Nottingham Forest banter 7

07 Apr 2024 08:54:11
Just returning from a few days in Benidorm. Fulham win convinced me to take a couple of Forest tops for the day time drinking. Point to note, only Blades fans had anything to say 'scabs' was the shout. Yes it was the young 'uns, who weren't even born during the strike. No point trying to explain/ defend that unfortunate debacle, so I just shouted back 'you've got no coal'.
Plenty of Forest fans calling out 'you Reds' and general consensus was we were right to appeal and we're staying up. FTID.

Does anyone really think that Forest will get anything against Tottenham tomorrow, forget that freak first half against Fulham, we played out of our skin, does anyone think that we will repeat that performance again against Spurs, I'd love to think so but any sane person see that happening. The truth is, after today's results we are back in the sh- again, a loss against Spurs and the win against Fulham means diddly squat. The game against Wolves has now become a must win game for me. I'm afraid this season is going to go to the wire. Is anyone really confident that Forest can go to Sheffield and Burnley, and come back with more than a draw from each game. Yes I'm full of dome and gloom but I'm also realistic. I'm afraid that the points deduction for Everton and what happens with Forests appeal will make the difference weather Forest stay up or return to the championship, Luton will just not go away. They are the Forest of last season.

07 Apr 2024 07:34:57
Seen to many David and Goliath matches in my time, yes it's real toughie, but you give it a go giving 100%. Support vital today, it can be done, hook by crook, luck, whatever we must be a team. Good luck today.

07 Apr 2024 09:42:02
Dreamon, How can you not be confident that we will get something from the game later?
I really don't get it at all, yes we destroyed them first half, however we dug in when it mattered in the second half to secure our victory, I for one am expecting more of the same later, that's all we can ask for.
FTID!

06 Apr 2024 20:40:41
I think 1-1 tomorrow guys.

06 Apr 2024 18:07:37
See our old striker Ollie Burke as finally scored again ??
CARLO.

07 Apr 2024 07:31:06
No he hasn't, Carlo. He hasn't scored all season.

07 Apr 2024 11:00:33
Oh yes he has!
Someone put D3 right ??
CARLO.

07 Apr 2024 13:03:55
Not for Birmingham he hasn't. Unless were on about two different Ollie Burke's.

07 Apr 2024 15:11:02
I, m on about the Ollie Burke who’s with reality star Megan McKenna ??
CARLO
Keep up.

07 Apr 2024 16:11:08
Never heard of her.

06 Apr 2024 17:03:28
Terrible results for us today; Luton and Everton winning and Brentford getting a point at Villa. We have got to get something tomorrow and probably a win by any means? Repeat of 1st half Fulham performance for 90 minutes please.

06 Apr 2024 17:30:44
It will be the same gutless tripe away performance Red Hot just mark my words. In fairness though we wouldn’t normally expect to get anything from Spurs away.
Terrible results for us today, this will go to the last game possibly even to court if we are a point or two short of staying up.

06 Apr 2024 17:37:15
Other teams trying there hearts out, guess it's all hands on deck at spurs. We should do it, a little faith goes a long way. ?.

06 Apr 2024 17:48:33
2 nil win ureddddssss ureddddssss.

06 Apr 2024 17:52:22
Thought balloons had left?
FTID!

07 Apr 2024 10:51:30
The Luton players are more determined than our players. That's the truth in the matter. They keep going and trying until the final whistle. We've had a habit of going to sleep in the final few minutes. Got to pick up where we left off against Fulham.

07 Apr 2024 13:25:56
They are mate and that’s just a fact.

06 Apr 2024 14:25:09
Without the points deduction the relegation issue would be more or less settled now, the promoted teams would be on their way back, has the tribunal decision been done a little to help these teams and keep the season alive longer, they wouldn’t have caught Forest or aEverton without the deduction, s.
You know what Sir Brian said” Never trust anybody, definitely don’t, t trust that so called impartial shower.
CARLO.

06 Apr 2024 14:57:08
Carlo, I’ve been saying it all season mate, no good for skys coffers if there is no last day jeopardy for relegation. And guess what, if we pull clear we will get docked again. Sky want that shoot out at Burnley on the last day. I’m pretty much done with football because I Honestly believe it’s as corrupt as described above.

06 Apr 2024 16:54:04
How could Luton be bloody leading?
Not surprised at all tbh. part of the Silly End of the season.

06 Apr 2024 14:01:40
Got a good feeling about our trip to Tottenham tomorrow I think we will get 3 pts last time I had this feeling about an away match in London is when we beat Chelsea at the Bridge

We are travelling down by car today and having a night out in the smoke tonight

I think we have found our best 11 atm which is

Sels

Williams
Obamadele
Murrilo
Aina

Yates
Danilo

CHO
MGW
Elanga

Wood

Possibly Dominguez for Danilo but the rest nailed on for me

Neco is my player of the season so far he is playing out of his skin atm since being given a run in the side COYR.

06 Apr 2024 22:30:17
I still would put Reyna in instead of Elanga or instead of Elanga another centre back. Every ball possible should go to MGW and then from him to Woods and then a goal!

06 Apr 2024 12:45:23
Mindful of the fact that this is a football banter site - I hope this post is OK with the Eds as it is for charity. Any help you guys can give me along the way would be really appreciated. I'll have a good support team with me for safety - but I'll be climbing the favourite mountain of SAS training - Pen Y Fan - 'legs-off'. I'll either be pushing myself in a wheelchair or crawling up if I get knackered! I'll keep you info'd.

Are you a member of the British legion legless?

