Nottingham Forest banter 2

25 Apr 2024 22:14:38
If we go down we will be remembered as the club that stuck up to the inadequate refs and var and the corrupt Premiership, FA, and sky. All not fit for purpose.

26 Apr 2024 07:57:32
Think most people think we moan too much, glad to see the back of us. We will be remembered as the club that stupidly brought in a record amount of over rated players ( mostly) stupidly put ourselves in FFP, then limped out of the league like a streak of wet cabbage.

26 Apr 2024 07:58:50
We will be remembered for being serial whingers.

26 Apr 2024 08:38:09
Better than being forgotten. The system is suspect, why don't we accept it, curl up on your sofa and keep your mouth shut. Eat humble pie cower away and the system just carried on and on.
Remember the cream of world football in Switzerland, things can be done.
72 years supporting this club, yes at the moment it's not being fun that well, we don't know if we got the pen or if we would have scored, no matter.
If, just if, we have some success with this attack on the PL, the smaller clubs benefit but are keeping there heads down and would reap the reward.

26 Apr 2024 08:42:10
So we just sit back and say NOTHING?
You 2 forget we bring a brilliant atmosphere to home AND away grounds!
Sorry to disappointed yous, however you'll probably find more people actually WANT us to stay in this league than don't.
Pathetic lads, PATHETIC!

26 Apr 2024 09:17:43
Mixed views on all this. I wonder what Brighton fans make of our case after watching some decisions last night. Sadly I watched the match only to scrutinise the refs performance. I perceive the media establishment now starting to make gentle noises supportive of the referees and the football establishment itself. Odd times!

26 Apr 2024 09:44:54
Told you all before, it must be in my DNA or something but I LOVE being the REBEL CLUB, don’t give a shxt about the prem.

26 Apr 2024 10:19:46
Another thought: Last night, did the ref NOT give the pen to Brighton because of the outcry by Forest over the CHO appeal aginst Everton. They were similar tackles. Are they trying for the 'consistency' line. Has that tackle set a precedent?

26 Apr 2024 14:37:25
We’re are as embarrassing is derby, we will be remembered for getting relegated instead of Luton in spite of 25 times what they have!

26 Apr 2024 15:26:57
At least Luton show fight and Spirit.
Forest some time's play like they've never kicked a football.
Mr. M has chosen poorly and it's not him on the rear.
In Greece in may have influence but here he's merely an owner of a poorly ran club.

26 Apr 2024 16:02:32
We will be mentioned in the same breath as Millwall and Wimbledon 🥴.

25 Apr 2024 22:02:54
How do we compare to Brighton? I think a lot less m abilities and manager. Currently losing 4 -0 against our next opponents. They will have to beat us to try and win the premier league. My opinion only is that we will be in for a demoralising pasting. There is no point trying to attack, we just need to suppress the score line so we can maintain a better goal average than lowly Luton! Yes we have sunk so low that we are vying with Luton to survive. What a huge waste of Big Ms money to end up where we are. It really is complete mismanagement of a severe degree. I cannot see any Forest team formation that will have us beat Burnley and the blades. Remember if I can, that in 2 seasons to date we have won a total of 3 away matches. So does anybody believe we can win the next two? It would involve a complete turnaround of attitude, managerial skills, belief they can win a match. The Burnley match might be our final chance to survive but we may already be sunk. Those who say the championship is better won't be saying that when we are at the bottom of that league too. I like many others will renew my season tickets and support them till I am no more. Somehow we have lost our way and I don't think we will find our way back.

26 Apr 2024 05:15:21
The only person that has wasted Marinakas money is the man himself. He sets the agenda, hires all the sub standard staff and let's his son run riot with daddy's cheque book.
Self inflicted no sympathy whatsoever. The man's a buffon 🎈.

26 Apr 2024 08:09:27
Exactly Marinkas acting and playing like he does for Olympiacos where they are top dogs and command some kind of top dog respect, people running scared of them. Think he knew about Forest and the history and thought he could waltz into the prem and establish us as one of the big boys. He didn't realise that to most football fans born after 1980 that we are " Forest who, oh yeah didn't they win the European cup back in the day".
Think he needs to get his ego into check because if we do by some miracle stay up then I don't think we could survive another season with the same ethos. Currently I think with the squad we have now we'd struggle to break into the top 10 in the championship.

