Nottingham Forest banter 7

24 Sep 2026 12:16:32
So I've just purchased the new away shirt, in green, looks fantastic. I've ordered the blue shirt, so I might wear one to Goose Fair. I'm taking my grand kids. Ive told them we're only going for an hour, because I've only got £500 spare ?.

24 Sep 2026 11:14:11
Finally some fantastic football related news, Prime Minister Burnham is reviewing the alcohol laws at football stadiums, calling them outdated and discriminatory. Looking like we'll all be able to have a pint in our seats with the possibility of drenching those in front of us when the excitement hits. ??.

24 Sep 2026 13:52:37
RRH
At the CG it's a case of "if” the excitement hits atm rather than "when” mate. Anyway, the beer will have gone flat by the time the VAR check is done.???
Andy Burnham's made a great start as PM as I predicted he would. A new energy in Government after the tepid and out of his depth Sir Kier. ???.

24 Sep 2026 17:32:33
If fans want a pint do what they do now and get one from the bar and watch the game on the tv screens around the stadium. If it comes in Forest should have a yes no vote for all the season ticket holders, no one else.

I like a pint or three before the game, but not during it. Fans would be up and down in their seats with s. heads fetched and carrying booze for their mates, only to spill most of it on others. Crap idea.

24 Sep 2026 18:12:01
Exactly ValeRed, It's just a politician trying to mend something that's not broken!.

24 Sep 2026 20:52:09
He's no politician nor the prime minister I voted for.
He's nothing more than a jumped up Mayor trying to get the working man on his side!
Politics should never interfere with football.

25 Sep 2026 08:44:00
He is a proper football fan though Ripley. Did alot of campaigning after Hillsborough. Season ticket holder for many years at Everton. Did a great job in Manchester and gets things done. No airs and graces and highly competent.

25 Sep 2026 10:19:27
Stokey - that's the first time that highly competent and a politician have been mentioned in the same sentence. Are you feeling ok?

25 Sep 2026 14:18:29
It is an unusual combination of words I admit mate.???.

23 Sep 2026 18:29:15
Missing post Ed!

{Ed033's Note - No, it was non football related and therefore went on the discussions page.

23 Sep 2026 20:25:08
So what about stokeys post and circumcision ?.

23 Sep 2026 22:02:47
You been hiding out in dictionary corner skeggs ?.

24 Sep 2026 08:47:03
Skegs and Ed. Don't worry its no skin off my nose.????.

24 Sep 2026 09:57:09
Just saying. 1 minute it suppose to be about football then its a free for all. then its football again you can see why some posters are getting confused. Simples.

24 Sep 2026 11:00:55
Bowie?, four syllables, i would imagine his brain just melted?. ?.

24 Sep 2026 13:56:14
Skeggs is always confused tbh. can't string 2 words together sometimes and now he wants the Pulitzer Prize.?????.

24 Sep 2026 15:49:35
No confusion here girls. the site apparently supposed to be about football so we've been told.

25 Sep 2026 11:30:12
Ed 1. The anarchic and nihilistic side of me would love to see Skeggs having a crack at being Editor on here. What do you think? Just for the international break? What do you think mate?
We could all do with a laugh these days.
????.

{Ed001's Note - he can barely read or type in English, it involves a lot of reading, I just don't see how he could cope. Anyway, I am not getting involved with editing any more, so not really up to me.}

26 Sep 2026 10:16:22
Ed 1 Mate, I wasn't being serious about Skegs. I m perturbed by your comment that you are not getting involved in editing any more. I hope that doesn't mean you are relinquishing the post. Your knowledge of the game, shrewd perception and endless patience are second to none and would be sorely missed on here. I'm sure I speak for everyone on this site.

{Ed001's Note - I just answer questions now.

26 Sep 2026 12:35:23
Well, I'm glad we can still count on your expertise Ed. It would be a sad loss to this site if you were to withdraw altogether mate.

{Ed001's Note - I have just had enough of editing after 25 years of it.}

23 Sep 2026 17:57:15
Did anyone in authority ask the supporters ( you know them, they are the ones who pay for the whole thing) about having a 3 week break just as the season started. No, thought not. Bar stewards.

