    Tarantism reacted to Leeds Ram in Where Rooney ranks compared to other Rams managers   
    The hypothetical was on expected goals scored and our results would be better but the stats currently don't bear that out, rather it's the opposite. Our defence statistically should have conceded quite a few more than it has and we could have scored a couple more but not that many more. The problem is chance creation isn't all that great, especially away from home and defensively we've overperformed, it wasn't that long ago I read that Roos had saved pretty much the highest % save rate in the championship. 
    if we'd have had a better squad then we'd have been less cautious which would have opened us up and had a less defensive outlook. Like I said before anyone can play the game of 'what if' and present their own scenario but none of it has any credibility.

    I've not seen @Eddie or an other poster blame the fans bar that chap who seems to ducked off the forum. What I have seen is some suggest that some folk should recall that they won't so fussed about spending big when it actually occurred.

    Tarantism reacted to BaaLocks in Bad behaviour by Derby (& coventry) fans again   
    I'll make one statement on this, as I appreciate this is a football thread in a football forum, but this is part of the society we have created in the past six or seven years - and it will get a whole lot worse before it gets better. People are angry and that anger comes out more and more, plus people with extreme views feel legitimised for the first time in a generation to openly vocalists those views. Football is just a very convenient place for it to be released.

    Tarantism reacted to RAM1966 in Mel Morris fan club   
    He wasn't gambling with his own money though, he's run up a poo load of debt.  He's gambled with the HMRCs money, he's gambled with the money owed to HMRC (income tax and employees & employers NI contributions) which may result in ex-employees state pensions being reduced.  He has gambled with dozens of peoples jobs and long standing servants of the club like Faye Nixon have lost their jobs.  I wonder how many can no longer pay their mortgages, maybe you should stand there face to face with these people and defend Mel and see what reaction you get!  
    About time you took your Mel Morris appreciation society specs off.........!!!!!!!

    Tarantism reacted to uttoxram75 in Factory jobs   
    I've been elected to represent the factory based salaried staff in the Consultation meetings regarding the "proposed" closure of our factory.
    Had our first meeting today and it was quite brutal. We're ducked. Its an old site and due to several changes of ownership in recent years leading to no investment, coupled with mental increases in the price of flour, sugar, palm oil, and energy costs over the last 18 months, there is no way back.
    We are not financially viable.
    We have been through severe restructures in recent years, chopping jobs left, right and centre to no avail, the company that owns us does not want to modernise and invest so we will close in March 2022.
    I've worked there for 42 years. Started as a machine operator in 1978, ended up as a Shift Production Manager, covered the Operations Manager role for a period when the site was between owners. FFS, I met me missus there!
    In a small town like Uttoxeter, I have seen kids and grandkids of lads I first worked with start their working life at the factory. Had blokes coming up to me in pubs demanding to know why their lad had been sacked, had people begging me for jobs, my wife has been threatened because I had to sack somebody.
    I have also had people come up to me and thanked me for giving them confidence to improve their lives, people who I used to work with who now run their own businesses who always buy me a pint because they were inspired by me. I can't express the feeling that gives me.
    My son did his engineering apprenticeship at the factory and is now the Operations Manager for Aggreko in Asia. My daughter worked there for a few years part time running the factory shop and now runs her own business.
    We used to do Evening shifts, Lunch Time relief shifts  etc that appealed to mums who wanted a part time job to work around childcare but we had to stop all that as we got taken over by different companies. We were a factory that was part of our community.
    Its a sad situation but I will do everything I can to negotiate the best possible deal for the people who have asked me to represent them.
     
    I'm a bit emotional and had a couple of drinks so time to call it a night.

    Tarantism reacted to Ken Tram in Wayne Rooney   
    And I have been positive about his potential as a manager! And so, I take it as a personal kick in the teeth. 
    I haven't expected him to do things perfectly as he learns his trade - but I did not expect him to undermine his efforts with non-footballing behaviour.
    The best thing that he can do is get down to the training ground early - leave late - and do extra -  give himself a massive fine - and show everyone that although mistakes can happen - the commitment to the club (when paid millions) is paramount - and that mistakes can be atoned for through extra effort and commitment.
    And then maybe he has a chance to will be able to earn back the ability to get players, and staff, and fans to go the extra mile.

    Tarantism reacted to Mr Tibbs in Wayne Rooney   
    I sympathise with him, he's been taken advantage of for sure. But how many more times does he have to be put through the ringer before he takes himself out of these situations? Until he gets a bit of self control I'm not sure he should really be manager of a football club. 
    My views are biased as I'm just not arsed about him being our manager, I'm just fed up. Things like this are easily avoidable if you act like a rational person IMO.
