Nine in a row against dirty Leeds, Sammon was as awful as ever, but a good win.
Why did Billy Davies for Forest though make six changes to a winning team, that then didn't win, and only drew cauz of a 97th penalty lol
Forest fans get there first glimpse of how bad Billy can be lol
Another good win for the mighty Rams

A penalty given in the 97th could be considered slightly fortuitous.

Could be. Except it was a clear penalty, and the advertised 5 minutes of stoppage time didn't match 2 lengthy injury holdups and lots of substitutions in the second half.
Burnley hardly threatened, but got a lucky goal from a deflected shot. So despite a tepid display, we deserved the draw.

Don't forget that the actual foul wasn't after 97 minuites it was after 95.

Also if Dyche had not tried to waste time by bringing on a sub three mins into the extra period we would not have had the extra 30 seconds in which the penno was won.

Can you imagine a club with a private, answerable to no-one, individual of unlimited wealth with an ambition to reach again the dizzy heights of European football, smoothing the way for a match official to extend the game by about 10 minutes until an opportunity to award a penalty arises, thus gaining a point and denying a close competitor 2 points in their quest for promotion?

Can you imagine a game with five substitutes and number of injuries having five mins of stoppage time then three mins into that the home manager trying to eat up more time by making another change thus adding another half a min. Then during this extra thirty seconds a player is fouled and wins a penalty.
Probably more likely than your 'he bribed the ref' theory.

I never suggested there was bribery involved. That's just your imagination.

This is nice the Sheep getting all excited about a work of fiction and a supposed rivalry with a club who don't care about them!
Now if I was to mention 2 European Cups I be told to stop living in the past yet all Derby fans do is live even further in the past

As always the Derby posters are good for a laugh. Having been at the game and seen how much time was spent by Burnley players on the flour only to spring to life with the ref motioned for the physio I think justice was served. There would never have been 7 minutes of added on time if they had honest and just got up when they should have. I would say the same about Brighton (who seemed to have turned up without any studs in their boots).
So no need to make childish acquisitions about our owners but a bit of natural justice on those seeking to waste time to win a game of football.
FoF.
P.s. Yes really seeing how bad Billy is especially the part about making the team play to the last whistle - truly a sign of a poor motivator and inept manager.
P.s.s. who is that other team that always gets lucky by not giving up lost causes.

So that's why their pies are so good. Kneedless to say that is extreme time wasting.
