Not until McClaren turned up anyway! Slight correction here, under Clough we weren't that bad at home. We were terrible away, though, and particularly terrible away to Burnley, who we seemed to lose 3-0 to at Turf Moor about 5 times each season.

Big wins away at Yeovil and Millwall, although if I remember correctly Burnley dicked us at home, probably by that same scoreline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 I used to be MacDonald's Belly on the old DET site, which I joined during the 3 amigo's era - and I chose that name to insult whichever of the 3 hoodlums hd a bit of a "bonny" physique. When that died I moved over to the COYR site, and am still on there, but it is a shadow of its former self. T'was my son who told me about this place,so I duly jumped aboard in 2016, on the basis that it was loads more fun and much livelier than COYR. The humour is terrific at times, and there is the benefit that people in high places at Pride Park read this forum (and maybe even join in?). Thanks to everyone who makes this forum what it is, and to the moderators who try and keep it sane and legal! ???? However the emoji's are better on the COYR forum!

It did feel good that a lot chose to come here, but I wasn't prepared for what was to come at all, it's been a huge learning curve, not just trying to handle member situations but the technical side and legal.

They'd need to train how to do that. It's not easy for them to gauge whether it's a deliberate pun or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollycutts1982 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Great job by @Davidand the team. Bloody love this place. I often visit other forums and I wouldn’t swap this for any of them. Layout, usability and the members. Often we agree to disagree but without ever going over the top. Keep up the good work. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I think I should own up to being partially responsible for the thinking behind DET forum shutting down. So I deserve credit for the volume of posters here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it was more down to just being at the top in Google which helped to be honest. Pretty sure that's how I ended up here after DET shut. Also went on FootyMad for a while, but the place was absolutely barking mad. This place was run a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raich Carter Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I was on Ramslist before forums were a thing then wrote the code for the original rams.co.uk before CMS’ and off-the-shelf web software was a thing. Then came up with the idea for the original rams.co.uk forum. I nearly took over the forum when DET wanted out but wasn’t sure I could commit the time as others have to manage it properly. I can’t remember half the stuff that went on over the years. Basically I’m old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerTedd Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I was a refugee from DET. No real decision making process, just that this one popped up first on google. i think it’s benefited from a bit of incredible foresight / luck: - A google freindly name, that actually makes it sound like the official forum (which is probably why Derby county had an issue with the logo at one point, I miss the temporary replacement logo, it was cool). - choosing a platform that has evolved into clearly the best forum platform around (I know how this can definitely more luck than judgement, you just have to back a horse, but if you pick the wrong one, it’s an absolute nightmare to switch platforms). those twists of fate, along with @David’s hard work, and ability to jump on the opportunities that arose, all contributed. ps I miss Daveo, whatever happened to that guy?
