Rich84 Posted February 19, 2023 Share Posted February 19, 2023 Is it just me, but at the time I thought the 2nd goal was an own goal, I stand in South stand to the left of the goal and it clearly came off Hector, didn't realise Cash actually got a touch until I saw the highlights..... But, I've been saying for ages it's about time he scored, so hopefully this will kick start us getting more from set pieces sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, their player seemed to be coming into the tackle with the intent to take out our player, but at the last second held back and played the ball out for a corner. We had a great view from the lower east stand. Had it been the other way round, we'd be screaming about the EFL referees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all know the EFL, FA and referees association have a vendetta against Derby and we never get questionable decisions in our favour. ? kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobbin on the deck a couple of seconds after the "tackle" with the ball clearly still in play and rolling slowly towards the goal line. The tackler clearly brought Dobbin down in the tackle and prevented him playing on. Kathcairns and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if the ball had gone over the touchline, the ref would have assumed the defender got there, but because it effectively went precisely where Dobbin would have wanted it to, he assumed Dobbin had done it. Plus of course, it was in line with their take-out attempts throughout the match Crewton and DavesaRam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it was basically 12 players for the rest of the season which included 7 cup games. Who was Tony Bailey , I recall Arthur Stewart & Pat Wright playing a few games in that period .

Reggie Greenwood Posted February 20, 2023 Share Posted February 20, 2023 1 hour ago, Magicman said: Who was Tony Bailey , I recall Arthur Stewart & Pat Wright playing a few games in that period . What is remarkable is that Derby used only 16 players all season and three of them - Powell, Jim Walker and Tony Bailey - made only six starts and four substitute appearances between them although Walker grabbed a crucial winner against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. Goalkeeper Colin Boulton and Hector played all 42 league games, John Robson missed just one. The players used and the number of appearances they made were: Colin Boulton (42), Ron Webster (38), John Robson (41), John McGovern (40), Terry Hennessey (18), Colin Todd (40), Roy McFarland (38), Archie Gemmill (40), John O'Hare (40), Kevin Hector (42), Alan Hinton (38), Alan Durban (31), Frank Wignall (11), Jim Walker (6), Steve Powell (3), Tony Bailey (1). Taken from a DET report. Tony was a Burton lad BC bought for £1000 if my memory serves me right . jono and Magicman 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right that he had no intention of playing the ball, but he dud clatter Dobbin pretty damn hard. It was a yellow verging on a red. So the goal was sweet justice!

But if you plan it right, it can still be a good and complete day out I reckon. Arrive in Oxford at 9-10, walk to the centre, have breakfast, do some sightseeing, have a pint, and get a bus / taxi to the stadium at 1:30, perhaps? You will probably still get a good feel for the city. The centre isn’t particularly big. David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will probably still get a good feel for the city. The centre isn’t particularly big. This is why we are staying in Reading, or to be more exact Caversham. Friday till Sunday, Plan is go down Friday morning book in at the Crown Plaza on the Thames, go for a swim in the pool, sauna and steam room. Go for a walk along the Thames, call in the Griffin for a drink and food somewhere. Saturday morning free full English breakfast in the hotel then drive the 23 miles to Oxford ( which is about my normal drive to a home game.) Drop my wife off to do her thing in Oxford While I go to the match. Back to Caversham to celebrate ?? ??.Sunday morning full English pool, sauna ,steam room , feed the ??check out, steady ride back calling somewhere on the way. 4 star Crowne Plaza exec room with Thames view about half the price of a 3star in Oxford. I love away weekends. Blondest Goat and cstand 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We couldn’t get inside last Saturday. All of the tours had sold out. We really liked going to the Turf Tavern. A pub tucked away near the Bridge of Sighs. There is also a rooftop bar at the top of the Ashmolean. cstand 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
