Matchday Thread: Rams v Coventry.

I don’t know if that really is Ramondo and I’m not playing that game other than to say, hope it is, hope you stick around and I agree with that very sensible post.

I'm quite happy to take anyone on here at face value!
His post on the other thread together with this one are both sensible and informative and I have no reason to doubt their genuineness.
More of the same please, Ramondo, it's great hear from you.

Hmmm, did you take exception to some mention of you being occasionally ‘juvenile’ earlier in the week?

They were very careful what they allowed about Mel. Mel was a lurker on there and would have a direct line if someone posted something that he considered was on dodgy ground.

I have no issue with B4 , he was a very passionate individual who lived for Derby County, he had a lot of health issues and is no longer with us. He was popular and rightly so.

I'm actually banned over there, in my opinion unfairly so but that's a long story.

Looking back I think it was B4 (Bevis) who made DCFC Fans of any interest to me. His enthusiasm for the Rams was infectious and he conveyed this in his posts in his own special way.

I agree with GP there is a inner clique that control the forum, I think it's success lies solely in its name which gives it an air of being the 'in place' for Rams fans.

If you like it fair do's, I don't!

I'm not sure where the suspicion comes from about posters identities. I was a moderator on here for a couple of years and I never had any way of accessing other users account details, and neither did the site admin, Bloomer. I think, if memory serves correctly, that the closest we could get to was being able to look at someone's IP address, which was helpful when trying to find banned posters using another alias. Cactus was often trying that one. But I think it's highly unlikely anyone at site level (or even higher) would be able to effectively take over someone's user account, it would through up some serious ethical issues!
So if the Rattea account has posted then it is someone logging in externally with his user details and password. Also, I know Rattea, haven't seen him for a few years in person but we are both in the same Rams WhatsApp group and I'm pretty sure he's said he still posts occasionally 👍

No, simply noting obsequious nature of your post

Lol. Perish the thought that someone might actually say something positive.
I have long thought that the likes of Ramondo, and two or three others (eg van der laan, Stenson, Bloomer, Ella) are/were beneficial for the forum and that their departures were a big loss.
If you think saying that is me being ‘obsequious’ then you’re quite simply wrong.

B4 - aka Daniel Beavis. A much troubled young man with a HUGE love of DCFC. Various health issues which eventually killed him at 38. Various mental issues as well as chronic dyslexia. He found it difficult to get a job due to his problems and his dyslexia made it hard for him to put a CV together. I "met" him on the old East Midlands Collective forum and soon started to help him put together a CV. That role was taken over by Elaine Dean as she was closer to him, geographically. He got a job at a cinema and was happy in his life. His positivity was infectious.

Any idea what happened to Bloomer Ramondo, after the flirtation with the unmentionable site?
It's not V I T A L to know but it would be welcome.
Thanks.

Well shopping 5 against Coventry doesn't look so bad in the light of QPR letting in 5 to them by half time
