Just another case of the local simpletons referring to anyone hailing from the neighbouring town as "scum" Unlike most rivalries that are based purely on geographical location, there are actually other factors that give this rivalry an extra bit of needle. Not the biggest rivalry but it's up there amongst the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Harry Potter books a character such as Hermione Granger has magic, even though she's born into a Muggle (non-magical) family. But it can happen the other way around and if magical parents give birth to a kid without magic that kid is called a Squib. Hence the game could be a damp squib (as in the original post, but that used squid by mistake, giving rise to the comments that followed) but it could instead be magic!

twinkletoes Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Me and a mate talking to Forest in a bar in nottingham:- Me pointing to my friend - "He doesn't like you." Forest - "I'm sorry." Me - "I don't like you, either." Me - Hey, you just watch yourself." Forest - "We don't want any trouble. Sorry." Me "You just watch yourself. We're wanted men. I have the death sentence on twelve systems." Forest - We've won the European cup you know........ Me- Really i've never heard you lot mention it!

Doubt that is as common knowledge as you think it is! One time I was asked to write a huge "ungooglable" Harry Potter quiz for the Sunday Telegraph so I admit I must have a degree of specialist knowledge. But I can only think of a handful of friends who wouldn't have picked up the reference. Of course, as everybody knows the term Squib wasn't introduced by Rowling until the second book (Chamber of Secrets) which has only sold something like 80 million copies when book one's well over 100 million, but I thought most people had read them. I'm now genuinely curious whether most forum readers would have picked it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 I like our rivalry with forest. I think most of the red dogs do as well. Although it always annoys them to be reminded that Brian Clough isn't all theirs. And the he said his biggest mistake in football was leaving Derby County.

After that it would probably be Liverpool/Man United, which is quite strange given United have their noisy neighbours. Of course a lot of this is influenced by the build ups we see on TV. I imagine there are a few other 'tasty' rivalries out there - Southampton/Portsmouth, Spurs/Arsenal, Burnley/Blackburn, Steel city are a few that come to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets get a few positive posts and clips of some of our better days against the red dogs ! Just look at those wonderful kits. The simplicity of it all. Oh joy.
