Pompeyowl 2,709 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Watching SSN this afternoon and they spoke about the Brian Clough Cup that is competed for between Derby and Nottingham Forest each time they play. It got me wondering how people would feel if we had a Derek Dooley Cup to be played for each Steel City derby? Link to post Share on other sites
WBridgfordowl 1,001 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Might be years before we have to play those scubbers again Perhaps pre-season County Cup? Link to post Share on other sites
SandersonsElectronic 3 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Great idea that. Link to post Share on other sites
royalowlisback 9,205 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Should be the Henderson's Cup, or the Derek Dooley Cup sponsored by Henderson's. Link to post Share on other sites
Pompeyowl 2,709 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 Might be years before we have to play those scubbers again Perhaps pre-season County Cup? Reality would say that we could end up playing them next season. I can't imagine it'll be a great deal of time until we play them next. Should be the Henderson's Cup, or the Derek Dooley Cup sponsored by Henderson's. Good idea that. Link to post Share on other sites

It got me wondering how people would feel if we had a Derek Dooley Cup to be played for each Steel City derby? I believe it was THE GREAT JACK CHARLTON who said of US versus the pigs... "YOU NEED (to play) US, WE DON'T NEED (to play) YOU"... Link to post Share on other sites
KivoOwl 10,450 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I fear we may be swapping places next season. Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny 21,831 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I don't think it would be a very good idea, mainly because there isn't really any point to it. Our rivalry is already big and established with the winner getting 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites
Pompeyowl 2,709 Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 The point would be to remember a legend of Sheffield football. Imagine in 50 years time, we play the pigs and win the Derek Dooley cup. It'll be another way of remembering the legend. Link to post Share on other sites
Guest oasisowl81 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 whatever happened to the sheffield steel city cup can remember us beating em at sty 3~1 one pre season after they went down an we were in premier league Link to post Share on other sites
Sonny 21,831 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I'm not that bothered personally. Sorry, you did ask. Link to post Share on other sites

musingowl 470 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 Clough managed both Forest and Derby to glory. Dooley played for and managed us, he did a bit of paperwork for pigs. Link to post Share on other sites
HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU 30,527 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 McCabe would probably want to call it The Jessica Ennis Cup. Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife. Link to post Share on other sites
BIG D 22,540 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 (edited) We'll both be in league we're in now next season. We won't be going down and the Scrubbers certainly won't be promoted. Edited September 30, 2012 by BIG D Link to post Share on other sites
Pompeyowl 2,709 Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 crap idea imo Why? Link to post Share on other sites
dorian gray 4,769 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Why? why would we want to play that lot of tinpot mongers by choice... it's like walking down the street looking for dog sh*t to tread in... leave them where they are... Link to post Share on other sites
Dark$ide 1,273 Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Didn't we have a Steel City cup pre-season "Friendly" with a trophy and everything in the 1990's ? I vaguely remember Dan Pretescru having a stormer at the lane just after signing. Link to post Share on other sites

Read my opening post. The cup wouldn't be played as a friendly but in competetive matches whenever we play ie in the league or cup. Link to post Share on other sites
