Liverpool - Nottingham Forest

[DR Forest]

Please to God let us WIN at that place! Never happened in my life time!! Still remember being 2-0 up there and the scum getting a 2-2 draw. Technically we won the European Cup tie there as it was 0-0 meaning we went through and the European champions were knocked out in the first round!

I think you’ll find we were the European champions they qualified by winning the league, we had finished 2nd

I think you will find you are wrong Dach.

Forest were the league champions and Liverpool were the European Cup holders. September 13 1978 at the City Ground where we won 2-0 to the Scouse. The players were all looking forwards to their first foray in Europe and we got drawn against the scouse instead. Watch I Believe in Miracles.

A bit dodgy in Stanley Park that night eh Tricky (the second game at Anfield).

But like the players on the pitch we fought like Lions.

Sadly Sniff I couldnt get to the away game due to work not letting me have the time off to go.

I was at the City Ground though and we fought like lions all along Arkwright street too

You lot have made me feel young again!
I was at the CG game but was a mere youngster of 13 in the bridgford end.
My cousin may well have been with you guys though!


However, my hatred of the Scouse relates to two other reasons though-
Firstly, getting us banned from Europe just at the time cloughie had rebuilt another decent team in the mid 80’s (historically, probably a massive game changer for a provincial club like us and from which we are only now starting to recover); and secondly for Hillsborough where those innocent tragically died but also where I saw behaviour we aren’t allowed to repeat now the narrative has been changed after 30 years of whining.

But let’s no disappear down that rabbit hole or my newly found youthful joy will be lost again!
