Couldn't tell in real time but that was 100% a foul on MGW for their opening goal, takes the p*ss VAR did nothing. 🌳.

05 Oct 2025 23:13:02
And adding to that, the elbow from the burnley lad, how isn't that a red? VAR is a fooking joke🌳.

06 Oct 2025 05:43:40
Never a foul. Guimaraes got the ball first.

06 Oct 2025 07:38:04
Wouldn't be Forest if we hadn't ridiculous decisions against us. MOTD never even mentioned it! 🤯🤯🤯.

06 Oct 2025 07:52:41
Add to that the foul in the build up to the Danish sides breakaway third goal.

06 Oct 2025 09:10:02
MOTD didn't mention it because it wasn't a foul. Not worth mentioning as it was nowhere near a foul.

06 Oct 2025 09:54:33
Agreed Ravers. No foul.

06 Oct 2025 10:02:22
Ravers, he may of got a touch on the ball but running through the back of a player is still a foul, i believe these days its called excessive force. Granted i'm all for more contact and proper tackles but nine times out of ten that's a foul. Just want some consistency from the officials, its not like they don't have two opportunities to make the correct decision what with VAR always being eager to interfere. 🌳.

05 Oct 2025 20:49:35
Aren’t we just about where we were when Nuno came, if we had to forfeit 4 points we’d be equal bottom.
It’s beyond belief.

05 Oct 2025 19:36:14
Hello youreds thought I'd best introduce myself. Lifelong forest fan just born at the wrong end of the a52, first game. Southampton at home 1975/ 76 just moved to Spain had enough of British weather, anyway uuureds.

05 Oct 2025 20:16:08
SHEEP ALERT! SHEEP ALERT!

05 Oct 2025 20:18:50
Welcome, but I think your username will ruffle a few feathers on here!

05 Oct 2025 20:33:11
Is that the Southampton match that was postponed because of fog? Is so, I was there.

05 Oct 2025 20:54:10
You can't pull the "Wool" over our eyes mate!
🤣🤣🤣.

05 Oct 2025 21:04:10
Isn't Jack Grealish a decent down to earth top bloke!
Saw his interview, comes across as a genuine guy.
Hope you get to the World Cup mate.

05 Oct 2025 22:31:23
🐑🪓 Enough said. 🌳.

06 Oct 2025 07:39:45
You probably couldn't have seen him anyway Gazibaldi!
🤣🤣🤣.

06 Oct 2025 08:52:05
Rogie, Grealish blotted his copy book a bit during Covid when, as captain of Aston Villa, he led a campaign in Brum, with death rates rising exponentially, to stay indoors and isolate. Then was caught on the razz with his mates.
Apart from being a hypocrite and Trumpian levels of adultery he’s a good guy mate! 😂😂😂😂😂.

06 Oct 2025 09:54:52
Redram, mate, be careful not to get “baaahed”!

05 Oct 2025 18:55:21
I haven't seen today's game or the defeat to the Danish Pork Butchers 11 as I'm on my hols in Spain and couldn't find the games on TV or in a bar.
In general terms Postecoglou is, imo, a poor fit and appointed at the wrong time.
Firstly, our success in getting into Europe is based on a solid defence and quick counter attacking football last season ( in the fine tradition of Cloughies teams). I don't see the point of appointing an attacking coach who doesn't play to our strengths and particularly with no pre season and no time to coach the team ( and the 13 new transfer window arrivals ) in the new methods with the season well under way.
Ok I have some sympathy with Ange because he's been thrown in at the deep end and has had bad luck with injuries to key players like Aina and Murillo. As Napoleon said, it's better to have a lucky General than a good one.
I do agree that we needed to expand the squad to cope with the extra Europa games with the associated air miles and loss of recovery time between games. The jury is out on recruitment. For example Zinchenko is the slowest full back I think I've ever seen at the WFCG, exposed against Sunderland. Ndoye has good skills but lacks Elangas blistering pace to get away from his marker, having beaten him at close quarters. Wood looks a shadow of his former self in Anges new system. Jesus looks like he has potential.
A word of warning. The Coates betting billionaires who own Stoke City got rid of Tony Pulis because of his dire but successful ultra defensive tactics which involved getting the ball off the pitch as often as possible and breaking up the play based around a great goalkeeper Begovic ( like us) two massive and ruthless centre backs, Huth and Shawcross ( ditto) and a big old fashioned centre forward Kenwyn Jones ( ditto Wood). He brought in more attacking coachs and look where they are now.
I'm not saying we are as dire as Stoke were. They were exceptionally anti football ( see Jonathon Wilson's excellent book " The Inverted Pyramid " for their exceptional negativity analysed statistically)
Ange is in the same position as Nuno when he first arrived and Cooper before him in terms of preparation for his new era and, like them, it's going to be a struggle.

