Woodley Ram Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Just read the DT and apparently Mel was getting some nasty stuff on social media, we live in a free world it's fine to disagree with him but it should never be nasty or personal, like us he supports the Rams and wants the best, even if he didn't it's out of order. This is even worse than the booing , please stop both now ( yes I know both relate to a minority ) born a Ram, always Ram ( just like Mel) ps Mel please give Mac a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casio Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 People who participate in this behaviour are clearly a bit thick. Mel can't win, if we lose at the iPro and the team puts in a poor performance a chorus of boo's ring out with the radio Derby phone in full of doomsday scale predictions on the state of the players and the club. He makes a decision and try to brighten horizons and its determined he should never have sacked the manager and the club is a laughing stock. Is painful to listen to derby fans at times.

Brammie Steve Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I couldn't agree more. Them as can do, them as can't love to throw stones at them as can and do! Mel, Mac, and other movers and shakers expect a level of opposition but need support and encouragement. Derby County could be on the brink of great things but without a groundswell of support from 30,000 plus fans it will never bear fruit. Don't let a few doubters and hecklers spoil this exciting prospect. End of sermon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted McMinn Football Genius Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Social Media is the ideal platform for both keyboard warriors and Trolls, both equally rated as oxygen thiefs IMO. Chances are it's supporters of other clubs adding their vile opinions in the name of us "Rams for life" with their fake user names etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamsPolls Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 We all disagree on things. And i've seen far too many people on twitter gunning for Mel personally and that "be-heading" tweet was way too far. I mean if you look through my twitter, I like to have a pop at the club and have a laugh with funny pictures but threatening to kill someone is way to far. Hope that fans realise the fine line of banter and stupidity. Of course i'm the banter king so I know the line . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Happens Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Would love one of the abusers to be brave enough to post on here with their justification for doing it. Won't happen because if anyone says anything bad to them they will start crying and shout for mummy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 This sort of thing is terrible and the people who are doing it obviously don't have a very high moral standard. There is a right and wrong way to do things and shouting abuse at or sending abuse to people is clearly not the right thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Takes a pathetic person to go on twitter and abuse someone over something like this. I pity the sort that do it, that they have nothing better to do with their time. Sad really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I can imagine the divs slating Mel at the moment are the same bandwagon jumpers who splashed out on a season ticket when Schteve came back the first time. Tossers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Any form of abuse directed towards Mel is absolutely absurd imo, pathetic from some of our followers. Sure Mel may have made a few mistakes but he's a bloody good owner who cares about the club and has real ambition, he's hardly some dodgy three amigos esque owner dragging the club down for his own gain is he?!

jono Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 There are a lot of these people in the world. Most of them aren't clever enough to use social media but they are out there, lots of them. They are the cannon fodder used by extremists on the left and the right politically. They all have a simplistic view of life, are easily manipulated and answer to whichever part of their brain works on pure instinct. I honestly believe their higher functions are just not very developed. These are the people that rabble rousers rouse, they are the mob that gets whipped up. They get used for other people's agendas. They are dangerous and sad at the same time. On their own they are just as bad, just less effective. In short they are thick .. Dangerous, nasty, but thick. We need to keep them at a distance but they also need our help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derby blood Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 This is awful, and so cowardly , i don't always agree with Mel or people on this forum, but I would never sink so low, yes booing and abusing anyone connected with our great club is a sad individual, And needs to get a life. Now let's all get behind the players, the manager, the owner and everyone else at the club, and drive us onto victory against Leeds. Once a ram always a ram.

No rightminded high profile figure should even consider having any sort of social media account. They should be above all that. Just boneheads hurling abuse instead of maybe writing him a letter with constructive comments. Most probably can't write though so type instead. He should sue some of these people tbh.

Thing that does my head in is that they are quick to criticise but never do anything constructive or positive to help or get their point across. Its as if by calling someone a c**t they seem to think it has greater weight in making him take notice. The obsession some sections of our society have for using social media to post endless opinions, none of which ultimately matter is incredible. Is there really nothing else to do in life?

Pearl Ram Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I'm sure Sir Tim Berners-Lee didn't have these skanks in mind when he invented the internet, it's a shame it isn't skankproof but what can you do ? Maybe posting bile makes them feel good for a couple of seconds and gives them a temporary escape from their miserable existences, who knows ?

jono Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Getting angry and full of outrage is best left to the daily mail or the SWP gazette. Much much better just to ignore first and laugh next. Bullies and extremist take themselves so seriously that laughter and mockery is often the best weapon. That and normal folk raising their heads over the parapet and dismissing them.

Alph Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Not everyone on twitter is a bell end. But it's got to be 99%ish? It's basically a shooting range. You sign up to be a target or a shooter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
