Has anyone eaten dog sh!t before? I heard it tastes good but I’m a little put off by some of the hygiene warnings.

My mentally handicapped brother used top eat dog **** in his youth. It didn't do him any harm. Lived to a good age.

I often thought it odd that a team is penalised when their player genuinely needs to go for having treatment, playing a man down whilst the offending team has all their players Unfortunately, practically all players cheat and there is no way a referee can usually make a judgement if a player is rea...

Forest have only one more point then at this stage last season. It's only that the bottom three this year look so out of touch that they seem safer. Considering all he's spent in the last two seasons (nearly £200 million including around £50 million back in for the sale of Brennan Johnson) I can see...

I don't think the total number of referees in this country has a bearing on how good the top referees are.

According to a Guardian article, in 2021 there were 24,500 referees in the England, 40 of them elite.

Hipper

Definitely. And I have to question what's actually going on with said bloody Hungarians. They campaigned to join Europe, become part of "the club" and then turn out to be closet Ruskies all along and keep undermining what Europe is trying to do. Very weird and they need to make up their minds as to...

I heard that we are interested in a "midfield destroyer" today on TBS, didn't catch the name but £15m?

Surely we need a battleship.

Hipper

Perhaps we should be trying to put some names to those faces. I'm thinking it must be the home game against West Brom in Dec.'70. So, on the left......Mick Docherty, Alan West, Dave Thomas, Geoff Nulty, Brian O'Neil, Dave Merrington (in long coat). Obviously the great man in centre. Then, on the ri...

I remember that guard of honour. If you look at the smiles on the player's (and everyone's actually) faces it shows how we all felt about his England call up at the time.

Wasn’t it banned because of old fashioned attitudes towards women, the game wasn’t suitable for them was the reason given?

O Rose, thou art sick:
The invisible worm,
That flies in the night
In the howling storm,

Has found out thy bed
Of crimson joy;
And his dark secret love
Does thy life destroy.

Worm and storm don't rhyme, at least not these days.

Then you'd get some pretty useless results. Why would any half-decent lawyer want to waste their time with an arrangement like that?

More profit in suing the club, I would think.

Not strange at all. It’s my view of him. His goals masked what was a very average player at best.

He was just someone we bought that was completely different to what we are used to buying. That's what attracted people.

I would hope that people who knew what they were doing, would be employed if such a crisis arose. You know like experts in their field, not a bunch of unqualified MP’s.

Taylor was for time wasting at a free kick around the centre circle.

He was all set to take it then walked away for Trafford to take it

We had a similar incident at Forest involving Taylor and Trafford only this time Trafford was booked. Consistency!

Virgin Media told me that they have deals every so often with a limited number of uptakes. Once the number is reached the deal closes.

I've just been on the phone to the 'thinking of leaving us' department (their call centre seems to be located in Porto, Portugal, so they said).

They need to fit a sensor to each seat to see which has a backside on it (this may not work in the CFS). I've given up trying to get hold of tickets as I can't get 4 together.... however on matchday there's plenty of empty seats which is annoying.

Bit of a cheek.

Nottingham Forest vs Forest Green!

Well, if Forest Green's player was eligible when they beat Scarborough, and they then beat Blackpool.

Hipper

When Newcastle won 8-0 at Sheffield United this season they had eight different goalscorers.

Hipper

Based on what I've seen it's been legal for a while. So has grappling at corners (ask Foster after the Forest game), and pushes in the back, particularly if someone has a free header or shot on goal.

Hipper

I'm feeling quite positive. This result is proof of what some have been saying on here - we'll walk The Championship' next season.
