FA charge
Thu 03 Sep 2009
The Football Association has charged Nottingham Forest and Derby County with failing to control their players and officials while Forest striker Nathan Tyson has been charged with improper conduct.
The charges relate to a mass confrontation between players and officials from both clubs at the conclusion of the match at The City Ground on 29 August. Tyson's charge relates to his behaviour after the final whistle.
All parties have until 18 September to respond to the charges.

Lets make pride park a fortress this season, with players like Savage, Addison, Dickov and now Hendrie, plus others, teams should be worried about playing at pride park this season!
Marino Rahmberg said:Given that, they will see Leacock with Tyson doing nothing much really, until three of your players come sprinting over and start pushing. To be honest I think everything has been said that could possibly be said on this. We all knew both clubs would be done and that Tyson would be charged with something too.
Rich. said:The fighting is a separate incident, as anyone with a bit of an eagle eye, would have spotted Tyson was down the other end of the pitch when the punches began to be thrown.
Rich. said:Video evidence?
He waved at the Derby fans.
As much as I support Tyson, and think it was a fantastic thing to do, he did gesture at the Derby fans. I love him for it, don't get me wrong, but all this 'he was just on a lap of honour' and 'he was looking at the Forest fans above' stuff is nonsense.
He knew what he was doing, it was obvious what he was about to do, and it was, as a Forestfan, absolute class.
The Derby fans may moan, but roles reversed, they'd have loved it too. They all enjoyed Savage and his scarf and badge kissing, as well they should. I seem to remember remarking in the Southbank that night that I wish we had a player who cared enough to pickup on the rivalry in such a way. This season we seem to have one. It's football, lets just get on with it. I imagine there will be a similar antic should Derby beat us in January. THey may say there won't be, but I bet there will be, and there should be. It's great for the fans to be able to identify with a player.
