Someone is due a twatting. Hopefully today is the day

Just seen something on Forest's main forum. It was in the 89-90 season. Their player head's the ball out of Dibble's hand, and then puts it into the net. Goal allowed! The basis was that Dibble was only holding it with one hand (he's clearly completely in control of it. And actually, I've never played keeper, but it strikes me that when you're just about to kick it upfield, as Dibble was clearly about to do, you very often hold it with one hand, rather than both, for a brief instant).
Never seen that before. Was the ref right within the strict laws of the game? Would he be right today?

On a side note: on the sidelines. Howard Kendall doing his nut. Aah, what could have been! Howard, why oh why did you go? The nineties would surely have been different.

 

[flook]

no Ake? :/ always weaker without him

 

[paulchapo]

Well done!

 

[Chi-town blues]

That bench , oh dear , no injuries please cosmos

COME ON BLUEBOYS

lol it’s so thin they had to put moreno‘s first and last name just to fill it up and look dense.

 

[ninjamonkey]

No surprises there. Would have thrown gomez in from the start personally. Just because the fringe players will have to play a bigger role this season if we are to cope with such a small squad and forest at home should be manageable. Go hard from minute 1 overwhelm them get it won early then ring the changes. No dramas today. 3 points no injuries.

Good job we play a short game now then.

Strong line-up...very...come on, blues.

 

[Frank the Yank]

No complaints about that line up. Probably will see Jack at some time today as he must start to regain some kind of match fitness. Would also love to see Rico get some minutes today. Anyone else a bit concerned for his progress due to his lack of playing time lately? Its a long season but still....would love to see him involved.

Howard went because Everton came calling for him and you couldn’t blame him at the time especially with it being his home club. He would’ve made us into a really good side (he was starting to do that anyway) and it was a real shame him leaving.
