Steve How Hard? Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 5 minutes ago, JakeDCFC said: Interesting, I wonder why he would lie about that. If something came up and he seriously couldn't make it u might as well tell everyone beforehand since that would be pretty annoying to get no showed like that. I do plan on making a trip out to Derby in a couple years, hopefully by then I can meet with some of the people on here and actually show up unlike him lol. It was a strange one and only he can explain his train of thought. I presume it was ruled out that there was a genuine reason for his no show. @David is probably the best one to fill in the blanks but I suspect he probably can't go into too much detail.

Van der MoodHoover Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Welcome Jake, always good to welcome new folks. I think the joining ritual has remained unchanged since i joined the forum in 2010. Basically you're expected to score a few points by infringing some of the many random forum norms that are enforced by David and his private militia of jackbooted moderators. Then join in some random punning, tolerate i-ram sniping from the comfort of his leatherette recliner and generally muck in. At the moment we're all wetting our pants because in our UK version of the draft (called the "transfer window") we have not yet done any deals so we barely have a team to put out. Hence we're dividing into pro and anti-Warne camps and in the early skirmishing staging before all out civil war. Think Trump and MAGA but with warm beer and funny english accents. Enjoy....🤣 Dordogne-Ram, Kathcairns, BatRam and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

i-Ram Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Quite surprised that @HuddersRam and @loweman2 haven’t been on to sell anything yet. Come on Lads, that American market is vast and you have a possible distribution gateway here. HuddersRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the read was quite enjoyable, and I didn’t need the 🤣 on this occasion to know what you wrote was supposed to be witty. However, this post is neither to snipe at, or praise, you. It’s just to let Jake know that I am not over keen on Americans, but I will give him a fair chance. Have a nice day y’all.

Steve Bloomer The Baseball Ground Brian Clough & Peter Taylor Kevin Hector Dave Mackay Roy McFarland Igor Stimac The Bald Eagle (Jim Smith) David Clowes Then for balance, to understand the true resilience of Rams fans in adversity, look up: Robert Maxwell The Three Amigos Mel Morris Quantuma If you are still determined to be an honorary overseas Ram after that lot, you're as crazy as the rest of us!

We don’t tend to talk about John Harkes these days though Not incredibly knowledgable on the MLS ironically enough, but if Derby ever want to shop in Liga MX I'm the man to come to for info haha SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramit Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 As a an overseas Derby fan of fifty something years i say welcome Jake, you must be mad. Our extra cool badge also drew me in, but it is bait Jake and now you're hooked for life, but fear not, you will learn to love the pain. There is no better club to support in England, it is an honor and privilege to be a fan, in a masochistic sort of way.

FindernRam Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Welcome Jake. A slight warning: Brits have a well developed sense of irony and sarcasm in their humour which I know from long experience often completely passes Americans by and can be read as an insult. So never take as malice that more easily explained by cultural divergence. It's just banter! JakeDCFC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing a lot about how I must be crazy or mad, and honestly I may be haha. But for the short time I have already been on this website I have had a lot of fun interacting with other fans, and I'm happy I chose Derby, even if it comes with lots of pain from time to time lol. ramit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the warning, thankfully I myself tend to be quite sarcastic and I have experienced a lot of banter from some of my British friends I have made so I think I'll fit right in haha.
