munsterrams Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 hi all Rams fans just heard recently that there was some curse put on the club by some gypsy a long time ago and just want to know if this is true Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North East Ram Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It is / was true - as in it's part of Derby folklore. BBG built on a gypsy site etc etc. The so called curse was apparently lifted before the cup final when we won in 46. There's chapters and chapters written about it. About as true and real as Derek Acorah's integrity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Also heard the same and it provides a good reason why we have not gone up and also our bad luck. You may laugh but look at the curse of Benfica where they have failed to win many European cup finals since the curse. Search up the Benfica curse if you are interested to find out more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ossieram Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 I've also heard that the tooth fairy has been made redundant in Nottingham due to the lack of teeth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Search up the Benfica curse if you are interested to find out more just my opinion but i'd say it doesn't provide a good reason why we haven't gone up. Since the 'curse' we've gone up every time we've been relegated except this time. And i bet we go up at some time. We've also won this division a few times. More importantly, we've won the 1st Division twice, The FA Cup and Charity Shield. Not exceptional but not too bad for a club with a supposed curse. I've read about about the Benfica curse. It's a good story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the gypsy who did the curse on us long ago had children and their children continue to haunt us till today? Ooo spooky.

TroyDyer Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 A curse is only nonsense if none of the players believe it. If they do put stock in it, the curse can work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe that even if a professional footballer in the 21st century believe that a curse was put on the club it would affect their performance. I don't believe in such superstitions and just in case they are true I have my lucky rabbits foot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 No time for this garbage - busy here waiting for a fat bloke in a red suit with a white beard to appear down I chimney I don't possess bearing sacks of free gifts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 The FA cup curse, we still won it though. Anything else is purely down to us being crap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
