This cut makes sense, although I have no hard feelings when it comes to Mac. Would be happy for him to be involved in the club again in the future when we're in better circumstances

Soon by the look of it.

A few ‘where’s Wally’ competitions.

I don’t feel sorry for him, I’m sure he’ll be paying his bills ok 

He will be back as Rammie in the near future , don’t worry.  

Thought they did a grand job of getting pole position for today.

I wonder when he will be back again.

Maybe why he would not sign for us it is a shame really if he knew Derby fans in a different light maybe he would have done.

Quite right. I was in the away end yesterday and refused to join in any of the Billy Sharp songs but sang all the others. I actually like Billy Sharp and wish he’d signed for us in the past. We’ve played them twice this season and lost by the odd goal both times, both scored by Billy Sharp.

From all Derby fans that we are sorry what was sung to you yesterday unfortunately some people drank to much and lost all scences but does not excuse it what so ever. And if that has upset your family it is same here or sheffield untied support please do not judge all Derby fans with same brush.

In a way I am semi serious. Gibson tends to part on good terms with managers. It must have been very special to win that pot. It’s foolish to think they wouldn’t have a great bond and had a chat or two. 

How’s this for a conspiracy theory. Steve Mac was Gibsons inside man. After all he gave Gibson his only trophy 

I think with Covid perhaps some older fans havent been going away so much so perhaps the younger fans who want to cause trouble are more concentrated together in away grounds so unacceptable songs perhaps get going more easily. Of course the majority of our young fans are funny and lovely, shouldnt be tarred with the same brush and are the lifeblood for the club going forward. Our away support has been so excellent it is real shame we are even talking about this. 

I was there also and me and my mates couldn’t understand it and didn’t partake in it and it was unfair on the player regardless of his history 

It’s absolutely rife. People were in and out if the toilets at the pub when England played the Czech Republic during the Euros and that was a Wednesday night. 
Got a couple of mates who are well into it and you’re probably looking at £100 for three grams. 
No more expensive than smoking, really.
Theres a MAJOR drugs issue in this country and football is just a reflection on that. 

It’s the reason I don’t go to away games any more. We had a problem with one of our young fans at Wembley and it’s totally put me off.

I often find myself feeling a bit uncomfortable with fans’ behaviour. I won’t let it stop me attending because if people like me stop going there’s no one to dilute the idiots. 

Been lucky enough to not hear the 2 mentioned in the original post by @DarkFruitsRam7but the Collymore song and the Rooney shxgs who he wants song make me cringe to my core. Toenail curling stuff. 
 
 

Went to Peterborough away and the doughty chant suddenly started coming out at the train station. I mean aside from the fact it’s extremely poor taste and disrespectful and shouldnt be sung full stop - I don’t understand why it’s suddenly come back out again now. 

Every club has them 
these sort of cretins arnt exclusive to Derby county, theyre just a small minority of our population sadly 
fortunately there are a lot more decent people in the world than there are these dheads 
they just tend to make the most noise in football grounds and social media 

Good post. Taking coke doesn’t instantly turn people into nobheads. Some people can handle it, some can’t. Just like alcohol, though I’d imagine a higher proportion of pre-existing nobheads take coke than drink alcohol.
I still think the distasteful chants are caused by young lads not knowing where the line is.

Sniffer dogs and pat downs are pretty much the only thing you can do but even then the dogs can be pretty inaccurate. They do work well as a deterrant though so very happy to hear they've started bringing them to games.
The sad thing is even if you made it impossible for these people to get coked up before and during games, they'd still be equally as unpleasant if not worse on just drink. They're just out their to look hard in front of their mates and act the fool with no regard for another fan's experience. Being a bell is part of the matchday experience to them.
It's not limited to football too. Just after uni I worked this minimum wage job, very physical low-skilled work. There were a few guys  there who on that sort of a salary would pay their bills and buy their essentials then pump almost all of what was remaining into coke. They'd turn up to a shift on the stuff and top-up throughout the day, honestly couldn't believe it. We really do have a problem with substance abuse in general in this country.

What about the working women, old folks and kids? 
I think the behaviour of some of these people is an insult to the "working man" you refer to. 

A few seasons back, caught the train from Notts for the Forest game. 
More fans than not were on the sniff, in full view of the many coppers also on board. 
It's little different for some of our fans, from what I've seen on Away days. 
Forget the movies where you see users chopping lines with a credit card and snorting through a bank note, it's far easier to take discreetly than that.

I wonder how many people have stopped attending because they no longer feel comfortable with the behaviour of some of our 'fans'.

It’ll be the cocaine they’re sniffing rather than alcohol
