He didn't do anything special. Just did his job.

[Row Z Royal]

We were good at what we did and thoroughly deserved the win. Doyle took both of his goals well as did Hunty.

Were you casing the megastore?

Casing = Bouncer?

"Casing the joint"?

To rob it...

[rfcjoe]

nah, just w8in for my dad.

Bikey was MOM for me today - absolutely immense in every sense of the word.

I'd like to see a replay of the disallowed goal that was an own goal and I'd like to see a replay of the penalty shout - looked nailed on from where I was sitting. Referee was poor. I'd give everyone 8 and give Bikey a 9 personally.

Goal was supposedly disallowed due to shirt pulling. Not that i saw anything wrong with that. Innocuous compared to some of the climbing, barging and pulling back going on from the opposition.

He was good in the tackle and pushed the game forward. Made some good passes.

[rg6royal]

Shirt pulling happens all the time but isn't penalised. Just because a goal perhaps came from it then it's a foul.

[The whole year inn]

Great from Bikey in keeping Hulse anonymous. Hopefully he will do the same to Beattie next week

I thorougly enjoyed the match today! Was one of my favourites this season, minus the outrages desicions made by the ref and the assistant ref (the one who was by the east stand...) that doyle header WAS in and the goal should've stood! but the game itself was very good. Derby proved, in some aspects of the match, why they were the worst team in history, last season...the attempts at goal that they were gifted will never come any easier! I thought Marek did really well in midfield too, SLong isn't really up to his full potential yet and maybe we need Mr Henry on the bench? Excuse me if he was, i got to the match late, just arrived in time for KO.

USA: 7
Rosenier: 7
Bikey: 8- brilliant defending once again
Armstrong: 8
Kebe: 8- he will score a goal...someday! was really impressed with the way he played.
Harper: 7
Cisse: 7
SHunt: 7- I don't know whats up with him atm, he doesn't seem to be playing as well as he can, tho saying that, he did work really hard today.
NHunt: 8- his goal was brilliant and his celebration was funny!
Doyle: 9- Great player. I'm so glad he's staying, he certaintly prooved his worth today and thank God for Mr Doyle!

I only wish i could go to the Shef Utd match next week now!

Cisse 7? Are you kidding? He played great today.

Your being critical of rg6royal's rating when you rated Noel Hunt 7?

[From Despair To Where?]

Thought we did more than enough without having to do too much. Reckon we had 2 or three more gears we could have used if we had to. Was a bit concerned for the first 10 minutes but Derby, whilst far fom being the worst team i've seen us play this season, were pretty useless. Hard for me to judge how well everyone played because it all seemed far too easy.

Yeah

There were several replays of this on the big screen at half-time - surprisingly! Absolutely nothing wrong with it from what I could see. One Derby player appealed for pushing but the ref clearly gave it for shirt-pulling - but in 4 replays I couldn't see anything even vaguely like that. Should definitely have been a goal from what I could see.

[Big Bears Blouse]

Good pretty much all round really.

Bikey was rock solid, making everything look easy
Rosenior and Armstrong made a few very good last ditch tackles and they look to be doing well
Hunt was below his normal standard
Kebe was taking on players and getting in and around the box well - what we've come to expect
Cisse looked a rock and a great player - shirley soon to partner Marek.
Doyle and NHunts partnership is growing ever stronger.

Best part of today, for me, was seeing Marek back in action. Awesome when he came on and good to see he hasn't lost it since his injury.

Not a great referee performance however, especially the penalty that never was, what does everyone think?

All round, a good game and good result. Keep it up lads!

Working won't get there in time for the match

[towserSL2crew]

Its lookin good. All over the pitch we look good. Best pair of full backs in the league , they both tackle well and get forward well.
Bikey is fantastic and looks unbeatable.
The midfield , Sir Steve seems to switch around and they are all playing well and up front Supa Kev and Noel the goal play superbly together.
Lets keep it going boys , see ya in Sheffield.
