Moore starts with the psychology…

Handsome devil Ronnie Moore has been the first to start some kind of psychology in the build up to Forest’s visit to Tranmere Rovers at the weekend.  Tranmere are likely to be favourites in this match given their home advantage, so the former Rotherham United manager has set out by pointing out the numerous injury [...]

Paul Gerrard to Blades?

Since the rumours linking former Reds keeper Paul Gerrard to Gillingham seem to have been absolute piffle, there are new rumours suggesting that Neil Warnock is looking to draft in the free agent to cover for Paddy Kenny (presumably while he convalesces by eating pies and sweeties). He’s no stranger to Sheffield United, having been [...]

Cloughie statue fund: “Grand internet auction”

Fans of Forest and beyond may be interested in the 12 lots that have just gone onto eBay to raise funds for the Brian Clough statue fund.  There are full details on this website, but below I’ve listed a link to each of the auctions with a summary for those of you too lazy to [...]

No more heroes?

David Johnson retiring sparked these thoughts in me, and in particular fans at the City Ground chanting for him during the disappointing draw with Carlisle United yesterday. The diminutive striker has always has his adherents amongst the Forest support, even during his (not insignificant) lean spells with the club. I watched the fans chanting “Stand [...]

Tranmere Rovers: ones to watch?

I’ve never liked Tranmere Rovers much, largely to do with their association with that bastard John Aldridge, but they’ve had an impressive start to the season, and sit just a point behind the mighty Reds. They are also our next opponents as we have to make the trip up to Prenton Park next saturday, the [...]

How to take a perfect penalty…

I remember John McGovern talking about this on a BBC Radio Nottingham Matchtalk phone-in when Forest had just missed three penalties in a row at the start of the season.  He was adamant that a well struck penalty into the bottom corner (C or D on the picture) was the best place to put a [...]

Game of two halves..

Nottingham Forest – 0 Carlisle United – 0 This was the game of two halves that proverbs speak of.  In the first half Forest looked okay, creating chances and in all honesty could probably feel hard done by to not be ahead, we had a couple of chances cleared off the line (according to the [...]

Calderwood: We’re a good team

Colin Calderwood is certainly talking the talk in the wake of Carlisle United’s visit to the City Ground tomorrow.  What remains to be seen is whether the team can walk the walk following on from tuesday night’s disappointment against Oldham Athletic. The Forest manager spoke frankly about the problems Forest exhibited on the night, and [...]

Strange chants: part four

This one’s definitely odd, but also pretty hilarious! Rice was signed by Brian Clough when Steve Hodge left his first spell at the club in 1985. Whilst never a world beater, he was certainly not the scapegoat that many Forest fans made of him (heh, some things never change!). The chant goes to the tune [...]

Swansea fans face ticket scrutiny

Presumably after the disgusting behaviour from a section of the Swansea support last season, their fans are facing a bit more hassle in gaining access to the City Ground this time around. They’ve been allocated just over 1,000 tickets initially, with a further 1,000 available if they’re required. Fans will be asked to provide ID [...]
