Chances are it's supporters of other clubs adding their vile opinions in the name of us "Rams for life" with their fake user names etc. I hardly think the 'supporters' that boo the team they are meant to support are from other clubs, Mel is perfect for the club, he just needs time and space and support to get it right.

Seth's left foot Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Those cretins giving Mel abuse should buy him out and show him how it's done, but then again flipping burgers doesn't make you a millionaire. Mel should send them a picture of his house, car etc in response. James Blunt is brilliant at comebacks on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much much better just to ignore first and laugh next. Bullies and extremist take themselves so seriously that laughter and mockery is often the best weapon. That and normal folk raising their heads over the parapet and dismissing them. Shaun Wright Phillps owns a gazette? Who'd a thought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sign up to be a target or a shooter. That last sentence for me Alpha is quite profound. That's EXACTLY what it is. All I plan to tell my kid when old enough to use the internet is that if you post something or post opinions, expect others to find fault with it and expect abuse and negativity, some of which is likely to be sick and disturbing. That's just the way it is. Loads of people who don't know one another bickering like 5 year olds on the internet and when someone doesn't agree with you believe me they'll let you know about it. Ultimately it's all pointless so best just have banter and opinions with your actual friends and leave these sites well alone. Just another platform for people to try and force their views on others.

I pity the sort that do it, that they have nothing better to do with their time. Sad really. Spot on. The real tragedy is that some of these extremists actually expect others to agree with them and maybe, just maybe, give them a 'like'! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Not read the rest of this thread but I think it's disgusting the way people talk about Melanie Sykes. I don't care if she 87 years old, her modelling pics are ace. You go girl! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclej Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I think the bloke is insane, although I would never say it. A philanthropist he is certainly not. He derives an astounding amount of control over the club, and that control hasnt always been wielded with much common sense. We will know the truth eventually. It will all come out. It always does.

Err, you just did... in writing... on a public forum. I'm guessing you're on Twitter. And the reason he 'derives an astounding amount of control' as you so eloquently put it, is because he is the owner and chairman of the club. Is he meant to just chuck in his millions and have them spent exclusively in a fashion that keeps you happy? In fact, are you even a Derby supporter? Reading your posts it's pretty hard to tell really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metalsheep02 Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 If the football is of the style we all hope on Saturday afternoon it would be nice to have a chorus of 'Mel Morris he's one of our own'. Whether you agree with all his decisions or not - there can be no doubt that Mel is a fan and we should appreciate that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry but I don't see that calling him insane is much better.

Thing is he is trying to do something about, Mac is brave decision but I get the thinking, if we ain't getting promoted this season well lets have some entertainment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rosythram Posted October 14, 2016 Share Posted October 14, 2016 I really do despair at some of our so called fan base. Yes we have an owner who clearly has not got all his decisions correct, unfortunately like the rest of us he happens to be human and with that particular trait comes the fact that we deal with issues with both heart and head depending of our mood at the time. Ok it does not always look professional and can on occasions look more knee jerk than it should, but basically he got involved because he is first a foremost a fan, just like us. So please tone it down, stop being so super analytical and lets just start to enjoy our team and its football again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
