IslandExile Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Amongst all the excitement, was wondering why Colin Gibson wasn't doing the "Welcome to Derby" interviews.... @Charlie George says "Gibbo's Facebook says he's former head of communications at DCFC and temporarily retired." Say it ain't so @Owen87ITK. And is "temporarily retired" the same as furloughed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePrisoner Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 He hasn't done them for a while anyway. Like a couple of years for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Maybe working at the Rams (or media in general) is the equivalent of being temporarily retired? How do I get such a retirement gig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Have you tried looking at his LinkedIn account? As you can cyber stalk him more effectively on there for a truer career update. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I have never liked the idea of LinkedIn. It seems to be too much like work! I would sign up to Retirement-In. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Tram Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Although, I had a period off work during lockdown, and it was awful. Beforehand, I dreamed of having time off work, but the reality wasn't much cop. Maybe I'm not ready for Retirement-In, and should give LinkedIn a go. I'm not sure I'm up for using LinkedIn for stalking though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can chortle as you look at one of you colleague or ex colleagues profile as you see how they have embellished their work achievements or career history. Or spam unsolicited messages to random contacts selling your crappy product which is the cyber equivalent of cold calling double glazing sales. See how the internet has progressed us, it's fantastic.

As someone already mentioned, he did the post-match interviews on Saturday, and he’ll be at Rotherham for us tonight. He’s also done a couple of RamsTV meets over the last few weeks. The Facebook page is correct in that he isn’t head of comms anymore, but he hasn’t been for a good few years due to various restructures etc. Hasn’t retired yet though!

Mucker1884 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Have they gone back to travelling to away games to do the commo live from the gantry? I seem to recall they didn't travel a few weeks ago, and used monitors to do the commo from Derby? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Gibbo has done very well for himself considering he never actually asks questions. It’s a peculiar interview technique, usually leads to the more shy interviewees or foreign lads not really knowing what to say or giving a bland stock response.

For various pandemic/technical reasons we’ve also done a lot of Pride Park games from inside off monitors too. Radio Derby aren’t travelling to away games either at the moment.

Ratpackram Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 He's shocking as an interviewer. He actually tells them the answer to his question and leaves them with no other answer than yes or like a certain former captain of this club ...

Yes, I was referring to Radio Derby. I have clearly got my commo teams mixed up, and made myself look very silly indeed! On the plus side, I have just been quoted by @Owen87ITK, so I am still very much putting this down to being a great day! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 @Owen87ITKas it appears that you now have the copyright over the immortal 'welcome to Derby' line, could you please check your diary and let us know if you have anyone going by the name of Khalid bin Sultan bin Zayed Al Nahyan booked in for an interview?

" like you say " I've always assumed that's a deliberate ploy so the subject doesn't go off script and say anthing the club media wouldn't really want them to be saying. "So, the deal is over the line and you're glad to be here and looking forward to pulling on a Derby shirt....?" prompts a nice safe "yes of course" and it'd be hard to have to go "no, i'm right fed up, i was looking somewhere else that was offering more money to but politics meant i couldn't get that deal and I've ended up with you mugs" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
