Derby County Fan Excuses

Reality:

"Forest have made 8 changes as well by the way for those that are harping on about playing their full strength side. Our squad just isnt as strong anymore."

...and from our perspective, our squad is now stronger than it was.

The Winners were posted in the thread - it’s one of the posts near the end (am on mobile so cannot link directly).

Edit:

Here - it’s the very last post:

Competition: Tickets for Carabao Cup 2nd round Forest v Derby 27th August

Oh right Chris, got you - thread was closed so no 'whoop-whooping' could be made.


Would I be right in thinking Billy Davies was the 'independent person' overseeing the draw?
And how many goes did he have before he drew out Alf?...


"And the last winner is.... Blackpool? How did that get in there? I'll try again... Swansea?? Is somebody taking the piss here? I want to draw my mate Alf out."

"Well there's only one ticket left Billy, so that must be him."

"Damn, I can't quite reach it."

"Flaggers!? Billy can't quite reach the final ticket."

"What? AGAIN??"

"Right, now I KNOW you're taking the piss..."

Wasn’t picked up by Calvin but this was a quote that really got me!!!

‘For Forest, one suspects tonight will be one of the few highlights of their season. We have bigger ambitions.’

I’m sure they’ll be ecstatic at avoiding relegation. I know we were

A few reasonable comments, but mostly tears and excuses :)

Some reasonable comments amongst the anger and excuses, to be expected really.

I feel the tables of balance are beginning to turn again.

Thanks for posting Calvin.

I love these opposition fan comments. Thanks Calvin.

What makes it even funnier is that they are a mirror image of what fans say on here. Some of our fans are self aware and get the irony. But others seem totally unable to grasp this.

Struggling to disagree about the tits in A block. Cheers Calvin.

Give the Derby County official FB page a visit for more hilarious replies to their final score post.

I love the first nine ambitious and confident posts then the realisation gradually sinks in that the team is not as strong as they might have hoped! There is a, fading, hope that Cocu is renowned for blooding youngsters so it will be all right on the night.

Love these threads Calvin, win or lose, they always shine a light on football fans and their narrow vision of others.

And, just to make sure this time, I include our wonderful supporters. We mostly see life from our own vantage point, as we should; it's tribal.

Were are all those Derby fans who though Mad Mel was some sort of genius for handing Cocu a 4 year deal?
