I was in the Greece v England U21 game in Tripoli (160 km from Athens). Ended 1-1 with Greece missing three great chances to win (and I mean great!!!). Scott “I-almost-killed-McGugan-by-mistake” Loach was a real guardian angel in the English goal. Got my “Psycho” book signed by U-Know-Whom and I’m all excited!

Also showed my Forest T-shirt to Miles Addison after congratulating him on his game (Stuart played him out of position as a defensive midfielder when he came in as a sub bit he did quite well I must confess) and told him: “Rivalry is great, but it’s only a game. Peace.”

He smiled, and looked quite a nice guy to me (even though he still features in the Derby pack going after Tyson on my desktop!)

Now you can love or hate it, but that’s the way I see it.

Goodnight!

On second thoughts complaining to the BBC was a waste of time. According to their response they think that showing the opinion of Nigel Clough balanced out the nonsense coming out of Savage’s mouth, and that Savage’s employment by the BBC is somehow irrelevant.

Oh, and I forgot to mention Nigel.
He’ll always be a Forest Legend, but how disappointing to watch as he spent the entire match whining to the 4th official. For a gifted player whose vision on the pitch was his main attribute he seems to be a very blinkered manager.

Quite right Alan.

If Weecock hadn’t steamed in none of the pushing and shoving would have happened. Or the punches thrown by the Derby players. No wonder Ned Kelly had to be restrained. Hopefully the FA will have numerous camera angles to see what really happened and realise that it was actually the Derby players who inflamed the situation.

As for Savage, what did you expect. He was outplayed and out-battled by the forest midfield, he knew it and it showed by his histrionics as the game wore on.
At this point, I think it’s only right to mention Joe Garner. He played Savage wonderfully; tackling, passing round him, and most importantly refusing to be intimidated by him. Smiling at him after a 50-50 and then whispering something in his ear as he walked past, which made Savage squeal to the ref (again) was a joy to watch. Well done Joe!

We have been on holiday the past fortnight, but my lad and I travelled back especially for this game. And what a good decision that was!!

Dean Leacock has to be punished ! There would have been no problem if he was not such a bad loser.
Before the next derby Garath McCleary has to learn that savage is a professional wind up merchant and not to react to him,which then winds him up ! garath was lucky not to be sent off for his push on the moron !

Hi Southern red.
Could you give me the address of the live stream you saw the match on please? Living in deep west Wales and can’t even get a match on the radio.
Cheers
Dean

Give Tyson the keys to the city. What a legend. Shows he has a pair and was clearly a salute to our fans with Savage’s antics from last year in mind. Something for us to cheer about. If the FA dish out punishment it should be at club level and to both clubs. If it is to individuals then should be Tyson, Teale and Dean Weecock. If Tyson does get a ban then it is worth while. He has gone down in Forest folk lore. Savage is unbelievable. How he has the front to go on air and criticise after his celebrations last year and the provocative warm up in front of A block on Saturday. Proper incitement. What goals, what a result and what a celebration. For me it had everything you want from a local derby.

Great blog! I actually complained to the BBC about their coverage as it was so one-sided it was ridiculous. I would urge others to do the same. I’m now going to write to the FA, and despite the fact he earns much more than me I’d be willing to send Tyson a fiver if he does get a fine.

Yeah Rambo-Bimbo, you look like speaking worse English than I do and write even worse I can understand that sheep molesting doesn’t leave you enough time to go to school.

Good blog this.I was at the game yesterday.What a fabulous first half! The win was hard fought in the end but we desrved it fully.
Tyson never did anything wrong in my opinion he never assaulted anyone where some of the Derby players did.I hope the FA see it the same way

YOU REDS
FOREST FOREVER
