the story but to me there are no words to describe what David Clowes and his family did for all of us, the club and the City. I also dont think we know just how close we were to being gone. Also in strange way grateful to Kirchner as if DC had not already been involved with knowledge of what was going on when just buying the stadium, would he have been in a position to act so quickly to save us?

    What we need is for Stephen Pearce to come up with a clever way of accounting for players residual values.

    The ruling class...that's who, Yes they're still among us, Take that turd who runs the Nat West Bank "Sir" Howard Davies saying it's easier to get your foot on the housing ladder today...yep sure is when you earn 100s of 1000s of £s a year.
    Take a look at the cesspit which is called the house of Lords, Full of leeches laughing all the way to the bank just for signing in, A Government that sits in Westminster then hands out monies like confetti in the wind on vanity projects, Gives out loot to friends and families who have just started a new business venture, Dines out on an expense account...all this when the growth industry in food banks has never been so high for those who put these in places of wealth...you couldn't make it up could ya 😡
