May I ask, what version of Auto-Correct are you currently running?   

This is about reading not derby

Nige’s “Dead leg” on wee Billy.

The last goal in this game takes some beating as far as my own personal reaction goes.
 

I thought it meant Abe Simpson is the Quantuma admin lead, he arrives at a bar for a drink, but when he sees  Wayne Rooney (Bart) he realises he should be at work or he's forgotten to do any work on the DCFC administration and PB, so has to go back to work.

Found a home hasn't he? A few folk are still saying he needs got rid of. Fair enough, that's clearly their opinion. Why anyone would be repeatedly saying that when there's 10 games remaining in the most difficult season in decades, I'll not dwell on any further, but I do wonder why he has not been judged by the same metrics as some of our other players. He's always worked hard for Derby, he's tried to settle, he's all about the team and especially mindful of the young'uns and to a degree, he has already succeeded when he's failed so often before. Clearly, he absolutely loves the club, the coaching team and us fans, so whilst he's not and should not be exempt from criticism, it's hard to fathom why some choose to single him out so often.
In fairness and for balance, for a player with such outrageous technical ability, he's not shown enough consistently as yet. The coaches will be talking to him no doubt and I'm sure Rav himself has high expectations of himself and would admit that some strong early performances seemed to give way to a 'safety first' mindset and yet despite his age, I do wonder whether with Rav, it's simply a case of confidence and being made to feel welcome and appreciated. We all know he's made mistakes in the past and some will understandably argue that he's been given chances to redeem himself before now, but why should we care about that? Surely it's only his work ethic at Derby with which we should be concerned?
Looking to the future and with his first full season under his belt, I do wonder what we might have on our hands if he stays. Whilst some still say he should be first out the door, I think he might well have silenced them before end of season. Most doubters will be genuinely happy to admit he's worth a slot if he does, I've no doubt of that. We can be hard to please but for the most part, we're not an unfair bunch. One or two, not so much, but you can't please everyone. A very small minority need someone to dislike and sadly for Rav, he fits their bill. He may silence them, but he'll never be loved by them in the same way as some other players, even those with far less potential upside. Alas, such is life and perhaps Rav himself will need to accept that fact if he is to complete the most unlikely of renaissances, but what a story that would make. That's the message I'd be drilling home.
For my part, if his growing confidence over the last few games maintains an upward curve, which I believe it will, I wonder whether Rav might not prove the most unlikely of heroes should his goals and assists ultimately help keep us in this league? The way I see it, the issue then would not be whether or not he stays, but rather whether or not we can keep hold of him. I guarantee that he'll be interesting one or two now that he seem to have dealt with his demons, but I hope the love he's been shown by the club and the majority of us fans would be enough to convince him that Derby is his true home and that he can still become a legend, though not perhaps in the fashion he once envisaged.
Food for thought?

In the interim, here's his message to us:
 

He bottled the sending off no question..

If anyone had said before the season started, you’re going into administration, then lose -21 points, I mean 21 POINTS, half your senior pro’s and however many kids just to survive BUT be within 5 points of safety with 10 games left.....
Of course, it’s still on,........we’re Derby County and we fight until the end ?

It was never off! 10 games to play 5 points from safety we can do this. 

not seen or heard owt yet?

I think my rallying cry they read or someone did and read to the players.

Let’s not forget we’ve played a game more than Reading, two more than Barnsley. We have to get points against some really good teams.
There - that’s my sensible head. 
 
However, I just did one of these.


 
 

All in due course my lad.

Dug in last 20 for that.  5 points to Reading.  Preferred bidder in by Friday.

One of the best quotes I heard a lad say from my army days.....I went to bed with Sharon Stone.......I woke up with 20 stone ???

Isn’t Mel’s older brother called Derek ??

Mel then Dell. duck em all. And the EFL too of course.

To an extent. That’s a new one, well done Quantuma good work.
