Last night, a woman behind me came over pre kick off and said 'I've just captured a video of you and your son. Can I send it to you?'
I gave her my email and I think it might just be my favourite video ever.

@CityGroundShelf And through it all,
we’ll play the way we want to,
with Big Ange Postecoglou,
whether we’re right or wrong.
It’s Big Ange Ball,
Garibaldi reds with you,
Europa dreams may come true,
in Istanbul, year 1 not 2…
I’m loving Big Ange instead.

Dear @TalkCPFC & @HLTCO - #NFFC fan here coming to you in peace.
I, like many other Forest fans were made up for #CPFC winning the Cup and doing a number on one of the so called ‘big 6’ who seem to operate under different rules to the rest of us.
In the same way you can’t control who invests money and holds shares in your club and when they read their emails, I/we (Forest fans collectively) similarly can’t control who our ownership decides to do transfer dealings with, or who they choose to write letters to and about what.
So us all being at loggerheads is pointless.
IF it transpires after your CAS appeal that, (as it currently appears is the case), Parish & Co dropped the ball on this MCO rules situation, and that prevents you guys from being permitted to play in the Europa League, then that is genuinely unfortunate for all associated with your club.
For what it’s worth, the rules seem somewhat farcical in that by the time the Europa League kicks off in earnest, as I understand it, Textor won’t be involved with either Palace or Lyon, so we ABSOLUTELY get your frustrations in that regard.
I think almost all of us would agree that gaining entry to elite competitions should be based on sporting merit rather than administrative upkeep.
However, as we all know (particularly at Forest from our own recent experiences), football is, unfortunately, no longer as simple as that.
What I think narks us a little bit is that we (not as fans) but as a club seem to be being used as a scapegoat by your Chairman for his/his ownership group’s administrative failings.
Say what you like about our owner (he has pretty thick skin by all accounts so I’m sure he’ll not mind too much), but the steps he took regarding his shares in Forest and the blind trust business and when he did or didn’t do it, was absolutely nothing to do with Palace and their participation (or not) in any competition.
It is widely known that extensions could be sought on this arbitrary March 1st deadline for making the necessary arrangements to comply with MCO rules. He chose to do that, Parish didn’t.
To suggest you/Parish ‘broke the rules’ and we didn’t is I think unfair and inaccurate. It’s obvious that Palace have not deliberately sought to gain any advantage from their lack of action.
The simple truth is that Parish & Co fell asleep at the wheel and have seemingly veered off the road to Europa as a result.
We, by chance, just happened to be in the car behind you. That is all.
Wishing you all the very best for the season ahead. Whichever European competition you end up in.
I know for certain that we’ll have a ball regardless!
@CityGroundShelf Shef United at home bigger IMO, dread to think where we might be now if we’d have lost that semi. Just look at our neighbours down the road almost back in League one for a 2nd time since losing their play off game against Villa in 2019
9/10.
Forget what 20 year old influencers tell you with their " we should be, we've bottled it, Nuno's subs " bollocks, none and I mean none of them understand the demands of a season, nevermind a run in in what is the world's toughest last 8 games in any sport.
A 20 goal striker ( good luck Woody, hope he gets 23), a style of play that deliberately found tactical weakness in most of the division, rapid counter attacking pace and overall very good recruitment alongside European qualification is what it is, exceptional. The fact that any Forest supporter looks at a glass half empty when this season will only fill the glass in seasons to come probably shows how many have been used to tier 2 or 3 mentality alongside playing too much FIFA rather than looking at cold, hard, facts.
A great season, the end. And if anyone tells you otherwise, point them my way.
Because I know the expectation in reality at that club.
@NFFC Poor performance, but last time we lost 2 on the spin we went on to take 10 points from a possible 12 - hopefully the same reaction after today👍🏼
@IAmtheRedeemer@NFFCYorkshire@NFFCServices@NFFC@EmiratesFACup Comes down to money put into the club, those that have put hundreds of pounds into the club for league games & a membership, have shown more loyalty IMO than those that have paid £30 for 1 FA cup game
@IAmtheRedeemer@NFFCServices@NFFC@EmiratesFACup Pay £900 for my season ticket mate, tend to miss FA cup games as it gives non-season ticket holders a chance to go to games. Think those that have forked out hundreds for league games this season + a membership still deserve priority over those that have been to 1 FA cup game👍🏼