06 Apr 2024 13:46:40
Ed?
How about having a "Moaner Of The Month" competition?
Just for a laugh lol!

06 Apr 2024 14:06:06
Wed all be joint top for that rogie be a lot of first place medals ?.

06 Apr 2024 15:00:55
Good luck legless mate! ??????I ve posted on here before that I worked with a lot of ex military during my Police career and they were all a credit to themselves, their families and society as a whole.
I am Gift Aid registered with the British Legion so I’ll make a donation there as before.

06 Apr 2024 16:27:14
Many thanks for posting Ed. Thanks Stokey and Skegs - I'm not a member of the RBL but I work for a similar forces charity called SSAFA. I'm climbing Pen Y Fan to raise money for my wheelchair rugby team, to help get more disabled people playing sport again.

{Ed033's Note - Ok LeglessRed, good luck - sounds like a tough task.

Rogie, i think Ed7 won it last month. :)

06 Apr 2024 17:04:05
We could have a longest rambling poster award for Stokey.

06 Apr 2024 17:47:24
We could call it 'The Ronnie Corbett Award' Cyclist. As I said before I do love Stokey's posts, but I fear going for a beer with him as my ears might start bleeding!

06 Apr 2024 17:48:37
Got that one safely in the cabinet already Cyclist! ??.

06 Apr 2024 18:08:13
I bet stokeys beer his flat before he finishes talking ??.

06 Apr 2024 19:34:22
Very funny Ed!
My wife says I'd win it "EVERY MONTH! "
????
Ps!
Great to have fun back on here!

06 Apr 2024 19:36:46
Here "Stella" do you think there's a place in Europe for 2nd and 3rd mate?
???.
Or would there have to be a "Moan-Off"?
??????.

06 Apr 2024 21:56:17
Rogie - let's face it. Given the roller coaster of supporting Forest for so long we have to have a sense of humour to even survive it. It's nice to be alongside fellow-sufferers at last!

06 Apr 2024 10:18:32
With apologies in advance to our estimable Skeggs I've attempted a Bowie style lyrical arrangement in an idle moment ( of which I have many) and called it "The New Boy Rap". ( just a bit of fun and no offence intended).

He's dusted down his recliners
For which he's had some decliners
And a dearth of sixty niners
His slippers are by the fire
Just like an American diner
The microwave is on the timer
He's a Cooper denier
He thinks Nuno is the finer
But our League position is no higher
Some Eds think he's a whiner
Some want to give him a shiner
But he ain't no gun for hire
He fights fire with fire
He ain't no social climber
And he ain't no liar either
He's always in the more
And the end of the season is nigher
But he's always been an opiner
He won't join in the choir
And he certainly won't retire
As he's always been a trier
And it's going down to the wire.
????.

{Ed001's Note - the bit I am having trouble with is you rapping. It is a very difficult thing to imagine Stokey.}

06 Apr 2024 10:41:48
Ed, mate, there’s absolutely no beginning to my talents! ???By the way “more” should have read “mire”!

{Ed001's Note - I really think we all deserve to hear you rap this song for us Stokey!}

06 Apr 2024 10:49:15
Mate, I’d have to plead guilty to Cultural Appropriation. But, as Shakespeare once said “Don’t believe everything you read online”! ??.

{Ed001's Note - I am disappointed we won't get to see Stoke's answer to Eminem....}

06 Apr 2024 11:39:20
You, ve obviously missed your vocational Stokey, mind you it’s not as a poet ??
CARLO.

06 Apr 2024 12:08:21
Stokey the history buff a ex copper that likes to play with a handcuff his long comments make you tyer ? but you do after admire the time he spends with a book and to be all honest I don't give a f##k. just a little go while I'm working ?? now you will start everyone off stokey you boy ???.

06 Apr 2024 15:11:29
He will have learnt in underwood miners welfare Ed, a hot bed of local talent, then, now and always ….

{Ed001's Note - talent obviously has a different meaning where you are from....}

06 Apr 2024 15:49:49
Trust me mate - it really is very different - maybe not so much now but in the mining days it really was. No one really ever moved away, a language and a humour of its own!

06 Apr 2024 08:01:48
Two matches to watch out for today, Everton Burnley and Luton Bournemouth. The toffees match will be a humdinger and likely draw. Luton I think will win, as Bournemouth will have their toes in the sand. Forest I am hoping for a draw. All in all leaving us in the same league position.

06 Apr 2024 08:42:39
Burnley Bournemouth and a forest win his my treble and I'm always right even when I take my winning betting slip to the counter and come away with nothing ?.

06 Apr 2024 10:27:27
The team can only be confident after Tuesday night?
MGW will make them aware of this I'm sure. all we ask is that they apply themselves like they did, who knows where it will take us?
Maybe take us to all 3 points?
I'm sure we can!
COYRS!

06 Apr 2024 15:52:54
I hope Morgan focuses on playing well rather than boating to impress his likely next employer and fans. He will be at spurs next season so let’s hope he focusses on his current employer for the next few games - I don’t resent him for likely move BTW - good luck to him ….

06 Apr 2024 07:39:30
{Ed's Note - DLIB has posted a new article entitled, Cool heads must prevail at Manchester United

05 Apr 2024 21:10:28
Brereton Diaz still only 24 on loan to the Blunts from Villarreal they got him on a free decent player so you think he's worth a gamble back at Forest?

05 Apr 2024 22:11:34
Not for me mate.

06 Apr 2024 09:25:29
Me neither mate, he hasn't really kicked on.

06 Apr 2024 15:11:49
I don't know he woke hard, gets in good positions and has contributed to goals and assists his last games. Hard to come on loan to the prem. especially with the team he is with. I like to see passion and work ethic. Surely what we are about. then again who knows.

06 Apr 2024 21:56:57
Yeah fair point Syd.
