Nottingham Forest banter 2

22 Apr 2024 16:32:06
All these so called experts criticising us over our complaint, people like Shearer Carragh Neville, if it had been their teams there would be no end to it, total Hippocrates.
Yes we’re in trouble but the points we, ve lost through incorrect decisions have made things worse.
The authorities will listen to them and we, ll in be in more trouble, they’ll be absolutely delighted if we’re relegated, the whole issue is a a witch-hunt while city go untouched.
CARLO.

22 Apr 2024 17:52:53
We'll probably get 2 more points deducted after the appeal process for Sunday's social media outburst.

22 Apr 2024 18:28:06
We will definitely be relegated now. It's all kicking off. FA, Premier League and PGMOL vs Forest. We've got no chance of staying up with all of those against us as well as the teams on the pitch.

22 Apr 2024 18:56:54
Many teams / players would take energy from the injustice and take galvanising energy and spirit form it - not gutless forest. CHO, Elnaga etc are just examples of woke footballers who have zero courage and fight.

22 Apr 2024 19:11:25
That's what Hitler said to Churchill youuu reeeeddds. Forest barrister as asked for the VAR audio tapes.
Apparently for the 3rd one Atwell said Hudson Odoi is a red dog, up the hatters 🎈.

22 Apr 2024 19:14:42
If anything it should galvanise us, and show them Gangsters we can do it!

23 Apr 2024 20:15:22
Carlo, Man U away still rankles me. 3 poor decisions again.

22 Apr 2024 16:24:01
Shocked at the negativity on here. Get a grip fellas! Referees aside our fate is still in our hands.

22 Apr 2024 19:32:35
Well said tyke.

23 Apr 2024 14:25:15
Yes tyke. i get the passion and history ok here and people wanting to see football in a pure form. I want to see us back at the top of where we belong, of course the players we have aren't exactly what we need but it could be worse and despite everything that has happened to us this season we are still in a position that would mean we are safe next year. Stay strong stay together and f. k the haters!

23 Apr 2024 20:16:48
Man City and Chelsea at home, our goal difference could take a hammering. Players earn your shirts please. 🙏.

22 Apr 2024 16:00:19
It all started with that absolutely bizzare corner, first game of last season against Newcastle when we had no players in the box, a decision i found hard to believe was Coopers idea who looked completely embarrassed by it. Since then it's just been a complete clown fest. Stay up or go down tge only way we make it, bring in a coach or manager, look at their beliefs and philosophies, like their ideas and go with it. Stop running the club like a bad circus and get a grip. It's becoming embarrassing how much the club have made me cringe with their ideas and statements. Think most people will be glad to see the back of us, even I've had enough now and can't be bothered. If we stay up, great if we don't, oh well, see you later to the players who can't wait to leave, watch us struggle financially and just suck it up and get on with it.

22 Apr 2024 16:28:02
Yeah because klopp and guardiola and co never moan about anything,

22 Apr 2024 17:36:04
Yes Stevie but there's moaning the right way and moaning to make you and your club look like a bunch of total mental cases.

22 Apr 2024 18:04:19
Clough, why? because we are questioning incompetence? and, or bias? They’re are the ones who look total mental cases, as for pundits like carregher, don’t think we should take lectures on being classy from a bloke who spits at 14 year old kids,

23 Apr 2024 14:25:58
Easy to moan when you're a top 4 club and have a team worth a bilion.

22 Apr 2024 11:30:50
Hi Ed,
I posted yesterday evening but I can't find it anywhere.
Any ideas?

{Ed033's Note - Really, i take it you must be a teenager and didn't look beyond the end of your nose. :)

It's on the Discussions Posts page with a load of other posts from yesterday and today.

22 Apr 2024 12:40:30
Ok,
I don't use this too often and every time I've posted on the banter page, it's appeared on the banter page.
Will pay more attention next time.

