Respect

Good luck for this afternoon, I hope you get it over the line for a number of reasons, and the odds are in your favour.
I hope you don't mind an outsider saying this, and I'm sure you all know this, but regardless of any euphoria or disappointment tomorrow, you'll all still be proud supporters - as b4 was, and is. As someone who read on here for a while before I registered/posted and saw lots of his comments when you were in a bad place;  I stand by the fact that whoever we support, we could all do well by being a bit more like him, when it comes to our clubs.

As a side note, some lovely words from @Owen87ITK too, to go along with that displayed message. Well done that man. A deserved and fitting tribute. 👏 

Put as much as you can afford in and then pray Liz Truss or Gordon Brown doesn’t become PM again  ftfy

I retired at 53 from RR, Took my pension and chilled out for 6 months, Then re set, I went and worked part time, I did this for 13 years, Chilled out between jobs when I felt my time there was up so moved on to other PT work...mostly cleaning or supervising cleaners.
Now retired fulltime...I'm 68 today 😊 🎂 and I find life is great and I enjoy everyday 👍 

Any of these! I had the top one.

 

Not sure which ones to take…

One for the Metallica fans amongst us

He’s a fan from South Korea, did a UK trip earlier this season, I saw him at Burton away and he was getting a lot of attention. He gets up at ungodly hours to watch games and often posts the goals/key highlights live on Twitter.
But for this season of all seasons, it has to be B4. I downloaded the FanHub app purely to nominate him.

I've just seen the three incidents on motd2. My take would be:
- first one, tap on the heel, ridiculous dive, no penalty.
- second one, ball strikes defenders arm from a yard away, arm in a natural position, seen em given, but not a penalty IMO.
- third one, yep, didn't get the ball, 100% penalty 😂

Isn't it great that it doesn't really matter though. In recent years, we've had to cling onto the hope of Forest failing because there's been so little to celebrate. I obviously want Forest to go down, but them staying up won't even register compared to the jubilation we should feel on Saturday.

They haven't exactly rolled out a welcome mat have they 😄. That's the lesson that we learned quite quickly - the idea of the 'Football Family' is a load of horse****. A call for solidarity for the sake of the fans? Good luck with that. It happens very rarely and Blackpool/Derby was one of very few examples that I can think of. Not even 100% sure that would be repeated if it was all going off now.

Seems that even threats to the very existence of a club barely causes a ripple these days, so don't expect much sympathy from fans of other teams if you overspent and might go down a division, particularly if your fans were being arses last time the teams met.

I haven't had the time to concentrate on this season as much as I would have liked but what I have gathered from this forum is that we have played the sh%te football all season with a clueless manager. One game left and now we find ourselves second on the league with fewest goals allowed and most wins (tied) in the league. I can only guess how well we would have finished if we had played better football with a proper manager.
COYR!

Passed away today, 71. 😢

So good, they named him twice

Nothing would be more derbyesque than a 40 page argument about how we should be allowed to celebrate before promptly losing to Cambridge and Carlisle. Why don’t we simply not worry about it and act accordingly when/if the time happens. And by accordingly I mean alcohol. 

I don't think the fanbase is that divided - at the match there's plenty of pro-warne chants for example. A few posters on here give the impression of a split fanbase, but the reality is different. It's like reading twitter and thinking the world is mental, whereas in reality you've just stumbled across some nutters in the village square.

The job Warne has done, since Stevenage away, has been exemplary.
You cannot play one touch 50 pass moves with league 1 players. Not feasible. If we blow it, and have to face up to another season down here, Warne is definitely the man to rebuild us and go again.
If we go up, he will have earnt the right to build a Championship squad and have a go at keeping us up, as per his original brief.
I know he's marmite, with his off-beat personality profile, but he's clearly an honest and genuine man and it's hard to see a nice guy cop for abuse.

Reckon he would have started at least 3 threads this week 😂 
What do you guys think?

But surely you need to meet the short term goals to be able to meet the longer term ones? 🤔

I'm assuming that you are expecting Clowes to fund this pay off of his employee that will have just met his goal?
Hopefully, Clowes will realise the money will be better spent on funding the squad for next season.

When we go up in two games time  , we will suprise many including most of the fanbase next season  by flirting with the top six , eventually finishing a credible 9th , ready for a prem promotion push in 2025/2026 ..
