    ScamRam reacted to TuffLuff in Paul Warne   
    To be honest though mate I think we’ve all felt like that over one topic on this forum, the unfortunate truth is we’ve all been the person rounding up on someone else too. Although I think it’s got a little worse since the admin year because everyone was more active and living through every twist, I just think it’s part of forum life. You’ll  write a throwaway post and it’ll be analysed within an inch of its life, you’ll write five long paragraphs explaining your view in a balanced way and no one will engage except one poster who still hasn’t got the point of what you’ve said. Again, it’s what it is.
    We are all over precious about what we say, I really try nowerdays to make my point on something and let it go. It might not help debate but it helps not having to explain something over and over. Also I think we sometimes just have to admit we were wrong sometimes. I’ve criticised Warne, Bird, Wilson and a whole load more things at different times this season but I’ve also had to admit on here they’ve all proved me wrong at some point too. We all have a right to an opinion but we also have to put our arms up sometimes too.

    Wasn't that thread from October, when things were looking absolutely dire on the pitch? I appreciate it's a results business, but at the time we were getting neither the results nor a performance. We'd barely troubled the top six the previous season, and looked set to repeat the same again.
    The message was sent loud and clear that it wasn't good enough. Had things carried on in the same manner, he'd have been out of a job. Absolutely no doubt in my mind. It's also important that Warne at this point was freely admitting things were nowhere near good enough. It wasn't just us Warne outers that were critical. He was agreeing with us.
    Credit given to all involved that following that "altercation" with Hourihane and the fans, results did improve. And that was despite key players being out injured. I absolutely think that the toxicity at the time knocked some reality into the players and staff. I think it was their make or break time. I also absolutely think we'd be nowhere near second had we all just clapped them off every game, and quietly accepted whatever garbage was being served up. I truly think it was the moment the penny dropped for the club. And it was needed.
    I think that point in time, when the Warne doubt was at it's highest, that neither camp was wrong. One camp were fed up with things as they were in reality. One camp were optimistic things would improve. I'd also argue both camps were right because despite results improving, arguably the football didn't. So some very valid questions remained.
    However it's results that get you up, so most sane doubters were placated. And we did go up. Because we're Derby and we're brilliant, regardless of who's in charge.
    But I'm always wrong, so feel free to disagree.

    I’m not for one second suggesting that I was anything other than a bog standard village footballer but I played all of my football at left back, despite being right footed.
    Over time, you adapt and I could cross the ball, shoot or take free kicks with either foot. No excuses for those who play for a living.

    ScamRam got a reaction from S6 boy in Paul Warne appointed as Head Coach   
    So last night there was a 'rumour' that Warne was a candidate to replace Rosenior who had been relieved of his duties as interim manager.
    Today, Warne becomes Head Coach and 3 of his staff move as well. 
    Dont know about anybody else but I dont make decisions about my next employment in a matter of hours. 4 people have clearly been speaking to their families for days about this change in their lives. Doesnt seem a snap decion by Clowes, been simmering for a while me thinks

    Went last night as a guest in Lincoln's VIP area. Met Colin Murphy who looks frail at 78 but enjoyed talking Derby. Then met David Clowes, I said "I have managed to sneak in!" to which he replied "So have I!" Still not sure he quite believes he owns us! Half time Lincoln fans couldnt believe they were winning, fully expected us to win comfortably but grew in heart at our inabity to score. Barkhuizen chance was the turning point I think, different game if that had gone in
