Gunter unsure about Cardiff reception.

FOREST'S WELSH international Chris Gunter has admitted he is unsure what sort of reception he will recieve when he lines up against his former club Cardiff City, live on BBC on Sunday.

Gunter made twenty eight appearances for the Bluebirds before a £2 million move to Tottenham Hotspur in January 2008.

The former Football League ''Apprentice of the Year'' joined Forest on loan last season and helped the club avoid relegation back to League One.

And the Reds full-back admitted he enjoyed his loan spell that much, he was delighted when a permanent move to Trentside happened in the summer.

Sunday's game sees Gunter return to face his former club for the first time since leaving for Tottenham and the full back admits he is unsure of what reception he will receive from the Cardiff faithful.

Gunter told the official Forest website, ''To be honest I don't care what reception I get. I've moved on from Cardiff and I've improved massively as a player. As long as the Forest fans back me up I don't mind.''

''I’m looking forward to the occasion but the main thing is to go there and get the three points.''

That is certainly what Forest will be aiming to do on Sunday evening as they look to stretch their impressive unbeaten away record in South Wales.

Following on from this, former Cardiff hero Robert Earnshaw has been told he will not make the trip, as he is still troubled with a calf injury that has kept him out of the last three games.

FA reaches verdict over derby day scenes

It emerged today that the FA had finally reached a decision on what action would be handed out to Nottingham Forest and their rivals Derby County, following the ugly scenes at the end of the game in August.

As you know Forest won the game 3-2 to record their first win over the Rams since 2003. After Robbie Savage's disrespectful actions at the end of the game last season, Nathan Tyson responded this year by waving a corner flag with the famous Forest badge on it in front of the travelling Derby fans. This led to a huge melee involving players from both sides as well as members of each team's coaching staff.

The FA have decided to hand Tyson a 2 game ban and fined the striker £5,000. The Reds have been ordered to pay £25,000 of which £10,000 is suspended. Forest were warned about their future conduct.

Derby were also warned about their future conduct and were fined £20,000 of which £10,000 is suspended.

Manager Billy Davies will certainly be disapointed to lose Tyson, who has had an explosive start to the season on the left wing and comes at a time when Forest are just two points off the top of the table following a 5 match winning streak.

What are your thoughts on the punishments for both teams and Tyson? Do you think they are fair? How will the Reds cope without their number eleven?
