    Gisby reacted to Archied in Does Warne deserve the vitriol aimed at him?   
    Anti football??, sitting 11 men behind the ball , stopping the other team scoring with no effort to score yourself , constant fouls and time wasting, that’s anti football, we go out trying to win every game under warne and at times we leave ourselves open and if we are not on it we look poor, we don’t play anti football, we play a style YOU don’t like,
    god this forum becomes a grind at times , lose a game and it’s the manger is garbage , every other player is garbage , every thread becomes a tool to trash our manager and fav scapegoat player 🤷🏻‍♂️🥲

    Enforced business plan finishes in the Summer and no wage cap from then on either. Coincidence? I think not!

    It's interesting how over the course of the season the moaning has evolved from not being in the playoffs to not being in the Top 2.
    Shows that someone somewhere is doing something right.

    As long as there were no big surprises for DC after admin, presumably any Bielik payments etc were known about, surely these numbers are to be expected by the company and prob more importantly the EFL. Presumably they have seen them before publication and are happy in accordance with what they expected coming out of admin and our business plan or cant imagine we would have been able to sign someone on a fee yesterday. 
     
    cements my total admiration for DC and his family as they have gone from running a successful development company on a low key basis and enjoying being normal rams fans (if actually we can ever be normal) to taking all of this 💩on to deal with. Can you imagine the stuff he's had to deal with?  And after all that you have fans moaning about us not signing people, going over snd over the words the poor bloke said on the budget for this year forensically, and how terrible last January's window was, etc.
    the accounts wont tell half the story but to me there are no words to describe what David Clowes and his family did for all of us, the club and the City. I also dont think we know just how close we were to being gone. Also in strange way grateful to Kirchner as if DC had not already been involved with knowledge of what was going on when just buying the stadium, would he have been in a position to act so quickly to save us?

    Gisby reacted to angieram in Tyreece John-Jules - joined on a 6-month loan, extended to end of season   
    Six months to play for his future as a professional footballer - it's in his own hands (or should that be feet?) now.
    He has the skills, now he needs to work on both his fitness and match-impact. 
    I am looking forward to seeing how he does.

    Gisby reacted to Kernow in Mendez-Laing - new contract to 2026   
    By the end of the 2026 season, he’ll be 34. I think being a mid-table(ish) Championship side should be a realistic target for then, given our current position.
    I’d imagine his weekly wage on a 2 year contract will be less than if we only extended to 2025, but gives him that guaranteed income for an extra year. Even if he’s just a squad player by the end of his contract, I think it’s a smart move for all involved.

    Gonna be honest and say his line in chat drove me bonkers to start with, but I think it's just his schtick and perhaps something he does to address his nerves. These days, he just makes me laugh, though I'd likely not be so 'charitable' were we losing every week. That said, I'd actually like to see him enjoy some success at Derby, even if he might not be the long term solution and the fact that he irritates the **** out of his detractors makes me chuckle too. Far from everyone's cup of tea, but certainly not the fool some believe him to be.

    Well that performance last night was an absolute tonic to me after a dreadful Christmas (my dad is terminally ill and has been in hospital throughout Xmas). I wasn't going to go , even though the Kassam Stadium is less than 2 miles away from where I live but my family persuaded me to so I went and apart from that first 15 minutes I had the best away day I've had for years. That second half performance was brilliant; relentless attacking pressure that blew Oxford away. The Rams fans last night were also amazing; you wouldn't have known we were the team 2-0 down. I couldn't speak at the final whistle from all the singing!
    Its nights like that that make following this club so special. After what has been a rough few weeks personally I really needed that experience last night.

