Nottingham Forest banter 9

30 Aug 2026 17:33:22
Man Utd are woeful yet again! They've made a point of Martinez, the centre half - he's had 34 completed passes - only 8 of then went forward and they think that's great! The other 26 went backwards. ? ? ?

30 Aug 2026 20:50:21
Didn't see the game, but I'm assuming this hasn't aged that well. How did they score 5 goals then?

30 Aug 2026 21:40:10
Premature ejacuposting. ?

30 Aug 2026 22:10:23
Jammy slip, 1st goal.
Handball, 2nd goal, heard that before.
2 deflected woeful shots, 3rd goal!
I just don't like Man Urcrap!
What happened to the new rules on;
Grappling in the box - nothing rude.
5 seconds to take throw-ins.
How much time for subs?
Premature Ejacuposting was very good, by the way! I still hate United!

30 Aug 2026 23:31:47
Biggest one was the handball, shocking. ?

31 Aug 2026 07:42:25
Absolutely ridiculous... However, it is United.

31 Aug 2026 09:37:51
A class and very moving act by Man Utd though to have the very young sons of PC Blades, the traffic officer killed by criminal scum on the A66 near Middlesbrough to come out with the team.
Absolutely heart breaking and well done Utd ?

31 Aug 2026 09:51:03
Yes, a lovely gesture.

30 Aug 2026 13:03:02
Stuart Pearce was the best full back we've ever had....Commitment and passion and hard as nails.....Ask Ted McMinn. ?

30 Aug 2026 15:15:27
That's as maybe, but you wouldn't want him on your team on Eggheads or The Krypton Factor. ??

30 Aug 2026 15:27:03
You neither, Larry. ???

30 Aug 2026 15:48:25
The Sgt doth protest too much, me thinks. ?

30 Aug 2026 16:26:02
Class song, Red Cyclist!

30 Aug 2026 18:36:48
Hey Larry perhaps you could go on the Gay Pride Parade as Queen Gertrude mate with Skegs as Ophelia ? ……???

31 Aug 2026 06:07:04
Still trying to recover the situation, Stokie. ? We had a bit of a banter exchange on a banter site, that's what it's there for, & as all other posters agreed, you lost. Move on, mate, it's getting embarrassing. Three days old now, time to start a new thread. ?

31 Aug 2026 09:50:13
"All other posters", Larry. There you go again, speaking on behalf of everyone. I love a good joke; I just thought it wasn't particularly funny.

But, in fairness, a good one by your standards, I suppose... whatever floats your boat, as they say. ?

31 Aug 2026 09:52:18
Don't include me in that, Larry.

31 Aug 2026 09:58:31
I wouldn't do that to you, Rogie the. ? ?

31 Aug 2026 10:03:23
I tell you what lads, I'll include a bit of Shakespeare, that'll knock him bandy & also cement my superior intelligence to everyone else on this site. ?. He was only a thick prison officer anyway. Oh hang i decided he wasn't one. ?

31 Aug 2026 10:27:32
Ooooh matron. ??

30 Aug 2026 10:57:25
The most remarkable thing about yesterday’s result for me was that we were awarded a penalty ( as rare as a unicorns tooth at Anfield ) and likewise 2 VARs went in our favour.
Watched the replays this morning and there’s a good argument that it was a foul throw by Delap then Neco had already taken the shot when he was clattered.

I’m not complaining though …. what do you think Ed 1?

{Ed001's Note - it was a foul throw but the officials miss them all the time, it is shocking how many foul throws there are in the professional game. We have very poor levels of officials, so you just have to get on with it when their decisions go against you. Let's face it they can't even use the subs boards so what can you expect? Overall, Forest deserved at least a draw, so difficult to get upset.}

30 Aug 2026 12:01:48
I’d go along with that Ed. A draw was a fair result imo

30 Aug 2026 12:28:51
Same here.

30 Aug 2026 08:33:25
I didn't see the game yesterday but listened on Talksport... Pearcey was very critical at times of Neco yet posters say he was mom... I'd sooner believe you guys as love Neco's attitude and commitment to the shirt... big mistake if we let him go.

30 Aug 2026 08:56:18
Absolutely would be!!!
He's Forest through and through!!!

30 Aug 2026 09:00:51
I would also keep Hutchinson, he's the quickest player we have.
I'd certainly give him another chance.

30 Aug 2026 09:01:29
Neco's been brilliant for us.

30 Aug 2026 09:09:50
Take no notice of Pearce, he was just a marauding, fouling lump. Nico is a lot more of a technical player. He wasn't man of the match, though. That was McAtee by a country mile.

