Sexydadbod Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I thought Villa fans were brilliant today and so were the Derby fans in the second half. The ipro was rocking after half time and everyone got behind the team. It's the best I have seen the ipro crowd since the 2014 play off semi final against Brighton. It clearly gave the players a bit more energy. Pearson kept encouraging the crowd to get louder too so he could see it had an effect. Let's keep this going folks, no more booing players, just get behind the team like we did today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 It's a difficult one. You pay your money, you deserve to voice your opinion. But does the booing help anything? Second-half, every stand was immense. But was that because the Derby team were finally giving us something to get excited about? Difficult to be enthusiastic when you watch the kind of football we offered up in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 One thing I couldn't get around was Villa fans signing about empty seats? What empty seats? 1.5k? I'm not knocking Villa's gates, but VP was regularly almost half empty last season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Tibbs Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I still can't fathom why a grown man (or woman) would "boo". Just "boo" and listen how ******* ridiculous it sounds. Grow up. The empty seats thing isn't Derby specific, they've been singing that songs for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 When brummies start stringing sentences together, I don't mock but applaud their pluck. Only last week I heard of a young man from Aston with matching shoes and I absolutely salute the advances they have made over the last few millennia.

TomBustler1884 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Today was such an improvement! A full away end played a role but it just goes to show, if the players can give us something, anything to shout about, we will get totally behind them! Newcastle game will need double that effort from the players, the fans, everyone. Hoping to announce something we are working on early next week, hopefully everyone will give it a chance and get involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should do that if they give something to cheer about or not. (Not aiming at you btw) Moaning and groaning will only have a negative effect. I want to see Tom Ince dance through players again. I've not seen it since he signed permanently. Its as if he doesn't have the confidence. We should be encouraging our flair players to go and do it again, not moan when it doesn't come off.

MrsRam Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I said today, in the second half - it's the team that gets the fans going. Should it be? well we've argued about it for years. Nobodys right, nobodys wrong - we should support - they should play better. It's both of our responsibility really I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of agree but there is an attitude thing ... Say Ince or Russell do a lung bursting run chasing a ball and just fail to control it with a final stretch of sinew .... Do we go .." Oooooo nearly" ... Or do we go "aghwrrrrr booo" .... We do feed each other but we have more of a choice in what we give them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bessie1 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 It's a virtuous cycle - players show some passion, we get behind them, they feel the love, they respond to encouragement, we encourage them more and so it goes. It's passion from the players that's the key - we sang the players off after failing to score again - so we're showing that it's not just the result - give us something to cheer about and we do. And yes the Villa fans were great - but they were venomous towards their own players last season so let's not imagine they always get behind their team either.

If we'd been playing a team from Royal Berkshire, Scotland or the wilds of Notts, I'd use the same crappy joke. I've lived in Brum for a few years and I haven't lived in Derby for 30 years, and happily take it on the chin with my mates up north about the perception of dour miserable Derby folk. Hang on a minute, that's not an urban myth is it? Us Derby folk actually are miserable grumpy bugguz who sound like extras from a Shane Meadows film.

After those that actually bothered turning up spent an entire season singing 'we're **** and everyone knows we are', they'll sing any old rubbish now they're not getting hammered every week. I'd also hazard a guess that now they are a big fish in a smaller pool as opposed to everyone else's whipping boys, they probably expect every fan at every Championship club to be breathless at the opportuity of watching them.

ram59 Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Some of us Brummies are intelligent, I support Derby, mind you that's not a good example, lol. Other fans do show their ignorance though by calling Brummies 'yamyams'. Yamyams are from the black country ie Wolverhampton area and speak with a different accent to us Brummies. Just thought you might like to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
