Thanks FreshOwl. As one of those who can no longer go to matches I get uptight about the negativity that pervades OMDTs when we’re not playing well. There were a handful of posters who were being totally OTT in their responses. I never understand it. We all want them to play well and win but you have to have a sense of perspective which you’ve just shown in that post. At the end of the day we had to avoid being an Ipswich today didn’t we ?

Probably not a popular sentiment amongst some on here. Just maybe, he’s not nor ever was the great hope that people think he is. Not given the chance you may say but how many starts did the management at Derby think he merited ? Hope I’m wrong on this obviously.

Sainsbury’s Archer Rd car park? Bulgaria? Are you sure your first words to him weren’t: You want car wash ??

The three most annoying phrases on OT Can he do a job for us? Id have him in a heartbeat Ill drive him there myself I personally cringe every time I see one of them

Yep. But supposing we win today then Bruce comes in and loses his first 2 matches ?

I used to be on there loads but I now only go on History and Expats section for a bit of nostalgia. The other main sections are full of smug, now it alls who seem to spend their lives on there and have an opinion on absolutely everything. There’s a little clique including the name you mentioned who gang up and try to belittle anyone who doesn’t share their views.

“ ..and a turd for Chris Wilder “ Id nominate you Poet Laureate for that line alone ! Merry Christmas

And now we’ve got a whole 2 weeks of ridiculous threads that should never have been started in the first place. Maybe I should start a thread about it ?

Hey Snoots this is a cracking thread. It’s kept me entertained for the last couple of hours just when the euphoria of our epic performance at BDTBL was just starting to wear off and I was starting to wonder if it was or it wasn’t. Its always nice to know we’re all singing from the same hymn sheet and I never tire of being told ‘ it’s a Forum, mate ‘ when questioning someone’s negativity win or lose.

If we went on the rule that it was a ridiculous thread to start in the first place it’d wipe out half the threads that are posted anyway

Each to their own, mate. It’s Snootys ‘self indulgent waffle’ that is often the only highlight of any match day and there’s plenty on here that enjoy his posts far more than those of the smart ass one liners Sorry, forgot to quote Torres

Well mate even Neil said the same. If you look later in the thread you’ll see I added to what I’d said. It was the criticism of him as a player that got my goat and not his performance on the night. Some of the things said were out of order and it’s a theme on here that players get singled out. Reach too has been slagged off. Without those 2 players where the hell do you think we’d be? You can’t deny that there are certain posters who revel in a good moan

Yep. That’s fine Neil. He had a poor match by his own high standards. However I can’t believe some of the other criticism of him and his whole game. I think we’d have been screwed well and truly without him this season

Really can’t believe some of the comments in this thread. OT has become a masterclass in moaning

Agreed. If ever a player has earned the right to have an off performance it’s Baz. Carries the team week in and week out and shows he cares.