25 Apr 2024 21:38:23
Right friends here's my predictions for the rest of the season.
Sheffield Utd will be relegated this weekend, long before we play them.
Burnley won't get another point before we play them last game so both will be demoralised and mentally on the beach. 6 points.
By the time we play Chelsea they will be mathematically unable to get even into the Europa places. They are an immensely talented and expensively put together team but disunited ( as per the penalty incident) big time Charlie's and a bit flakey. Christ, we even beat them at their place so we have a chance at a fired up WFCG.
We won't get anything against Man City. It will be a case of keeping the score respectable. Ie 2 goals margin would be excellent and protect our goal difference advantage over Luton
We will get 2 points deduction on appeal.
Luton are the danger and are unpredictable. Wolves are decimated with injuries, safe and mentally at ease so might be vulberable.
Everton on a roll and will beat or, at best, draw with Luton.
West Ham will beat them comfortably.
Fulham, like Chelsea, are flakey but should have too much for them in the last game of the season even if they are mentally on the beach
I think Luton will be finished by then.
So we will finish on 34 points including restored points, Luton on 31 points ( plus around 10 goals worse than us GD)
Then I'm off to Corfu where I will visit the Durrell house and Old Town, get sunburnt and drunk every day without fail!
Sadly, I can only absolutely guarantee the last bit! 🤔😂🤞🤪🤪.

26 Apr 2024 06:44:19
Great post Stokey!

26 Apr 2024 08:41:08
Hey Stokey, why don't you stop off at Cuckoo land on your way mate?

25 Apr 2024 21:22:43
For me reds, to sum up our season. If and only if, we do go down.
1= we didn't do it with intent as a yoyo club.
2= the owner and son tried for me, just as most owners and there expensive hobbys, fkd right up.
3= wouldn't say all players were bad, they were just played out of positions.
4= I'm still unsure on our set pieces, for taylors sake, are the players actually listening and doing what's intended.
5= are we that desperate at the WFCG, that we blame the coach for noise.
6= clattendick was probably the worst ever idea from a premiership club.
7= why keep bringing the same predictable coaches. Especially them without a choice of players.
8= why is there no communication with the players with the fans/ people of Nottingham. Now i say this as a geordie. But never read any. so may be wrong.
9= the amount of leeches just sucking on every bit of blood, from VAR to officials.
10= why can't football just be enjoyed as it should anymore, from grandads/ grandmas to grandkids.
COYR =FTID= HELP.

25 Apr 2024 21:39:41
You forgot no 11 why don't they all drink Stella 😁.

25 Apr 2024 22:27:38
I agree with all those points Bowie, apart from no.3. More to do with playing out of their depth rather than playing out of position! Your comment no, 10 jumps out of the page at me though. Football, as a whole I feel, is losing the whole ethos and attraction that we all took to as kids - and losing many future supporters in the process. Very sad.

25 Apr 2024 09:15:29
You missed eleven Bowie mate
Nuno has been a disaster of an appointment, everything that had been built over the last 30 months gone put the window, the great man never argued about refs, nuno has made ot a hobby from day one and is hiding behind it to cover his own inadequate coaching and motivation skills.

26 Apr 2024 17:15:10
🤣🤣🤣 DTP built shite over 30 months hence sacked 🤣🤣.

25 Apr 2024 18:29:04
If we go down because of the points deductions who will be to blame?
CARLO.

25 Apr 2024 19:12:06
The league 😉.

25 Apr 2024 19:15:01
Easy one that is Carlo. Mr M was warned by his financial officer very early doors that we were heading for a FFP breach and he ploughed on regardless.
Plus he and the hierarchy lied to the Forest Supporters Trust in public meetings that all was well.
Plus he oversaw a disastrous recruitment policy which wasted a lot of money on mediocre players or those who were in the twilight of their careers and injury prone.
Plus he flip flopped on strategy of recruiting young players with a good sell on value and got rid of Dane Murphy …….

25 Apr 2024 19:21:53
The owner. The same person who forked up the money in the first place. Ironic isn't it.

25 Apr 2024 19:45:09
This what happens when stand up for your rights and of course break the rules doing it 😭.

25 Apr 2024 19:58:27
Putin's or XI.

25 Apr 2024 20:09:56
You can’t blame it on one thing. There’s loads of reasons if we get relegated.

25 Apr 2024 20:15:46
Waltzing Matilda the lunatic spending daddy's hard earned by playing Fifa and Champ manager for real 🎈.

