Sheep heads thrown in pub attacks
Police are investigating after two sheep heads were thrown at pubs in Derby before an FA Cup clash on Friday, it has emerged.
Two pubs reported incidents of sheep's heads being thrown shortly before Derby County faced Nottingham Forest.
Derbyshire Police said they were investigating whether the incidents were connected to Derby County's nickname; the Rams.
The fourth round tie at Pride Park ended in a 1-1 draw.
The first head was thrown at The Lodge pub in Grange Road, Alvaston, at about 1900 GMT.
A short time later another head was thrown at the Mitre pub in Allenton.
A police spokesman said the pubs are about a mile apart and within several miles of Pride Park.
Investigations are continuing and the spokesman appealed for anyone with information to contact the police.

Well it wasn't me! Where were you on Friday Ajarn Naboo?![]()
Do you have coke?
Aren't Derby fans regarded as 'sheepshaggers'? by the scabs..err..Forest. Maybe something to do with that. Although we are also called rude names about acts with white furry animals and have never been thrown sheeps' heads. Saying that, we have plenty already!
'Can I just shock you? I like wine'
I know nothing officer. Sheepshaggers deserved a lot more than this though.
I think even I remember the day when this wouldn't have made the news. Bloody sheep's heads being thrown at sheep botherers. Surely the Derbyshire Constabulary have got more pressing crimes to investigate, like all the sheep bothering.
