MaltRam got a reaction from Kathcairns in At What Point Do You Cancel Your Season Ticket?
I'd support Derby and have a ST in the Conference North, and it would be every bit as much worth it as a season in the Prem. It's about the support, not the 'product'.

What is it with refs not adding time on at the end of halves in this tournament?

Nah. Scousers by archetype are white blokes. You can take the piss out of them with impunity.
Now that's poking the woke brigade.

MaltRam got a reaction from NottsRam77 in EFL Verdict
Another battle won, but the war not over. Need the accounts in, and us out of Um Bongo, and we need the takeover urgently too.
Worth pausing to say that Steve Gibson and Rick Parry can get ducked too.

MaltRam reacted to uttoxram75 in EFL Verdict
For them to use the word regrettably when their own legal counsel told them there are no grounds for appeal is ducking outrageous, unprofessional and proves they are out to get us based on some twits opinion rather than cold hard evidence.

Can you imagine the EFL reaction? Might be worth it just for boiling the urine of certain chairmen of certain clubs.

MaltRam reacted to RAM1966 in EFL Verdict
I do not think that you figures are correct unless I have missed something.
This is what has been filled at companies house:
15/16 - £14.7M Loss
16/17 - £7.9M Loss
17/18 - £14.6 Profit
As the accounts currently stand Derby have posted a loss of £8M over that 3 years FFP period, so unless the restated accounts make us declare more than an additional £31M over this period we should be okay. You've worked out its a £23M swing, so I believe we are comfortably compliant by around £8M. Unless of course Gibson's accountant can dig up any more skeletons, I suspect he would have done that by now though! Or have I missed something?
All that said god only knows what 18/19 and 19/20 accounts are going to look like, nothing left to sell to offset these, although I believe that the wage bill has drastically reduced, so hopefully not too bad!!!
Well done Mel you've maxed out the credit card, now pay in the money you've recklessly spent and sod off, when you get there sod off some more!!!

MaltRam reacted to BucksRam in EFL Verdict
I still can't get my head round why we're the ones in the dock when our accounts were approved, our accounting process was approved, the sale was approved, we referred everything for scrutiny and approval i.e. were fully transparent yet here we are being called cheats, being fined, threatened with relegation. If I typed how I really felt about the EFL I'm pretty sure I'd be banned from this forum.

MaltRam reacted to Comrade 86 in EFL Verdict
Why are some folk so unable, unwilling or both, to assimilate a few simple facts concerning these charges? It's no small wonder that fans from other clubs have a poor opinion of us now, when some of our own fans, who ought to be better informed, are themselves the first to jump on any sniff of perceived wrongdoing. What possible benefit is there in wilfully ignoring what we know to be true in favour presupposing guilt at every corner? We've even got folk using the fact that we've not submitted the new accounts inside 48 hours as the latest stick with which to thrash the club. It simply beggars belief.
For the umpteenth time, there were two charges; one related to the valuation of our stadium and was summarily dismissed by the DC; the other related to our amortisation policy which was signed off on and approved under legal accounting standards by independent auditors, the auditors regulatory body, the DC and the ducking EFL themselves, the latter several times over a period of years. The amortisation policy charge was also initially dismissed by the DC for the aforementioned reasons. This left the EFL so desperate to save face that they appealed the decision, the outcome of which was predicted by myself and numerous others on this very thread: a small fine in order to secure the token win they need to maintain any ducking credibility at all AND NO POINTS DEDUCTION.
At this point, I very much doubt that even the EFL will be willing to risk further embarrassment. They can kid themselves this paltry fine vindicates two years of unwarranted charges and appeals and get back to their principal role as lapdogs to Sky and the Premiership whilst paying themselves inflated salaries for doing so. As for the DC, I strongly suspect that they only agreed to what is a nominal fine in order to save the EFL from falling into further disrepute and to allow us to finally emerge from under an endless series of unfair and damaging embargos and to prevent the EFL from continuing what has become a spiteful and unwarranted campaign against a club whose chairman quite rightly questioned their business acumen. In doing so, they have vindicated Mel's opinion in spades, though the crushing irony of this has unsurprisingly escaped the EFL's notice and who will doubtless be celebrating spending millions to secure a £100k fine for their members' coffers.
If, as I strongly suspect, the EFL do not appeal this sanction, I think we will 'be the bigger man' and simply take the £100k hit in order to allow us to return to football matters rather than spending every waking hour addressing the embittered ramblings and actions of a so-called professional body that seems more intent on undermining its membership than serving it.

MaltRam reacted to kevinhectoring in EFL Verdict
The EFl is not ‘threatening’ us with retrospective relegation. It is appealing to increase the penalty against us because it and the majority of the clubs in the league think it is too light
accused of systematic cheating? Yes that’s what the Wycombe chairman said and it’s exactly what you would want Mel to say in these circumstances if we were going down. Wycombe are entitled to fight their corner and they are doing it in a way that does not antagonise the regulator. We on the other hand ...

MaltRam reacted to Derbados in RamsTV Subscription increased by EFL
That’s absolutely ridiculous, at a time where people have lost businesses, homes and livelihoods the EFL in their total inept wisdom decide to not only raise the subscription fee, they ***** well doubled it!!

MaltRam got a reaction from Hector was the best in When do we start to panic?
If I'm anything to go by, we start panicking within a couple of months of becoming a Derby fan. From there it's just one continual lurching panic to panic journey through to the grave, so far as I can make out.
My advice is to just go with it, and numb the worst bits with IPA. Or conceivably some brutal Belgian job, or some alcohol infused Ribena, according to some on here.

This is why boxing, that's such a great sport inside the ring, will never get the crowd it deserves.
If fans are fed up of this nonsense how can a casual follower get sucked in.
Someone will feck up. This fight will never happen now. Not with them both champions

So Josh Taylor did the business against the previously undefeated Jose Ramirez and is now one of only 5 fighters to have unified a division in the 4 belt era. Calling out Terence Crawford for a fight in Edinburgh Castle next.
Fair play son, fair play! ?