25 Apr 2024 20:29:20
Whatever looking forward to thumping City Sunday after 30 mins tonight they've only got 2 goals Easy 😋😋🍺🍺.

25 Apr 2024 20:32:17
We just needed to win games and get results millionaires playing pansy football give them minimum wage with bills to pay plus bonuses for every game they win i'm sure the results would be different and they still get to play the football they enjoy for a hour and half simple.

25 Apr 2024 20:51:02
I find it all very strange stokey/ gazz i remember reading an interview on him, which btw were like bowies, very rare. But he actually highlighted ffp. And how he'd never let the club fall into the trap. Especially after past misgivings. Now this wasn't just a one line yeah thing. It went on and on. Remember thinking wow that's one thing we got right. Btw we were in the championship at the time. Wow all that glitters is gold as Prince said, or the sign. The premiership rears it's ugly head. I'll have some of that. Bit more of that, 4 of them, 14 of them (can we sneak them into the country) disco balls in front of the floodlights, yup 6 of them, keep the change. Signed arnie muscle shirts from the 80s. My sons doing that. Just hurts money, in football and how it clouds the people surrounding it.

25 Apr 2024 20:58:11
Lost his head, lost the plot.
We also have an unhappy dressing room, very evident on the field.
CARLO.

25 Apr 2024 21:00:36
The interview with the big fella, i think was with clapson. Ok ok i know a lot don't like her. But just brought interesting reading.

25 Apr 2024 21:47:17
Shut up Bowie you don't agree with her because she smokes big Benson and hedges 🤣.

26 Apr 2024 08:17:52
🤣🤣 yeah still off them skegs 👍.

26 Apr 2024 09:08:21
Makes me laugh the blame game on here
It was coopers fault not so long back fir recruiting poor players
Now it's the owner for spending to much of hus own money? Unreal
Yet again none of our plight is down to nuno?
Since game one of him being in charge against Bournemouth when boly was sent off wrongly, it's been the officials he's had a go at after every game he's lost, its not the players, it's nuno.

26 Apr 2024 09:37:22
I for one still believe the Earth is flat.
CARLO.

25 Apr 2024 18:35:15
Does anyone with serious contacts know when we might hear the result of yesterday's appeal? I am coming around to the view that points back might be needed!

25 Apr 2024 18:57:05
They will definitely be needed but I wouldn't expect any back. They might take another one off us for jolly.

25 Apr 2024 16:20:46
Wasn't it Atwell who gave the infamous "ghost goal " in Watford v Reading back in 2008? It's amazing how mediocrity is rewarded in this country. The Guardians quote on this was priceless "This blunder was less an endorsement for the introduction of goal line technology than for officials to have regular eye tests! " 😂😂😂.

25 Apr 2024 16:37:55
Even if we get no satisfaction and get relegated hopefully other less infamous clubs might start to get honest decision, all because of our not accepting bias.
Fleetwood v Ar senal Div 2
Barrow v Man City Did 2
Hartlepool v Man Utd. Conference.
Wycombe v Tottenham. Div1
Look forward to these fixtures when we get an even break.

25 Apr 2024 17:13:10
Look you lot I’ve decided I’m not going to get bitter and cynical about the terrible decisions that have gone against us this season. Let’s all just look forward to Sundays game against the 15 men of Manchester City! ( that’s 11 world class players, a ref, 2 linesmen and the VAR official! ) ! 😂😂🤔🤔🫣🧐🤪😏😔🤬.

25 Apr 2024 18:27:33
What about Pep harassing the .
CARLO.

25 Apr 2024 20:59:19
forth official.

25 Apr 2024 21:18:57
Carlo are you ok mate. Did the Greek Mafia shoot you mid sentence? 🫣🫣.

25 Apr 2024 23:00:25
Is that the Firth of Forth Carlo or Fourth?

25 Apr 2024 13:53:13
I don't want to be flogging a dead horse here ( and I'm not a Wolves or Bournemouth fan, though I will be an honorary yam yam on Saturday) but is anybody else scratching their heads after Atwell s performance last night? Particularly as he awards a Wolves goal then gets advised by VAR to have a look at a foul by a Wolves player in the build up ( which he does and overturns it). So why weren't we awarded the same courtesy by Atwell on VAR when our ref rules that the Everton defender had played the ball for our denied penalty on Reyna? All it takes is a quick " You might want to have a look at this one again mate on the monitor". If he had it was a penalty. The recurring problem we have is that we don't get as far as a VAR review ever. Last night Everton had a penalty overturned because of a clear offside. It took 2 minutes to VAR it! Probably because it was one of the top 6 again. Grrrrrr!
As far as the ludicrous "minimal contact " nonsense being spouted by idiotic pundits it reminds me of the infamous comment by a ( white) American athletics coach that Jesse Owen hadn't been selected for the USA team because he was only one tenth of a second faster than the white sprinter who was selected! Again Grrrrrr! 😡😡😡.

