2-0 to the referee..

Improved second half, on balance of play Cardiff dominant but Tyson put what looked a perfectly fair challenge on the keeper to head into the waiting goal. It’s true we created sod all else, but that would have been the equaliser. Ho hum, on balance of play the Bluebirds just about edged it, neither team [...]

Half time at Ninian library..

This is the most ill-deserved place for having an intimidating atmosphere attributed to it. Our team isn’t as depleted as first feared, it’s been a scrappy game considering the form both teams have been in lately. The Bluebirds are good value for their lead, the referee takes his cue from the home crowd for decisions, [...]

Out amongst the walking wounded..

The game against Cardiff City tomorrow promises to be rather experimental one. With oodles of injuries, and no incomings in the transfer market we really will have a makeshift look about us when we take the field. Cohen, Lynch, Benno and Moussi are unavailable, with doubts over Earnie, Tys, Brecks and Davies. It seems almost [...]

Second chance to see Big Norm!

I’ve been kicking myself ever since missing Big Norm’s last appearance at The Approach, where by all accounts he stole the show and kept the crowd amused to great acclaim – and giving Nigel Jemson very little chance to have a similar opportunity on the night! So I will be hot footing it down to [...]

Exclusive: Agent Clough revealed..

After some ingenious snooping by one of our network of spies, a memo from the City Ground addressed to Derby County manager Nigel Clough was intercepted.  It congratulated him on his excellent progress in dropping the Rams into the relegation zone of The Championship pretty much as quickly as it was possible for him to [...]

Forest come back to defeat Owls..

Nottingham Forest – 2 Sheffield Wednesday – 1 I must admit I was a bit worried when I saw the team, following the injuries picked up against the Sheep left us without Anderson and Cohen, seeing McCleary and Anderson enter the side.  Better news (sorry Joel) was that Lynch wasn’t available, giving Joe Heath a [...]

Don’t mention the draw!

Can you remember not that long ago a cup win against Luton Town would’ve landed us a draw against Liverpool?  Can you remember what happened?  People talked as if it were going to happen, we went to Kenilworth Road (never the most fun of trips) and we lost in a rather shameful performance. Well, today [...]

Sheepish highlights..

Are here. Courtesy of ESPNStar.com.  Pretty poor commentary, but still!  I guess this a game that most of you have actually had a chance to see, anyway!  Our goal was very similar, but better as Earnie had a turn to make. Just before our goal goes in, you can hear the bizarre ‘going down’ chant [...]

And we’ll all go mad when, we have to play them again!

Derby County – 1 Nottingham Forest – 1 And so we must play them about three times in a month, with three years of being parted this season is turning into overkill on the Forest vs Derby rivalry (I refuse to include the nonsense that is that ill-conceived BC Trophy friendly).  The replay will be [...]

Quick summary..

Poor game, fussy ref, fair result. Bring on the replay, and perhaps more importantly than anything my best wishes go to Billy Davies on the news his son has been taken ill.
