Derby County - 2 Nottingham Forest – 0 I wrote before about my distaste surrounding the whole concept of both the idea of the Brian Clough trophy and certainly for playing a friendly against our bitter rivals. Don’t misunderstand me though, Brian Clough deserves any recognition coming his way, and the fact that significant sums are [...]

Radio Nottingham made it sound like a wholescale riot, from the (admittedly grainy and shaky) footage below, it looks more like a bunch of chavs getting overexcited then running away to me. Whilst I absolutely don’t condone this kind of moronic behaviour, I don’t think it’s quite in a league with what happened when Notts [...]

Notts County – 1 Nottingham Forest – 2 Okay, perhaps it was never really going to be Sir Spencer Weir-Daley day! I’m currently listening with disbelief to Radio Nottingham as it appears that there has been a clash between Notts and Forest fans on the pitch at Lego Lane at the full time whistle – [...]

Normally I don’t inhabit places cool enough to pick up copies of The Left Lion magazine, but I just happened upon issue 18 abandoned in a bar, and upon flicking through was pleasantly surprised to find some of my own work in there! Many of you are probably aware I’ve appeared on the website a [...]

The Approach on Friar Lane in Nottingham are hosting what promises to be a really interesting and entertaining evening with former Reds striker Stan Collymore on 4th September. It should certainly prove interesting for the contingent on LTLF who managed to get him to post on their forum recently! Stan was – certainly for fans [...]

It’s not really been much of a secret that we’ve been after former Notts County defender Kelvin Wilson, since Preston rebuffed a bid for him earlier. But upon a revised bid of £300k, it was accepted and the youngster has agreed a four year deal with us, turning down Doncaster (and Leeds – ha!) in [...]

It transpires James Perch is absent from the training session in Austria, due to the arrival of a baby daughter, Ella. So huge congratulations to Perchy and his missus – that’s great news. Although fear not, he is still training with the academy to ensure he has a decent preseason preparation whilst the first team [...]

Thanks Jason for spotting this and posting a comment – but I think it’s worthy of it’s own story. To be honest, I’d forgotten we were playing a friendly on the cheap side of the river at all, so hadn’t realised the game against the Sheep was just a day later. Well, it seems that [...]

Phew! It felt like it was never going to happen, now, didn’t it? I thought I was going to end up looking silly and they’d end up signing for dirty Lesda or something when it took until fairly late in the day for Forest to confirm we have indeed signed both Chris Cohen and Arron [...]

I’m not normally one to jump on relatively unsubstantiated rumours, but this one generally won’t go away – and I’ve spotted suggestion from fans of Yeovil that it may be true. Certainly both players, particularly Davies, impressed mightily against us in the playoff games – and the general feeling amongst the Glovers supporters seems to [...]
