    Tony Mowbray

    Mowbray has winged because his neck is in the block. Six minutes was correctly added on and incidents such as pitch invader, cramp & time wasting etc happened during the added on time.

    I was there when.....

    Ground was different then with that small stand which I was in thankfully opposite the Maine Stand. Hordes of people standing either side because the wall had come down, I remember the next game v Manchester United had 44000 in seemed a lot less than the Sunderland one.

    Ronnie Rees Birthday

    Don’t think he was in the first team at all Hill with the £30k gift from chairman Derrick Robbins signed his five forwards Humphries, Barr, Bly, Whitehouse and left winger Bobby Laverick, plus full back John Sillett, but Laverick was poor and soon dropped and in came this kid Ronnie Rees who...

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    Also our little reputation that’s growing has probably influenced our reduction in away tickets.

    Are we getting a name for ourselves off the pitch?

    Trouble with these idiots is innocent youngsters especially, going to games can become fair game for a dig from opposition knuckle draggers.

    Tough game, if we don’t I hope Forest go up think they will be very tough opposition next season.

    Match Thread U23 v Charlton (a)

    I think it’s tough for the U/23s, team can be very different from game to game, some older first team at times then some as young as 18 even 16.

    Jonny Ngandu is a very good player and is/was a real prospect. He has got back into the team after injury issues and is again part of our successful reserve team, I’m hoping he gets a game or two in the run up to the seasons.

    Ronnie Rees Birthday

    Great player. JH finding him in our reserves was a massive stroke of luck. He just fitted in to Hill’s way of playing and terrorised full backs in the third, second and first division.

    And that’s the way to go, going to be a load available, some good loans too. And that makes these talks of £5 million plus fees for our players fanciful imo.

    Tony Mowbray

    Six minutes added yesterday was about right but in those six minutes a lot of things happened, the moronic pitch invader, an epidemic of Rovers players going down with cramp, a substitution, all eats time.

    Who’s going to pay that sort of money for any of them ?

    Tony Mowbray

    The one thing the referee got correct was the 6 minutes added the second half, two goal celebrations, a substitution number of yellow cards and injuries etc. but then as the 6 minutes we had the idiot running on game held up for perhaps a couple of minutes, a substitution and and epidemic of...
