Ram-Alf

We're a mid to bottom Championship team, Goalkeepers make mistakes, It's the frequency of these mistakes that cost points, Last season both Eddison and Allison made huge errors even with great defenders infront of them, We had an opportunity to clear the ball in the box, Unfortunately Kell wasn't up to stopping the shot...we have what we have and mistkes will continue imo.

It was very difficult. The Manager of the other team called me a cheat. I walked around to their side of the pitch and asked him to repeat it. He didn’t ?

For saying that we've just conceded our first goal in 3 games in the league, and only 4 goals in 5 games so far, there seems to be allot of posters complaining about our game management. 
We were certainly 2nd best for large parts of the 2nd half, and our playing out from the back unsuccessfully at times invited pressure rather than relieved it , but Roos only had two testing saves to make and Forest created little else. 
Again the missing factor was that 2nd goal. We passed up some good openings with bad decision making, but Samba was the busier keeper and Stretton desperately unlucky not to seal the win before they equalised. 
A better team than Forest might have made us pay for losing our way a bit, but I came away from the game feeling disappointed rather than relieved. I still think we're making positive progress. 

I’m surprised at the number of posts in the match thread that seem a bit down. Totally get it was only a draw against our local rivals, mediocre rivals at that. First half though we pretty much bossed it and were far more inventive and creative. Had we got the rub with a better ref, a penalty given or had Stretton just connected sweeter from the brilliance of Sibley, we would have comfortably won; because no way would that poor Forest team have scored twice.
We don’t seem comfortable one in front at the minute, always seems a ricket lurking. Yet under the circumstances of everything of the pitch, the glimpses we are seeing from the nucleus of this team is very encouraging. Rooney is slowly evolving this team into a decent one. He’s honest in his assessments and to give him more credit appreciates the backing the fans are giving right now.
As much as not winning is a bit deflating, there’s a fair few reasons for optimism in this team under Rooney; he’s slowly winning me back over.

Fozzy was a red and we should have had a pen for handball…just my view. I ran the line for Perton U13s a couple of times ???

Totally agree, it was a stamp imho too. 
Not sure how you can come to any other conclusion. 
Similarly, it was a flagrant handball by Worrall.

I'll base my opinion on what my eyes saw and not what is said, I gather you're sat in the West Stand a good 100 yards from the incident at a guess, The replay shows it as a stamp... there's no over balance or trying to extracate himself from the player...my opinion only.
Yes the ball should have been cleared before a shot was taken, But a shot was taken, Roos gets a hand on it but parries into the goal, Once he did the hard part by getting a hand on it then it should have been saved...my opinion only.
"Slo-mo" is there for the viewer, It doesn't make a goal or a stamp worse or better, It shows what if any could or should have been given.

Thought Roos was the second best keeper on the pitch, today. Better than Samba, but not as good as Worrall.

To take the positives, we didn’t lose and we’ve saved a man from the sack. In all seriousness though, Roos can’t kick, catch or make a basic save when required. He did make one top class save, but ultimately cost us 2 points, as for the play off final, oh dear.

From when I started going in 1966 up until 2019/20 season I proberbly missed 10 homes games if that, Travelled the Country far and wide, Froze half to death at Carlisle at a night match, Been served food that pigs woould turn down (a hot pork pie in Rotherham ?)Hearded on trains and treated like animals by the OB (which was a fare Cop)as we did the same to them, Queued up at silly o'clock for cup tickets many hours before the ticket office opened, Begged, Borrowed and sometimes stole money to watch Derby, Thought I was a dead un at the FA Cup semi at Hillsboro when United stormed across the pitch, Had bus windows smashed in when seated, Been clumped and clumped others who wanted it...more and much more.
BUT, There was a feeling of great pride and euforia following this club, Through Brian Clough leaving, To Dave McKay entering, The night Charlie George suffered his injury, The dark very dark days in the early 80s, Leeds and Chelsea trashing the Ossie end stands seats, Mike Waterson saying we have our own "Lunatic Fringe", Being relegated and being at Norwich singing we'll be back, The nights at the BBG in European football, A Juventus fan having his checked flag burnt when draped over the Ley stand, Alan Hinton missing that penalty, A cabbage patch of a pitch, Derby fan kicking a Fulham player, Malcom McDonald crying wanting to replay the match, Ian Storey-Moore  paraded on the pitch as our new player only for him to sign for United, Franny Lee and Norman Hunter sent off for the battle of the BBG, Trevor Christie scores from the spot when given a ghost penalty for us to be promoted...all in the 60s 70s and 80s...more and much more.
Derby move to PP everyone has a seat, We can all see the game, Sky TV arrive...football has changed but I didn't see it, Slowly prices would increase at the gates, More and more TV games are being shown on TV, Kick off times are changing, Playing on a Thursday now, We have 24-7 football, A £100million player, Billionaire foreign owners, Countrys owning football teams(PSG/Man City)FIFA/EUFA corrupt organisations(allways have been)The top players are treated like Hollywood film stars, MOTD they talk more than they show the games, Ex players explaining how the game is played...the same game i've just watched, Refs miked up, God damn awfull refs, VAR...big toes being caught offside, Games lasting over 100mins, Players caught by a gentle breeze and poleaxed then faking injury...more and much more.
Please don't blame us "old uns" for not undstanding modern techknowledgy, We all know the wheel has been invented, We most likely know someone who can sort out our problems(I do)but as things change in football things change for the supporter, There's more things to look forward to, This last 18 months and struggling to see family and friends, I found that football is NOT what I used to live for, There is another world out there it's called life...And there's more, Much, Much more.

When you put it like that, it just goes to show what a crazy club we support.
The only memorable (or should I say forgettable) moments you missed from my personal point of view were the Wembley loss to Leicester, and the floodlight failure on the first game at PP. It could only happen to us!
Of the so called big clubs, only Man City have really faced any hardship over recent times, although fans of all the big clubs would argue otherwise, just because they miss out on the top four every now and then.
Who would really swap being a Ram for any other club.
Not me.

Please don't blame us "old uns" for not undstanding modern techknowledgy, We all know the wheel has been invented, We most likely know someone who can sort out our problems(I do)but as things change in football things change for the supporter, There's more things to look forward to, This last 18 months and struggling to see family and friends, I found that football is NOT what I used to live for, There is another world out there it's called life...And there's more, Much, Much more.

From when I started going in 1966 up until 2019/20 season I proberbly missed 10 homes games if that, Travelled the Country far and wide, Froze half to death at Carlisle at a night match, Been served food that pigs woould turn down (a hot pork pie in Rotherham ?)Hearded on trains and treated like animals by the OB (which was a fare Cop)as we did the same to them, Queued up at silly o'clock for cup tickets many hours before the ticket office opened, Begged, Borrowed and sometimes stole money to watch Derby, Thought I was a dead un at the FA Cup semi at Hillsboro when United stormed across the pitch, Had bus windows smashed in when seated, Been clumped and clumped others who wanted it...more and much more.
