Billy Davies and Nigel Clough (and Malky)

[zztop]

I spend a fair bit of time on some of the Forest boards, as I live up here and Forest are my 2nd team.

You may remember Billy Davies's recent spat with MM over whether or not Forest are a big spending club. Now my theory is that whenever Forest get less than a win, BD tries to draw attention away from the game itself by raising some other issue.

I believe that he did this on Saturday regarding the "assault" allegation against Nigel Clough Forest lost to Derby, their local rivals. He has made a formal complaint of assault and lawyers are involved. It has worked because about 80% of the articles are about the incident in question, rather than the game itself.

Now I can't stand Billy Davies so I might be biased, but I have looked the video many times and, despite that Forest fans clearly seeing a vicious kick and being "outraged" at the incident, I fail to see anything more than a mild "coming together". I have described it as something that would have been ignored at Womens Institute "bring & buy sale" let alone a top football match involving grown men. Am I blind or what? What do you think? The incident occurs at about 5 min 19 secs into the video.

Clough does move his knee towards what is happening, but if you watch it, Billy Davies walks into it, its not as if Clough looked at him and did it!

[Robert Peel]

Davies is a c0ck.

My brother in law is a Derby fans and says that Davies is the father of all post match whingers. Apparently his moaning and slagging other teams off is routine and it seems it's high time someone put the boot in. He says that according to the video, Clough has words with him and he runs behind David Kelly to defend him.

For some reason, he also has a habit of talking in the third person e.g. "Billy Davies was not happy with today's performance".

Jumped up little ****.

seems to me like short persons chip on shoulder scenario here. What a waste of money to employ legal teams for something that is so stupid.

It won't be his own money will it?

Probably the clubs money but that is irrelevant, still is a big waste in terms of the real world!

[Keif]

Nigel Clough makes a sly "kick" towards BD?

Urm, Clough = not sly, but bold as brass.

If Nigel Clough wanted to kick anyone, he'd have kicked him for all to see. End of.

[Scalexman]

I think some of you need to look at it again.

Clough is on the edge of the melee, you see him clock Davies, move towards him, knee him (pretty hard too) and move back.

Clough deserves a medal, Davies is a coknocker.

i can't see that at all...

Regardless, Davies is pathetic. My least favourite Championship manager, no question about it.

[ImRonBurgundy?]

Looking at that again its pretty clear that Clough knees him

well done Nigel!

[UEA_Hornet]

Good old Cloughy. Definitely gives Davies a whack. Wish we could all do the same.

[Layton]

alls i can say is this..................why is this thread not in `other football` ?

[matimbers]

All i can say is that Clough should have raked his foot along the back of the little dwarf's achillies, much better

[Kieran]

I think i better take another look, with everyone seeing it but me....

Given the chance, i think we'd all give Billy Davies a whack.

I nearly put it there, but a following BD's recent rant over Malky's comments after our recent match, I thought it may be of interest here as well.