05 Oct 2025 19:35:47
Nice to see you posting again Stokey. Miss your Monday reviews!

05 Oct 2025 19:47:55
Good to see you posting stokey.

05 Oct 2025 19:53:54
Welcome back Stokey mate.

05 Oct 2025 19:59:30
It's good to have you back on here my friend. I've missed your anti-brevity posts! As such, I've just requested another appointment at Plymouth Eye Hospital.

As we all know too well, being a Forest fan has always been a roller-coaster ride. However, my biggest worry at the moment is how quickly the passion and belief from last mid-season has evaporated.

How we all regain that passion and belief is ultimately down to Big M - and his personal struggle between reality vs his own ego.

06 Oct 2025 08:56:10
I guess my post is just a long winded way of saying “be careful what you wish for “ mate.
Anyway, off to the pool with my light holiday reading “Judgement at Tokyo” by Gary J. Bass, a magisterial account of the Japanese post WW2 war crimes trials…. 🙄😀🤔.

05 Oct 2025 18:09:30
I feel sorry for 2tone.
Lost his £1 bet saying GW and Anderson would both have a shot on target.
Mind you, he was never really onto a winner there, was he.

05 Oct 2025 18:57:09
I got some money back on Yates being booked 👍😂.

05 Oct 2025 18:01:02
It, s all gone
DTP
Down the pan!
I, d sooner get rid of Edu before Ange, an absolute disaster for the club I, ve follow fo nearly 70 years.
Nothing what so ever to say about today’s game.

05 Oct 2025 18:41:06
I'm waiting for pineapple to address us entitled know it all's on the positives of today! but I expect he's in denial. I'm quite sure you'll get a ticket for the Derby game, all the coke snorting trophy hunters will have deserted the city ground by then.

05 Oct 2025 19:03:00
The ticket for derby was for skeggs.

05 Oct 2025 19:04:38
The positives today is we didn't let more than 2 goals in and Ange is due talks with the Greek Father.

05 Oct 2025 19:19:11
I missed the match today as I was playing wheelchair rugby representing Cornwall. It was only a 'friendly' but sorry Winter - we lost vs Devon!

I suppose Carlo we have to put our realistic heads on. As I've posted before - performances are quickly forgotten about, yet results are there forever. Our results speak volumes about the state of our Cub at the moment.

Is it Ange's fault? Partly. Is it the players fault? Partly. Is it our owner's fault? Mostly. So frustrating that Forest seem to have become the master of their own downfall again.

05 Oct 2025 17:57:10
Let's be positive. If we had got a draw everyone would be pleased , but a loss was expected if people are honest However MGW and Anderson ran and ran. Yates was also the battler we know he is. De Cunha slotted into defence perfectly and Savona had a good game. Sels was of course our MofM. We were undone by two errors not by skilled footballing. MGW was bundled off the ball ( a foul ) but should not have been trying to dribble the ball out of defence. Equally the surbinator gave a suicidal pass to Anderson who was caught with the ball inside our penalty box when it should have been cleared. Wood is not hitting the ball cleanly atm. Excuses I know but Newcastle were not superior to Forest at least until they scored.
No way can anyone say this is APs fault. Anyone out there could suggest how it's APs fault. His substitutions were all what I suspect all of us would do. Wood I would persist with as he will come right. You can guarantee that Newcastle will bid for Anderson in January. I suspect MGW will go too. Our side will then go backwards and downwards. A new manager will make no difference at all. The only way our fate will change is when these players believe they are good and equal to a side like Newcastle. The referee was absolutely not on our side. We had 3 bookings and they had none.

