What are these pundits on about? You can clearly see him throw himself whilst in the air.
Are the rules "if there is the minute possibility of any contact in the box, and the attacker throws himself to floor as if he has been hacked, then that definitely deserves a free shot at goal from the spot"?

What? What? Have you heard this garbage in the studio. Ref staring at that from about ten feet away. The dive was so blatant . Please tell me this isn’t the future of football. I’m still wound up can’t deny it, Prem you see cheating constantly. But that was embarrassing 

Fluff off Cowley on SS it was never a pen !!!! 

A better away point for Everton than home point for forest
 
My desire to see them relegated in the last minute of the last game of the season is still on.
And yes, that's because I live there and am sick of the sense of privilege they emit

All terrible. Get rid of the lot next season.

It’s old farts like me that contribute to the lack of atmosphere.
 I played the game for a while and I’m so engrossed in what’s going on that I barely breathe let alone shout.
 I do join in with the clapping parts of South Stand chants.
Fairly typical East Stand fan, me.?

I think you must have been wearing ear plugs at the Baaseball ground in the 80's as there was a chant of "get your tites out for the lads" at every game.
Don't hear anything remotely sexist now.

Sh*** - we lost then?

Good job, way your crowds would drop with relegation. Dont get this media thing about the 'great' Forest fans. The place is three times bigger than Derby or Leicester and both get bigger crowds. Never has been a football city, Clough used to moan about them year they won it. Sold out for cup matches but couldnt fill it for league. . . . except when Derby filled it

They are bringing a good following ,and they're doing well. This is almost a must win game for them if they want to make the play offs. I'm sure PW is making this clear to our lads. I've had a peek on their site and they seem a good bunch, very respectful of us as a club .
I'm hoping the PP stewards can do better than this though with their away support.
 
 
Am I ok posting this on a game thread ? If not apologies. ( Derek Smalls has a Shrewsbury top on throughout this movie )
 
 
 
 
 
 

I remember that. I remember trying to count them individually, I think there was about 70.

BBG  obviously but I reckon the one in the eighties was Leyton Orient ....maybe

The away fans were very quiet at this fixture. Can't have been many of them there. 

I just hope this doesn't put off the people who were attacked from following the Rams. I'm similar to notts ram as in not going to many away games these days and I thought the same at the Liverpool match. I was going away in the eighties and nineties so don't consider myself a shrinking violet but I don't think I've seen so many people off their nut as that night

Amazing just how long fozzy has played for us

said it before mate , some of our away supports behaviour is disgusting , hope the animals that have done this are brought to justice

