Not forgetting we were Texaco cup winners and the Quiz Ball Champions. Beat that. Slight correction, 74/75 we never made the Semi Final, lost to Leeds in the 5th Round, season after, 75/76 was the Semi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 In 71-72 we won the league AND the Central league which meant we had the finest first and reserve team in the country. We had a manager who was constantly on the telly. An assistant manager with an uncanny ability to spot latent talent. (spot the anagram!) The finest set of supporters in the world. Forget swinging London, the BBG was where it's at! In 2019 we still have a great set of supporters. Keep the faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Our support is very good & is often quoted by neutral fans when talking about our club. Yes, the atmosphere at PP can be nervy but that's more a consequence of being so close to going up. If we'd finished bottom 6 last year, the place would seem very different. When we're chasing games or playing good stuff, the atmosphere is very good indeed. On the flip side, our songs lack originality & we're missing that signature club song. Away support can be excellent but if we're not doing well, numbers can be variable outside of a 50 mile radius of Derby. p.s. can't believe anyone believes 2013-18 have been the most competitive/most exciting 5 years of our post war history. 1985-90, 1995-2000 and of course any 5 year period from 1967 to 1976 were clearly superior Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WestKentRam Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Just back from my annual trip to Arsenal, in the home crowd against Palace, and I can safely say Derby fans are amateurs at negativity. The boo-ing of Xhaka when he was substituted and his reaction to this, the singing for Ozil who wasn't even on the bench, and the continual moaning about all aspects of play made it a special afternoon. Every time I go to the Emirates it makes me appreciate what we have at Derby. We ain't that bad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaints about lack of atmosphere, getting on certain players backs, booing, general moaning and such like. We have the third highest attendances in the League. Higher then at least 6 Premier Clubs. Given the size of our city, we attract probably one of the highest percentage attendances of the people available. These people do not show up week after week , season after season, to perform some masochistic self flagellation (not in West stand at least missus!). They go to be entertained and support the team, actually in recent years entertainment has been pretty dire, so it has to be to support. Because it is not cheap, fans are entitled to want to express emotion, good or bad, and in a football ground it is a good place to blow off steam which may be nothing to do with the footy. Years ago in the Normanton stand the bloke behind used to be yelling non stop from kick off to final whistle, often derisory, and this in the Champions era. Turned out he was an Undertaker! A week of sombre dealing with the dead, Saturday it all came out. Watching Sky its pretty clear many clubs have negative minded supporters so I don't think we're that bad. As good or bad as other clubs. But sarcastically applauding our keeper when he makes a catch is embarrassing. No noise midweek matches too. Atmosphere is pretty flat at moment. FootBall is poor though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IslandExile Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The support at Hull - sadly I don't get to many games nowadays - was fantastic apart from: the ironic cheering of Roos catching the ball how quiet they went, with some leaving, when the Rams went a goal down.

Will Hughes Hair Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I'll accept it may have been different on Saturday (I wasn't there) but am I alone in thinking that the supposed sarcastic applause for Roos is being over-exaggerated? It certainly appeared to be just a few halfhearted and isolated hot spots against Wigan last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It certainly appeared to be just a few halfhearted and isolated hot spots against Wigan last week. I was in the main stand - I was with friends including someone who works for Hull. The friend next to me, who was over from the UAE and not that familiar with all of Derby's current "issues", turned to me and said "That sounded like they were mocking by applauding the catch made by the goalie". It was loud enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I think Derby fans are just desperate for some positive signs of progress. It's a frustrating time paying money to watch during a transitional phase. We have a back five of a goalkeeper who is roundly criticised, two full backs out of form, a nervous loanee and a gnarled old pro who's unsuited to the modern game. Scarcely a platform for free flowing, risk-taking football. We can scream and shout in frustration or we can appreciate it's tough for the team right now and do our bit to help. I'll be there on Saturday cheering the good bits and biting my lip in the not so good bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