25 Apr 2024 16:40:25
Trouble is Stokey it's minimal contact when it's anyone outside the big clubs. When it's the " rest of us " it's still classed as minimal contact but they tag the phrase " yes it's minimal contact but a penalty is a penalty. I remember Danny Murphy saying when Danilo gave a penalty away against Rashford. Murphy and his cronies said minimal contact but still a penalty. After Rashford hit the deck like he'd been smashed in the face with a sledgehammer.

25 Apr 2024 09:14:45
straight race between Forest and Luton now for third place drop and we have a tough run in!

25 Apr 2024 13:58:37
If what has happened recently doesn't spur them on then we don't deserve to stay up let's hope they come out fighting.

25 Apr 2024 15:14:06
I think you might be wrong ser, I reckon dark arts are going to manipulate the next couple of games. When I say dark arts I’m referring to the prem and fa and all that goes with it. It will be us and Burnley last game of the season you mark my words, sky will be rubbing their grubby hands together, bet your bottom dollar its live on tv.

25 Apr 2024 16:18:08
Wouldn’t rule Burnley out yet South East.

25 Apr 2024 16:19:07
Let's make a list of current players
We would keep if we remained in the prem or got relegated.
My prem keeps.
🤔🤔🤔😂😂😂. 💥
My championship keeps
🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣. 💥
Sack every last one of em, a total disgrace. 🎈.

25 Apr 2024 07:39:42
{Ed's Note - Nevada has posted a new article entitled, Is Arne Slot A Good Fit For Liverpool?

25 Apr 2024 13:41:00
Very interesting post Nevada about a relatively unknown coach. Sounds as though he will fill the slot nicely! ( Sorry mate you are probably not in the mood for flippancy after last night)! 🤔😔.

24 Apr 2024 22:02:49
Then there was four.
CARLO.

24 Apr 2024 22:17:20
4 more games then there will be 3.

25 Apr 2024 06:45:48
Everton must be delirious this morning. pulling clear of relegation and beating "Quiverpool".

25 Apr 2024 06:56:46
Definitely rogie now Nuno and the team need to do the same thing Sunday and get a result against man city.

25 Apr 2024 07:52:28
Perhaps Nuno should change his tracksuit to a top hat and tails With a whip to lash the team into some sort of order. whatever happened at the weekend Everton have done it and proved they are led by a fighting coach let's hope our squad was watching and stop feeling sorry for themselves and pull on the shirt with pride.

25 Apr 2024 12:02:24
Will we show the application Everton showed when we play City?
CARLO.

24 Apr 2024 21:09:05
Note the results after 45 mins. Everton and Sheffield Utd ahead why? Both have managers ( English as it happens ) who inspire their sides. Who would have said that both these teams would be ahead at 45 mins very few I suspect. SC did it last season for us. This season the trap door is open, will Man City push us down? MGW and Murillo are already being touted around to the best bidder, and will be gone. They know this, and inevitably it will affect how they play especially when they believe like many that we are relegated. Can anyone honestly see us getting any more points? We have won 3 away matches in two seasons, so no points at Burnley or the Blades. So that leaves home matches vs Man City and Chelsea. I honestly am not being negative but these are the facts.
Sundays match said it all and was the final nail in our coffin. Our only hope next season is SC but the way he was treated he won't come I suspect. Nuno is a Nono I am afraid.

24 Apr 2024 22:36:57
MGW already told he wii have to be sold.
CARLO.

24 Apr 2024 22:46:36
Maranakis wouldn't have sc back and for a good reason he can't do it in the premiership fact so let's get past the fist pumps and let it go were not in the bottom 3 so chill it might not ever happen 😁.

25 Apr 2024 06:21:59
That rhymed Carlo!. 🤭🤭🤭.

25 Apr 2024 06:48:58
Skeggs?
You kept bringing him up for months after he left!
😂😂😂.

25 Apr 2024 09:04:39
Will people stop talking about bringing back former managers good or bad they're gone get over it if we go down I'm sure the greek owner will fill any void he makes once again good or bad.

