Tyler Durden Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 (edited) I saw that article earlier today on the BBC website and cba to post it as when you actually read the content there seems to be a load of kerfuffle about one person's tweet saying women at PP are glued to their phones during the match (in their opinion).

CBRammette Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Perhaps the title of thread could be changed to "Lack of sexism at PP". Been attending matches since 83/4 - never witnessed any sexist behaviour at any matches. All this from one idiot on twitter?

Mucker1884 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 One person? One Tweet? That leads to "Sexism at Pride Park"? Wow! Derby4Me, Tamworthram, jono and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 It’s old farts like me that contribute to the lack of atmosphere. I played the game for a while and I’m so engrossed in what’s going on that I barely breathe let alone shout. I do join in with the clapping parts of South Stand chants. Fairly typical East Stand fan, me.? David Graham Brown, archram, jono and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I saw the original tweet and barely thought it was worth getting a reaction. the irony is that probably more young lads are there filming to try and get reels of ‘limbs’ 48 hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram-Alf Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 I sit in the South West Upper, 4 young lads around 11-13 age group with an adult, Dad watches the game, The lads are on their phones either texting or playing games, The old man behind them is either watching the game or watching them?

Leeds Ram Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 It's not news... it's one fan who has made a silly tweet. You're going to get idiots in any society, and I'm not sure why the BBC would bother amplifying this. I know they've had the guts ripped out of their news division, but still, it's poor reporting. ariotofmyown and 48 hours 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you must have been wearing ear plugs at the Baaseball ground in the 80's as there was a chant of "get your tites out for the lads" at every game. Don't hear anything remotely sexist now.

ram59 Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 This article is typical of what passes as modern journalism these days. It wouldn't be very difficult to find a tweet that, is sexist, racist, fatist, etc. Does it reflect the general atmosphere in the ground, no. Were there any chants about our first female referee, no. On the contrary, there was nothing but praise on here Unfortunately, the BBC are no better than the rest of the gutter press Tamworthram, Kathcairns and Dordogne-Ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oodledoodle Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 The tweet did get a fair bit of pushback from Derby fans, when it was posted. Whoever posted it is a bit of a berk isn't he. If he thinks a good atmosphere is only being suppounded by men, I have a few nightclubs I can recommend to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
