Nottingham Forest banter 5

Well done the Villa, but I fell to sleep on 40 minutes! My brother in law, a Villa fan text from Besiktas to say Goal!
Well done the EFL Panel for standing firm on the cheats at Southampton! I feel for the fans and players, but Rules are for everyone - disguised as Shepard's Spies or not lot. ? ? ?

Just got back from my trip to Koh Samui, a fantastic place, and highly recommended for anyone who wants to go to Thailand and wants to get away from the crowds. I managed to watch the Newcastle and United games. The lads really dug in, and only one point from the two games doesn't reflect the effort they put in.

Disgraceful decision by the referee, and I'm glad he's been dropped from this weekend's games. Looking forward to Sunday and say goodbye to some of our players, and let's hope we can get our business done early this summer and have a proper pre season.

Just one for Winter - I admire the way that you stand your ground when 3 other regular posters seem intent on deriding you on here. I find it all a bit sad that there are other so-called Forest supporters who seem more intent on slagging-off other fans than supporting their own team.

You just keep doing what you're doing Winter mate. I'll await the invite for Mrs L and myself to attend your housewarming. We'll bring copious amounts of 'Cornish Meal Pods' and maybe a few contraband tangerines for you.

20 May 2026 22:44:17
Well said, Lego!!

20 May 2026 23:22:40
Cheers, Lego, mate. I'm good for tangerines though, living abroad makes them fairly easy to get hold of. Pasties and Rattler, did you know, as a combination, they make the world go around.
And, honestly, mate, don't worry about sticking up for me. I don't worry what these Northern Janners think. Most head down your way this time of year anyway, bleedy Emmets. ? ?

20 May 2026 23:24:37
Thanks, McGovern. Good to see you back on here, my friend.

21 May 2026 19:15:20
Great stuff, Lego. I know what you mean about the Cornish "living abroad" like RRH. I have lived amongst a tribe called "The Potter People" for several years now. I have, I think, been finally accepted. Their language has taken me a long time to learn. The first time I heard the phrase "Kick a bo agin a wo and head it till yer bost it" I thought it was a pagan incantation. Words like "Senneytucked" and "Sneaped" were worrying.

They have a strong worship of clay objects called "pots" or "whimseys" and venerate their mythical god "Wedgewood". I have noticed also a veneration of primitive route one football, which is regrettable. Their written word, mainly Arnold Bennett, is not a patch on our Byron, D.H. Lawrence or Alan Sillitoe, but still decipherable...
But, once you get used to their ways, they can be very welcoming. ????

21 May 2026 20:47:25
As a footnote, their tribal dance is much more violent than ours, led by the high priests Lemmy and Slash, whereas we are led by the more anodyne and reflective Bugg and Paper Lace. ???

21 May 2026 21:34:30
Back on here saying what, Lego?
Nothing about Forest?

22 May 2026 09:49:08
DTP, to paraphrase the great West Indian Marxist cricket writer CLR James... "What does he know of Forest, who only Forest knows?"...

20 May 2026 19:53:02
I have said before about Harvey Elliot, if he could be persuaded to come to Forest, he would be an excellent signing and maybe cost < 30M.

20 May 2026 19:30:30
I'd love to have seen mgw more forward. But his built in wanna work for the team doesn't let him do it. Hence my lovely little William's, bye how i luv that laddies workrate and struggle.

He just pumps that heart like a horse. Never gets upset I've noticed when under. Just beats the badge reds. Plz don't let goals mask your scores. Just saying x.

20 May 2026 21:17:53
He really breathes Forest, mate.

20 May 2026 21:45:22
I remember watching Williams starting for us in the early days after his transfer, and thinking that he was a bit 'hit and miss' at the time. Wow, I think the guy has since become the most dependable and loyal of all of our first-team players.

20 May 2026 21:57:16
Well said, Lego. As for the Smoggys, the big boss wouldn't like spying. Bye, lad. Still pulling strings up above. Bless him. Hope alls well, Lego.

20 May 2026 22:19:53
I rated Williams from day 1, if you go back through my past comments. Someone who doesn't need to be recognised, on show in the dressing room, etc. A quiet lad that does the business on the pitch for the shirt, quality player and very humble.

20 May 2026 22:36:05
Apart from personally having some doubts about the guy from day 1, I now totally agree with the rest of your post, Skegs. The guy oozes quality mixed with humility at the same time.

20 May 2026 22:57:54
I hope your legs have recovered well since the procedure, Bowie. I've looked into it and the process looks horrible.

