Make Derby Great Again.

Aberdeenshire Rams. Aberdeen Rams. Stonehaven Rams. Fraserborogh Rams. Elgin Rams. Montrose Rams etc.
Hope you are all well.

If anyone fancies joining me in Derby for a pint prior to the Swansea game at Pride Park on Sat 2nd Oct 2021.
I will also be seeing The Wedding Present at The Devils Arse Cave, Peak Cavern, Castleton, S33 8WS on Fri 1st Oct 2021.
Fancy meeting up for pre / post match drinks @therams69  @uttoxram75? if you are up for it, I will PM you both nearer the time and swap numbers etc. And I'm sure neither of you boys would stand me up like that @PrivateDerbyfella, did previously, after travelling all the way from Aberdeen in another episode of Trains, Planes & Automobiles to be left hanging around in The Flowerpot with a no show!
And you all know what you can do with your crackerjack pencils!
 
 
 

The EFL will relegate us one way or another. The timing of the announcement tells you everything in my opinion. They lost but will do their level best to derail next season. Now we are in a position where we can’t really plan or attract players. Vindictive and unprofessional. I take it they appeal until they get the decision they want. What they should do is allow our recruitment team to sign whoever they want if they really want to punish us. 
 
If Derby don’t announce that the accounts have been re-submitted and we are fine then I will be worried. They have had years to prepare them so surely should be in the post already.
What a load of crap football has become. 

Managed poorly by 4 different managers? If you want to play you simply have to show willing and Marriott would rather take a fat cheque and go play golf. Fair enough I suppose, but then he can't expect to be treated any different to any other player as he's done fook all to warrant it.
Compare and contrast Shinnie's attitude when for a long while, he was not making the starting line up. With another tough season very likely to follow the last, that's the type of player we need, not some feckless, fat lad who just can't be arsed. The guy's meant to be a professional sportsman yet he carries as much timber as I do. If he doesn't turn up to pre-season fit and raring to go, we need get shot of him irrespective of the FFP hit. Enough is enough.
I agree that it's more money down the drain and that sucks, but you have to cut your losses somewhere and frankly he's the kind of player we can do without when facing another backs-to-the-wall season. If he comes back fit, great, crack on son, if not, jog on tubbs.

Autocorrect changed it to that so many times ?. A fantastic leader on and off the pitch. RIP Captain Hindmarch ?

Jim Smith appointed Derby County manager, that’s a fantastic signing, said practically nobody 

The premier league spends billions with abandon yet the leagues aspiring to join this ‘elite’ are kept in their place, ensuring a gulf in quality exists between the two. 
 
It’s not Football Fair Play. It’s cronyism protecting the top teams.

Whilst each generation may have their good/great players, are they really deserving of the “King” epitaph? Since Kevin Hector hung his boots up there are only a couple  of players that have had the same impact on our club as he did, dragging it up from depths similar to where we currently find ourselves to the top league and beyond. In my humble opinion the  only two that come close are Bobby Davison and Igor Stimac.

Surely the biggest mistake was sacking McClaren the first time? He was under contract so we would surely have received compensation if Newcastle had appointed him?

Not really, but it's a lovely thought!

Fair enough, but they could come out and say that.

I took the 20% off 20/21 season ticket from the 19/20  season and rather stupidly it seems now renewed. What did surprise me was that I was charged the full price as   Id expected the discount would have been applied on renewal. At the beginning of the season I informed the club I didnt want the rams tv and after consideration of the current circumstances Id except the offer of a full refund and was told like every one else my refunds would be sorted in due course,I was also owed for two match tickets which I was refunded for by cheque in december but since then nothing. Like everyone Id just like a bit of an update and a bit of honesty on the subject. Me and my mate used to to say we were loyal and lobotomised when it came to DCFC and even writing this makes me feel disloyal but for the first time in 36 years Im seriously considering not renewing because Im sure the club just expect me to roll it on to next season. I dont want to sound entitled but I do think we deserve a bit of communication

No refund. Not for me, not the Rams Squad refund for the lad.
We are owed for 19/20 and this year, who knows. I presume this is being carried forward-heard nothing really except that we won’t get any rams squad benefits for this year, which is fair enough, although we didn’t for the year before either. Apparently we are in a queue for a refund. Long queue not moving. Last time ever that I will renew early. 
Interestingly the boy won’t watch Derby on TV anymore and the only players he can name are Waghorn and Lawrence. I can’t say I blame him although how he can remember Tom Lawrence playing is a mystery.
The lack of honesty and transparency really sticks in the throat. They should just come out and say that they can’t afford to pay anyone the money owed to us and they are very sorry for robbing their most loyal customers.
They could then perhaps offer Tom Lawrence as a human sacrifice. Although yet again by not playing today his mythical status and potential for actually scoring a goal increased. So maybe we will have to settle for Waghorn. I was going to suggest his head on a plate but I don’t think we have anyone at the club capable of setting anything ‘on a plate’ up.
Grim times for the club as a whole. I am not overly optimistic for the future on or off the pitch.