22 Apr 2024 17:30:30
You naughty boy Roystone!

22 Apr 2024 20:23:04
Yes, that told me. Obviously got out of the wrong side of someone's bed 😂.

22 Apr 2024 10:49:27
I reiterate, most of our problems go back to Mr M, s door.
The buck stops here.
CARLO.

22 Apr 2024 13:19:41
Bottom line to save mass debate
Cooper was crap
Nuno is just as crap
The players are crap
The owner is a fruit cake
And has wasted a boat load of money he will never get back
The bottom end of the premier is so bad it's untrue will we
Stay up? Maybe maybe not quite sure Frankly who cares we will 100% go down next year if we do so it's just delaying the inevitable and the premier league is garbage anyway 🎈.

22 Apr 2024 13:26:21
That about says it all balloons.

22 Apr 2024 14:44:58
If the "players are crap" and "the owner is a fruit cake" who has wasted a load of money, then why were you saying the complete opposite when Cooper was the coach? 🤔

If the above is true, then it proves one thing: Cooper was doing a fantastic job getting us promoted, keeping us up and afloat when all he had were "crap Players" to do it with.

Keeping it real! 🙄.

22 Apr 2024 15:59:37
At least Cooper showed passion.
Yes Nuno is more attack minded at times, however he's simply no better.

22 Apr 2024 16:00:35
Good championship manager and that's about all I have to say about him.

22 Apr 2024 16:03:52
Just a reassessment of a total shambles 🎈.

22 Apr 2024 16:50:32
Cooper couldn't buy a win rogie and neither can Nuno. Why are so many people happy to settle for mediocre, shambolic football, but a few fist pumps makes it better. 🎈.

22 Apr 2024 19:20:50
I thought Nuno was by your own account The Man mate?
I do remember you proclaiming to me "That's the Nuno effect Rogie! " after we won.
As I say one was no better than the other.

22 Apr 2024 09:39:41
You've hit it on the head d3rbyred.
We are not good enough.
So many times this season I've watched inept perfotmances.
Yesterday it looked like we have resigned ourselves to relegation.
Our once proud Nottingham Forest are becoming the laughing stock of football.
Marannakis at the end of the season
If he hangs around has got to get rid of all his senior people who have wasted his millions on these players. Get a manager or coach what ever you want to call him in who can instill some much needed inspiration and fight, because this guy does neither.
Okay Bowie I respect your views but when you sit there week in week out
watching inept performances from a very poor side you'll understand why we get very frustrated. The amount of money spent in putting this shambolic team together should have reeped better rewards than
this.

22 Apr 2024 09:48:32
The owner spent a lot of money as did Chelsea's owners on crap mate there was no belief or fight in that team whatsoever wether you want to blame the manager or players they were all to blame shambles.

22 Apr 2024 09:55:59
I feel for you East Coast. They are absolutely garbage and a disgrace to the badge and fans like you that waste a fortune watching this rammel deserve better. Your probably like most people where as it ruins your week and you end up snapping at the Mrs etc 🫣. Knock it on the head mate till they deserve your hard earned cash. Its basically the entertainment business and they don't entertain, just frustrate 🎈.

22 Apr 2024 10:27:37
Back reality we will be lucky to get 6 points from the remaining matches so not feeling very positive the coaches should be playing on how everyone hates us we should make them pay by staying up 🤣🤣🤣🤣🍺.

22 Apr 2024 11:10:11
Balloons is correct, it is an entertainment industry. Footballers aren’t footballers they are performers just playing up to the crowd, every time they score it’s a finger to the lips or hands over the ears to the away supporters. That was never done before sky sports took over. Money has ruined the game. I walk the dog on a Sunday morning and see little kids no more than 10 years old doing it, just no respect anymore. I watched the fa cup game last night, last min of extra time cov score, well we knew that wouldn’t be allowed. More revenue for an all Manchester cup final, can’t have a cup upset can we it just wouldn’t do. ITS ALL CORRUPT.

