[QUOTE=rambler14;717887]I thought the Derry fans were outstanding. They were small but they made a lot of noise that pumped the Derry players up. Our fans who were tryin to make noise were a disgrace, they didn't encourage the players. They picked on Dave the Save because he was new and frankly embarrassed the club in front of premier opposition and their fans. Their choice of chants were border line racist and non-sensical.
Example:" Where's your famous Gerry Adams?" and "IRA, IRA, IRA". Those chants had absolutely nothing to do with Derry and only offended the Derry fans. The task for fans chanting is to encourage your team not to try and start fights between fans, Ramblers was never about that but looking at the future generations of Rams fans we are looking at becoming the next Shamrock Rovers because nowadays pre-teens and young teenagers only go to matches looking for fights. This needs to be stamped out.
I gotta comment on this & I'll probebly get hammered for it!! but here goes.... The team played with guts and a great fighting spirit last night, a never say die attitude, they made Derry look fairly ordinary and they have been doing this all season. The team are proud of the fans who are showing up to support them, paying well earned money urging their side on towards a shot at the title, there's a great buzz around the ground on match days it's that little bit of magic that makes you want to grab a ball and have a kick about after the game that's the great draw of football
Here it comes!!! but can any one tell me why those w*****s who turned up at the ground thinking they were something are trying to destroy all the good work that is being done. For fcuk sake all it is at the end of the day is a game of football, their carry on was totally out of order, they were p***ed, trying to have a go at stewards, spiting, abusing the Derry fans, the Special needs groups and even the gang that was collecting at half time, and then they are wondering why they get chucked out of the stand. When u pay ur few bob to watch a game the last thing you want is some w***st**n fireing bits of glass or trying to wind you up for a scrap. Stay the **** away from the club, all your doing is spoiling it for the fans who want to support the team and SHOULD be in the stand shouting their team on. Sorry about the mother in law type rant! but fcuk it lads we have a chance, a geat chance or doing well, the potential is huge for this club, are we going to let a few muppets spoil it ... i hope not
