Carnero Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I've never left early until last night. Last night I left on 80 mins. This morning I feel dirty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayram Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I can’t understand leaving after 20 mins - that smacks of childish petulance to me, but I’d have been gone by 70 mins last night because by then we looked like we could play till midnight and not score.

I understand some people leave a few minutes early for health reasons but leaving on 20 minutes is ridiculous. No game is ever decided that early. I chose not to go last night, the second time this season I have chosen not to when it's been on sky. I didn’t go due to working away, I could have changed my plans and attended if I tried. It could be argued that even going for 20 minutes is giving them more support than I choose to when making that decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 36 minutes ago, Boycie said: Sorry for the youngsters terminology in the title. But, on Radio Derbys post match phone in a caller claimed he left on 20 mins. Now, he's entitled to, but what if he's with someone else, a kid maybe, does it breed this type of reaction into future supporters or even put them off completely? I was posting on another thread and said if you were to leave on 0-2 down on 20 mins wouldn't you at least give it until 10 mins of the second half? Whats the earliest you have left? Mine is about 70 mins against Reading this season, the first time ever. Never left early. i just assumed the RD caller was full of ****. Sorry. Employing hyperbole.

oldtimeram Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I used to leave at half time occasionally in the late 60s and early 70s when I had a swimming competition but that was the only reason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the guy on the radio asked him again, he even said it must be a record for leaving early. I came back from Holiday earlier to get to the game, I wished I’d stayed now.

Gritstone Ram Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Stayed until the end. Hard core me. I'll watch any old crap. I think it is up to the fans if they want to leave early. The weather wasn't great. The kick off time was rubbish. We had a bad day at the office. It wasn’t the best combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came back from Holiday earlier to get to the game, I wished I’d stayed now. I heard him and he sounded quite proud of it. I don't think after 20 mins you could predict was was going to happen. I think he took a gamble and it paid off so he rang radio Derby to tell everyone. After the initial 'left after 20 mins' he sounded quite reasonable where as I thought he was going to be a right knob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrisoner Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I left early last night for the first time ever purely down the rain coming in to the west stand. If we’d still be 1-4 down and it’d have been dry I’d have stuck it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I never leave early whatever the result....my view is that the result is rarely the players fault but they deserve our support even if they do **** up or are badly coached. The manager deserves to hear our displeasure at full time though and I can't pass that on if I'm not there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Key clubber Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Whatever time a supporter decides to leave should have no bearing on a game . I was leaving just as Keogh decided he’s suddenly turned into a rabbit in headlights again, and passed possibly the worse pass I have ever seen . And believe me I’ve seen some sh*#e. I wonder if he saw me leaving and this was his payback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 58 minutes ago, Angry Ram said: Did once way back when we were 0-2 down to Cov. About 85 mins if I remember rightly and we drew 2-2. Never done it since. Me and my son left early for this one too... i have left early loads of times and can’t think of one time I regretted it. Also spent many a second half in the concourse talking about work, life, kids etc with my mates who i didn’t see from one game to the next rather than watching the drivel being served up on the pitch.

We could have Pep, Ghandi, Mother Theresa, Steven Hawkins, Jesus, Brian Clough, Bob Paisley and Alex Ferguson all coaching that lot and they would still find new and interesting ways to totally f it up...!

A Ram for All Seasons Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I have only left early once and that was so that I could throw up, because of something I ate and not due to the quality of the football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't help that I'm just getting over the flu and I was the only one left in three rows - totally Billy-no-mates. I finally departed on 84 minutes.

Leicester Ram Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 Left after Vydra skied our best chance of the second half, even if we’d got it back to 3-3 I’d have been unhappy with a point. I’m still in Birmingham at the moment, so the chance of avoiding a busy night of travelling where I wouldn’t get back home until 11:30 was worth it. Got home by 10:30 instead, caught up with my mate who’d been away on tour and as soon I sat down on the train I saw it was 4-1 anyway. No shame in it, I dedicate a lot of time to Derby but last night really was a ******* waste of my time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
