    Time:90'
    • Cardiff City
    • Nottingham Forest
    • 90+4' The full-time whistle goes and Cardiff's chance to go top of the Championship is spoiled by substitute Lewis McGugan's stoppage-time strike! Thanks for joining us.
    • 90+3' It looks to be honours even at the Cardiff City Stadium as the ball is held in midfield.
    • 90+1' GOAL!!! MCGUGAN EQUALISES IN STOPPAGE TIME! The ball falls for the substitute on the edge of the area after taking a deflection off Hudson, and he lashes home a fierce volley into the far corner of Marshall's net!
    • 90' Four minutes will be added at the end of the second half as Morgan begins another Forest attack from the back.
    • 89' Kennedy throws the ball into the box as Forest are able to clear and break through McGugan.
    • 88' Cohen's pass to McKenna is intercepted by Chopra but Bothroyd takes the ball wide.
    • 87' Hudson and Burke exchange passes on halfway as Forest press desperately.
    • 86' Forest pile bodies into the box for a corner and Wilson misses his kick as the ball falls to him, unmarked at the back post!
    • 85' Rae and Whittingham ensure that the hosts' build-up play is patient and considered as they look to while away the final five minutes
    • 84' McGugan is unable to find the final ball as he surges through the Cardiff half.
    • 83' Gerrard and Hudson have been very assured and commanding at the back for Cardiff today and Forest cannot find a way through.
    • 81' Cohen prepares to whip in Forest's third corner of the match but Cardiff clear through Hudson.
    • 80' Forest press forward through McKenna but his through ball to Anderson is shepherded out of play by Gerrard.
    • 79' Marshall is quickly off his line to claim a high ball above Anderson and can now alleviate the danger.
    • 78' Cohen pumps the ball upfield to Adebola and McGoldrick but it drops to safety.
    • 77' Adebola is typically imposing in winning the aerial balls in the Cardiff half and the striker is proving effective.
    • 76' Moussi is the man to make way as McGugan, sporting a face mask, comes on in Forest's final throw of the dice.
    • 75' Matthews makes a strong challenge on McKenna as Cardiff defend stoutly.
    • 74' Moussi picks the ball up from deep for Forest and brings it forward with good intent, but McCleary's cross is poor.
    • 73' Lewis McGugan looks set to come on for Forest as Davies eyes up his final move.
    • 71' Chopra plays a hopeful long ball up to Bothroyd but Wilson is quickly in to make the challenge.
    • 70' Cohen finally retrieves the ball for Forest as the visitors look to make their mark.
    • 69' The goal has really put a spring in Cardiff's step as they press forward once more through Bothroyd down the left.
    • 67' The home fans are in full voice as Burke and Chopra combine down the right.
    • 65' Nathan McCleary comes on to replace Joe Garner for Forest as Billy Davies takes immediate action.
    • 64' There was a suspicion of offside about the goal but Cardiff will not care as Wilson and Morgan lead the protests.
    • 63' GOAL!!! BOTHROYD BREAKS THE DEADLOCK! Chopra and Ledley combine before an impeccably-weighted through ball from the Welshman finds Bothroyd who tucks his shot under the diving Lee Camp!
    • 62' Dele Adebola comes on to replace Majewski for Forest as Billy Davies makes his first change.
    • 61' Cohen leaves Ledley in a crumpled heap after a robust challenge on halfway, but that was a fair tackle.
    • 59' Ledley comes perilously close to breaking the deadlock with a bundled shot from close range which Majewski clears off the line following Whittingham's cross from the right.
    • 58' Matthews launches yet another long throw into the Forest box but again it is Morgan who meets it to clear.
    • 57' Chopra surges forward and his low drive is deflected away for a corner.
    • 55' Ledley and Rae combine in the Cardiff half before the latter's shot goes wide of the far post.
    • 54' Garner lays the ball off to Majewski, but his shot is high and wide from the edge of the area.
    • 53' Moussi and McKenna direct proceedings in front of the Forest defence and the visitors begin to settle.
    • 52' The home fans are back in full voice following Bothroyd's opportunity and Cardiff attack once more through Burke.
    • 51' Bothroyd is put clean through by a powerful header from Gerrard but his first touch is poor and Wilson gets back to intervene superly.
    • 49' Matthews prepares to launch a long throw into the box, but he misdirects it and the ball runs straight out of play.
    • 48' Matthews makes a smart challenge with Majewski making good ground down the left.
    • 47' It is a slightly subdued start to the second half with the rain having abated and the crowd yet to get involved.
    • 46' The second half is underway with Forest kicking us off and neither manager has deemed it necessary to make any changes.
    • 45+4' The half-time whistle goes at the Cardiff City Stadium and it is goalless, despite numerous good chances for either side - expect goals in the second half!
    • 45+3' Kennedy fouls Majewski in a dangerous area on the edge of the Cardiff box which he takes himself but curls narrowly wide.
    • 45+2' Cohen lumps the ball upfield to McGoldrick as the rain begins to teem it down!
    • 45+1' Bothroyd clatters Majewski on halfway but that was just clumsy - an honest, if ugly-looking tackle.
    • 45' Four minutes will be added at the end of this first half with Bothroyd back in full flight following his knock earlier on.
    • 45' Whittingham makes a rash tackle on Gunter which sends the defender sprawling - it was high and reckless and it prompts an almighty ruck between the two sets of players!
    • 44' Rae has slotted in well for Cardiff since coming on in midfield and he makes a fine challenge to dispossess Moussi.
    • 43' Burke attempts to reach a deep cross from the left by Ledley but again Cohen is quickly across to clear ahead of him.
