It’s certainly news that a lot of the more knuckle-dragging fans around me will be pleased about; Forest have today completed the loan signing of Queens Park Rangers goalkeeper (and former Sheep) Lee Camp. Given the nonsense that gets spouted about Smith, it should quieten down those who regularly spout vitriol in the direction of [...]

Queens Park Rangers – 2 Nottingham Forest – 1 As last night’s beer subsides I can start to gather my thoughts; I hadn’t still intended to be in London now, but sometimes you just have to go with the flow and take a bit of pleasure when you can! Last time we visited Loftus Road [...]

Apparently we’re signing Welsh International Carl Fletcher on loan; although the whispers I heard were that it would be completed today – and as far as I can tell, it hasn’t been. Perhaps Warnock has been time-wasting from afar again? Or perhaps not. After Palace’s shameful antics at the City Ground he owes us a [...]

I find it a bit odd when I get an email asking if I’d mind awfully reviewing a book for somebody; but certainly odd in a good way. This little compilation by Paul Willetts is an interesting idea, and one that will certainly be relevant to football fans of a certain age. Because it’s all [...]

It was advertised as an Evening with Garry Birtles and Kenny Burns at The Approach, but it rapidly became ‘The Kenny Burns Show’ as the legendary former-Reds centreback took centre stage for the evening, much to the amusement and entertainment of all present.

There’s a lass at work who can be a bit slow; she’s not stupid, just gullible, and doesn’t engage her brain before she speaks sometimes. ‘I heard Forest are playing tonight; who’ve they got?‘ she said, not really interested – but thoughtfully engaging me in a subject she knows is dear to my heart. ‘Ireland, [...]

Nottingham’s lasting tribute to legendary football manager Brian Clough will be unveiled in the city at 1pm on Thursday, 6 November. Thousands of people are expected to cram into the Old Market Square to see an eight-foot high [...]

Nottingham Forest – 0 Crystal Palace – 2 I’ve been deliberately hanging fire on a match report to give my mind a chance to try to organise thoughts and apply a little perspective; I’m not sure that it’s really helped – but I do think that today I had somewhat of an epiphany; and to [...]

It’s half time, we are one down due to an excellent strike by Ifill after a Watson-shanked freekick. What I’ll remember the half for is yet another sub standard refereeing show. And an unwelcome reminder of what a cheating bastard Warnock is. We’ve had diving, playacting and bookings to Tyson and Thornhill thanks to Palace [...]
