Grabban by name, grabbing by nature and not grabbing goals but Huddlestone's arm, shirt or anything else that came to hand. Huddlestone had a red mist and was lucky not to be sent off when he retaliated by running in to the back of Grabban, something the referee saw, strangley enough. Especially as Huddlestone received a yellow later on for a handball which didn't look deliberate. Wondering how Grabban manages to be leading scorer this season. Does the referee order the opposition defence to stand still so he can have free shots?
Disappointed Marriott couldn't put more pressure on their number 44 Hefalump. On what planet is he a footballer. Stephen Hawking had better skill and mobility. To think the Forest fans don't rate Keogh yet they play that useless lump of meat.

How the hell is Nigel Clough included in a list of our past greats
I'm pretty sure Spart - that last night, Forest would rather Keogh had not played. He thwarted them at every turn. Apart from his giving the ball away once, Keign had a near perfect game.

Igor! Nigel came to us when we were in a disastrous state. He sorted out many on the pitch, dressing room and contact office problems and set us on our present course. We. owe a lot to Nigel.
Did he ever wear the shirt?

He wore a hair shirt for a while.
Nigel Clough is a legend for kneeing Billy Davies up the backside on camera and getting away with it.
Good report as usual Ramdini. I also thought Lawrence had a better game and came back and defended more than I've seen him do before. I wish his shot had been on target.
Keogh, Tomori and Bogle did well in defence but Malone isn't as good as Forsyth, I hope we do something about this in January.
Mount is a bit of a worry and hasn't played well since he was picked for the England squad. I hope he gets back to his early form soon.
In the end I was happy with the draw. My wife is in the QMC after an operation and in the next bed the woman's husband is an ardent Forest fan and I would have hated to meet him today if we'd lost.
Welcome back Heb, the croft probably needed some attention before winter I suppose.

VC! I hope Mrs VC is getting better from her op and was able t hold her own against the Mrs Red Dog. Don't suppose they argued much anyway.
As for the draw - not a bad result - but what a pity about the ref. I see it more as 2 points stolen by Keith Stroud.
As I said in the report, he should be made to explain himself in front of a Referee's Tribunal.
Oh dear, at least they thoughtfully provided little free flags for you to dry your eyes on. 🤭
VC10 - likewise I hope Mrs VC10 well and assume you will be catering for her every need over Xmas.
As far as last night, we needed to score in the 1st half but couldn't quite make the break through.
It should have been a penalty, without any doubt, but even then it wasn't something we created; more a stupid challenge by their lad.
Overall, we lacked the creative cutting edge, which was a shame.
But, against my expectations, we didn't concede the last minute winner that the Dogs have managed before.
Forest clearly the happier of the 2 teams. Karanka is a very dour manager and his team selection reflects it. After watching some highlights and im baffled how the ref never gave a penalty for the challenge on Lawrence. Stonewall penalty.

At least you have taken a balanced view. It would have been a penalty, despite their being little intent and minimal contact, but Lawrence went down too theatrically with his eyes pleading with the ref IMO. That planted a seed of doubt in the ref’s head. Can’t blame him for not being convinced. Shame for Lawrence as he had a great game.
You keep telling yourself that Will.
Forest came for the draw but it's us that will be happier, two cleans sheets heading into the business end of the season bodes really well.
Without doubt we will finish higher.
Thank you Peeder and Ramdini for your kind remarks.
Mrs VC10 is doing much better now and can't wait to get home, even though my house keeping skills are rather non existent. I knew she was feeling better when she started complaining about the food.
She hasn't fallen out with her red dog neighbour as she isn't interested about football. I took her to a match at Burnley once in about 1970 and she hated it.
Will, I don't think the ref was looking into Tommy's eyes as he plainly couldn't see very well. I think your team has improved this season, but that wasn't too hard really.
And pardon me for not wishing Mrs VC well in her recovery
Happy Christmas to all of you and yours.

Players don't throw themselves down like that. They would risk injury from the landing. There was no play acting, that was a hack down of a player lining up a shot on goal. Whether there was intent which I doubt or accident which I suspect it would be given 99 times out of a hundred. Were a similar scenario to happen in the return game to a Forest player I am certain that you would be disappointed in the referee.
We shouldn't blame the referee that we didn't win. We didn't create enough in the first half when we were on top to put pressure on that useless number 44 hefalump who hasn't a clue how to play football. Lawrence and Wilson should also have tested the goal keeper more. He is known to be suspect.
Noticed Forest played plenty of low crosses and corners obviously taking the cue from some our recent soft goals. Fortunately we seemed to have ironed out that problem. Carson is coming out to intercept rather than leave it to the central defenders.

Here’s a question for you. Would Derby rather have had the penalty and a chance at a lead or lose Bogle to a three match ban with Forsyth already out injured?
The 3 points.
Bogle is on the other wing.
Fair enough, it would leave you very short of full backs was my point.
With a January window opening and a recall for Lowe.
Hardly a crisis.
Did you even watch the game Ramdini?
No mention of two red cards, the Stone curtain [sic] penalty was not a penalty, correct decision.
No mention of Forest having the better opportunities and probably deserved the win more than FLDC.
Other than that, spot on
