ariotofmyown Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 "To be fair" to Mr Burns, at least he writes his articls himself. You can tell as it's so badly written. I read it and can now hardly remember what his points were. "To be fair", I'm a bit drunk like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashz09 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Can imagine it now. 'Boss we're not getting many views in the sports section' 'Write some **** about Derby get them worked up and we'll get 200x more views on the page?' 'Brilliant idea I'm on it now!' Worked a treat at least someone copied and paste the content so they don't get our much wanted views lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Derby County players in the 11v11 football database.yep very ageing - take a look at this squad, only Steve Buckley worth anything Stevie Powell, Archie and Bob Davison put a full season shift in.

McFarland had really retired, and was assistant manager. Archie still had something left but only really remember the Cup games against Forest and Norwich. Even so with Bobby davison and all we should have had enough to stay up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'm surprised to see this thread. Kenny Burns always writes incoherent drivel - I actually thought this particular aticle of his was slightly above (his) average. It's probably nearing the level that a 9 or 10 year old would write. Leave the fellow alone. We don't want to be seen to be bullying the intellectually challenged of Nottingham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramble On Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It has been a bad few weeks for managers as the season ends, including those with Nottingham Forest connections.McClaren was sacked by Derby and former player Nigel Clough was given his marching orders by Sheffield United.I think McClaren can count himself unlucky. It's been intimated that the talk of him going to Newcastle was a distraction which cost them promotion.That should be nonsense. It shouldn't affect players at all.These players are paid good money to play for a big club. The fact is they've choked for two years now when promotion has been in their hands. They've let the manager and the club down.Now you are looking at Paul Clement coming in as the new boss having previously been Real Madrid number two.From Real Madrid to Derby County. What a come down that is! It's like going from Forest to Ilkeston.I'm not so sure Nigel was unlucky to get sacked by Sheffield United. He did great in the cups, but the league is the bread and butter and they've not won promotion.I'm friends with a Sheffield United fan and he tells me the supporters weren't convinced.They went to Swindon in the play-offs, scored five goals in the second leg and lost. When that happens it's not right.There are times when I don't get clubs getting rid of their manager. Sam Allardyce was sacked by West Ham ten seconds after the final whistle went against Newcastle.That was poor. He'd done a good job but it seems they wanted a foreign coach , as so many clubs do.I don't get that. There are some great up and coming British managers out there.Look at Alex Neil at Norwich or Mark Warburton at Brentford. He took them to the play-offs and got the sack.Brentford in the Championship play-offs, come off it. They won't go close next year.Read more: http://www.nottinghampost.com/Kenny-Burns-column-Forest-boss-McClaren-let-Derby/story-26602655-detail/story.html#ixzz3bp4pUAkI Follow us: @Nottingham_Post on Twitter | NottinghamPostOnline on FacebookHow does this guy get a say?

Day Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Hate to be a bore but some posts are going to far in this thread, tone it down will you please, my arse is twitching and I don't fancy having any more lawyers on my case. Be critical of the article fine but lay off the personal stuff. Thanking you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think the article was pretty poor in general and my overall opinion or Mr Burns' journalism is that I would not consider him for a position if i ran a nottingham forest themed periodical.

CheltenhamRam Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Not living in the area I rarely see stuff like this. Not sure I've ever seen a published article as ridiculous. Can't believe it got past the "editors". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
