GAME 5: FOREST 0 LEED 2
This game was so devoid of significant action that Stress has decided to pad out his report with clichés, just like a real journalist, haven't you Stress?
It is what it is, Pie.
That's the ticket, Stress. Off you go then.
Forest's two nil defeat to Leed certainly came as a bit of a blow, a slap in the face, a reality check. It put things into perspective, which might be a good thing or a bad thing depending on what putting things into perspective actually means. Perhaps it means Forest aren't as good as they think they are. Perhaps they've eaten too much complacency pie. They should remember that an idle mind is the devil's playground.
I'm sorry, Stress, you've lost me.
Never apologise, Pie, it's a sign of weakness. As I was saying, Forest were certainly below par, considering all the hype. Fine talk butters no parsnips, however, and all talk and no action made Forest a very dull boy who was, for the most part, asleep at the wheel.
Forest began slowly, but all credit to Leed: they pressed Forest high, closed them down, stifled their creativity, killed their buzz, popped their cork, curdled their milk, and did many more things that should only be spoken of in hushed tones. So all credit to Leed for doing the bleeding obvious. Forest's response to the obvious, however, doesn't bode well for the future. As Kevin Costner nearly said in that netball film: If they press us, we will fold. The half time team talk from Warburton Warburton must have been something likeTrust in your own game, lads, because plan B, it seemed, was Plan A in reverse - concede the second goal at the end of the half instead of the beginning.
Bit harsh, Stress.
I say it as I see it, Pie. I will admit, though, that Forest did miss Vaughan, the Welsh wizard. That was plain from the start, as plain as the nose on a spiteful man's face. But overall, too many players were off the boil, too many players couldn't handle the hot kitchen sink, too many players went missing in action. Leed weren't that much better, so the match ended up as something of a dry pie, which is why we ended up talking about "Dunkirk", that so called epic poem of a film which turned out to be little more than a non-interactive video game with p'rnographic violence. What a waste of money that was. If you're thinking of going, don't. Anyway, to get back to the truisms, Forest have a lot of work to do. There's a learning curve there somewhere. Especially for the defence, which continues to leak like a bucketful of holes. New faces are needed to plug the gaps. I know it's early doors, but at the end of the day the bottom line is that you can't win the title in August but you can lose it, and that's a lesson we could all take a leaf out of. In short, it may have been a bad day at the office, but this is a results business, and if you don't cut the mustard then the bears will sh|t on your rollercoaster.
That doesn't make any sense, Stress.
Have you looked at the world lately, Pie? Have you taken a really good look? Because I have, and believe you me, it's like getting blood from a turnip.
The world is like getting blood from a turnip.
So you've noticed it too?
No, but I think you'd better sum up now before the green van comes. The match was...
...Nothing to write home about.
Nothing to write sense about, certainly.
As Kevin Costner nearly said in that wolf film: You may say that - I couldn't possibly comment.

Maybe it was the sun that got into his eyes? It was he blinded by the delicious new away strip the Sheep were sporting.
Billy Sharp certainly enjoyed the occasion.

He wouldn't have enjoyed the sickening tweets that a so-called Rams fan sent him referring to the death of his child; absolute sc um and thankfully rsoundingly condemned by every other Ram with a twitter account.
There's always one, hey? I sincerely hope he gets a kicking from whoever is closest to him, that his bosses find out and sack him, and that he's made to see the consequences of his stupidity generally.

I can assure you Will that the pie incident will be revived everytime somebody wants to demostrate the stupidity of football fans. What better fans to demonstrate this.

As will flying a plane over your rivals ground just because you won a Div 2 league match.

That's not good to here. I don't think he would have needed any extra motivation to beat Derby but that would have really got me bursting to go out and put one over the Rams. He could make an official complaint and it would be fairly easy to trace the culprit.
As with falling out over queue jumping, incidents like that show how easy some football fans fail to engage their brains and act on impulse.

It was after the match but the mush has been named and shamed on social media; the club are liaising with the police around what punishment they're allowed to dish out, have contacted Twitter to have the account confirmed, and are generally chomping at the bit to make an example of the lad...all power to their elbow, I hope he gets done in every sense of the word for his disgusting comments.

What better fans you ask?
How about the fan you run on the pitch and attacked Wilson from behind? Or the fans who smashed up our old chairmans car or as Will already suggested to fans you hired the plane
When it comes to fan behaviour the Derby lot really need to shhhh 😉

He's been banned for life, home and away, and publicly named and shamed.
Let that be a lesson to the keyboard warriors

Yep, fair play to Derby. Could have said it is a matter for the police and left it at that. Sends a really strong message out. Hope it is replicated elsewhere.

I met the pie guy on December 19th 2015. I remember it well as it was the last match I took my Mum to.
We were both in the queue in the exact same spot and some rat looking bloke with 5 chimney sweep kids decided to jump the queue.
Then, whilst being served...The El Rato looking smack fiend decided that I had pushed in front of the other gang of thieves that he was loosely related to and started saying we had pushed in front of them and how dare we attack children.
He then proceeded to threaten us both for essentially allowing his maggots to wriggle to the front of the line.
As my Mum only had a few months left to live, I figured that teaching him a lesson via fisticuffs was probably the wrong idea. I also quite enjoy watching Forest so instead of trying to win an argument against an idiot I left them to their chocolate, crisps and smokes and returned to my seat.
The bald headed bloke who got smacked in the video, was the bloke I was with when they threatened us both. I guess he'd just had enough.
Note* El Rato was born in Derby.
