Opposition Fans Comments

[zicorice]

I think it's pretty obvious where the best part of the last lot of posters were last night.............at the City Ground.

Some very decent comments, unlike the earlier batches that were made by the TV at home brigade.

Some nice complimentary comments in the last batch

Imagine them.......

[Salvatore Matrecano]

Some good comments in there. Fans have very short memories though… they are a modern success story which is great but absolutely no history other than a cup final.

I think you're wrong there Ozz. You've forgotten who managed them in 73/4! Christ that's 50 years ago now.

They finished 19th in Division 3 that year Cisco. They won only once in his first 10 games in charge.
Reckon today’s entitled fans would put up with that sort of record? Me neither.

Thanks Ozz. I was being tongue in cheek sorry. BC's 6 months there were far far from successful. Seem to remember they got beat 7 something at home. He was desperate to get away. But still Brighton could claim some history from loaning the greatest English manager!

[Albion] Forest fans - take a bow

This may have been covered elsewhere but I think it deserves it's own thread.

How great were the Forest fans. Genuinely think that second half was the loudest I have heard a home crowd since we got back in the Premier League. Could be the difference between them staying up over their rivals in Leicester, Leeds and Everton. Impressively strong support which definitely gave their players the extra energy they needed to overcome us.

I really hope they stay up ahead of Leeds who by comparison did not make Elland Road the cauldron it has the potential to be.

They were terrific and at times deafening, they really backed their team in their hour of need.

Some really good interactions with Forest fans on twitter last night and today. Very appreciative of how we took defeat well acknowledging that Forest deserved to win. A lot of praise for our passing (when it wasn't going astray) and general style of play also.

Really hope they stay up, I'd hate for Leeds and Everton to be just be battling for one spot when they could both go down

They certainly sounded loud and proud on TV. Probably not the easiest atmosphere to play in if you're an opposing player, and it must have given all the Forest players a boost. I guess you'd expect it to be noisy, given they've been away from the Premier League for so long and are now fighting tooth and nail to stay there.

It was so loud, we were 15 rows back right behind the goal, at times I honestly Thought their noise was being augmented by simultaneous microphone and projection. It was incredible. Fair play to them for that. Fair play.

Yep ... I sent out a tweet when I got on the coach. My notifications haven't stopped! Loads of interactions with Forest fans ... everyone of them 100% positive about our club. I've now had 78.k views ... 1,876 likes and 114 retweets!! I'm not really active on twitter and only just opened a second twitter account purely for football to keep it separate from other personal stuff ... so this blew my mind!

There’s a lot to be said for these older football stadia and their stand roofs that angle the sound back down into the stand. It is easier to get singing in unison when each part of the stand can hear what the other are singing.

The proximity to the roof of the North Stand seats is a big problem. Most of the noise is lost. The West Upper is much closer to the roof and would be a better place to lead the singing from.

I met an old (Forest) pal before the game, messaged him this morning and said they were the loudest home fans I’d heard in ages. He said it’s the loudest he’s heard it for years there too (he’s a lifetime STH). They were pretty impressiv….also some mostly good natured back and forth, particularly when there was that long injury break.

At times an absolute wall of noise with the whole stadium singing in unison - very, very impressive.
They do l like a good 70’s / 80’s songbook though - stems from their glory years I guess.
Standout was their version of ‘Mull of Kintyre’ sung at the start of each half.

Outstanding support.

Loudest I’ve heard since the Derby play-off game under Garcia.

I remember them at the Amex too in October(the drab 0-0), they made a racket then too despite hardly getting out their half for 90 minutes. Good crowd they are

Second half I really did think WOW, so loud. I wish we could replicate that at the Amex.

Forest fans are a decent bunch and get behind their team well, unlike Leicester who have 2,000 free flags and never make a sound

Always remember after Ulloa goal got us in the play offs - loads of locals walking along the River Trent saying well done now stuff Derby in the play offs

I've been to a few Forest matches over the last few years with a friend.
I don't think it was quite as loud (relatively speaking) as when you were telling Hughton he was getting sacked in the morning against Wolves.



I think he somehow got another game after that match. Maybe your owner sacked somebody else in the meantime to get it out of his system.
Good luck for the rest of the season. There's plenty of other sides I'd much rather see go down.

In response to a Forest Supporter on their Forum........
In your last sentence, you’ve used the word I was going to use to describe my thoughts about yesterday … in addition to all the stuff about how loud you were … tradition … and I’ll also throw in history. Was interesting watching some of the clips on your screens … with a certain Mr Clough featuring … in particular your two European Cups. That’s the original and best European Cup … not the money spinning Champions League!! I’m old enough to remember watching both of those finals … in particular the Trevor Francis goal. What a period that was for Forest.

