VulcanRam Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I don't think I've ever despised or hated anyone, let alone a football player that's represented my club as part of his job. Ramrob, BathRam72, The Scarlet Pimpernel and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worked hard for the team, had comedy value. He clearly didn't have 'zero talent' (although it was rather limited!) and at international level formed a good partnership with Robbie Keane. Funnily enough he'd probably have been the sort of player Warne would value. 17 minutes ago, oodledoodle said: Agree on Keogh. He suffers from McFarlandism. Any Derby defender not as faultless as Roy will eventually get slated by a small group of our fans. Having high standards is fine, but sometimes I wonder if some fans are based in reality. Keogh was absolutely fantastic for us. He was a proper good time charlie in footballer form. Very good when his team is on the front foot and isn't put up to much defensive scrutiny. Poor if ever put in a team regularly on the backfoot or exposed by a weak midfield, and a bloody terrible on-field captain who dragged everyone else down with him when he started to panic and lose his head. Also a clownish moron who refuses to accept any responsibility for his own errors. Edited July 24, 2023 by Kokosnuss YorkshireRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jono Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Never despise, just feel disappointed or let down. Keogh for example. Liked him, warrior, but I expected better from him over joinergate. Didn’t like the sour taste Duane Holmes left. Not that he left but it always felt a bit graceless Bamford because he was a Bamford DavesaRam, angieram, Steve How Hard? and 3 others 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InstaRam Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Anybody remember Nicky Hunt on loan. Brrrrr The game against Ipswich was the worst i've seen a Derby player perform. I honestly think I would have done a better job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavesaRam Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I’m siding with AngieRam in defence of John McGovern. He did all the un-noticed donkey work that enabled the rest of the team to “tick”. I agree with Mikel Beck being in the side -a complete duffer. As was Andy Todd, who arrived with great fanfares on the back of his dad’s reputation. Warren Barton was another poor player. He arrived with Rob Lee who did put a shift in, but all Barton did when he got the ball was lump it skywards, hopefully up the pitch, but mainly upwards as high as possible. What a waste of Derby oxygen. Then there were the two French guys that Colin Todd brought in who were dire. And on the subject of Colin Todd - no matter how great he was as a player, he shafted the club as a manager. He was being groomed to take over from Jim Smith, maybe at the end of that season. Instead he jumped the gun, went behind his boss’s back and got Jim sacked. The result was that the team wouldn't play for him, and was worse to watch than anything that John “personality vacuum” Newman could conjure up. Good grief! We put up with some troach in our time, haven’t we? angieram, ziggyram59 and Miggins 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily the worst, but the team the fans just didn't like. For example, Francois Grenet, Mikkel Beck were just rubbish. It's the ones who got the boos, or at least a very muffled reaction, when their name was announced. And it has to be while they were with Derby - not because they went off to Leeds or wherever.

Leeds Ram Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 During my era, there are a few that spring to mind. I'd go for a front 3 of Earnshaw, Miller, and John. Earnshaw and John were especially reviled. I think for the manager it's a contest between Nigel Pearson and Phil Brown. I can still remember Brown berating the fans on the radio because he thought we'd boo'd Kevin Poole when people had chanted his name.... Anya won a hard-earned reputation in midfield as a complete scrounger by robbing the club blind. Whilst Savage won over a decent contingent of fans, a number still booed him when the announcer read out his name before kick-off. In defence, Claude Davies is an all too obvious candidate. These are just off the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
