Scapegoating is blaming someone for the fault of others. 

No one else deliberately hand balled it.

the discussion of scapegoating should have its own thread

this thread is about 'rallying call' i interpreted this discussion being for those who want the team to turn things around and grasp onto any optimism or glimmers of hope

i am a bit ashamed of some the stuff i have said and totally ashamed of the misery in post of the discussions on the forum

ultimately i apologise but i really enjoyed the Norwich game, we have some terrific potential and after a soul destroying start to the campaign and desperately out of form i think the team last night performed exceptionally well

if Forest players walk out onto the pitch to play Brentford with the same mentality and conviction as against Norwich i think we can win, i'm really looking forward to it .. hence i will avoid this forum to the very best of my ability as it feels like we are totally sh1te, useless, hopeless, 3 nil down before the game even kicks off

time to get behind the team

Agreed, its not scapegoating when it was 100% his fault

Do you still want me to put your 2-0 HT and 4-0 FT predictions on PSS, if you are buggering off?

100%? Definitely can't agree with that. It was a catalogue of errors again.

Knockeart committing a pointless foul for a free kick played a part.
Samba bitch slapping the ball against the players head played a huge part.
It was a certain goal by this point and whilst I don't claim to be psychic, I am fairly sure we wouldn't get back at Reading at 1-0 down with 10 or 11 men

Yates then stopped the certain goal - by cheating and was quite rightly red carded. So he can also take some blame, but not 100%.
However, IF the pen had been missed (moot point admittedly as it wasn't) and we ground out a 0-0....

Anyway, Narch away has shown a glimmer of hope, despite our statutory easy goal given away with another catalogue of errors.