25 Apr 2024 09:14:17
Sheffield have a manager that inspires?
Really?

25 Apr 2024 09:20:11
Is that from your mole carlo?
Or just general knowledge that we all know
Has murillo been told the same?

25 Apr 2024 09:29:10
Skegs you seem to have a bit of a fist pump fetish😂the only thing getting pumped every week with nuno in charge is the team!

25 Apr 2024 10:42:00
We know the assets at the club will be moving on if we go down or stay up and we will probably change coach you don't need a mole for that just common sense and the history of our owner.

25 Apr 2024 10:59:18
Mangala going for £20 million. Johnson went for £47 million ( they didn't allow the amount to count towards last season's losses). Trim the wage bill and the squad size, should stay within £83 million permitted losses this season (1 x EFL £13m and 2 x PL £70m) That's how it works, doesn't it?

25 Apr 2024 11:07:54
Boys I'm not the one who started the thread about SC crying whimpering fans of SC again and Rog that's because of posts like this 🙄 🤣🤣🤣.

25 Apr 2024 12:05:28
Bring back Philip Montania , the happy clappers worshiped him.
CARLO.

24 Apr 2024 17:15:06
Remember wenger came from nowhere, changed the whole idea's of the game as a whole, with it's science. For me, and btw f ck off to all those hecklers. Say what ya see. Anyway took over a new era. Wenger could also see players outta position, henry exceptional. From winger to forward. And brought exceptional beliefs in his team as clough/ taylor did. Just approached it differently. This is what i want to see from the owner. For taylors sake you've gambled enough on players. Where did nuno come from? Your usual sh1t from people saying the fans want attacking football. It is football we want reds. But in an honest and horrible way if needs be. Like the old days. I know i know can't get away with it now. But just for me give someone with new ideas and most of all bring trust outta the players. Let them believe in themselves and club. Not the usual predictable sh1t.

24 Apr 2024 18:54:23
Just had the takeaway guy at my door. he saw my Forest fleece, and basically said he hoped we stay up, and we've had the worst decisions against us he has ever known.
And he's a Liverpool fan. I said "Fair play mate. hope yous destroy them tonight"

{Ed025's Note - never trust a Liverpool fan Rogie, and have you checked if your car still has wheels mate?.. :)

24 Apr 2024 19:13:02
I couldn’t agree more Bowie. We need a manager who thinks outside the box, a leader of men and an inspiration to those around him. Sadly I don’t think Nuno is the answer, he’s not what we need at this time. In fact to be honest I think he’s been quite poor but no doubt the referee and VAR bias hasn’t helped him one bit.

24 Apr 2024 19:44:19
Vincent Company.

24 Apr 2024 19:59:34
Thing is for me froggy, it's easy to push forward mate. Any manager can do it. It's that mental thing they instill in the badge, grabbing the players respect and reminding them just how sh1t they are at times. Making them work hard for there place. Remember before our moans on VAR and officials, it was the coaching and injuries, which to be honest i could only agree with. The stats again told us so. Now it's set piece stats and one pen. Reds we really have a premier team that could well hold there own there. But if your going to keep bringing predictable football, then your going to get predictable scores.

24 Apr 2024 21:17:41
Have to agree Bowie. I’m really worried mate as we seem to be sleepwalking to relegation. And yes, the players need reminding just what an honour it is to pull on our Garibaldi.

24 Apr 2024 21:49:26
Good to have you back Bowie. I would love a new manager with passion and belief in our club - unlike Nuno. Not so sure that Vincent Company is the answer to our woes Pineapple. Either Clough or Psycho would be my ideal manager to take us forwards from wherever we end up next season.

24 Apr 2024 22:41:10
Love Pearce and Clough as players so let's leave the memories there legless.

24 Apr 2024 19:23:56
I did Ed, however I have a dodgy tummy now! 😂😂😂.

{Ed025's Note - it will be all that humble pie you must be eating mate.. :)

24 Apr 2024 23:12:02
Disagree Skegs. Our club needs a massive injection of passion. Ex-players with management experience would bring a new lease of life I think.

24 Apr 2024 23:34:32
If you want that legless then you need a X forest player like Pearce to be a owner of our club or even a rich forest fan and that ain't happening sorry to say.
