Roy, you know a lot about the game, you’ve watched a lifetime of football, I know from our PM’s that you are a sound, well read intelligent and thoughtful man, but honestly with the anti Warne thing and the Sibley my love child stance you are being a bit of an obsessional scratched record and seriously one dimensional. Come on, regardless of position or a run of starts and whatever caveats are chucked in, has Sibs really got even close to his early promise or his occasional purple patches. ? I am sure you’d lambast the likes of Lawrence or Ince for the level of performance we’ve seen from him, but somehow Sibs gets a free pass time and again. I Just don’t get it ?
 
he’s a good lad with some ability, that  from time to time shows up. That said he isn’t a Will Hughes or anything even close. You wouldn’t build a team round him, you wouldn’t chose him as a dead cert on a 1 V 1, you wouldn’t say he’s Mr 100% graft and passion. You wouldn’t say he was team spirit personified or possessed of vision and a football brain. He’s a Ram and I’ll back him all the way when he’s playing but seeing him as a wronged and misused super star in the making is bonkers. .. And that is how you come across. Hey, each to his own, it is just opinions but there does come a point when hard evidence negates even the most sincere feelings and instincts. 

Surely he has been told again and again about stupid tackles and picking up bookings?  The lad just does not learn and hasn't got a footballing brain, some players never do. He will make a career, but not the sort i thought it was going to be

Spot on. He just does not improve. The excuses of not playing regular or out of position is wearing thin and does not excuse a complete lack of footballing brain,  for someone who has played the game from a tiny kid

Isn’t that what they used to call the manager?

So So Sad to hear of B4's passing. They say only the good are taken young and B4 was the best. 
Condolences to family and friends. 
We often say when we lose someone 'you will be missed', well you most definitely will lad so RIP. 

When I read the news earlier I was too shocked and saddened to process it.
Like many have said, although we've not met, he was such a character you felt like you've spent a lifetime talking with him down the pub. The type of conversations where your mates trying to pick you up after a bad day. His posts would always be a highlight in any thread.
38 is no age, but hopefully he is at peace and will be able to look down and see the Mighty Rams go from strength to strength on their charge up the leagues and to the Champions League final in a few years. Of course mainly with lads from the academy.
I love the "Be More B4" idea and hope that all of us can bear him in mind when things aren't going so great and we can add some positivity to the forum in his absence. 
RIP Daniel 🖤 🤍

What a punch to the gut seeing the other thread reference b4 then finding this post off the back of it. I'm speechless. For someone I've never met, I'm left so empty. Feel like I've known him for ever however; must be at least 15 years+ since the old DET days when I was a lot more active and we all first began to understand and love b4. He really was the best of us with his unwaivering support (except his irrational hatred of the pink kit, obvs) and eternal blind optimism. What a loss to this forum, the club and those he leaves behind. Raise your flanges and scraves in tribute vs Bristol Rovers. Bless you and thank you b4.

This is only the second time I have ever posted on this site though I read it almost daily for news, gossip and because I like to see what others think about our team. I go to nearly all games, home and away, but I don't think I have ever met B4. But as everyone has said he shone like a beacon on here and I loved to read his posts. He was the ultimate fan. What a huge loss. Please keep his memory alive on here. We need more people like him in the world, people who are just passionate and not consumed by a desire to be right or to put others down. I hope that the love that has been expressed for him is some consolation to his family.

My deepest sympathy to B4’s family and friends.
As an overseas fan, I watch RamsTV and also read the forum as it brings me closer to home and provides a more a personal and human side to following the Rams. B4 was certainly a star if the forum and I always enjoyed reading his posts. He will be missed by folks not only in Derby, but by us fans scattered around the world.
RIP B4