FYI, despite planting my stumps in pots of fertiliser every night they're still not growing back. Bummer...

SOH in the face of adversity, Bowie.

21 May 2026 00:27:19
Thank ya for the kind thoughts, Lego bud. But I'm not so good with feet now. In fact, right mess. Long story. Btw, yank flew nest to look after her mother. Ain't coming back.

? The plot thickens. I'm now fighting the government for pennies instead of this lot. Been off work about a year and a half now. But oi, I'm a fighter. Geordie ma in me. ?

21 May 2026 06:28:00
So sorry to hear that Bowie, mate.
Keep fight'n!!!!.
???

21 May 2026 10:47:27
Sorry to read that Bowie. Hang in there.

21 May 2026 15:37:23
Yeah, thanks Reds. She suffers really badly with PTSD from Iraq, and her back has had 3 x ops. She gets all the care she needs over there. Army vet. In this country, she gets none, and the meds for her back are pathetic. Life goes on.

21 May 2026 20:19:32
Not too sure what to say about your predicament, my friend, other than never say never.

21 May 2026 21:32:54
Glad you had a great holiday, Vale, bud, and ty. ?

20 May 2026 18:58:16
Football my fellow reds, so simple, yet brought so boring this season. Unless you all get off on, oops sneaked through that one. May I add a lot do on here. I'm actually up for the recliner ideas, hey the players are doing it in supercars. ?

20 May 2026 21:47:37
Is there an Interpreter out there....?

20 May 2026 22:00:11
It's a Skegs fing Lego.

20 May 2026 15:47:05
Salisbury not selected to be involved in any Premiership matches this weekend!
A draconian penalty eh .! ???.

{Ed's Note - Ed001 has posted a new article entitled, Aston Villa v Liverpool - A Not So Quick Liverpool Perspective

19 May 2026 20:22:28
Talking signing players then cyclist?
How about Tavernier, Truffet, Scott and Jnr from Bournemouth?

Makes no difference though really.

20 May 2026 17:12:16
DTP, I think Bournemouth will sneak into a European cup of one sort or another, so their players will not be interested in us!
It will be a test for us on Sunday, but if the team plays with the same zeal as against United, it will be an entertaining match.

20 May 2026 20:17:14
Is that half cup full, Nuno? Or empty?

20 May 2026 22:35:11
They have already qualified for Europe.
But they play in front of a few thousand.
Players want bigger grounds to show their talent.

22 May 2026 16:35:13
Nunonono, or whatever, stick with Doc M. Makes it easier. ? I don't bite.

19 May 2026 19:31:52
Gutted for Saints being booted out, I get it if it was behind closed doors, but if you don't want people looking in, draw the bedroom curtains. (Not a peeping Tom by the way :)

It's always the fans that end up suffering, feel bad for them for what would have been a great day out for them, hope Hull win now.



Also hope Chelsea win tonight and have that relegation fight go down to the last day, it would be cracking.

19 May 2026 19:59:01
To be fair, mate, Saints have admitted to multiple charges. Ipswich and Oxford games also had a peeping tom in the bushes. Oxford should feel particularly hard done by, since they went down. Four points deducted for next season, added to being booted out. Now time for the Premier League to take note, and get City sorted. ?

19 May 2026 20:02:37
Didn't reckon much of the offender's disguise either! Dressed as a shepherd. Apparently he was a shepherd spy... ? ? ? ? ? ?

19 May 2026 20:09:52
Apparently Southampton said he wasn't a member of their "'Staff". ?

19 May 2026 20:18:02
Certainly "crooked" Rogie. ????

19 May 2026 20:28:47
He was also a spy for "Lens" too!!!!
Ok!
I'll stop!!!
?

19 May 2026 21:30:47
Good riddance to the cheats!!!!!!

19 May 2026 21:41:33
Rogie...
"The Man From B.u.n.g.l.e?"
"The Man With the Golden Bung?"

19 May 2026 21:57:58
The Spy Who Came in from the Dell?

19 May 2026 22:15:02
Cheating is cheating, full stop. But if it had been Man Utd or Man City, nothing would have come of it. So, yes, feel sorry for Southampton. Come on Hull.

20 May 2026 05:29:54
Sorry, I was talking about City being cheats.
Lol!

20 May 2026 15:48:55
I'd recommend that Southampton should think about changing their nickname..... Any suggestions? ????

19 May 2026 18:51:02
Breaking News - As it stands, Southampton have been booted out of the playoffs, appeal pending. ?
