Chester40 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Pantomime villain is the right phrase. Bloody enjoy yourselves people. I supported him till the end and then he just left without really explaining why. Except he left for a richer club offering more money and a bigger budget. Do I accept its fair enough? .probably...but I reserve the right to feel slighted, especially after all the sweet nothings and the history we shared. So I will boo and jeer him and he will lap it up and smugly applaud us if he wins. If we win it will make it all the sweeter. If I bumped into him in a pub I would talk football and probably find him a decent bloke...much the same has been said for Lee Camp. When all is said and done its 11 random blokes with no real allegiance to my city trying to kick a bag of air into a net more times than 11 other random people. None of it makes sense really...but we buy into the theatre, the drama, the atmosphere and it becomes the centre of the world. Just enjoy it for what it is...a bit of fun, with an edge that makes it mean a lot more than it should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philmycock Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'm gonna set up a snake stall outside the away end, right next to the bloke selling half & half scarves, gonna make myself some wonga ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 And in all fairness, Rowett’s team talk will probably be ‘come on lads, do me a favour and don’t let them mug me off’ and they’ll probably beat us. His own son has been known to call him ‘The Snake’, get over yourselves, it’s a joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimRam Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Should be cheering Rowett. Took us to the playoffs (lets face it, a good achievement) and got Frank/Jody here + 2m (so probably paid for Mount and Wilsons loans). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better to show him how happy we are with his replacement and what we are now seeing on the pitch. Think the only thing that would make abusing him good is if the Stoke fans joined in. ?Getting sacked in the morning! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been some convoluted analogies so far...so here's my own version. Its like you're cycling along and some careless driver on the way to a job interview recklessly cuts you up and takes you out. You're rushed to hospital to get checked out and they discover nothing is actually damaged.... but the scan reveals you have a growth around your heart that needs operating on or it could be fatal. You're rushed into surgery and come round from the operation and the young dashing surgeon explains he not only saved your life but the slimy growth they discovered was restricting your development to such an extent you should feel fitter, faster and younger than ever before the operation. At this point the salesman who cut you up finally arrives having failed the interview for the job (he was late as he sneaking out of his current job). Your family are all sat round comforting you ....and he hears the news and expects them to jump up and thank him!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do do realise that he’s going to love the attention don’t you? No you probably don’t. The best thing we could do is just ignore him and support our players and manager that are here now, but I guess that’s not going to happen. And you just know that when they’ve beaten us 1-0, he’ll bend over, brush a little mud off his trainers, straighten his jumper, give us a smug little wave and disappear down the tunnel. Probably best you don't go . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robglosta Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Do you not think calling him a snake makes us sound bitter (and almost be longing for him back)? I get the ‘joke’ element, but I think the snake analogy does us more harm and him more favours to be honest. The football under Rowett was hideous, we should call him an angel for being taken away from us with such amazing swiftness - carving a pathway for frank.

I think I prefer the real version. or you could have mine.... you met this bird in a bar who you started dating for a few months and in that time, she never really gave the climax that she promised. Luckily she was blind and went off with her Labrador which opened up the door for the girl of my dreams. We’ve only been dating for 6 months but already the saxophone has been blown so loud, many times. And the good news is, I think there’s more to come. We get married in May 2019.

I don't think anyone will be taking it seriously enough to do us (or GR) any harm or favours. Let folk just have a bit of fun and don't try and over think it. Derby fans will have a laugh, Stoke fans will probably think it's silly and sing "what the ****ing hell is that?" and, assuming he even notices, it will be water off a snakes back for GR. No harm done all round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ossieram Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Having a pop at Rowett is just a bit of fun and one of the many things football fans have always done to either get a rise from the opposition fans or to try and get under the skin of the opposition team or staff. God knows how some people would have reacted to some of the chants coming from the mainly working class blokes stood on the popside when things like the Cleveland sex scandal became public knowledge.

I have always wondered if footballers actually had any sentiment for clubs they support growing up when playing professionally I always said as a kid i could never play a game against Derby, but ask me now?.... I'd happily celebrate by shushing the South Stand if somebody was paying me a few grand a week ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