I don't think anything will come of it, but, we'll see. I just filled in British Transport Police's online complaint form:
I went to catch the train from Barnsley Interchange, following the Barnsley-Derby County football match, intending to travel back to Sheffield.
I wasn't allowed through the doors of the station, for a while, in the first instance. I posed the question: what? You won't permit me onto the platform, even though I've got a valid travel document? The answer was no - you're going to have to wait. Eventually, I was allowed onto the platform, just as the train was coming in.
As I expected, I was squashed up against the train door. I ended up standing next to two Derby fans, a husband and wife, with some other Derby fans in front of me, and then two members of the British Transport Police against the other set of train doors.
The British Transport Police officers let a few more fans on, and, at that point, it was hardly possible to move. Still, they continued to admit passengers, to the point where the volume of people meant that I ended up being pushed into the lady Derby supporter. I think this was preceded by one of the British Transport Police officers pushing someone, because they wouldn't (or could not, due to the lack of space), move down the train.
Understandably, her husband complained loudly, about the fact that his wife had almost been pushed over. Fortunately, she was unhurt.
My concerns arise from the way that the British Transport Police officers dealt with her husband. To contextualise - I am a Barnsley fan, and I was surrounded by supporters of the other club. The Derby supporters were loud, singing their songs, and many of them had alcohol. Their team had just lost, too. In my experience, a combination of those last two things can be a recipe for threats, aggression, and general unpleasantness. At no point, though, did I feel intimidated by any Derby fans - I was happily talking to a couple of them. For a busy train, after a football match, it was as peaceable as it gets. 
The fan whose wife had been pushed over was addressing, from memory, British Transport Police officer Smith, who normally works out of Leeds, and has been with the police, since 1981. If that doesn't identify him, I took some surreptitious video footage with my smartphone, which you can have, if you like.
It isn't verbatim, but parts of the conversation went like this, with 'F', being the fan whose wife had been pushed over, and 'O', being officer Smith.
F - why did you push my wife over?
O - I can push whoever I want. They (I think 'they', meant the yellow-jacketed stewards, who had been outside the train station) cannot, but we can, and we will, if we have to.
F - what? You're not even going to apologise?
O - carry on with your mouth, and I'll arrest you, when we pull into Sheffield.
I also had a conversation with officer Smith, just as we were arriving into Sheffield. He said he would have had no problem 'pulling me by [my] scarf', through the solid mass of humanity in front of me, and into the passageway which connects the carriages, if he had been required to do so. When I asked what the consequences for my health would have been from such a decision, he was unconcerned. There was not much in the way of a response to my comment that, if you treat people like animals, you shouldn't be surprised if they behave liked animals.
Officer Smith, when prompted by a different Derby fan, also expounded upon the subject of police intelligence, and how the police decide whether someone 'can be a risk.' Essentially, this came down to attire. Two of the brands mentioned by officer Smith, were Stone Island, and CP. I wanted to ask officer Smith whether this was the same mentality which sees Black citizens targeted, as a consequence of police intelligence, but, as he had already told me 'not to get excited', I thought better of it. 
Officer Smith confirmed that he had been filming, so you may wish to view said footage.
My own comments are as follows: it was only this morning when I read that one per cent of police officers, are under investigation, for alleged criminal activity of their own. It isn't even two years since Sarah Everard was murdered by a serving police officer. In more recent times, there's been David Carrick, too. Now, obviously - obviously - I am not comparing a rude police officer, whose every action I disagreed with, with the murderer of Sarah Everard.
But, if public confidence in the police is as low as it's ever been because of the above events, my experience on the train is not going to restore that confidence. Nobody I saw deserved to be treated with the rudeness, and contempt, which officer Smith displayed. An apology, and an acceptance that he'd made the wrong decision, in letting more people onto the train, would have gone a long way to defusing the situation. I make mistakes in my job, and, when I do, I apologise. And, this man has been one of the public faces of your organisation, for more than four decades!
I'm appalled. I've never done a thing wrong in my life, and yet one of the upholders of the law, thinks there is nothing wrong with telling me he'd pull me around by my scarf, through a line of other human beings, on an already jampacked train. I've been all over the country with Barnsley, and only the police in South Yorkshire, behave in such a high-handed, intimidating way. 
Thanks for your attention.

ahead of Saunders and Goddard?

Sad news and a reminder that we are all getting older when our generation of heroes are dying much more regularly, it seems. 
I loved Motson's commentary and the fact that his son is a Derby fan was icing on the cake. 
Rest well, Motty!

In 1985/86, games 29,30 & 31 were all at home.
3 - 1 win against Walsall, 1 - 1 draw with Darlington & a 2 - 0 win against Bristol City
This put us on 63 points, 6 ahead of our current total but we were about to hit a bit of a wall over the next 4 games as our fixture backlog began to catch up with us
 
In 1984/85 , game 29 was a 1 - 1 home draw with Rotherham, then game 30 was a 2 - 0 home win against Walsall followed by game 31 which was a 3 - 2 away defeat at Hull City  who were to gain automatic promotion.
That put us 43 points, 14 behind our current total
 
 

I think you have a right to expect anyone sitting in the designated family area to watch their language and, if they ignore requests to stop, perfectly entitled to report them. You're going to get audible swearing from adjacent sections and most certainly all round the stadium for certain songs, but that's different to having someone nearby using the worst swearwords aggressively and persistently. Everyone should be cut some slack at particularly tense moments, but that's all imo.