30 Aug 2026 10:10:47
The best fullback we ever had.

30 Aug 2026 10:33:21
Harrison deal is off.

30 Aug 2026 10:46:12
Larry. ??

30 Aug 2026 10:47:12
Attention seeking again, eh Larry? ?

30 Aug 2026 10:48:15
I honestly thought Williams and Murillo were off it yesterday. Liverpool noticed this and exposed them. Before I get jumped on, everyone has an off day. ?

30 Aug 2026 10:31:09
How dare you insult one of the best players ever to wear the Garibaldi Bin Dipper, the A46 south is the best place for you!

30 Aug 2026 10:52:57
Ok Larry....???

30 Aug 2026 10:54:34
Come on stokie dont be so down we promise to let you dress up as the policeman again.and me and Larry will be Indian construction worker.when we do our ymca act on the 12th pal ?

30 Aug 2026 11:18:32
"Is it a bird?? No!!! Is it a plane No!!!...It's Skegg Man to the rescue!!!!".
???

30 Aug 2026 11:21:12
Now there's something you just can't turn down, Stokey, because ? "You can get yourself clean, you can have a good meal, You can do whoever you feel." ? ? ? ?

30 Aug 2026 12:10:19
Look lads, in all seriousness, we are lucky to live in a western liberal democracy and it’s 2026 already. It’s clear that you are trying to
repress your natural sexual orientation which is unhealthy. I urge all 3 of you to come out ( or squeeze out in your cases) of the closet and own it.

There’s no shame in it, indeed I celebrate diversity. I would defend you with my life.
Just be careful to be discreet about it if you go on holiday to certain Midfle Eastern countries. Is that right Ed 1 as a resident in Dubai?

{Ed001's Note - it is fine here. Arabia & Qatar may be different but its legal in Dubai

30 Aug 2026 12:19:14
Red Robin Hood. ????

30 Aug 2026 14:11:33
I've got to show the world all that I wanna be
And all my abilities, there's so much more to me
Somehow I'll have to make them just understand
I got it well in hand and oh how I have planned
I'm spreading love, there is no need to fear
And I just feel so good, every time I hear

I'm coming out, I want the world to know
I got to let it show
I'm coming out, I want the world to know
Got to let it show

30 Aug 2026 13:03:02
Im perfectly comfortable in my skin thanks, Stokey, i freely admit to holidaying in Brighton a few times, I've even been to watch the 'Scissor Sisters' in a gay bar down there, i was accompanied by two old Naval lesbian friends. I had a fantastic night. Although i was relieved to get home and remove the cork i stuffed up my rear, no unexpected rear entries and all that.

So no need to lecture us on coming out, I've always considered those type of people as the real closet ones. By the way incase you get the wrong idea, im perfectly straight, have two sons and am married(to a female), never touched a man, so please don't flirt with me ??

30 Aug 2026 15:35:59
Very interesting, Robin. By the way, don't flatter yourself, mate... I'm afraid I'm strictly one for the ladies, married twice, 2 kids.
But I do understand why your friend calls himself Larry, clearly a tribute to the late great Larry Grayson...


By the way, I did take part (with my wife) inadvertently in a Gay Pride Parade in Providence, New England. We had only gone there in a pilgrimage to Edward Hopper's house.

30 Aug 2026 15:44:37
Oooh Matron. ???

30 Aug 2026 15:52:47
As far as the cork up your jacksy RRH what can I say? I guess a man’s got to have a hobby……..?

30 Aug 2026 16:19:33
I never considered that a hobby, ok, ok, im ready for you to teach me all about the hobby side of using those pockets the right way. Please a two page essay on using the bodies natural pockets(for hobby purposes of course), heard Larry is an expert at in locating contraband in those dark, damp places??

30 Aug 2026 17:05:25
Don't think so, RRH, Larry wasn't a real Prison Officer, just part of his stage act, mate.

30 Aug 2026 17:15:01
Booooo, party pooper. ??‍?

30 Aug 2026 20:06:42
Red Robin, one of my closest friends (and my first best man), was a matelot. He did 12 years in the RN, then joined Nottinghamshire Police, and we worked on the CID together. Popped over to see him and his wife in Stapleford a week ago.

He was on the Bulwark (the rusty B), stationed in Malta, Gib, then at a control centre near Marble Arch. He had a bit of bad luck with bowel cancer recently, but is still in fine form.

30 Aug 2026 20:36:57
By the way, Skeggs, I don't remember an 'Indian construction worker' in Village People, mate!? Was he called Achtar Mac? ... ??

30 Aug 2026 21:29:05
You still going on, Stokie. I think everyone has got bored, pal. You're like Horlicks before bed, pal. You start talking and everyone goes to sleep. That's where I'm off. I used to have to take ? tablets, now I just look at your posts, sweet dreams. ? ?

