Carl Sagan Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I noticed Bovril wasn't on the list of MM's free half-time drinks. Perhaps this is the reason why: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3353143/Nottingham-Forest-s-FA-Cup-triumph-1898-commemorated-comic-strip-form-Bovril-Brigade-returns-50-years-away.html?ITO=1490&ns_mchannel=rss&ns_campaign=1490 Gypsy curse or not, I expect no one in Derby will be buying it anymore if this is how the "celebrate" their 130th year. Perhaps the 18989 half-time Bovril was actually doping (after all they put cocaine in coca cola back in the day) so the trophy should be withdrawn and awarded to the Rams instead? After all, something was definitely up considering we beat them 5-0 in the league the week before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we recreate a bit of Pesch history. Mostly off topic - you remember when Darren Bent scored that goal for Sunderland that bounced off the beach ball, and we subsequently found out that it should have been disallowed? According to a strict interpretation of the rules, should the ref have blown up when the ball deviated off the coffee cup and before Pesky scored?

Same here (and after reading your comment I'm sure I looked to check). But it's there on the anouncement now, which makes me think the flat cappers have been up in arms and persuaded the club to add a concentrated beef extract drink to the freebie package.

Wolfie Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Bovril is great but with toast and butter as opposed to with hot water. As you were....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
