Match Thread | Notts Forest vs. Manchester City (27/12/25)

[Betterdeedthan red]

Can't think of a worse team to play on boxing day than a Sean Dyche one.

Was really looking forward to a good game, but you just get physical challenges the referee lets go, 10 men behind the ball and they counter attack once every 10 mins.

What about the day after boxing day

 

[waspish]

Decent is a yellow

 

[heslops barnet]

**** falls over there

 

[jollylescott]

Another long ball. Another free kick

 

[wolviedinho]

Why

Well 24/25 I suppose depending on location.

 

[super_city_si]

Out CBs are shit against any striker who shows a bit of physicality

This guy isn’t even that big

 

[platty7]

This ref is a joke

 

[pennblue]

This ref is giving them everything. Falling over in a stiff breeze results in a free kick

 

[MCFC1993]

He keeps running into the defender first, what the fuck is the ref doing

 

[Gazza]

What's the free kick count 21 - 1?

 

[pudge]

Getting bullied by a midget

 

[IcriedwhenTueartleft]

That Jesus lad is a cheating scumbag, Jones falling for it every time

 

[skillman]

Fuck me ref. Get a grip of the game. Letting their fans control every tackle

 

[Don Karleone]

Forest fans reffing the game

 

[Ajm1985]

How the fuck is that a yellow

 

[Blu1]

Haaland would get none of these.

We would need to pass to him first sadly

 

[dubblue]

We desperately need a truly powerful centre half.

It’s our biggest weakness.

 

[stan bowles]

Not sure pal, he commentates on his preference far to much, good hard tackle, long balls etc, he’s a little thick

Really ? You prefer cliche-obsessed, non achiever McCoist over Hart ? Fair enough.

 

[platty7]

Earling gets none of those as fouls

 

[Sebi]

Very phsyical, Forest defend very well, but we need to pass the ball faster, too slow in some situations.
