Sith Happens Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I agree booing is not a new thing, and clearly there are people on this forum who do boo and think its ok. You are right, its your right to voice your opinion, I just dont get it. As a set of fans this season we have booed, we have cheered the substitution of a player, we have booed his name when the team sheet is called, this a player who clearly lacks confidence so i dont see how any of this helps the situation in anyway. Despite the fact the players are paid thousands each week, it doesnt mean they wont be affected by negativity, if i was a player i would not look forward to playing in front of my own fans right now. I know the performances have been far from great, and we arent in a good place right now, but yesterday i felt there was no lack of effort or determination at all, there were signs of improvement, we were just beaten by a better more clinical team, if we repeat that effort tuesday i am sure the result will be positive. Up the rams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I don't even enjoy being part of our fanbase any more. It feels like us against the players, the manager and Mel Morris. It's hard work and I'm feeling totally pissed off with it. If I didn't have a ST I wouldn't go. I can listen to hours of moaning at work and I don't need more of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who you support costs nothing, it's a personal choice. who you applaud and who you boo is nothing to do with any body else it's a personal choice ! who you pay to watch is a personal choice. if people want to boo then it's got nothing to do with any body else. they paid to watch it so let them make up their own mind, what's it got to do with any body else ? to be honest as a paid up season ticket holder i haven't even noticed the boos, I'm more focused on what's happening on the pitch and asking myself why have we only scored one goal in six games ? thats more worrying than anybody booing ?

Bridgford Ram Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Do the people who complain about the booing really think it only happens at Derby? I don't boo Derby players but after watching a lot of what has been served up since Christmas, and the way the club is ran, I can see why people do boo.

Mr Tibbs Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Nevermind the reasons behind doing it, just think about the concept of "boo'ing". Still can't understand why anyone over the age of 5 would boo. Yet the grown men and women of Derby time and time again pull it out of the bag. It's pantomime stuff. Sad. Embarrassing. Childish. I miss going to the football but definitely don't miss our fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Booing your own players is stupid, and it helps no one, yes boo the ref, boo the opposition, but never boo your own team, I go to the football to support my team through thick and thin, I get so fed up with these idiot fans, who no nothing about the game, please please if you do not want to get behind DCFC, then please do not come, if it makes you boo your team, you must not be enjoying it, so do not come, and spoil, the game, right now we need all fans behind us, as I am sure with our support, things will get better, if you want to carry on booing ? do at down the A52 , at the city ground Nottingham, now that would help us.

Exactly, spot on on all of that, though the one caveat is that two or three who moaned and booed from first minute til last (regardless it seemed to what was happening on the pitch) last year really spoilt my enjoyment of going, to the point where I nearly stopped despite having season tickets. This season they seem not to be there, which is good. Only booing I heard yesterday was at the ref after a couple of odd decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sit in the middle of the west stand right near the directors box, we are a strange bunch often berated for being boring and not singing, but on the other hand we never boo, hence I can honestly say I have not hear much booing, if however you are like @VulcanRam and you have somebody sat yards away constantly being negative I can understand a lot of the comments on here and our vastly differing opinions on the subject. what stand are you in ? could this be the self proffesed holier than though South standees causing this rumpus ? Is that where the booing is coming from ?? The flag waving beating heart of our support ? Are they in fact fickle rib ticklers who only sing when we're winning ? who is doing the booing ? Let's have some video evidence posted !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymru Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 one thing we need to know about the pepole that boooing are they disapointed or are the passionate and i think it both and maybee the money the players get paid these days is sometimes to much for the performance that they give on the pitch on the weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They try their hardest and want to do well for the club. But some are on 20k plus and are breaking the wrong records again. Not only are they useless they are embarrassing. We are one of the highest paid clubs in terms of wages. And paid nearly 40 million pounds in transfer fees over the last few years. Burton are better than us and their record transfer is around 400k. Why do we always beak the wrong records of late. Lowest scoring English team, points in premier etc "They try their hardest and want to do well for the club" - well if that's what you want to think, you have every right to, although you then contradict those words in the rest of your post. In actual fact, there was much to be pleased with yesterday - to be so "on the front foot" from the kick-off was a complete surprise to most of us, as we expected the new guys to need a few games for everything to gell. I think we competed for probably 2/3 of the match, but then quite a large number of the team appeared to knock-off early. These guys aren't necessarily useless, it is that they are not as committed to the club as they ought to be. There is word from the training ground that there are quite a few players who are only there to milk their contract, and don't give a flying fig for the club, and that this attitude is there to be seen at the training ground, as well as on Saturday. And it was clear to see against Newcastle, and that is what was being boooed. There were players who were giving it their all - Anya, for one, ans Will Hughes was clearly frustrated when he was available for a pass, but the ball either went elsewhere or never reached him. What we need to ask is "how long before the free-loaders are sat on the bench or even left out of the squad to be replaced by those who do "give a damm"? And perhaps the players ought to be asking "What should we do to stop them boooing?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the booing at half time was for the ref turning down penalties. Dunno about booing a full time, I was on my way home by then. Yes. But the booooing was not only for the penalty shouts, but for an absolutely terrible refereeing performance. It is almost as though the refs are vying for worst display of the season, and yesterdays buffoon is ought on his own, well ahead of the rest of the match officials. He gave us virtually no decisions further forward than the centre circle. I expected him to be boooed back on for the 2nd half, but that never happened. But the boooing at the end was for the lack of effort for the last 20 or 30 minutes or so by a number of the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 People have a right to boo, but if they genuinely think it's helping, well, they're as thick as pigshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