30 Aug 2026 21:32:08
Thank you, that really useful bit of information. I feel far more educated now. ? ?

30 Aug 2026 21:33:38
And ah s***, I scanned over that and missed the last. Sorry to hear that. You are definitely a party pooper tonight. ?

31 Aug 2026 09:54:11
There you go yet again, Skeggs, speaking for "everyone." Typical right wing... I'm guessing Reform? Sorry about your sleeping problems though, and glad I could help, mate.

After my usual 9 hours kip, I've woken up to see some right miserable posts from you and your mates. As I used to say to my kids, and still say to my grandkids, "Don't be a grumpy trumpy.". ?

Hope you and the weather cheer up a bit for Larry's Parade.
Remember what Dolly Parton (bless her) said, "If you see someone not wearing a smile, give them one of yours.". ? ? ?

Anyway, can't chat, I've got a plane to catch. Off to wall to wall sunshine in Palma de Mallorca. Give you some peace and quiet. Missing you already.... ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

29 Aug 2026 22:22:35
Credit where credit is due. Good performance today and a shout out to McAtee who I have criticised on here numerous times. Well played young man.

30 Aug 2026 10:34:38
McAtee was arguably the best player in England in his age group, coming through the youth ranks. With confidence and the right guidance, he'll come good.

29 Aug 2026 21:38:18
Oh, Romano says Here we go on Hutchinson to Milan.

So much for stability and just a couple of signing.

29 Aug 2026 22:41:17
It's a shame, I know, because he has potential and has played with Delap and McAtee, but we have too many wingers. And Og doesn't play wingers.

30 Aug 2026 08:33:40
What we are seeing is a manager who knows the strengths and weaknesses, and who is supported by the owner. He has identified what a number on this site have observed, that Sels has a flaw; understandably, Henderson is better. I don't think CP will agree to the sale, however. Alternatively, he has seen the strengths of McAtee.

Hutchison was, again, a young player who would improve, but does not fit into OG's plan, and neither CHO. These are OG decisions. I expect more in the next 24hrs. Ainia and Williams are very good players, and not bench warmers, but one or both I don't think will remain at the club much longer.

30 Aug 2026 10:47:25
We've been after Henderson for years. Was his distribution that good? That is my question.

30 Aug 2026 10:55:12
Cyclist, I'd love to have a proper England keeper at the club. ?

30 Aug 2026 14:12:43
He bought two houses in Nottingham when we had him on loan. He was so set on coming to us.

Poor Palace!

30 Aug 2026 18:40:49
Cyclist, Hendo is a great goalkeeper but not entirely comfortable with the ball at his feet from what I remember of his time with us. I can't see that much difference in quality between him and Sels, mate.

30 Aug 2026 20:48:25
In that case, which one is younger and can improve?

29 Aug 2026 21:36:52
Romano rumour:

Just posted on X that we are now bidding for Dean Henderson.

Poor Palace!!!

29 Aug 2026 22:30:49
Mr M, what a man. ?? I've reserved a seat for him at the Skegs Mafia table. ?

30 Aug 2026 10:32:33
That will make 2 of you then.

30 Aug 2026 10:49:18
You will be able to kiss his big fat Greek arse in person then Skeggs ……….?

29 Aug 2026 21:26:48
My mate is an Everton fan. He is kicking off about Harrison Armstrong. It's like Anderson all over again.

Obviously, as a friend, I wouldn't dream of mercilessly winding him up about it. ??

29 Aug 2026 19:49:51
A lot of positives from today’s game
1. McAtee starting to look at home in the 8 position he seems a lot stronger this season.
2. Jair Cunha played with a lot more confidence and looked comfortable in a back 3.
3. Neco continues his consistently high levels of performance.
4. We moved the ball much quicker and looked to get it forward.
5. Jesus worked his socks off and is a real team player.
6. Delap looks like he will be a handful and Van Dkye looked uncomfortable against him.

A great performance from the whole team well done lads ??.

29 Aug 2026 20:43:40
Well said, Munmad.

29 Aug 2026 21:04:52
Stevie G was very complimentary of us.

Reckons we should have a good go at the League Cup this season. Great to see the TNT analysts doing their pre-match homework.

29 Aug 2026 19:20:35
Hope Forest can push on from this and have a steady season. Excellent point from a game I was really fearful of.

29 Aug 2026 20:14:52
I was too, mate... Credit where credit's due, Ollie!

29 Aug 2026 20:46:13
I'm hoping so too. There will be no relegation battle this season, though, if Glasner gets to do his job.

29 Aug 2026 20:53:16
True Skeggs.

29 Aug 2026 21:22:54
Not many will get anything at Liverpool this season, so well done, Forest. Brilliant point, and looking forward to Spurs next week. Glasner is the man.
