Bubbles Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Now I know that everyone hates snakey. But tomorrow is about more than that. There’s going to be a big thing in memory of Jim Smith tomorrow, and we all know that Rowett was a big part of that squad. I’m sure Gary will be feeling upset about Jim, just like us lot. and I know its a huge thing to ask but I hope that everyone lays off the hate and the abuse towards him tomorrow. Some things are bigger than hatred, and lets give Jim Smith the thank you he deserves. All together as one, lets sing Jim’s name loud and proud and lets try lay off the hostility tomorrow (towards Gary not Millwall) Come on you rams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViewsFromTheMiddle Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Personally never hated him for leaving anyway. Was sick to death of his football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Since it all went tits up for him at stoke he's more a figure of fun than hate. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Why would anybody hate Rowett? Come to think of it, why would you hate anybody unless they've done something to harm either you or the people you care about? I dislike certain politicians, sports people and "celebrities" but I certainly don't hate any of them. As far as I'm concerned, Rowett is just another manager who also used to be the manager at Derby. I shan't cheer or clap him but neither will I boo or shout abuse at him. There might be an element of banter (nothing wrong with that. Controversial maybe but, surely you're not expecting us to sing about our love and respect for Jim [of which I have plenty] for the whole 90 minutes?) but certainly nothing close to hatred is justified.

SaintRam Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 No-one should hate him. He made a decision that some could say was a bit of a slight, that he now regrets. We weren't going anywhere with him anyway. That being said; football fans exaggerate all feelings for the purposes of atmosphere so I don't begrudge the fans making noise at his expense.

europia Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I don't hate Rowett. He's still a young manager and learning. Many fans complained vocally about his style of football, and then bitch about him when he leaves. So I don't quite get that. I think GR could at some point get a championship club promoted.

Pleased it's not just me ! It hurt when he left , honesty more than when Frank went ! Banters banter though !

Marriot Ram99 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I think Cocu is more likely to get booed than Rowett at this stage to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely had some great times under him. I had just turned 18, and was going to pretty much every away game for the first time as we stormed up the league table. It helped that it was around Christmas, and we were singing ‘I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas’ as we smashed Barnsley at Oakwell. I really did think we were going up at that point. I know I joke about missing him, but I really did enjoy his time here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Didn't want him here and when he does, I'm happy he is on the opposition dugout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePrisoner Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 I think the reception toward him may be a bit muted tomorrow if it was any other week and if we had been performing as well. But as others have said, a big send off for Jim with some big names from our clubs past and Rowett too. Or not. I dunno. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Tomorrow is about Jim Smith and his vast contribution to our football club. Gary Rowett was part of that as a player and should be treated as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 It's a wierd one, if you ask me after a skin full I'd say "I bloody hate Rowett, he is a snake". Thing is, he is 1 of our own. I enjoyed him as a player. I wasnt fond of his football, but he got us to the playoffs. The second leg against Fulham was bizarre and I still say he desperately wanted us to lose to make it easier to leave for Stoke, because that's easier for me to stomach than believing Rowett thinking we could defend for 120 minutes of football and get to Wembley. If I met him in a pub I'd happily sit down with him and have a pint, talk about football, share stories and ask him why on earth didn't we take it to Fulham second half at their place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 I couldn't really care less either way about Gary Rowett but I am looking forward to seeing Steve McClaren and Paul Simpson tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
