Forest Groundsman & Keogh Situation...

[Simon]

Can't condone the behavior of the groundsman on this unfortunately and as people have said i don't think it will end well.

If Keogh was taking chunks out of the pitch it just confirms what a mardy snide tit he really is.

Somebody somewhere must have this on video....

I can't imagine for one second that, if the groundsman has attacked Keogh in any way, he did so without provocation. I'm not saying that he was right to have done it (if he did do it) of course, but I'd love to know all the facts about the whole incident.

If I was a groundsman and somebody came over and started ripping up the turf I was working on I wouldn't be very happy. Not saying that is what happened but the groundman is not going to chin Keogh without a very good reason I'd imagine.

I hope we bill the sheep for the damage to the groundsman's shovel.  :D

:D :D  Ah SR that made me laugh out loud.

On another note Keogh was the only Derby player to show any fight on the pitch last night.

I wonder who GRASSED up the groundsman?  :D

As I posted on another thread - and it's rumour only - that a couple of people on Twitter reckon he was kicking chunks out of the pitch while warming down. Rumour only of course.

So if that turns out to be true then Keogh was clearly making fun of and provoking and disrespecting the groundman and our staff/club.

Exactly , the blokes an absolute kunt !
I'm just disappointed he didn't get run over by the lawnmower.

Damn right  :D

I work in the profession and us ground staff are very protective over our turf.

I fully hope the club stand by the member of staff in question, no doubt like myself he’ll take a lot of pride in his work.

It’s easy to get wind up when you see someone disrespecting what you’ve either worked hard at or trying to achieve especially with it being that c*nt. I would’ve taken great pleasure in twatting that waste of sperm.

Maybe it all kicked off when the groundsman asked Keogh to stop crying all over the pitch ?

Early days and whilst it does look bad and Keogh is not the nicest of chaps, it does remind me how ridiculously precious football groundsmen are.

On average for 90 minutes a fortnight it gets some stick and then about a dozen staff preen the thing like it's made of silk until the next usage. Meanwhile over the road at Trent Bridge, almost consant useage, the condition  of the pitch can have direct consequences on the results of games, yet they are happy for youngsters to tread on the hallowed turf between innings (albeit on the outfield) and have a bit of a knock at the ended of T20 games.
Just irritates me. Can't stand Keough so hope he "started it", but suspect some jumped up little Hitler reacted to his  childish antics. Time will tell.

F*ck me!!

Just in case you didn’t know pal, football and cricket are entirely different sports where both surfaces are prepped, maintained and looked after in entirely different ways. 

But I suppose you’re one of these who thinks ground staff just mow grass and paint white lines on pitches and do absolute sod all between games. 

Forest have one of the top stadium pitches and training pitchers in the country and that’s certainly no fluke.

Well said GM. I see no reason why you would expect a dedicated Craftsman should allow an idiot to damage and disrespect his and his teams pride and joy.
