But sadly I dont think it is going to change any time soon. Thing is few idouts think big and clever but it is not and because of them we all get judge as the same but we are not.
Hence why I post sorry to billy sharp and his family and there fans to try patch it up with try repair the dammage it has caused.

Horrible chanting and behaviour at football happens at virtually all clubs. Horrific chanting etc has often happened at Derby just like other teams. It’s a social problem, a football problem and a cultural one where it’s ok to abuse people because it’s football. Unsurprised if sections of Derby fans were singing awful things towards Billy Sharp (no idea if it happened as I wasn’t there). 

Derby are disliked now because of the assumption of cheating. Whether that has happened or not it says something about football that UEFA are letting off super league powers like Juventus for starting a breakaway league but Derby could be fined loads of points due to accountancy policies. 

So me and raich are wrong, dont recall the numerous interviews myself, but what do i know.

The Rooney chant at every game is an absolute embarrassment. The man has a wife, kids, a family. Absolute disgrace our own fans are singing that about our own manager.
And yes, the Billy Sharp thing is equally bad. The problem is these drunk, young, probably drug fuelled idiots saw a viral video of the West Ham fans singing this about Ronaldo and they are that original and funny, thought they'd sing it about 'insert ex Forest player here' at our next game.
They'll sing it again tonight I'm sure as a result of his reaction.
Which btw was absolutely fair enough, i'd have done the same. Again a man with family, wife, kids probably at the game having to listen to that? Grow up kids.

It seems everybody in this forum agrees that the is vile and embarrassing behaviour at Bramall Lane by some Derby fans was unacceptable.
Of course a few won't really, but I highly doubt they will have the guts to say so in here.
A lot of people are growing to dislike us as much as Leeds were disliked in the 70s (and ever since tbf) and other clubs at various times like Millwall, Man U and Hope Valley Under-15s. Although the last one may be more personal tbf.
What Morris has been doing it entirely out of our control, but what those around us do, isn't.
For example, if a particular abusive chants start up, the majority could respond with something counter.
I don't mean Kumbaya, although that may very well work, or Imagine by John Lennon, although that too may work, but something like 'your're knobs and know you are etc'
Not that, clearly, that's lame, but something agreed on.
Plus, if fans en masse started filming the morons on their phones and the word had been put out that they'd be reporting to the club and/or Police it may help.
Obviously, I don't want anybody getting hurt, so be careful. And I'm happy to hold somebody's coat at the back if required.
Back in Cornwall that is.
We have to make these people thoroughly unwelcome because whereas they may not care when they're high or drunk, they will be after and/or before.
What they are doing is often illegal, and in all seriousness, it is up to us to do something about it if it's to change.
I almost want to adopt Millwalls chant of 'Nobody likes us and we don't care' but I'd be lying, I do care and I'd like Derby to be admired and respected rather than despised and mocked.

The good old DET with another exclusive about nothing 

I assume this basically means any gardening leave period is over / any contractual restraints related to DCFC are now no longer applicable.
It didn't work out for him, but i've nothing but respect for the guy and I hope he has a successful time coaching back in Holland.

You will never convince me, time to move on i think, its all water under the bridge now anyway.

<sigh>I heard / saw him, numerous times, dodging the question. With my own eyes and ears - not via a Twitter quote. Maybe he said that near the end of the furore or something (IDC) but the damage was done. He dodged, used abstract terms and this language that does everything but convince the listener that they're answering with any integrity -  seems to be de rigueur these days. 
Ultimately, it's inarguable that he did not do a good job of distancing himself from the job as evidenced by the fact he apologised for the same when he came back!

Can we move on? 

I agree a foot in both camps you could say.

It's ridiculous that they get away with it. If there's one homophobic or racist word then they're out. If they look back at the CCTV and the match they can see who was singing or at least send the stewards in.
The mentality of these people is just so wrong I'd be quite happy for them to banned for life.

Puerile means "childish or silly". It's just referring to some of our chants in general, B4.
I think the sort of chants we are talking about are anything but childish. They are offensive. 

With the whole world (well, the Championship, and Leeds) apparently against us, what we do need is a siege mentality. Get home supporters at grounds we visit in awe of our support. Don’t give them an excuse to hate us any more with vile, puerile chants. 

I've been on Radio Derby plugging it, it's been mentioned on Twitter by Kieran Lee and the Punjabi Rams (that isn't a new band) with the latter declaring it their aim. The administrators have asked for an extra 5k in match tickets to be sold to help with costs and get a buyer. They have increased the ticket office hours after representation. 

Well done @sage on this. If we get a crowd of 20k for a midweek game against Reading I think that's a really positive turnout. They barely bring any on a matchday in normal times, so a midweek, fuel shortage etc, I imagine numbers will be similar to pre-season Real Betis fans!
As an awareness raising campaign and something positive, I think it's been a great idea. I've not listened to/seen any local media so don't know if it's been picked up by them.
There was no way on earth you'd ever fill PPS for this fixture, even if the club was giving tickets away. If we got 20k for Stoke on a Saturday, local game and they sold out their end, and we equal or better that tonight, that's a great effort by Derby fans.  

Persuade the Club to print them on loo roll ?? ?‍♂️

Ticket office open until kick off.. Common sense, at last.

No, he spent it all on paying off managers he'd sacked! ?

Maclaren seems to be like marmite, you love it or hate it??

I heard him avoiding the questions on the radio and TV. Don't give a monkeys what's quoted on Twitter.

one more thing on this…
it’s not even a good chant. It’s not smart, it’s not clever, it’s not at all accurate, it’s not original…it’s just tedious. 
 

Every time I've been to an away game I've left disappointed with some of our unsavoury fans. Didn't surprise me in the slightest to hear about this incident either. We have a large core of unpleasant fans that regularly attend away matches. 

He didn’t encourage it , it started before they were even in the ground. He had every right to react as he did. If people gave him such foul mouthed abuse in their workplace they would lose their jobs, why should a football ground be any different. He said as a footballer, he expects to get stick, but there is a line and it was definitely crossed.
