Grumpy Git

It's just a pity the dog wasn't castrated.

Now that is an interesting proposition

The ref saw that, therefore no retrospective action possible, (but didn't think a deliberate hand-ball in the area worthy of a foul).

77-3, I think we'll need a miracle to survive until tea?

Sounds to me like the EFL are a complete bunch of total amateurs.

I doubt they could even re-arrange the following words to form a sentence: organise, brewery, a, couldn't, a, piss-up, in

POSITIVES: there's no one that needs time to "bed-in"!

Well if we had a stronger bench we could do the same...

Tough to sort out the moment, what with the price of timber and all that.

There's more chance of Oscar Pistorius catching athletes foot than us signing anyone today.

It wouldn't have mattered as its all a load of crap.

Turning Point Brew 'exile' Czech style Pilsner. Very good. Craft Inn Bearwood. Cheers. 

Four pints of that and bowl of stewed rhubarb and you'd have won the Olympic 100m final.

I've said it before many times on here, but my first venture to the hallowed Popside was the 3-2 game v Leeds and I was stood level with the 18 yard line, so had a front-row view of the Lee v Hunter heavyweight final.?

Happy, happy days.

That was it, it was still there in the 1970s bottom right hand corner in the picture, Normanton stand and A stand

Notice the angle of the Normanton end stand

The cars in the middle of the car park look like something off a demolition Derby. Never knew my Mrs used it to be fair!

Nope, The Boys Corner was close the the A stand, The C stand was next to the Ossie End.

I meant next to the A stand (Normanton End corner).

I always did get the A & C stands mixed-up, but I was only eight at the time.

When I was young it was called the Boys enclosure\ corner you had to be under 15 to get in, that was in the 50s/60s

I'm on about 1970-1973 period, it was just as small enclosure in the narrow corner of the Normanton end next to the C Stand.

If you look at old Ariel pictures of the BBG you can see the Normanton end is at an angle. The angle was one side of the baseball diamond with the batter hitting from in front of the boys end

Was the "Boys End" the original name for what I remember as the "Kid's Corner" (or formally "Children's Enclosure")?

I was at the game in the SW Upper and didn’t get the replays.

Fozzies alleged stamp drew no reaction from anybody apart from the player who was tackled who refused to get up until eventually the ball ended up with Samba and the ref was forced to stop the game to allow him to be treated. As everyone expected including the Forest fans and the ref the “injured” player was on his feet again in no time.  Nothing in this one. No foul.

I had a clear view of Worral’s hand ball and he should have walked leaving us with a pen for 2-0 and facing 10 men. Absolutely shocking decision. The linesman had a clear view too so why it wasn’t given is a mystery. It’s not up to the ref to think that applying the rules leaves one team in a virtually impossible position but that’s what I think he did.

Curtis right at the end was another shocking decision. These aren’t touch a go calls that we aren’t getting they are clear, unambiguous and easy.

 

I too was in the SWU. I honestly don't know why we bother with linesmen anymore?

The pillock near us just looked to see what the ref. gave for EVERY decision before he stuck up his flag.

I'd have liked to have stuck it up his arris.

Disappointing to lose basically by two lapses in concentration but big pluses to come out of tonight for sure

our highlights reel of avoidable goals last 2-3 seasons is simply endless

how many goals do we concede when were in control of the ball 10 seconds before its in our goal 

If it was an Olympic event we'd be perpetual gold medalists.

I heard from a reasonably reliable source yesterday that we have an incoming 3 point penalty.

Tell the EFL we gave ourselves that at Posh.

How do I print my forest ticket? So I've renewed and bought a forest ticket at the same time as season ticket on direct debit but I can't see where to get my forest ticket. 

Unless they are not out yet 

I got an email straightaway after paying from 'ticket.office@dcfc.co.uk' with the ticket attached as a pdf.

Check your spam folder.

Edit; I did select "print at home" as part of the booking process, (I think the other option was an e-ticket on your phone)?

One vivid recollection of that period as a 10 year old, was the woman who used to sell programs from the front window of a terraced house (walking towards the Normanton End). She had the loudest voice I've ever heard - "PROGRAMS"

It's an absolute travesty that it was not even listed for GOTM.

Apparently their Goal Keepers "magic hands" were left in the cghanging room again. LOL

Its worth a gander at the highlights from last night just to see Samba auditioning for Superman before the winner went in.
