''As Norwich held them to a draw''

They held us judging by every report I''ve heard.

''Both teams had to settle for a point''

Forest would''ve settled for a point after an hour according the radio

''Norwich will feel appeased by the late reprieve''

Err, what?

Why do the national press seem to hate Norwich and never give us any credit?

Nott''m Forest   1 - 1   Norwich

Nottingham Forest are still searching for their first win of the season after being held to a draw by Norwich.

The

visitors had twice hit the woodwork before Forest went ahead when

Dexter Blackstock scored a penalty after Paul Anderson''s foul on Russell

Martin
.

Andrew Crofts scooped the ball over keeper Lee Camp from 12 yards to pull the Canaries level.

Forest almost snatched a win late on but Robert Earnshaw''s 89th minute strike hit the post.

Norwich

will feel appeased by the late reprieve following the woodwork having

twice denied Chris Martin as they dominated the early stages of the

match.

Firstly, Chris Martin turned Forest defender Wes Morgan

and fired a shot against the crossbar before he saw a free-kick from

just outside the area come back off the post.

Forest took

advantage by taking the lead after Russell Martin brought down Anderson

and Blackstock beat City goalkeeper John Ruddy.

The Canaries

continued to threaten and duly equalised when Crofts finished from 12

yards after Forest failed to clear their lines.

Elliott Ward

headed an Andrew Surman corner over as Norwich almost took the lead and,

after Earnshaw''s late effort for Forest, both teams had to settle for a

point.

Because the person doing the report probably didnt go, they report the facts, and then fill in the blanks. The tabloids do the same thing.The only other possibility is it was done by a BBC reporter based in Nottingham, hence an obvious bias.

Also from that BBC report:"The visitors had twice hit the woodwork before Forest went ahead when

Dexter Blackstock scored a penalty after Paul Anderson''s foul on Russell

Martin.

[quote user="Mister Chops"]Does anyone else think that perhaps Radio Norfolk were a teeny bit biased themselves?

Read something the other day on BBC Sport about David Marshall Norwich Goalkeeper to do with the Scotland squad. It''s minor details, employ someone who gives two hoots about football and they''ll iron out the creases.

To be fair remember, the BBC are trying to accumulate info on so many sources for so many stories and do a really good job. They will make mistakes, but on the whole their coverage of all sport is first rate. Of course we''re more experts on Norwich that their reporters are likely to be, but theres 100 teams in the main English divisions and they can''t be expected to employ experts on every team.

NOTW today, start the report, "Forest, who finished third last term and were beaten by Blackpool in the play-off''s, were second-best to League One champions Norwich and just sneaked a draw". At least someone got it right.
