Doncaster Rovers – 1 Nottingham Forest – 0 A frustrating afternoon for the Reds – but whatever irritations I got from the on-the-pitch antics pale into insignificance compared to the reaction of some of our so-called supporters. Some of them are like petulant and spoilt children, and it’s been like that since Derby away – [...]

I found this interesting article on When Saturday Comes. It highlights how Forest and Hull haven’t met in competitive action since 1977 – with Forest going on to get promoted from Division Two and the Tigers finishing in the bottom half of the league. There’s been a lot of water under the bridge since then [...]

The games are coming thick and fast now, and we’ve not been having the best of times in the last few games. That is starting to show in the stands and frustratingly certain sections of Forest fans have been reverting to type, somewhat – both in the stands and on the message boards. Indeed, if [...]

Apparently the gist of Mark Arthur’s comments were the very familiar soundbites around not being held to ransom on signings – and apparently that we only had three serious targets (Shorey, Moses and Pratley with a side-order of [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Sheffield Wednesday – 1 Interesting game today, as another very direct team did a good job at stifling an under-par Reds side. A shocking refereeing performance (clearly the Wednesday fans on the way out thought so too – chanting ‘two-one to the referee’ outside after the game) probably was the most [...]

Okay, back from the wilds this afternoon – I should probably be trawling for post-mortems of both the match and post-match incidents from last weekend, but, d’you what? I can’t be bothered. Derby won in a poor spectacle and I think, from memory, it’s fair to say they wanted it more and once again it [...]