    • 42' Cohen has been quietly efficient for Forest and he makes a very clean challenge on Whittingham to break up another Cardiff attack.
    • 41' Davies is in deep discussion with members of his staff as he prepares to give his half-time team talk.
    • 40' Gunter launches a long throw-in down the line which McKenna cannot latch on to with Kennedy marking him tightly.
    • 39' Bothroyd is moving very gingerly now after that challenge from Wilson and Dave Jones is frantically waving at his bench to have his substitutes warming up.
    • 37' Wilson is promptly booked for his infringement and that was deserved with Bothroyd clean through.
    • 36' Bothroyd goes down under a rash challenge from Wilson and Cardiff have a dangerous free kick on the edge of the Forest box.
    • 35' Burke is seeing a lot of the ball in midfield now and Cardiff will be hoping for more runs like the last one.
    • 34' Chopra almost gets in after a very fine raking pass from Whittingham out on the right wing but the striker's poked shot is tame.
    • 33' A supremely intricate run from Chris Burke creates space on the edge of the Forest box but Ledley's resulting shot is deflected wide.
    • 32' Morgan takes a very poor dive in the Cardiff penalty area after a powerful run in which he began to lose control of the ball and simply went down!
    • 31' Gunter and Morgan combine at the back for Forest before a long ball is hammered up to McGoldrick.
    • 30' Chopra is caught offside but he is not at all convinced by the decision, and it has to be said that it was incredibly tight - he would have been clean through.
    • 29' McGoldrick is a bundle of energy as he tears around, nipping at the heels of Matthews and Hudson down the Forest left.
    • 28' Davies is very agitated on the touchline as he paces around anxiously but Forest are keeping the ball well.
    • 27' Gerrard barks orders at his fellow defenders after Anderson almost breaks the hosts' offside trap.
    • 26' Gavin Rae is the man to replace McPhail and the 31-year-old Scot slots straight into midfield.
    • 25' McPhail is limping off the field now and Cardiff are frantically preparing a substitution.
    • 24' McPhail sustains a knock after challenging with McKenna in midfield - it looked innocuous but he looks to be really struggling.
    • 23' Wilson clears from under the nose of Chopra as the play continues to lurch from end-to-end at the moment.
    • 21' Moussi slips the ball through to Anderson but Davies is furious with how slow that break was from Forest.
    • 20' Whittingham forces his way down the left but McKenna is quickly in to make a well-timed tackle.
    • 19' Moussi shows great strength in muscling Ledley off the ball in midfield and he takes it into the Cardiff half.
    • 17' Camp produces two stunning saves to deny first Whittingham - who drilled a low shot to his left - then McPhail with the rebound! Great keeping.
    • 16' What a chance for Anderson, who collects Garner's knock-down in the Cardiff area but drives his shot wide of Marshall's far post from close range!
    • 15' Camp thumps the ball upfield to McGoldrick but it does not stick and Burke is in to alleviate any potential danger.
    • 14' Chopra harries well down the left for Cardiff but Gunter wins a throw in and is able to clear.
    • 13' Anderson shows great vision to pick out McGoldrick from a very tight angle but Majewski has his shot blocked inside the area by Hudson.
    • 12' Whittingham floats in a testing corner which Hudson attempts to get on the end of but Camp is protected by the referee as he is bundled over.
    • 11' Lee Camp is quickly off his line to claim a high ball which was delivered into the box by Bothroyd.
    • 10' Bothroyd plays in Chopra but the striker is crowded out by a combination of Hudson and Gerrard.
    • 9' Matthews puts too much weight on an attacking throw in and a promising position is wasted.
    • 8' Anderson was through and either dived or was tripped with replays proving inconclusive - Billy Davies is furious on the touchline.
    • 7' Paul Anderson goes down in the penalty area under a challenge from Adam Matthews but the referee is unimpressed and tells him to get back to his feet!
    • 6' David McGoldrick streaks through on goal but a poor first touch takes him wide and his shot is skewed wide.
    • 5' Morgan and Wilson combine at the back to thwart Chopra's attempts to steal possession.
    • 4' Jay Bothroyd is furious with Peter Whittingham for losing possession in the Forest half when he was in space down the right.
    • 3' David Marshall is quickly out to claim a loose ball as Paul Anderson's cross is deflected out to him.
    • 2' Mark Kennedy concedes an attacking throw in for Forest which Joe Garner will take.
    • 1' We're underway at the Cardiff City Stadium and the hosts get the ball rolling amid a fervent atmosphere created by both sets of fans.
    • - Billy Davies has to do without Nathan Tyson which is a blow for the visitors as David McGoldrick leads the line on his own.
    • - Forest travel to Cardiff protecting an unbeaten away record and they will have Guy Moussi available following his suspension.
    • - The referee for this afternoon's match is Graham Salisbury of Lancashire.
    • - Cardiff: Marshall, Matthews, Hudson, Gerrard, Kennedy, Whittingham, McPhail, Ledley, Burke, Bothroyd, Chopra. Subs: Enckelman, Rae, Gyepes, Quinn, Taiwo, Feeney, McCormack
    • - Nottm Forest: Camp, Gunter, Morgan, Wilson, Cohen, Garner, McKenna, Moussi, Majewski, Anderson, McGoldrick. Subs: Smith, Perch, Chambers, McGugan, Adebola, McCleary, Lynch
    • - Cardiff have won their last two games - against Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry - while Forest's five-match winning streak ended with a 1-1 draw at Crystal Palace.
    • - Cardiff host Nottingham Forest at the Cardiff City Stadium looking to go top of the Championship table with a win.

