North East Ram Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Five years ? We were on the brink of (Derby style) greatness. And this was the most enjoyable stepping stone so far. Im a greedy bugger and being 5 up with 25 mins to go, I wish we’d got 6. You get brackets on bbc for 6 (six) ? and the ubiquitous ‘six of the best’ and ‘six appeal’ headlines. They’d never live that down. I’m sure someone could manipulate the horrid forest word ‘o’ into a big shiny 6 too. f6rest. Instead we’ve got 5orest, for5st, fore5t etc ho ho 5 (five) though eh?! Nice. Right, back to work..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 After all this time... and the countless times I've watched this version since... I still get goosebumps at 1:05. for some weird reason! ... I think I always let out a little wee, too! I have this time, anyway! And re JR's goal... I'm still convinced to this day that in the split second between lift-back and contact with the ball, had I had an online bookies account, I'd now be a millionaire*... That was never, ever going to miss! (I was in the NE corner, looking straight at him!) *Not that I go on my mobile whilst the game is on, you understand!! Perish the thought!! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just thinking the same thing about the goosebumps. Obviously it’s forest but there’s something amazing about that video / game. It’s seeing a TEAM playing to the collective potential of 11 players. They’re confident, efficient, stylish, happy, have a rapport together / with the manager / with the fans. The commentary helps too. Deforestation indeed. Even Rammers quiet ‘go on son’ for Hendrick and little snigger for a later goal. Full house. Noisy crowd. People rave about Wolves and Leeds but that team were flippin good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dogs have a good sense of ironic humour I suppose. Imagine criticising the chairmanship and management of another club! My dog mates are fed up with the (my sources said) human trafficking / drug dealing / match fixing Tony Ferrino wannabe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 This and the wolves thrashing were my personal highlights of that little era...half my extended family are wolves fans(insufferable at the minute) and most of the rest are red dogs (being an ilson lad,that's the way it went). I'd pay double to watch that team in its pomp again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Two passes which come readily to mind - Bamfords' to Hendrick and Will Hughes to Bent away to Wolves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AshfieldRam Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The atmosphere for this game and then the Brighton play off game are ones that i don't think i'll ever forget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeytennis12345 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I had my usual £1 bet before the game and put it on us winning 5-0 at 100-1. My mates all had a bloody good laugh at the time, but were more than happy to help me spend my winnings at the bar afterwards ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, build your team around getting a contribution from as many players as possible and if that isn't working pop someone like Bamford on with the ability to grab something out of nothing. It's what was working so effectively the following season (with a slightly less cavalier approach and Ibe in place of Bamford) too.. It's just such a shame McClaren went and bloody abandoned that principle, pretty much reversed it, with the signings of Ince & Bent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I struggle to watch it as it saddens me how truly poo we are now in comparison, I sound like a miserable twit I know but we were miles better then than the turgid and ineffective football we play now. Even though Hughes wasn't playing, he was a key part of our possession game and Rowett should have been thrown in Alcatraz for selling him for 7million . I think we need a focal point to our attack like we had with Martin if we want to play that sort of football and Marriott and Waghorn are not technically gifted enough or good enough at holding the ball up to do it, we need either a new Martin or shift away from 433 in the summer.
