Notts F v Sheff u

Iā€™d like to see Forest back on MOTD. And if not we get Josh!
 
Well played Forest, thoroughly enjoyed that.

As an ex resident of Nottingham I know how much it would mean to the people of the city and county to have top flight football back after such a long time. I watched a few games while living there, when we didn't have a game, and, although nowhere near being a two team w@nker, I did really enjoy my occasional visits to the City Ground. The Forest fans were what I'd call proper fans and I was always made welcome even though I would always state that I was an Oxford fan.

Hope they win the final, sorry Mr Ruffels!

Forest has always felt like a 'proper' club despite being out of the top flight for do long. Always enjoyed playing them during the 90's with Joey scoring 2 great goals in 97? 98? Remember chatting to several fans on the way out that day who were very complimentary and came across as real football fans.

Would love to see them back in the PL rather than a Huddersfield side that are pretty meaningless to me (Ruffels aside!)

Likewise - did my degree at Trent in the 80's and used to watch both Nottingham sides in the top flight including a number of games with a certain Mr Clough patrolling the touchline

Certainly hoping they do it on 29th

I was actually working there all last week which was a bit of a tour round some old haunts - great city great people
 
It was a brilliant game, only watched cos' my mate is a Forest fan. Love the city of Nottingham, I always try and arrange a stop over when Oxford a playing in the locale.

I know where you were drinking pre-match.
 
Billy Sharp


Also comment on changes to the application of football banning orders


The requirement that the court needs "reasonable grounds to believe [a FBO] would help to prevent violence or disorder" has gone.

It is replaced by: "The court must make [a FBO unless it] considers that there are particular circumstances relating to the offence or to the offender which would make it unjust... to do so."

s.14A FBOs now look punitive, not preventative, in intent as well as effect.
 
No place for people like that in football, yes there are incidents at a lot of matches before and after amongst both home and away fans, acceptable? No of course not, but to assault a player definitely not acceptable.
This will lead to a heavy fine for Nottingham Forest and their apologies are definitely warranted and meant.
Now there hopefully would be a response in a positive way to try and prevent this from ever happening again.
Definitely has to be a minimum jail time as the start of the punishment scale.
This is England not South America. When will people learn.

It's not a football issue, it's just assault.
 
Apparently Oli Macburnie stamping on a Notts Forest fan, hopefully it was the one that attacked his teammate. Seems to be some fisticuffs before from fans but who knows

Can I just ask what is the difference between a Sheffield United player ( kicking or stamping) on a person on the floor to what that thug done to Billy sharp surely they should both be facing punishment btw I don't condone what that thug did to sharp but you can clearly see he had a yellow top on the bloke on the floor has a red top on

One difference is likely to be context. Billy Sharpe was presenting no risk to anyone and wasn't even looking at the perpetrator. It is likely that the Sheffield United player had either been assaulted or feared assault and could have lawful used force to protect himself or others.

Without further evidence this is all speculation of course.

Surely there can't be a claim of lawfully used force if someone is on the floor and you walk up and either stamp or kick them
I dunno

I'm not condoning any of it but the fact is the pitch is the players work place and there is zero protection for the players when it comes to pitch invasions. Huddersfield v Luton game one of the Huddersfield fans slapped the Luton player round the back of the head too.

An organised pitch invasion 2 minutes after the final whistle where it allows the officials and opposition players to exit the field would stop all these incidents.
 
Maybe an agreement needs to be made that the ref takes the ball, players follow, then blows the FT whistle once all are down the tunnel?

As you say would need to know what happened before which with the editing we don't see.
