East Rider 548 Posted January 22, 2021 4 hours ago, Rich T The Biscuit said: Not sure what they can do, there have been many seasons where their attendance has been woeful but I guess like most of us supporting your team is in the blood and we put up with the good and bad because we can't help ourselves. We have the benefit of knowing that we have owners who want the best for the club no matter what some say or believe, we have good off field structure and beliefs and and we have a strong fanbase. They cannot claim any of that at this current time. There was plenty that could and perhaps should have been done by the support, especially a number of years back when it was obvious Evans was not the saviour they had hoped. That they allowed one failed appointment after another without so much of a whimper is frankly embarrassing for them. Adding into the mix that the only protest or objection of note displayed throughout the slow demise was that incident, when a few of the stupidest called McCarthy a paedophile. He rightly took exception to that and it is another sorry embarrassment for them. Demanding change in the structure above the manager or protesting about the way the club is run despite the managers best efforts, always seem a step too far for them. It's apathy plain and simple. That they continually roll over and accept their lot is shocking. History shows it would not be tolerated here for long. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember sitting at Carrow Road a fee seasons ago and McCarthy getting all sorts of abuse from the fans before he decided to tell them to go forth and multiply 😆 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Icecream Snow 761 Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) After Craig Bellamy admitted paying Derby players (using Robbie Savage as the go between) to try harder during our epic 3-2 win in the Lambert Championship promotion campaign, I can't see Delia giving him any kind of job ever.

I can’t comprehend how even Scumbert can fail in such a cr4ppy league . That said if they don’t go up this year , and a wage cap comes in , then they are screwed.

......and Smith must score. 1,331 Posted January 23, 2021 If you're feeling flat after today's game just remember over on TWTD there's always someone feeling even flatter 😀 Relegation next season or the season after. I cannot think of a single reason why that won’t happen. A rotting unprofessional football club with no desire to progress. Players and manager (no capital M for that fraud) stealing a living. Injury prone and/or inadequate dross turning out for an easy pay day. Nobody cares, least of all the players. I wish they’d change the colour of the strip to something else. Brown with an ME badge instead of the one they insult every week. Lambert’s not interested. Back to the bunker to stare at his Celtic videos and his fat undeserved contract. The players that made the effort to turn out will be comfy and happy in mid table. Smiles all round, handshakes, ‘good effort lads’, laughter, crack open the beers. No pressure. Just easy money and if anyone says anything, head for the treatment table queue. I bet the Peterborough manager is going berserk. Only 1-0 against that dross?? Shocking for them. They’ll need to do a lot better against proper clubs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