Anyway, I’m sure we’ll be able to do it again next year. Hopefully a 3pm kick off on a Saturday … another good old tradition that we don’t see enough of with our games these days.

Always a decent bunch Forest fans. Very likeable club. Great fans down at the Amex this season - very friendly. Didn't go last night but it sounded very loud second half after pretty quiet first. I think the crowd sensed we were knackered and there for the taking and they were obviously absolutely desperate for a win which I'm sure helped the atmosphere build second half. Cracking old ground too though which obviously helps with atmosphere.

Really hope they stay up. Most likeable club out of those down the bottom - especially compared to Leeds of course who I hope end up rock bottom

[Tricky]

I didn't go to the game, but saw a brilliant clip on Twitter showing a classy response from the Brighton fans.............

Our fans were singing 'Champions of Europe, you'll never sing that', to which the Brighton fans came straight back with 'Champions of Sussex, you'll never sing that!'

Brilliant!!!

Always enjoy posts on this thread.......anyone have any comments from either Southampton or Chelsea Fans?

Trying to get this started again - always enjoy this thread - especially when we win!!!

[McDurban]

We need to score 3 goals today to win.  Be prepared for the normal low block and explosive counter attack against us.  Really tough game, but a good measure of our progress and mentality.  Can't recall the last time we won back-to-back league and/or home games, so something to aim for.  My brain says 1-1, but I'm going with my heart today 2-1 Chelsea!  Goals from Jackson and Sterling. 
Also, you know when you're short of players when you have two GK subs!

Need to start with intensity. This Forrest side looks so poor but as we saw last season like 100 times, all we need to do is give them just that little bit of confidence and they'll threaten our goal. No poor passing. No stalling on the ball. 

Given what they did to United when they started poorly I agree. Doubt we would come back to win against them if we went 2 down.

has to be yellow for this blondie c**t Yates

I love the Chels and I do like to be optimistic but does anyone else feel that nearly all our games are a "potential banana skin"?

Enzo can’t really get into the game either and his touch is little off. Early days though 

Caicedo still not up to speed looks lost 

We need to start shooting. Making this too easy for a patient and resolute Forrest defense 

Started well, but it's becoming harder and harder for us to create anything.

Forest are creating more than us now. This is no different than last season, we dominate the early stages, can't score, then the opposition gain some belief.

Caicedo had been excellent 

Looks just like the garbage we produced last season

f**k this 3 at the back sh*t, I can’t take it anymore

Never ever seen a team spend so much money and look this crap and ordinary. I would have though it impossible but there it is in front of your eyes we again look one of the worst teams in the league. Beaten Luton don't count

they’score and we’d never get back in the game as manure

He were go, Caicedo with another dogsh*t mistake.
f**k this sh*t, it's the same as last season. 

This is going to be another long season, isn't it?

We’re such a poor club. It’s embarrassing how bad our decision making is. 
We gift goal after goal. This is game 5 and I don’t think I’ve yet seen Sanchez make a save 

It's obvious that poch is only here to get his huge payoff...this football is a f**king shambles and embarrassment!!

Holy sh*t. I'm putting a tenner on Super Frank back as caretaker manager by February 

Jackson would be phenomenal in my pub team

Probably the most embarrassing project in world football. 
£1b spent to completely change an entire squad, a squad which had won the champions league and finished 3rd within the last 12 months, and they have bought a load of kids that maybe can get us challenging again in about 5 years. 
If you complain then your ungrateful. 
Anyway we are stuck with this now, so bearing in mind this is a youth team, with 5 or 6 seniors, then I think expectations need to be seriously lowered. 
Team was wrong, as it has been for 3 games, awful start for Pochettino. Not really sure how he wants us to play. 
So much to be pissed off about with chelsea at the moment. 
With the squad we have, I'm expecting a rough couple of years while these players grow. Hopefully not too much damage is done in the meantime.

[McDurban]

They all seem pretty grounded and know they are up against it.
Not happy with the formation or how much money the club has spent on players.
Spurs doing well is irking them.

Thanks guys - made my evening and tops off one of the best weekends I can recall. Got to get a weekend off and spent it at home and my missus who didn't even mind me watching the last few minutes of game on her phone in the pub at 90+10.

Mind you - the rest of the pub (deepest Coventry City/Aston Villa/ BCFC Indian territory) all look a bit startled when I stood up, punched the air and said loudly "ureds"!

Here's to (I'm sure) more of the same..... providing we can show the same grit, determination and will to win.

COYR!

He's not wrong. The whole project is an utterly unnecessary exercise.
