Awful football
I think this one could rival the defeat at Don Valley v Darlington in the cup.
Still have nightmares about that one.
What's the most depressed you have ever been at a Millers game?

What's the most depressed you have ever been at a Millers game?
March 2024, pigs at home.
Worst derby performance in years. Players had started to self-cert themselves and go sick, there were very few moments where it looked like we wanted it, we were waist deep in an absolute slump and this was almost the last chance we'd have to get a result to give us a bit of a lift, and we just offered nothing against a very ordinary team and their irritating fans.
I can handle cold, slumming it in the fourth tier, years of no investment, but that game and the timing of all the other sh** we'd been through was a proper wake-up call that we were just a set of rapidly falling fourth tier wannabes in a polished turd of a ground, being put firmly in our place by the one team I despise as much as any. I can't remember feeling as fed up in the DV or Millmoor.
Pigs away 1979, lost 5-1. 1979 I think. Hammered in first half.
Same year, Chesterfield, 3 down at half time.
Several cold winter nights in the George Kerr era and I guess many in the years soon after that.
I also went to both of those - the game at Hillsbro' was particularly horrible cos I went to Wales Comp which had more than its fair share of deluded owls fans to face on the Monday after it!
Can also add some heavy defeats 6/7 goals away at Burnley, Wrexham & Grimsby to that list along with the 4-0 away defeat at Macclesfield in the FA cup when they were none league
It wasn't a particular game for me, it was the entirety of the George Kerr regime.
That was an absolutely dreadful time.
George Kerr ?Ian McInnes will be an international player by the time he?s 18 I?d bet money on it ?
or words to that effect
Talk about deja vu re SE and Kerr both Scottish both big and both full of hot air
