    BucksRam got a reaction from Ramarena in Titanic Sub missing   
    Yeah, they sound very dodgy.  Breaking news on the BBC to say that their CEO repeatedly dismissed warnings over the safety of the sub. Soon as I heard that things were allegedly dodgy, I said to the wife I wonder when all the law suits will come out.  Regardless, this is likely the end of OceanGate as a company.

    BucksRam reacted to Srg in Curtis Nelson - joined on a 2 year deal   
    Like the fact that those at 27/28 we've done 3 years but Nelson at 30 is only 2 years. Smart.

    New contracts on the table for: 
    - Wildsmith
    - Cashin
    - Bird
    - Rooney
    - Smith
    - NML
    - Knight
    No idea on the length of deals offered 
    Expect Knight to leave, Bielik very close to Brum.

    Seem to be a few people coming out with the "I told you so" story.  That said, it does sound like OceanGate may have been somewhat gung-ho in their approach to deep sea navigation, cashing in on rich adventurers rather than ensuring their sub was fit for purpose. Constant stresses at that depth have a cumulative effect on hull integrity.  A sub that was used to go to the Mariana Trench not long ago, designed to cope with pressures at that depth (nearly 7 miles down), won't ever be used to go that deep again as the owners don't want to risk it. Somewhat telling me thinks.

    BucksRam reacted to Comrade 86 in EFL Cup, Round 1   
    Got a bit of time for their fans. They were very staunch in their support of us when times were darkest for the club. Even when we beat them at their place, they were applauding our lads and singing f*** the EFL with our lot. Good few online were hugely complimentary about our away support too. It was heartwarming and uplifting stuff when it was needed and it won't be forgotten in a hurry.

    BucksRam got a reaction from SKRam in Callum Elder - joined on a 3 year deal   
    Good interview, speaks well - love the the response of "promotion" when asked what we can expect of him.  Must confess don't know much about him, but reading some of the comments here, sounds like he's a decent signing.

    I'll be honest... Don't have a clue about him. All I know is when I was a kid, I was taught you should always respect his family (for some reason)

    BucksRam got a reaction from ramit in New Fan, Looking To Start Conversations About Derby   
    Welcome to the Rams Rollercoaster Jake. It can be a rough ride at times but it's one none of us will ever jump off of - if you check our history, especially the past 3 years or so, despite everything thrown at us, and properly being kicked when we were down, we all stood strong (well, there were a few wobbles to be fair).  You'll honestly not find a more loyal, supportive set of fans anywhere. 
    For the record, I don't come from Derby nor live near (clue's in my name), but even so, I've supported this club through thick and thin since the glory days of McFarland, Todd, Hector, Gemmill and George in the 70s....and I'm still here. Welcome aboard.

    Hello Jake!
    OK, we will have to set you some deep-learning modules :))
    Search and read up a-plenty on these DCFC legends for starters, and then you'll love us even more!
    Steve Bloomer
    The Baseball Ground
    Brian Clough & Peter Taylor
    Kevin Hector
    Dave Mackay
    Roy McFarland
    Igor Stimac
    The Bald Eagle (Jim Smith)
    David Clowes
     
    Then for balance, to understand the true resilience of Rams fans in adversity, look up:
     
    Robert Maxwell
    The Three Amigos
    Mel Morris
    Quantuma
     
    If you are still determined to be an honorary overseas Ram after that lot, you're as crazy as the rest of us!
