I come in Peace with a question........

[random hero]

Please forgive me as im am only posting here for research purposes and am not a Forest fan.

But thought this might be a good place for help

Was wondering where the term Red Dogs came from?

Does it have roots based in some sort story or is it just a nickname that someone came up with and has been adopted??

 

[It's Baggio]

It's a nickname that the Derby fans gave us, probably in response to our 'Sheep' jibes.

I have no idea where it comes from and I don't in any way find it offensive, I mean how cool would a Red Dog be?

 

[lancecunno]

I'm not entirely sure, but the sheep always tend to call us that, so i'm guessing it could be them who made it up.

Either way its offensive one bit!

Well i had wondered this to start with but then, as you stated, thought, well its hardly an insult, then after a quick search on google found that it had been used by some Forest fans in various forms (theres even a band named Red Dogs who use the Forest logo)

Cheers anywho

You'll get some people being weird, but stick around.

We have a Leeds fan, a Bristol City fan, and an Aston Villa fan who all post occasionally, so be nice and we'll be nice back.

Oh I am sure that will change lol Welcome, expect the odd prawn sarnie joke which may appear but aside from that, most of us are normal lol

 

[jimbo]

I like prawn sarnies.
Beware the injokes.
They are everywhere...

But welcome. Have fun

 

[gazzaw]

I have a Feeling i wont be welcome.

Listen pal, IF I were so disadvantaged that I lived in D***y I too would probably support Man United Forest

Stick around mate, you'll have a laugh

 

[cmw]

How long ago were the Sheep calling it us?
Because i know a Bin dipper thats been saying it for a lot of years.

 

[Eastwood Red]

It as more than likely a response to us saying they violate sheep in bad ways which the RSPCA need telling about, and maybe the Police :-*

But stick around Like others have said be nice and we'll be nice back. Doesn't matter who you support as long as you don't change allegiances every few years.

 

[Randy Bumgardener]

Haha, live in Derby and support Man Utd. You're welcome to visit and shag my sister anyday ! (If I had a sister)

Welcome mate. Stick around for a well balanced (well, kind of) view of footy ! However, any free grot will bring you much further into the depths of the forum !

 

[winnits]

I'm pretty sure I first heard 'red dogs' from Les-dar fans, but could be wrong. As others have said, it's not really offensive, then again, I imagine Dirty fans feel largely the same about the term 'sheepshagger' lol

But yes, welcome aboard - better a United fan in Derby than a Dirty fan in Manchester!

 

[yam]

Its better than their other effort of "tree shagger" which has to be the most laughable "insulting" nickname I've had as a Forest fan.  "Tree hugger" I could understand but "tree shagger"???  I didn't think that existed outside of the original "Evil Dead" film!

By the way welcome to LTLF, fans of all types are welcome for friendly banter (even Derby fans).
