curb Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Quite right, I'm pretty sure we didn't boo them onto the pitch in the first half, and the first half hour was one of the worst performances I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackNwhites Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 That's done it then, one game with a marked improvement second half (Derby nearly always improve 2nd half, btw, bout 75% of the time) after booing them off you're absolutely convinced it's the right way to go. How embarrasing, loyal supporters and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladyram Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Don't think anyone cheers when we lose Deano - but doing our bit in actually trying to support the team when we're losing (which is the whole point of a supporter) for me is the way to go. I don't see the point of booing because it does nothing to help the team and hands the other camp the advantage. I wouldn't say no-one has any right to boo, but it's not for me.

uttoxram75 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm sure we must have booed in the 80's when we dropped into division 3. Can't remember doing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The definition also does not say anything about pretending everything is okay, when it plainly is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackNwhites Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm not entirely convinced that you know what you are talking about. Irony not your strongest point. We were talking about supporting the team you claim to support, rather than constantly booing etc.. You know how it is at Derby, we're not made of money, we've got the 2nd youngest squad in the division and we're building towards the future. You want it all now, you're not getting it, you're upset about that. Right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Black Nwhite the definition doesn't say anything about booing. I believe booing could be incorporated into that definition, because we love the club and stick by them we feel it is important we let our true feelings out by showing our dissaproval. Much like a parent grounds a child, or an intervention takes place when someone is an addict. People don't constantly boo either, that is an exaggeration. While you may be confident that it will work out a significant proportion of others are not, and at the moment the evidence seems to be more our way than yours. People are still loyal to the club even if they disagree with the fallacy that the board are brilliant, that Nigel is someone who has done well and that booing a performence of gross ineptitude is somehow showing your disloyal.