24 Sep 2026 07:41:41
To be honest the Nation's League is a complete waste of time! The football season has only just started, now it's a 3 week break! It's like being back at school, you just get back into the run of things and yet another holiday break! If we are lucky all our players will come back injury free!
Oh yes, and I don't think England will do very well anyway under Turtle!

24 Sep 2026 13:38:09
Prem Club Revenue

Broadcasting: 42% – 45%

Commercial: 40% – 43%

Matchday: 15% – 18%

So less than 20%. That's why it isn't the priority. Looks like the TV companies get most of the say.

24 Sep 2026 14:00:00
That's always been the case since the advent of the Premier League and wall to wall TV coverage Cyclist. The actual fans are just there to provide background " atmosphere " and sound effects.

23 Sep 2026 15:52:56
Just a couple of thoughts to ponder on during the International break fellow Reds.

They say circumcision doesn't hurt but I had the op at birth and I couldn't walk for a year.??

My teacher told me I'd never be able to do poetry because of my dyslexia but today I made 3 vases and a jug, so screw you Mr Henson.??.

23 Sep 2026 10:40:22
If there are any weirdos like myself missing their daily football fix, Concacaf YouTube, daily games, okay, okay not the most riveting i know, but Friday 3pm is Costa Rica v Curacao. Failing that there is terrestrial coverage of the home nations. And out of the international window J-League YouTube is also worth checking out. ?.

23 Sep 2026 16:12:40
Im watching the new wonkas golden ticket on Netflix, brilliant btw ??.

23 Sep 2026 17:49:24
My bad, its The Witcher first??.

23 Sep 2026 19:01:15
1st reply missing, hence making zero sense. ?.

23 Sep 2026 17:46:33
Ive been holding out on starting a new series, just finished Reacher on prime, waiting for Bloodaxe to start, looks absolutely epic??.

23 Sep 2026 19:19:53
Director big M or scorsesse? (Geordie big brother, who goes you decide)

23 Sep 2026 20:47:33
Big M all day long.

24 Sep 2026 06:27:56
HI REDROBINHOOD
If you like Reacher, have you tried Neagley ? Not as good but, she is one of his old MPs.

24 Sep 2026 10:39:39
Not yet mate, i literally only saw it on the recommended list during the end credits ofthe final episode. I'll give it a spin at some point?. ?.

24 Sep 2026 10:50:22
Ay Up nffc1954, thanks for posting, had a look to see if you had posted before, you had, there was plenty of memories of posters from 2019 and the opinions about the stadium back then, and myself, with one of my old username and best, great looking back??.

22 Sep 2026 16:07:08
An "Extended Goose Fair starts on Friday, after the Nottingham folk and visitors have been spun around, shot in the air, gone round and round the showmen will pack up for another year, and there will still be six days to wait for the Forest v Palace game!, the Premier has just got going and know there's a massive break, and the international breaks are not kind to Forest Awoniyi, Aina, Sangare and Wood have came back with injuries.


Good luck tonight Forest u21 against Burton ??.

22 Sep 2026 16:40:03
Yes, I might pop along to that Mossy. Burton, I mean, not Goose Fair.

22 Sep 2026 18:33:27
Got forest u21s in my acca tonight they better win ?.

22 Sep 2026 19:13:31
Enjoy if you go, and good luck on the ACCA??.

22 Sep 2026 18:15:47
Just great to see football on Saturday's these days. Us lot falling into the 1% club. I've actually been asking for noel Edmunds house party to keep me going on a high. Big M Mr blobby shouting at the useless coach and players. (Coz it's not all glossary) I keep waiting for beadles about, Jeremy put in goal for us. No gloves to match. Just sorrowful football.

Get back to the old days again. Run in nettles. Only this time ground weekends out till they are sorted. Thing is most of ya just don't see just how much the game has gone downhill. Look at the full league.

22 Sep 2026 20:09:13

Mr Blobby was hilarious!!!

He didn't give a s*** who he annoyed!!!

????

22 Sep 2026 20:32:06
Didn't go in the end, got visitors but following it when I can.
Kiss of death is Skeggs is betting on us though, if the World Cup is anything to go by.???.

