Guest Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 No big news at Moor Farm at the moment so they'll report anything Derbyesque. It's silly season for you...just look at the thread on George....errm whats his name?....Thorne...yeah that's him. George Thorne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Always going to be like this, the writers have newspapers to sell so they will write about anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CumbrianRam Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 There is literally no new news around DCFC at the moment and they still have space to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramafan Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 Don't like it don't read it, seems simple to me It's simple every morning look to see what headlines are to see if anything as happened at the club, I don't live in Derby, what I don't like is lazy journalism, do you think London Evening Standard reported Bryson or Hughes signing extension deals? No because it's not in there area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 London Evening Standard has a much bigger portfolio of sports teams than the DET though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramafan Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 London Evening Standard has a much bigger portfolio of sports teams than the DET though. The Nottingham Evening Post wouldn't report anything about Derby County yet THE DET reports they have signed somebody from Barcelona, and it's about the same size paper as DET, I know for sure that Florist fans want to see nothing about our club in the Evening Post, yet we put things in about them, just don't bother reporting anything and fill space up with news on Derbyshire cricket club.

Alph Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Tbf I'm not sure why anyone would care about what Zamora is doing. We going to get updates on every player who scored against us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 I agree, but it is most likely a PA article, takes no effort and easy room filler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Yeah I'm not arsed really. We're all very bored and short of real things to talk about. Think most summers most folks clear their minds of football for a bit. You only get a few people who spend all summer flapping. This year because we are all still on a high then nobody has switched off. When the season starts all this flapping will seem rather daft. We'll be too busy moaning we haven't beaten everyone 5-0 and won the league by September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcnram Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 It's a newspaper not a sole mouthpiece for Derby Co. I like to know what is happening around other clubs. If you don't want to read the wider coverage don't read the paper - hard copy or online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 It's all syndicated auto-linking. If the story mentions Derby at all then it gets linked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I personally don't mind it, I want to know what our league rivals are getting up to. Every time I start to get a bit panicked about our transfer activity I see another team in our league has signed someone horrid. It's reassuring. It's really hard for local newspapers in the modern age and the DET is alright. Steve Nicholson is a decent local sports reporter. We do miss a Gerald Mortimer-type character...but that over-used phrase "they don't make them like that anymore" really does apply there. This is about as good as it's ever going to get. Social media has replaced the accountability/story exclusivity that the DET would have once had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knabby crackers Posted July 17, 2014 Share Posted July 17, 2014 The Nottingham Evening Post wouldn't report anything about Derby County yet THE DET reports they have signed somebody from Barcelona, and it's about the same size paper as DET, I know for sure that Florist fans want to see nothing about our club in the Evening Post, yet we put things in about them, just don't bother reporting anything and fill space up with news on Derbyshire cricket club. I think you will find that both newspapers are produced in Nottingham and I am told they are both owned by the same company. How do you know that the NEP would not report on anything regarding DCFC, do you read that newspaper on a regular basis? As others have mentioned, when things are slow newspapers have to fill space and they publish reports which may not be totally relevant to our club or area. When I am at a loss to fill my day with the normal things in life I spend a small amount of time checking the spelling and misuse of words in the posts of others, for instance in your posts I found .................. Two instances of the use of 'there' when the correct word would have been 'their' and then there was 'as' instead of 'has'. You may consider it to be worthless but it took up 5 minutes of my time which might have been better spent trolley dodging in Morrisons or Asda, however it gave me a certain amount of satisfaction as I do my bit to combat advancing old age and as I endeavour to keep the grey cells active.
