Nottingham Forest (N) | FA Cup | Post Match Thread

[David White]

Very good, professional, positive performance sprinkled with a moment or two of casual play. Great performances from Bernardo, Lewis and O’Reilly especially.

Decent enough atmosphere in our end, all is well and another good day out. Back again in 3 weeks.

They were gassed last 15, we made them run all day on that big pitch.
Few sloppy passes aside, for long periods it was like a training match.

Is that the big pitch that's smaller than Forest's pitch and the same size as City's?

interesting to hear what you guys think, i didnt think the handball before our goal was a penalty and i'd be pissed if that was given against us, but it seems like most people think it was

The guy had his hands low and behind his back - but the ball was going into the net and therefore definitely penalty

My argument is that you put your hands behind your back when facing the ball, if you then turn sideways and stop a certain shot on target then it should be pen. If I stood in the wall of a freekick sideways with my hands behind my back they would give it surely.

Did I read somewhere that today was our thirtieth game in Brent since we were founded 17 years ago? Not sure if that includes the couple of league games against Spurs that were played there. Of course, number 31 is on the horizon. And if we fluke the FA Cup, number 32 will be coming in August in the Community Shield. It's a crazy stat.

Correct, today was our 30th at new Wembley.
14 FA Cup (9 semis and 5 finals) - Edited: should be 15, 10 semis and 5 finals so far.
6 League Cup
8 Charity Shields - Edited should be 7 for shields. It would have been 9 but two were moved.
2 PL v Spuds

Two of the semis were during Covid with no fans and the 2021 League Cup v Spurs only had 4,000 fans from each team. - I was lucky enough to be there.

Does that actually matter, according to the laws of the game?

 

[East Level 2]

Bloody great. Paid for tickets and travel today, got to sort out ST renewal and now I've got to pay for tickets and travel to the final. I can't even say "sort it out Pep" as it's his bloody fault.

 

[steviemc]

I know Pep is big on the whole 'if you have the ball they can't score'. But they can't score if you boot the cunting ball into their shitting half either. Whereas if you fanny about in the box and lose it, they Can score.

...erm...erm...but they didn't. Isn't that what counts???? Most 'can' score but if they don't they don't. Nobody missing the treble 20, or the black for a 147 rewrote physics or were even remembered fondly buddy. Relax, take a deep breath...and enjoy. It'll do you and your health the world of good.

7 Charity Shields, I think. I've counted nine in total but one was at Villa Park and one at King Power.

 

[makinghistory]

Good tempo. Forest never really in it. Big shout out to Nico and Kovo although thought they all earnt there wages today. Dont get Savvy. He never produces anything.

You're right. It should be 15 FA Cup; 10 semis and 5 finals (soon to be 6).

 

[steviemc]

Been playing cricket all day then went for a few pints. How did we play?

Took a couple of wickets and then went for tea.

It was a blatant penalty, there’s nothing natural about that backhand save.

 

[wythenshaweblue£££]

Maybe I was just lucky then, loads in the restaurant, and on the train I caught, all fine.

You was lucky I seen more trouble today then when we played Villa.

Might get him a big move to Celtic, over in Boston

 

[eyalluvitt]

When your in your late 50s and get past a big semi

 

[WestGorton]

I didn't see anything but came in from Wembley Central Side rather than Wembley Way.

 

[stonerblue]

Forest can tell themselves they were unlucky but they were totally outclassed today. Nearly robbed us with that joke of a penalty decision, how the fuck is that not handball?

Bent

 

[lasereyes]

Fuck um, they’ve had a good time, but will end up with as expected, fuck all, and finish mid table or lower next season no doubt.

They will get at least Europa

 

[lasereyes]

Not sure we look a better team, nor am I sure of the statistical comparison, if we rest him it's for easier matches.
Best I've seen us this season was against Newcastle where he created a lot of room that Marmoush benefitted from.
We looked utterly toothless against Real, Liverpool and Scum when he didn't play.
Our recent better form has been due in large part due to a settled back line and O'Reilly's introduction IMO, I reckon Haaland would make us look more potent.

We were also very good against Palace after the first 25 mins