22 Apr 2024 12:01:47
Red vale agreed mate would have been the greatest comeback in tne history of the fa cup, but didn’t suit the agenda, you just knew they’d find a way to disallow it, ROTTEN and CORRUPT to the core, rest in peace football,

22 Apr 2024 13:29:55
If the Coventry player had cut his toe nails stevie he would have been on side. VAR is a joke beyond belief 🎈.

22 Apr 2024 14:26:19
The irony of it is that neither of the Manchester clubs take the FAcup that seriously, you don’t see any of the first team players until the 5th round. They look on it as a right of passage, even the money it generates is pocket money to them, but for Coventry two trips to Wembley is a big earner and could shape their chances next season. If there was any justice all the prem sides that qualify for any of the euro cup competitions should not be included in any of the domestic competitions for that season. The two Manchester clubs will make a fortune from their overseas fans. Just hope the trains are on strike and the m1 is closed on final day.

22 Apr 2024 16:05:29
Non of em live in Manchester anyway. There all glory Hunters 🎈.

22 Apr 2024 08:48:02
I don't understand why people are up in arms about the VAR decisions yesterday. We won't get those go in our favour this season. Even the 'stonewallers'. It's not a surprise.

Neither is the bad defending and bad finishing when we create chances. Both of those facts have blighted our season. Referee's are terrible. VAR is terrible. But the main thing is WE ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH! As simple as that. We have some matches where we play a blinder for 45 minutes than go back to normal. We look like we will always concede but won't score many either. Bad combination and a relegation formula. 4 matches to sort it out.

22 Apr 2024 09:16:15
My two penneth.
We had a game plan to target Ashley Young, that 'worked' as we created 3 penalty chances. That we were given zero, does not mean we played a bad game.
Sels had bugger all to do, I remember 1 save from a header. The fact they crept 2 in off the post, against the run of play is 'unlucky'. I do agree both players should've been closed down with more aggression.
The club raised a potential 'conflict of interest' with Attwell appointed to VAR. This concern was ignored and what transpired I believe justified the response.
First penalty given, different game. 2nd given? Likely yellow card for Young and probably subbed, different game.
Likely result? We'll never know because corruption, prejudice or plain incompetence have conspired against us.
Club, players and fans should use this to create a 'siege mentality ', can we do it, against all the odds. FTID. 🙏🙏🙏.

22 Apr 2024 11:11:13
That is an excellent post Scouse! 👍👍👏🏻👏🏻.

22 Apr 2024 11:57:04
Cheers Stokey. I was incandescent with rage yesterday and luckily opted out of a pint. The air would've been blue and not from grateful Evertonians. Most can't believe the decisions and felt we were robbed. Some Liverpool fans questioned the X post but backed down when I commented ' if a Man City supporting ref had done the same in a game of yours, how would you have reacted? ' Most agreed, they wouldn't want them near their game. I reminded them the bottom of the league is just as important as the top.

21 Apr 2024 23:18:06
Having not long got home.
Just read all the after match comments.
For Forest to come out with the statements they have. Regarding the refs and Var. His a total embarrassment. We all no most of the referees and VAR are not fit for purpose. Its all very well blaming the decisions going against us. But you have show some fight and get inspiration from your performance.
We showed neither. We are in complete mess. I don't think we will win another game.

22 Apr 2024 00:50:59
Aa much as i admire your commitment east coast, and to the rest of ya on here giving a hard time to our response. It's natural instinct to throw your frustration out as a human being. Big M isn't some kind of terminator. He's human like the rest of us. And football when it can't be played throughout the stupid amounts of camera's and officials. Cannot get something so easy wrong. And your throwing stupid amounts of money trying to keep the fans hapoy. Then I'm afraid. So be it. Ok not saying he got it right but bye as lord sugar said. How hard it is to please them.

22 Apr 2024 06:20:55
Fair play to Nico Williams, calling out the Corrupt Premier League!
👏👏👏.

22 Apr 2024 06:45:13
Did you see the look on Ashley Young's face particularly the hand ball, and when he hauled down for the third penalty?
And fir that pratt on MOTD to defend him us ridiculous!