05 Oct 2025 18:37:53
You must have watched a different game to me. This was a very poor performance and it's down to the lads' spirits having being broken by the owner, then again by Ange.
Are you really a Forest fan?

05 Oct 2025 19:05:59
It's the fault of Marinakis for employing Ange when we had a great Coach in Nuno.

05 Oct 2025 20:27:59
No chance Anderson goes in Jan unless someone stumps up bout 80mil.

05 Oct 2025 17:46:58
From my reading of today Morato put a shift in and so did Anderson. MGW is still dreaming of Spurs and all his passes were poor. Ndoye could have hurt them more, but putting on three attackers (Wood out of sorts) with so little time left smacks of desperation.

Can our owner sit and watch this nonsense!?
Please Mr. M. put us out of this misery once and for all!

05 Oct 2025 17:36:32
Time to end this 3 at the back and we look better without a number 10 nonsense.

Get 2 wingers back out there and a number 10 pulling the strings. It's not like we don't have enough wingers on the books lol!

Marinakis obviously got carried away along with a lot of fans wanting "sexy football".
Well we ain't got the players to do it as most can't trap a bag of cement and are too slow in possesion.

What about Betis I hear some say? Well it was one half against a continental team that will let you do it but even they soon sussed it out.

05 Oct 2025 22:57:31
I agree with you Fred.

06 Oct 2025 07:53:03
I half agree, Fred. I think we look best with 4 at the back but 4:3:3 and no number 10.

If one of our number 10s was playing well, I'd probably be wrong. I'd try McAtee or MGW as a pivot of 2 number 8s in a 3-man midfield.

05 Oct 2025 17:25:17
Anyone get me a ticket for forest vs sheep next season 😔 my god if maranakis can't pull trigger on ange and edu I think I'm done great owner just has a bad habit listening to the wrong people who know nothing about football.

05 Oct 2025 16:57:31
Right I’m not out to really bash a man when he is down but this clown takes the biscuit. Last season AP blamed everything on injuries at spurs for their 17th placed position. So mr Aussie big balls what’s your excuse now? Because our injury list isn’t so bad. It’s clear you haven’t a clue and it’s an utter embarrassment your being paid for the “job” your doing. Hang your head in shame. Can you imagine a summer signing thinking he’s going to play under Nuno only to have this clown inflicted upon him? No wonder the players are at sixes and sevens. ANGE OUT NOW.

05 Oct 2025 17:38:22
There doesn't seem to be anything from Ange on the touchline.
He shakes his, no interaction with player's no barking order's.
He's a delusional empty shell.
It's not his fault he's here the fault lies with Edu and Marinakis.
The Greek Father has a decision to make this evening.
The want of Silverware and progress from Marinakis has clouded his poor judgement and decision making.
Mr M with patience and time your wish would of been rewarded with glory.
Instead you have done the opposite!

05 Oct 2025 17:55:06
Spot on ripley.

05 Oct 2025 20:30:52
Said same at Burnley away he was stood there hands in pockets hood up like a pensioner waiting for a bus in the rain

I think he will get til Nov break, see where we are then

No matter what we just cannot go down or we will be gone for another 20 odd year's.

05 Oct 2025 16:45:12
The mess we are in is down to one man.
Marinaskas nobody else pure and simple.
Appointing this clown.
The players we have got do not come bad players all of a sudden.
Could it be that every game we have a different line up.
Making gelling nye impossible.
This clown doesn't know what his best team is.
Do us all a favour and go back to watching surfers on Bondi beach.

05 Oct 2025 17:34:55
When the devil is he going. The cup win for spurs was an absolute fluke. Says something when they sack him days after. Relegation fight at moment. Did owner get him because he was a Greek? Sympathy appointment?

05 Oct 2025 19:08:07
The Greek's have an affectionate feeling for one of their own until something drastic happens.
And it has happend!