  1. Sorry, Chris! I thought 'Notts' was an­ accepted abbreviation for Nottingham, no offence­ intended.

    From william.vaughan4, on Mon 2 Nov 9:43AM

  2. Thanks for supporting my opinion, Cameron W.
    The­ difficulty for linesmen, particularly if they are still­ running to keep in line with play, and, depending on­ which side of the pitch they are running ', is­ watching two things at once amongst a congestion of­ players.
    That is: when the pass is made and the­ position of the receiving player at that moment.
    ­ Perhaps the football authorities could have a chat with­ athletics officials? There is a parallel with­ 'false starts' in sprinting, I think? Nowadays,­ super-fit strikers are so quick off the mark that using­ the offside trap and sticking up your arm, is an even­ more dangerous game for centre backs to play. Two ­ knowledgeable opponents are playing the same game and­ the loser may well be the poor old lino!

    From william.vaughan4, on Mon 2 Nov 9:37AM

  3. Hey william vaughan you ignoramous. There is no such­ team as nott,s forest. ITS NOTT,M FOREST OR NOTTINGHAM­ FOREST. Thats to all you welsh idiots.­ Chris.Forestred. And cardiff shity were lucky.

    From Chris, on Mon 2 Nov 9:17AM

  4. Of course he was offside; no question.

    From cameron w, on Sun 1 Nov 8:55PM

  5. Sorry to go on about this, but I am not convinced by­ the pundits on BBC who 'prove' that it was­ onside. I still think Cardiff's goal was offside. I­ am not saying this with any emotion for either team, a­ draw suited me fine.
    Maybe there was something to be­ said for the many years when 'in line' was­ offside!
    The critical thing is when the pass is­ made. Is it when the passer makes contact with the­ ball, when the ball moves forward from his foot or­ what?
    Linesmen have a very difficult task ,as I­ well know from personal experience over the years!
    ­ This was a great match and good luck to both teams.

    From william.vaughan4, on Sun 1 Nov 8:04PM

  6. 1-1 is okay result pitty cardiff couldnt get all
    3­ points im a cardiff scout in ireland and cant
    wait to­ go back over again had a great weekend at the sheffield­ game

    From killian, on Sun 1 Nov 8:02PM

  7. I'm a Blackpool fan so a draw suits me fine!­ However, Notts Forest were badly done by in this match.­ I'd like to think that, had I been running the­ line, my flag would have gone straight up in the 63rd.­ minute. It was offside. Yes it was tight, but it was­ offside. In line is onside, but in this instance the­ player was beyond the last defender, when the pass was­ made. I suppose it must have been too difficult for the­ 4th. official to judge or maybe he didn't want an­ ear bashing from the thousands of Cardiff fans behind­ him?

    From william.vaughan4, on Sun 1 Nov 7:40PM

  8. come on city ,no not cardiff norwich come on u yellows­ xx
