How's your footy team doing?

Hello have'nt been on here for a long time, no longer live in Nottingham, lived in our caravan for 14 months, now live in an annexe at my daughter's house in Burton upon Trent.
Still have season tickets for Nottingham Forest, and once again have a new management team, this time I am highly delighted, that Martin O'Neill and Roy Keane are in the dugout. Just having a slight problem with referees, have lost points in last few matches due to refs being conned by cheats, its time teams were docked points, too much of it going on now, what with rolling around on the floor like theyve been shot, then jumping up when opposing player booked. Its been creeping into the game in recent years and is getting worse

100 % behind you there, Pauline { Excepting only your choice of team to follow of course
}I've said before & say it again, I hate & detest cheats & supporters of cheats. One of my pet hates is the Foolish Commentator who says such idiotic things as " He took one for the Team " and " He had to do it or they would have scored "
The future hangs on the introduction next season of V A R . I'm aware of problems it has had, but if they can get it running properly & QUICKLY, then a lot of cheats could be out of the game. Well who wants to select a player, no matter who or how good he might be, who will likely be off the park after 60 / 70 minutes & picks up suspensions for getting booked regularly.
Glad you're enjoying Life in Beer Town
Keep cheering up us in the Lower Leagues ( !

I'm with you as well Pauline. That was as clear a dive by Gayle as you will ever see. The irony is that the referee who was well and truly conned was the same clown who gave us a penalty at Cardiff for as clear a foul as you will ever see and then had his mind changed by the linesman who had a worse view than the ref.
I know I go on a bit about the poor officiating we've had this season but it has been really bad.
Some of the cheating I've seen this season has been shameful. Players going to ground every time they feel someone breath on them to get free kicks not just penalties and referees are fooled time and time again.
Rant over enjoy the games this weekend whoever you support.

Not the best of games at Wemberleee on Sunday, in fact, pretty boring.....
But, a trophy won, so not complaining!
And 3 good points for Town, tonight, Papgeno!

I've only one word to describe that performance yesterday, "abject". The sooner this season is over and done with the better.
Its difficult to see where any more points are going to come from but at least we have beaten Detby County's record low total 😀

4 English teams through to the last 8 of the Champions' League!
Is this the 1st time? No doubt some younger family members will keep me informed....
Good luck to Spurs, 'Pool, Utd and City, fingers crossed for easy draws for us all on Friday......🤔

Certainly did, totally outclassed at Anfield, and lost the home leg too 😱😱😱.
So it's Spurs this time. I was hoping (yet again) for somewhere warm with cheap drinks, but at least we can take the 'van and stay at Denham for a short break. Spurs should be playing at their new ground by then, but who knows.....?

What a weird day !!
Poor old Crewe 1 == 0 down to a penalty after 13 mins.
I was down-loading and printing my mates Park Run results and checked latest score before I popped 'em in his letterbox and they were 2 -- 1 up. Texted a quick giggle, popped his results in and by the time I was back on here 4 == 1.
First look after half time and The Alex had bunged in their 5th after 47 mins == really must nip out & get another lottery ticket
ooo 'eck now its 6 -- 1 with 7 mins to go == can they hold on 
??## Happy days are here again ##

An even weirder day! Town 1-0 down to a penalty, 1-1 a couple of minutes later go in at half time 2-1 up. Unbelievable Jeff!
What's going on 3-1 up with 15 minutes to go we haven't scored three all season. Surely they can hold on for a win. Can they heck as like managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory lost 4-3.😤😭
Still Leicester up next and on my birthday is it too much to ask for win? It would be a cracking birthday present.

I KNEW I should have got another Lottery ticket with this run of luck,
. I didn't bother and on checking my usual ticket I found I'd got a free-entry for next Saturday .P.S. / Edit
Rog I thought your next was against the mighty Crystal Palace or are you rejecting them as also-rans

You're right Brian.I was referring to our next home match. I'm not holding any great hope for the Palace match. We won the first match of last season there but have lost twice there since, once in the League cup and last season in the greedy league.
Although things are pretty dire on the grass it's a different story off the field. The Town Foundation opened their 39th breakfast club this week and as part of their inclusivity initiative some of the players were learning sign language from some school children with hearing problems.Last week the club captain and a couple of other players went to a meeting of the HTFC Disabled Supporters club. Makes you proud to support them.

The Where
??Saw the Mighty Alex On Quest tv channel last night, could not bring myself to watch again this morning -- I'm not THAT much of a masochist ! But they should be safe enough, now, to perhaps give another couple of young Academicians a taste of 'Real Football'
Best wishes to all other fans on here -- Yourself Roger, Pauline Moulesy and those I cannot remember Like Young Pliers

16:50 and Crewe are shewing their charitable nature now
1 : 0 up and slithered smoothly to 1 : 3 Down
They really should have checked that tomorrow is MOTHERING SUNDAY -- so it's MOTHERS who should receive the gifts & choccies not bloomin' Cheltenham

Well that's us relegated and with 6 games to go, how embarrassing 😡
But here's a story to warm your cockles. Last summer a six year old girl in the USA was undergoing chemotherapy for a brain tumour and feeling poorly, was watching the World Cup on TV with her dad. She was really upset that she had lost her hair but perked up when she saw a player in the Australian team who also had no hair. Her parents did some digging and discovered that the player was Aaron Mooy who was playing for Huddersfield Town in the Premier League.
They bought her the full kit ( they call it the uniform) and bought the FIFA video game so she could watch her inspiration some more.
To cut a long story short when they heard about it, the club and Aaron decided they would like to do something special for her so they arranged for Bella ( that's her name) and her dad to fly over from Texas for the Leicester match next week and be VIP guests of the club.

Wonderful to hear Roger.
It's great that footy clubs, and individual players too, are getting much more involved in such things. Rather like Craig Bellamy whose reputation is not without some stains, BUT he has helped raise millions of pounds for charity & even started a football academy in Sierra Leone. Some grumpy old men on here can get quite emotional at times