22 Apr 2024 06:59:04
About time someone had there say on the corrupt league it's not going to be the top 6 cause most of the time var and reffing decisions go there way.

22 Apr 2024 08:17:42
Yes it's embarrassing the statement on X but unfortunately it's true we now will be the laughing stock of the premier woe is me. Yes all the so called expert's say we were robbed but for the good of football we should suck it up and accept our fate, let's get back to the Championship no VAR yet and proper true footy let the big 6 teams sod off and never come back all those long flights to the rest of Europe the fans will soon get fed of paying out What a mess the premiership is in.

22 Apr 2024 08:51:46
It won't end there jester championship football will be next for var it's the way to the premiership they will be able to control who goes up to the premiership from there the only embarrassment about the statement was the Luton fan but the rest is true not like it would of changed our results as we was dire again.

22 Apr 2024 08:53:25
The FA, Premier League and the PGMOL have had an agenda against us all season. At least, that what it seems. They are all working together to send us down. At least, that what it seems. They are also responsible for our poor finishing and even worse defending. Are our set-piece coaches all agents of the FA, Premier League and PGMOL? I wouldn't bet against it.

22 Apr 2024 09:05:35
People keep saying we should just carry on I am proud of Forest. Some VAR decisions have been so bad they can't be mistaken. The PGMOL have apologised numerous times this season to Forest for bad decisions and it keeps repeating. Absolutely disgusted with yesterday's refereeing and how does that effect the players. To deny the handball you would think we were playing Man C.

22 Apr 2024 09:09:21
Let's be honest the footy at the top has become one big video game for the rich people in the world and while you're winning it's great, what breath of fresh air Coventry are and they should be playing City not Utd but that's just not done is it.

22 Apr 2024 09:12:41
It's a true statement, Skegs. Atwell is a Luton fan.

22 Apr 2024 09:53:03
Most referees support a club it's not the point derby so what if he supports Luton it's the penalties that should of been given that was the problem and I would of only said 2 should of been given would we have still lost yes no fight in that team whatsoever and jester I agree but from the quarter finals it was always going to be united city final 🤔.

22 Apr 2024 10:15:00
But did he not give them as it might have given us 3 points? Everton are going to get some points back and we won't be? Atwell knows this? So it's in Luton's interest if we lose and Everton win. Atwell could do as much as he could to prevent Forest from getting any easier goals. If we scored a goal from open play he can still intervene and have it disallowed.

21 Apr 2024 22:41:19
🚶🏽‍♀️🧎‍♂️👨🏻‍🦯.

21 Apr 2024 19:30:37
Alan Taylor and Stuart Attwell must rate as each having very poor reputations. Having both been castigated by the referee association in the past due to refereeing decisions. Resulting in being demoted to a lower division a due to severity of the error of judgment. Our club has a very strong case if this was the first occasion they were involved in the same match. The seriousness of their mistakes today can not be underestimated for our club. They are both culpable as Mr Taylor didn't even call for VAR for any of the three penalty shouts. So Mr Attwell probably thought if Mr Taylor has not even asked for VAR, I am not going to contradict him.

21 Apr 2024 20:33:46
We were crap n didn't deserve anything.

But that was border line corruption today, that first hand ball embarrassing he moves his arm to the ball then whips it back, he knew it was a pen look at his face

Even scousers saying we were robbed
. then to find out atwell on var is luton fan beyond belief

I'm guessing clattenberg knows 100% he's luton fan because you can't chuck statements like that about otherwise

Could only happen to us

Ps we were still crap today despite the above shouldn't over look that.

21 Apr 2024 20:35:12
Apparently atwell NEVER refd a luton game either.

21 Apr 2024 20:56:40
We weren't good enough to score a goal end of, that's down to nuno, he will come out with same excuse to save his job that we were robbed by officials, it becomes boring to hear, yes should have had a pen but did we look like scoring?
No we didn't, did we look like we'd concede? Yes all day long
We have three crap goalkeepers to start with that cost millions
Inexperience in front of him, no leader on the pitch, MGW? If he wants to play for England then you don't miss one on ones like that
We can blame the officials all day long but there is so much more to our failure to win games especially away.

