Beefsteak 305 Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 I used to like to go along and see Notts play Forest in those fairly short-lived days when they were competing on equal terms. This was Tuesday 13th April 1976. Score was 0-0, and the attendance was over 28,000 which must be the biggest crowd I was ever in at Meadow Lane. In fact it was bigger than turned out at the City Ground for the reverse fixture earlier in the season - probably due to Brian Clough having started to pull Forest around. The programme was in a newspaper format for which there was a slight craze among some clubs at the time (Derby being another), but despite the amount of space there was no league table given. I had this 'programme' autographed by most of the Notts and Florist teams, I then waited ages and ages to get Brian Cloughs autograph, but got it I did. It would be worth a few bob nowadays too, but like most things I had of any value, my mother through it away! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,294 Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 Forest, County and Mansfield all winning on the same day in a traditional 3:00pm kick off. A long time since that happened Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,294 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Good one Fly, Derby 18th five points from five games. We get one live free to air EPL game each weekend, first time for years. Watched the first three games of the new season. Can any football expert on here tell my why the referees do not crack down on all the shirt pulling, arm holding, and general obstruction that goes on at corner kicks and free kicks into the penalty area. They need to give a few free kicks for obstruction, that would soon stop it. Or do we need another ref to keep an eye on this sort of stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually they've been instructed to do so this season, but of course all the players and managers (especially Mark Hughes) are moaning about it when something is given against their team.

Oztalgian 3,294 Posted August 28, 2016 Report Share Posted August 28, 2016 Thanks Merthyr Imp, I watched Spurs v Liverpool at the weekend, I did not see much evidence of a crackdown as the antics at corners was blatant and could not possibly have been missed by the ref.

DAVIDW 1,683 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Forest's Oliver Burke sold to Leipzig for £13 million . Crazy money for someone who only played 30 odd games ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LizzieM 9,508 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 So they sell a young lad who's just started scoring goals and keeping Forest competitive. Why do Forest always have to sell their best players? Must be desperate for the money? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 I agree Lizzie, but as you well know, Forest have done this for over 50 years. Ridiculous, but not totally unexpected. Ambition my ar5e. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oztalgian 3,294 Posted March 29, 2018 Report Share Posted March 29, 2018 Wasn't it Banks that spotted Shilton's talent whilst Shilton was still a schoolboy? Shilton will forever be remembered for the "Hand of God" goal by Maradona in the 86 world cup and Banks for the save from Pele in the 1970 world cup and on the basis of that save my vote would go to Gordon Banks. But this in no way detracts from the skill and presence of Peter Shilton. They are both in the top 5 of the worlds best ever goalkeepers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,294 Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 Just watching Wolves and Man City 1-0 early in the second half. Dubious goal During the commentary it was mentioned that Wolves had 5 Portuguese players in their starting line up. Not including their manager, guess where he was from, you got it...……..Portugal English Premier League my ar$e. There ought to be a limit on how many "forrin" players are allowed in a team 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
