Forest just got a tonking on the Big Match Revisited.
Very watchable.

Harry is a whiny bitch.
As a true ginge he should have grabbed a piece of the broken dog’s bowl and scratched Meghan’s name into Will’s bald head.
Meghan v Kate in jelly would be a fight worth watching.

Good to have Savin in goal too. Should have Scorin up front too. 

I don't think you are in any position to have a dig at names.  If you don't mind me saying so, Mr Pant!   ?

I asked in the "gasroom" why we weren't getting the extra allocation. This was one of the replies...
 
SWFC only had 2572 at ours on Saturday. There were some untaken seats in the portion of our Family Stand allocated to them . The Family Stand is the lower tier of our biggest stand. There were Wycombe supporters with young children who moved to less appropriate parts of our ground or didn't come on Saturday. I am sure that you can understand it would be undesirable to split the upper tier and have opposition fans above our Family Stand whoever the opposition would be.
Our new owners have always been keen on the Match Day experience, and there are some seats in the ground for home supporters that it is necessary to walk 4 / 5 ths of the way round the ground to reach and leave those seats, if those stands have a split allocation. The queues for various facilities were greater than I have ever known on Saturday.
We were very close to selling out the remaining areas of our ground to our own fans. This despite the weather and the bad experiences of some of our fans on the first occasion against Ipswich when we split the two stands to sell additional seats to opposition supporters. We had more than 5700 Wycombe supporters in the ground for the game against SWFC and that number has been recently rising steadily. I can't think of any club in the country who would sell seats to opposition supporters and turn away their own supporters or even run the risk of turning away their own supporters. That is not a courtesy, that's rolling over to have your tummy tickled.
I reckon that we tried to increase the away allocation as an experiment, and from the point of view of our supporters it certainly wasn't an unalloyed success. It may well have been that if our home games against SWFC and DCFC had come in the reverse order, Derby fans would have been offered the additional seats and Sheffield Wednesday fans would not have been given the opportunity. I am sure that there is every chance that if we are play-off contenders towards the end of the season we won't be splitting our stands to increase the allocation for away supporters.
I think our club has acted sensibly and without prejudice in this matter.
I am sure that Derby will return to at least the Championship at some stage. As you say, whatever happens, enjoy your season.

Sloppy in parts.
Bird with a helping hand.
Not always on top.
Only just held out long enough.
Was great to come from behind.
That final blow brought such a scream of delight.
 
Yeah.  All in all, a successful afternoon...  even if I do say so myself.
 
 
 
... How'd the footy go?  ?

Is that a tenner, but with the serial number cut off?  

Cheltenham away was the 81st ground where I have seen Derby play. My first match at the Baseball Ground was in 1966 aged 8 when my Father and Grandfather took me. First away game was Villa Park in 1968/69 during Clough and Taylors promotion season. Cheltenham's ground made me feel I was back in the 60's again (how lucky we are with Pride Park).
I stood behind the Derby dugout yesterday and loved it when Paul Warne popped round the side of the dugout and exchanged some jovial banter with the Cheltenham fans behind him. All in the best possible taste and another throw back to the good old days. How many grounds could that happen at nowadays ?
Finally, I don't think I have ever witnessed home fans applaud an away goal in the way the Cheltenham fans around me did with Birdy's screamer. A sporting response from football supporters very rarely seen in the modern game.
A great day yesterday but back to the 21st century next week against Bolton.

Need the old 70's songs for this one...
 
We are the Pride of the Midlands
The c*** of the north,
we all hate scousers and cockneys of cause
we are the Derby and we are the best
We are the champions so fck all the rest
 

As in life, my friend, as in life!