21 Apr 2024 22:38:22
Bang on DTP. Nothing to add to that.

21 Apr 2024 22:45:49
Hopefully the top 6 leave after this fiasco to join the European league. F A would be in blind panic.

21 Apr 2024 19:09:53
INCOMPETENT or CORRUPT
Rob Jones
Andrew Taylor
Paul Tierney
Stuart Atwell.

21 Apr 2024 19:33:30
Munmad all of them are both.

21 Apr 2024 19:35:07
We made a rod for our own backs by challenging and complaining about referees, once you do that then you won't get decisions, we are pissing off the people that make decisions and questioning their integrity, but all clubs do that, but we've gone way beyond that so will get nothing from the officials, is it right?
No but human nature says refs won't like us for it
It's also glossing over our biggest problem, conceding goals with three crap keepers and a midfield that allows runners to just run to our penalty area before a tackle comes in
It doesn't matter the players that ate picked on the day, it happens because the way we set up.

22 Apr 2024 07:03:03
Midfield was non existent yesterday it was dire I'd already predicted to balloons in morning that we would lose by 3 or 4 depending on what forest team turned up and they didn't.

22 Apr 2024 15:28:57
You were wrong then skegs😂.

22 Apr 2024 15:46:22
What about Stevie not cooper being replaced 🤣🤣.

21 Apr 2024 19:00:12
9k reds the game, sorry not you doc never once responded to me 🤣, before i go any further, gutted for mark robbins, i know a lot on here want nigel. And all the good things he's doing at Mansfield, but i swear reds. There's something about mark. As we know from his goal, fergie f kn jock bitch blah blah blah. But I'd give this young man a chance. But the question i ask myself is this. Can he stand up to big m and his son. because for me reds, this is something that we all know obviously goes with the job, and clough/ taylor never did. The midfield for me taday was none existent. But that was because of the formation. I just don't think nunos got it in him to be a premier manager. Said b4. You need pace going forward elanga, again comes on late on. Don't get me wrong, can't hit a barn f kn door. But pace poses problems. Better to defend in there final 3rd than our sad defending on set pieces. There mackum t#at showed the difference on a league. Pickford little arms. and how we miss maturity in goal. Nuno, ok he goes forward but his plan B leaves the players coming on with that. Ok ok even though ya got no faith, thanks for the run out feeling. The manager and players need the fans now more than anything, because it's the chants that bring you through that marathon of a season. Something to carry ya over the line. Luv ya all xxx.

21 Apr 2024 19:21:51
Sorry Bowie, I may answer later. my son who knows very little about football said to me "Dad? This seems to be happening to your team alot? "
Still angry.

21 Apr 2024 20:25:59
See where your coming from Bowie, I also like robins and Nigel. Think Nigel will stick with Mansfield. But let's look on the other side of things, should we go down and the prem and the fa seem hell bent on sending us down, a good clear out will come, but money will come in granted the piper has to be paid, should be enough left to bring in one or two. Like jedd Spence spurs are going to get rid at the end of the season. I think we should have enough to change again next season. no point looking back always look forward.

21 Apr 2024 18:57:39
Pressed send by mistake. I be absolutely love Forest, and always will, and they have given me some of the best times of my life, they really have. I look at the badge, and I feel this feeling I can’t ever explain. It’s beautiful and takes me back to being 7 and 8 in the 70’s, and I’ll always be grateful for the identity I have with the badge. It’s not the same anymore unfortunately. But, forever and always, I’ll love the Forest that captured my heart when I was 6. No one can ever take that away ❤️.

21 Apr 2024 19:08:16
That's exactly how I feel mate, from the age of 12.

21 Apr 2024 19:18:02
Simply brilliant MIP19 x.
