I was grumpy yesterday after the match, still am a bit. A few have commented on the unusually negative match report – well, it was negative, second half at least – but I’m not about to join the doom-mongers just yet. As Billy himself said, ten games to go, plenty of twists and turns to [...]

Yesterday’s refereeing performance (which probably contributed heavily to the length of match report – sorry!) is still consuming my every waking moment. I was infuriated during the game – and it seems that mostly people are thinking along similar lines. Whilst I rarely have praise for match officials, I’m struggling to think of a poorer [...]

It’s that time when the transfer window is starting to creak closed – and so the rumours go into overdrive. I’ve long since opted to try my best not to rehash them, because – well – frankly often when I have passed on information I’ve heard in the past it has turned out to be [...]

I was really saddened to learn this evening that former-Forest goalkeeper Dale Roberts has passed away at the tragically young age of just 24 years old. No details have been released as to how it happened as yet. He was at Rushden and Diamonds having left the Reds in the 2009 January transfer window – [...]

There’s been a few things playing on my mind as a Forest fan recently that I’ve decided to just brain-dump here and see what my fellow fans are thinking and feeling too.. apologies for the necessarily self-indulgent nature of this post – but here are a few things playing on my mind at the moment [...]

The man himself wanted no epitaphs of profound history and all that. So I won’t write one. Not again! Let’s face it, there’s a lot of excellent ones already out there in book or website form, but I would of course urge you all to take a moment to reflect, have a think and perhaps [...]
