jimbobram Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Im sure some of you have seen the video of the disabled Derby fan being bullied by a NFFC fan for wearing a Rams shirt in Nottingham. A just giving page has been created to buy him as much Derby stuff as he wants. https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/lets-do-good?utm_term=RY4vpvPA2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therams69 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Was a shocking horrible video and nothing short of bullying a vunerable person. However, taking the football side out of it, to me this just shows us the shameful side of our society. It wasn't so long ago we saw something similar in a vunerable homeless man having a kebab thrown in his face on a night out in Derby. Seen a fair few Forest fans up in arms about it and why wouldn't they be. I know we would be as well. Good to see a just giving page setup for him and I just hope whoever has setup it up is legit and knows the fella in question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It bought tears to my eyes, as did the homeless man video. The look on the poor lads face as he is trying to explain why he is wearing a derby shirt. Good to see Forest fans condemning it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Absolutely disgusting behaviour. Don't know how this idiot thought it would be a good idea to record this. I don't believe giving the poor lad money is the answer though. This justgiving trend for absolutely everything doesn't sit right with me. Get him VIP tickets for a match for sure, but don't get the logic of trying to raise £1,000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Agree with @therams69 Society is horrific at times. I still remember the idiots who were shouting at a suicidal young lad who’d just come out to jump from car park on Intu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could get sledged for saying this but I agree, there's certain things that don't require a monetary reward. Don't get me wrong, what the lad went through is terrible but surely a VIP day out would perk him up more and create lasting memories better than a grand sitting in his bank account. From what I've seen on Twitter the ticket office were going to be getting in touch, and a chap had offered to buy him a new shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coneheadjohn Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Club and staff are all over this,lad will be well looked after I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronRam 140.6 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I know the family involved and the young lad very well. I amongst others, alerted them to the vid being online and put a few of the more civil Forest fans/supporter groups, who were offering support on various boards - financial or otherwise, in touch with the family. His name is Charlie btw, he is a lovely lad. A six and half foot 8 yr old basically, and its not difficult to work that out when you meet him. Thankfully it doesnt look like he knows what is happening to him, which is one small shread of good (if you can call it that) I suppose. From what I know, everyone involved has been top notch from both teams. Just got to hope the toe rag owns up sooner rather than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 From what i seen on Twitter KP at the ticket office is sorting him out for tonight, Curtis Davies is getting him a new shirt, another fan is getting him a scarf and hat, and Jody Morris was asking about him too. Fair play to forest fans as well calling the guy filming it a ****, which he is. More good in the world than bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoetheRam Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Fair play to Forest on this. Hopefully the pondlife that made the video has the book thrown at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Fair play to Forest. I do a lot work for charities at homes of special needs Derby and Forest supporters, for some it’s the one thing they love and show great support for through thick and thin. They don’t see the hatred some fans have for each other come match day. I hope they find out who did this and is made accountable for his or her actions.

Ghost of Clough Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 I can’t imagine how his grandfather must have felt when he found out about it after he “let him go into a shop alone, to develop his independence” Hopefully the lad and his family get the last laugh tonight.

Comrade 86 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 This kind of stuff, despicable as the perpetrators typically are, is too often used to create divides between opposing fans who would never dream of behaving is such a manner themselves. I'm really pleased to see so many NFFC fans condemning the video and all those who have also added to the JustGiving pot of cash. Not sure why folk are opposed to the page myself - doubtless those responsible for caring for the lad and Charlie himself will get some enjoyment from the money and I hope that'll mean a few good days out at Pride Park at the very least. As for the so-called fan responsible - what a prize tit. Hopefully he'll be named and shamed ASAP as I'd doubt he'll be man enough to publicly apologise for his actions. A public shaming is the very least he deserves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibby Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Saw the video made me sick to my stomach!! Absolutely no need for it at all hope the individual is caught and prosecuted! https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/8000231/moment-footie-fan-calls-vulnerable-derby-county-rival-inbred-in-sick-taunts/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sith Happens Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 For it to get online someone knows who the scumbag is. Surely can't be that difficult to trace it to its source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Imagine thinking that your posting something that people will laugh at but then the whole world turns against you. This scumbag will get exactly what he deserves and by the sound of it, from his own supporters. Hope somebody films that for everybody to see.

Ramslad1992 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Absolutely disgusting... one of my best mates is a red and showed me it, he felt that bad he put £20 quid in... banter is one thing but that’s just pure cruel... hope the lad gets everything he deserves and the twits that did it get what they deserve too.
