I was just having yet another debate with a Forest fan about the levels of discipline in the recent match held at their shed, where we once again humbled the mouthy mob from down the wrong end of Brian Clough way.
His argument was that basically, Derby are a dirty bunch of cloggers and that the poor daisys at the City Ground were lucky to come away fully intact. As indeed, he claimed, will all teams who play us.
Seeking evidence to support my counter claim that it is in fact the Forest team who can't be relied on to attempt only to kick the ball I found this web site.

Needless to say, I have as yet, had no retaliatory comment from my tree obsessed friend.

According to that link, 7 of the Championship's "Top 50 Bad Boys" play for a small club called Nottingham Forest. That can't be true...surely!
Their most booked? Simon "The New Kevin Davies" Cox, closely followed by Andy Reid and Adlene Guedioura.
For those interested, our very own Craig Bryson is ranked 52nd - our "dirtiest player". Coincidentally, he scored the winner in our last game against said small club

I Craig Bryson cause he loves his MUM, and Celtic would really love him but he loves us.
Coughs best signing.