22 Sep 2026 20:39:59
And your prediction of dyche being a good manager for forest was a good one stokie ????.

22 Sep 2026 20:44:05
Glasner (glossary ??? far from porn)

22 Sep 2026 21:02:07
Bit like yours Skeggs!!!
????.

22 Sep 2026 21:10:15
I dont know. mr m running forest is like Trump running America. both got big heads lots of money but when it comes to brains and running things properly they haven't got a clue.???.

23 Sep 2026 11:09:12
Goose fair? Have to cycle through it to get my son to school. What a row for however stupid long it lasts now. Another rip off.

23 Sep 2026 11:18:10
DDS strikes again. We will never know will we Skegs? I wish I had a crystal ball like you. mind you, yours always seems to be on the blink.
Do I see signs that the Mr M. dream you are living is turning into a nightmare? Hope not.

Good result for the Forest kids last night though.
From the 3 bookings and one red card, it sounds as though the Brewers had had a few too many.?.

23 Sep 2026 11:26:58
I live a stones throw from Goose Fair, thankfully can't see it, but can hear it and smell the diesel oil and fried onions mix smell, I avoid the area around the forest, if I wanted to encounter vagabonds and pick pockets I would still put my bets on at Paddy Power on Bobbers Mill?,,

23 Sep 2026 13:00:25
When I worked at Gregory Boulevard Police Station we had keys to get up onto the roof of Braidwood Court. The view of Goose Fair from up there was quite a sight. and over the whole area including parts of the City.
Non Forest fans I speak to always assume that our club was named after Sherwood Forest rather than the Goose Fair site
In Victorian times it was a race course with ( as now) football pitchesin the middle of the Oval shaped track where Forest played long before the City Ground was built.


There are old photos of thousands of people watching the horses racing around, with hurdles etc.

23 Sep 2026 14:44:20
The noise is irritating. I didn't mind when it was only a few days.

22 Sep 2026 16:02:16
Just re watched the entire Coventry game on Forest TV ( I'm a glutton for punishment I know). I make the following observations.
Firstly, like the Leeds defeat, a draw would have been a fair result. Before anyone jumps on my back, Coventry ( at the moment) are much better than their league position before kick off suggests. They are organized, motivated, work incredibly hard for each other and, crucially, believe in Lampard. On the back of a 5 nil drubbing and previous results that's shows durability and good morale. It could change of course, but they don't look like last years no hopers Wolves.
Secondly, for their goal, Munoz seemed to lose the flight of the ball. I wonder if his mask ( ever so slightly) restricts his field of vision and the ball over his shoulder was in a blind spot?
Thirdly, Diomande didn't do him any favours by covering for Munoz.

When the ball was in the air, he was jogging and he was still jogging and out of position when the ball hit the back of the net. Slack imo
Lastly, Diomande looked like he was blowing out of ass on the hour mark. He's way below the required fitness level. Likewise, Murillo although he's further on than Diomande, Munoz likewise. Schlager looked like he'd played in the Premiership all his career. Ran and scrapped like a dog from first minute to last.
Tactically, OG is asking a lot from his wing backs. Yet,he doesn't change them, if at all, until the last knockings. Which is a shame, because Netz and Aina are just as good imo.

22 Sep 2026 16:34:50
As a footnote, it's not as though the goalkeepers astute hoof was sudden. He had it lined up for ages before he launched it. Our defenders had plenty of time to get set.

22 Sep 2026 16:37:49
Good post stokie, i'm still a long way short of being convinced by Diomande, hopefully milenkovic will be fit for the return. The Cov result/performance was very disappointing but the game against Villa,especially the second half showed what we are capable of, or have i got my rose tinted spectacles on again? Whatever its lovely here in southern Spain.

22 Sep 2026 12:25:39
Apparently Cole Palmer has pulled out of the England squad because he's taking his barber to Court. ???.

22 Sep 2026 13:19:04
Declan Rice uses the same barber ? ? ?.

22 Sep 2026 10:17:29
The definition of madness is doing the same thing and expecting a different result

Ndoye must be dropped and replaced by Jesus or Hudson Odoi he is quite simply dreadful

Glasner please remove him from the starting 11 now

Jesus has scored two goals in 2 games as the one against Coventry should have should.
