    G_Kinkladze got a reaction from Carnero in Relegation rivals watch   
    Barnsley 1-0 Hull.
    Happy with that, still 13 points to Hull (if they lose) with two games in hand.
    Feels a very long way to catch them, too far really, but there's still 14 games to go this season, and I'd rather they be mathematically catchable than not!

    In all seriousness I want Boro to beat Reading, this is bigger than just one match.
    We have a real chance here, great goal Tom!

    G_Kinkladze got a reaction from LeedsCityRam in Depression, anxiety, stress and other related issues   
    I've just finished reading Jason Fox' book, Battle Scars.
    His lifestyle/working career are clearly quite unique and finding parallels in terms of events is a bit of a challenge but there's some really solid admissions in there relating to his mental health battle.
    It largely covers PTSD but I am of the opinion that his issue was more depression focused (later on, once he'd left the service) and I think that could certainly relate to a few who might be struggling with that side of life.
    Worth a read, especially if you've suffered any trauma in life, and certainly has straightened my thoughts out in a few areas and takes a different approach to any other books on the subject I've come across.

    Hi Angie/Jim,
    The issue you will have, amongst the wider DCFC community, is with the objective highlighted in bold.
    Myself, I am ambivalent towards RT, I certainly don't share some of the negative views held by some about the Trust.
    However, how can it claim to be democratic? Are the Board elected by other Board Members, or paid trust members? It certainly isn't done by DCFC's wider community, and therein lies the issue about representation. 
    Ultimately, people will always resent being represented by those whom aren't elected (not least by that individual). Sadly, for RT to be an accountable, trustworthy and widely supported Trust it needs to be far more transparent and engaging with fans beyond the RT sphere.
    So, on a positive; welcome. If this is the beginning of RT reaching out to the wider community then it is absolutely welcomed and arguably should have come some time before now and I wish you success in the venture.

    Jim,
    Thanks for the response.
    For what it's worth I do think the Trust is trying to do the right thing and I don't envy your position in truth; trying to be an encompassing voice for a wide spectrum of views from groups who aren't all in possession of quite the same level of information it would seem.
    I wholeheartedly agree and support the engagement with fans across the spectrum and appreciate the time taken to come to us. 
    Unfortunately I think you will always be greeted with reticence in some corners (though I won't include myself in that, my query was purely relating to the nature of the organisational intent as opposed to any of the Trusts actions) but I do hope that you will stick around and act as a sounding board for Forum Members to put forward (sensible) queries to the Club.
    Perhaps @David we could pin a post from the Trust for it to be used for queries (not discussion) to keep it clean (this is a little clumsy!). Members can discuss Balotelli in another thread, give Jim a fair chance and some hospitality.

    For what it's worth I'm not pouring scorn and I applaud anyone, irregardless of their associations, for supporting the Club at any point in time, not just this.
    The transparency from Jim and yourself, and I hope this isn't a flash in the pan, is really encouraging. It isn't possible, I'd expect, for RT to be constantly canvassing the digital fanbase for comment, but actively seeking engagement will alleviate a lot of the animosity, I'd expect.
    In answer to the query about me personally, I'm posted half a planet away so the answer to that is 'very little', sadly.

    Then, in which case, it's first objective is worded incorrectly.
    It is a democratic and representative voice of its paid Trust Members, not 'supporters of the club'.
    Too generic a term to be applied,  I'm afraid, and should be revised.
    I'm not saying that any of RT's actions have been incorrect and, generally, is likely to be in keeping with the majority of fans views, but it's just wrong to claim to be a democratic voice for all DCFC fans when it isn't elected by those whom it claims to represent.
