BucksRam reacted to CBRammette in The Mods
Just time out to thank the Mods at this time. Cant imagine how difficult it must be to keep on top of the volume of posts also at a time when feelings are running high. Think we'd all be lost without this forum so thank you

I don't think you're being a bit thick, that's how I read it hence why everyone went into that meeting so confident and we were all flying along on a cloud of positivity following Rooney's presser, only to wake up the next morning in complete disbelief.
Either that, or we're both a bit thick ?

BucksRam got a reaction from Ram-Alf in The Administration Thread
I remember it well - difference here is things have escalated and the fact their rules are, in effect AGAINST the law is the issue. It's like me being pulled over for jumping a red light and telling the friendly officer that, "ah yes, you say I broke the law but my policy is that if I can see the road's clear and there's no-one coming I can drive through". Same if they changed the speed limit on a road from 40 to 30 yet I still did 40 but got caught for speeding. "Sorry officer, I haven't got used to driving at 30 here as it was always 40" Stupid examples maybe but same principle. Would the policeman accept my responses - of course he wouldn't. I've broken the law. Ignorance of the law is no defence.

I agree and that's the crux. It's the law of the land and as such the EFL must, in my view be compliant. If I read this all right, they're not so should be held to account. They can apply their own rules about how clubs are run etc, (to a degree of course but that's a whole different topic re victimisation, inconsistency, independent regulation etc) but where their rules / processes breach UK law then they must be pulled up for it. No organisation should be above the law. If you don't comply with law, then you get fined or have any license to operate revoked.

BucksRam reacted to SecretDave in A call to action
I contacted Central News about the situation on Friday. They have just emailed me back and have said they're aware of the situation and are planning on covering the story tomorrow. They might be phoning me if they do. Hopefully from there, we can get this national.

How Rooney makes a point of congratulating Festy. Understands how to make them feel valued. It's no wonder he gets so much out of them.

BucksRam reacted to Carl Sagan in Petition to the Sports Minister
Someone called Adam Boddington (very possibly on here) has created a petition asking for the Sports Minister to look at the situation between Derby, Middlesbrough and Wycombe. The EFL is mentioned in the petition title:
https://www.change.org/p/sports-minister-for-england-sports-minister-to-look-into-the-ongoing-situation-between-the-efl-Derby-county
Well done Adam for starting something off.

Sat here in bits again. My dad is really really ill and his bad days seem to coincide with bad news Derby days. He is Derby through and through and I'm not sure he understands or is aware of the off the field stuff now but I know later watching those goals on Quest with him how he will light up as little else makes him do now. That is why we have to save our club. It is not about amortisation, stadium sales, law suits, points deductions, etc. it is about watching those goals with my dementia-ridden dad and seeing his happiness for a few minutes later knowing we're off the bottom. The wonder of dementia is he will have forgotten tomorrow so we can do it all again several times. So duck the EFL, Morris, Gibson and the nobody chancer from Wycombe. We are better people than all of you and how dare you threaten the existence of our Derby family.

Rooney absolutely brimming with pride in his lads and desperately trying not to smile ?
Gotta say that for all the madness surrounding this club, this has been my favourite season in fookin years. Our kids playing with the same ferocity and passion as the battle hardened old warriors. Things you love to see! ?

I’ll add what a manager. He could have walked anytime. WAYNE ROONEY IS A RAM
