Leeds Ram Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Not nearly as important as derby used to feel like. Where as before I used to love derby and the team, now I dislike a lot about my own club. Glick with his rehashed statements based on fantasy every year when it comes to grabbing more of my money, clough with his weird tactics, cliques in the dressing room and rowing with players over minor things. The man is as stubborn as a mule even when he is wrong. The fact that when we concede I'm no longer surprised or dissapointed, it's just an inevitability. I'm going to Birmingham on saturday and I fully expect us to lose or get a boring draw. I don't get excited by games as I used too and winning or losing doesn't affect my weekend as it did.

DCFC1995 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 No not really if we're winning im happy but after 10 years of support and **** managers who cant sign a decent player you kind of just hope they might win :L Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 . Fair enough M8. Shankleys quote would be wrong I agree if he meant it literally but its a figure of speech in my opinion and he's just trying to stress the importance to people of what Football means in general to fans. I agree his quote too some could be construed as politically incorrect. It's not "politically incorrect", it's just incorrect. He may have meant it as a figure of speech, I don't know, but it's generally held up by many as being true and what they actually believe - that football is the be all and end all of their lives. I think it's a load of nonsense. Football is very important to some people, less so to others, but it's never more important than family, friends, health etc and if it were, i'd find that incredibly sad.

p.shilton Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 i have been supporting 26 years now and nearly 27 years now and i have had a season ticket since pp opened, this will be my 17th season of wACHTING derby but recently my fire has not been as bright, this is i know what this team is cable off. until we get rid of the yanks nrothing going to change what needs to happen is that we need massive protest against them start from city centre and down to pp and asking all derby fans to join protesting before and after the game. Lucky you weren't around when Maxwell was here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.shilton Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 I do really think that following your Football Team is very important and the people who say thats it I can't go on watching this anymore are only going to be unhappy unless they replace it with something else. Derby County like it or not fulfils a lot of peoples lives. If you love your Football Team you can't divorce it and remarry another Team because its still RAMS4LIFE I give up quite a bit to watch Derby but it certainly isn't my life. I come on here and put my views across as I like a bit of banter and reading how different peoples' views can be. However, at the minute it is a struggle watching the Rams and I have thought about jacking it in this season and staying home with the radio on. I am not falling out of love with the club and I wouldn't dream of supporting anyone else. But- why give up my time and money doing something I don't enjoy and that frankly p*sses me off most of the time? Rams 4 Life? yes..Rams=Life? Oh my goodness, no.

p.shilton Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 How important to me is a club that I've never watched in person in a country that I've never even visited? Far too important as can be shown by how much I come on to this forum. I am a sad, strange little man. Well, you are a Yank!