    Honestly it’s not brought in as a guilt trip , I bite a lot less at the haughty antics of some pulling people on spelling and grammar than I did when b4 was posting but I honestly just see it as posh bullying and a bit pathetic, I dislike that kind of bullying every bit as much as physical bullying by those lucky enough to hold physical advantage , I honestly wish some people would think on 🤷🏻‍♂️

    Joking aside , we have sadly just lost one of the best and most valued posters on a derby county forum you could have , spelling ? Grammar? Punctuation? 
    how sad some people never learn when it’s obvious ( because they like to tell us all ) they are academic and capable of learning , maybe just not capable of learning what’s important and what isn’t 🤷🏻‍♂️

    First things first this not a scam. Long time member - used to be a moderator - drifted away now slowly getting drawn back in.
    In a story too long to tell I have a spare YL (youth Large?) away shirt (blue and black check)
    Should fit an 8/9 year old.
    anybody want it DM me - I should be at the game on Thursday if not I could arrange postage.
     
    just thought there might be someone on here who could do with a little goodwill this time of year.

    Thank you to everyone who was able to attend the funeral, give a final clap, or held Daniel in your thoughts today. It was a send off he would have been proud of. I could picture what his reactions would have been the day. He would definitely have approved, particularly of the buffet 😄

    It’s never easy, Claire, but it does help (immensely) to enjoy the memories.
    Rule No1 in my book is never feel guilty about smiling… or laughing… about our lost loved ones. 
    Yes, that in itself may sometimes lead to tears and literal heartache, but occasionally to more smiles, and more laughter. It feels bad. It feels wrong. But in reality, it’s healthy. It’s normal. 
    The next few days in particular will no doubt feel like a roller coaster… physically and mentally.  
    None of us can stop the ride, but we can hold your hand and help you through it. 
     
    Stay strong for your parents, for Daniel, and most importantly for yourself. 
    We’re all here for you. 
    You’re our sister now.

    My deepest condolences to B4's family and friends.  Daniel was one of those rare individuals whose spirit leapt from the computer screen and into our lives. 3,650 miles from Derby as i write this, and I feel as though I've lost a friend that I never met. 
    B4's unflagging support of Derby, even in the difficult times, always provided a lift and a smile for the rest of us.
    Daniel's legacy will live forever in the hearts and minds of this virtual family.

    Boro fan here, donning hard hat and coming in peace. 
    Been an occasional stalker on this board (ever since all the unpleasantness!) but felt compelled to register today after seeing this sad news.
    B4 was a poster I saw popping up on almost every thread that appeared on here and his passion for his football team was so clear with every word he typed. Fans with this level of devotion are few and far between and should be treasured by clubs and other fans alike. I'm sure he will leave a huge hole behind for everyone who knew him. Sending condolences to all friends, family and fellow DCFC supporters for your loss. 
    All the best, Steve (not that one!)

    Gisby reacted to Returning ram in Derby vs Leyton Orient   
    So you don't know what was said, when it was said, but you believe it could show a breakdown in a relationship between PW and Sibbo ? Anyone who has played or managed football, will know it's an emotional and competitive game, even if they did have an exchange of views, it's something that happens all the time.
     
    We seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel now in ways to bash the manager, not that I'm complaining, long may it continue as it shows there isn't much to go at 😊

    Warne responded to the Ramstv interviewer’s statement of “Louie Sibley opened the scoring, cracking strike” by saying;
    “yeah I’m glad he scored because if he didn’t score he’d have been in deep cause he could have put Birdy in. Really pleased with Sibs, you know he had different roles if it was a 3 at the back or a 4 at the back what position he was, he was a 10 or an 8, same with the wide players they had different roles today because sometimes they attacked with a 3 the midfielder slots inside the pitch so there was a lot of information. I thought the lads dealt with that pretty well and I thought Sibs was a handful, so I was pleased for Sibs and erm yeah he was one of many of the good performers”.
    Seems fairly specific praise about Sibley doing well and coping with the changing formation to me, not sure what needs to be guessed at?

    I’ve asked my parents to confirm the time the cortège will be at Pride Park. Will let you all know when I have the answer. As the funeral is at 11:00am, I would guess 10:20ish. The cars will stop outside the main entrance for a few minutes before setting off. 
     
    Thank you again to everyone for your kindness and love for Daniel. It’s been lovely getting to know people and even meeting a few in person. All the messages and laughs have really kept me going during this awful time ❤️🐏❤️
