Nottingham Forest 0 Liverpool 1 (Mar 2 2024)

    matchreportheader.jpg

     

And we thought last week was dramatic. This team, fucking hell. It wasn’t a good performance, the lads just didn’t have it but they dug deep and found a way. That’s what Champions do. It’s hard not to draw parallels with the Villa game in the title winning season, but it’s too early to know if it will have the same significance. Teams who win titles usually have moments like this one that they look back on as being pivotal though. Hopefully this is ours.

 

For so long it was looking like it wasn’t going to happen, yet because of the faith I have in these players I wasn’t panicking and even going into stoppage time I thought we’d win. It wasn’t until around 95 minutes or so that I gave up and had resigned myself to us ending the weekend in 3rd spot. It’s ironic that the moment I had given up was the moment that Forest are kicking off about and saying it decided the game.

 

May as well get all that out of the way first. The game was in the balance and Forest looked just as likely to get a winner as we did in extra time. They had carried a threat on the counter attack all day and the more we pushed forward looking for the winner, the more space we left for them. They had the ball in our final third and time was running out. It was around the time they had that corner that I lost hope. In fact, it was the moment when play was stopped for the Konate head injury.

 

Forest had already been wasting time (more on that in a bit) and Hudson-Odoi had been in possession when play stopped. I expected a brief delay while Ibou was sorted and then I assumed Forest would keep it in the corner and that would be that. The stream I was watching on buffered at that point and when it came back on we had the ball in the Forest half. So I didn’t know what had happened there until afterwards. Then a minute or so later we scored and all hell broke loose.

 

On the final whistle the Forest staff were going mad (their assistant manager was red carded) and even the owner was on the pitch kicking off. The big fat fuck even waddled down the tunnel chasing after Paul Tierney. Imagine John Henry doing that shit. Add some more points to their impending deduction, the crying pricks. The commentators explained that they were furious that they didn’t get the ball back after Ibou’s head injury and at that moment I could understand why they’d be pissed off. I would be too. It made no sense why Tierney gave us the ball back, and even know I’m still not entirely what should have happened. I do know that Tierney had done virtually the same thing at the other end though.

The Macca into Nunez loft happened x 3 times. Once was over hit; the second Nunez got his head on and went past the post and the third well; doesnt need any introductions. 

 

I think thats something thats been worked on during training

 

When Gomez won that corner my emotions were sky high. I just laid back on the sofa; hands on my head; just saying over and over again "please" quietly under my breath. 

When Nunez scored; I was unsure if it was emotions but certainly VAR but I didnt celebrate. I just looked at my mrs; with tears in my eyes saying "tell me now theres a VAR Check; theyre gonna say its offside arent they; Paint the lines now please; dont tell me its offside"

 

But the cameras didnt pan away from our lads celebrating. I couldnt. I kept thinking that it was all a joke and the lines were about to be drawn. It felt like an age before they replayed the goal and I could see there was no offside. 

Problem was- The goal was scored by that point- How can you celebrate after knowing its a goal? It was just relief then. 

 

Another 20 odd games of this..... Not sure I can do it. 

 

IMAGINE BEING US!!!

I celebrated for at least a minute, saw the away end from several interesting angles before realising the VAR gate was still be cleared. Another minute before we kicked off and I relaxed, helping the woman a couple of seats away to recover her glasses. 
 

I hate VAR

I don’t remember any of these cunts kicking up a fuss in the empty stadium era when Tierney blew for half time 20 seconds before the end of the MINIMUM  added on time… with Mane chasing down a possible one on one vs de Gea. Now THAT was dodgy. There always has to be some contrived narrative or confected controversy around us, doesn’t there? Fuck everyone who isn’t us.

Celebrated and didn’t give VAR a second thought. I was convinced it was all good.

 

Pity the write-up doesn’t deal with that bellend Yates and the shite he’s come out with today.

Forest have a nerve to be omplaining about officiating. The only reason they're in the PL is that Mike Riley gave his mate, fat, useless Jon Moss the play-off final as a retirement present. Moss denied Huddersfield two penalties, one an absolute stonewaller and Forest scraped a 1-0 win. I don't understand the view that Forest are a 'big team'; they had a good spell under Clough but otherwise it's a story of consistent mediocrity with the exception of one FA cup win when they triumphed over mighty Luton.

I'm glad you called Yates out. He's a championship level clogger at best. It says something for Forest's recruitment that despite all the players they've brought in, he's still getting a game. You should also add him to your list of those with punchable faces. It winds me up just looking at him.

Fucking scab bastards.

 

Given the shite are not going down I really hope these pricks take the final relegation place and spend another 20 years plus down.

Let them moan and debate and complain. It’s a dangerous high kick all day long on Konate and Kelleher (the chest high boot) and any goal scored SHOULD/would have been ruled out when spotted by  a VAR check.

 

HIGH KICK – A violation on a player who swings his or her foot close to and above the waist of an opposing player. This foul generally results in a direct kick.

I dont know if I was being naive but when I watched Match of the Day I had expected a bit of balance regarding their analysis of the drop ball incident. But it was an actual disgrace as Dave also said. No talk of the high foot on Konate, no talk of the similar drop ball incident which went against Liverpool in the first half. No talk of how Forest had enough chances to defend properly in the lead up to the goal.

 

Rather we are all expected to believe that Forest would definitely have held on for a point or won the game if the drop ball had gone their way. Who says we wont have nicked the ball off them and still scored anyway? Hysterical cunts, all of them. Fuck them.

Haven't watched MOTD for years (last time was about a year ago after the 7-0 and there where no pundits).  Far too much agenda on their these days & Jenas was a prick in this instance.

Highlights can be found very easily on line post game & we have @Caramac who kindly posts clips of goals and action during the game if you're following here.

Given that they subtitled the start of their analysis with 'Kloppage time', I kind of guessed what was coming.

Antonio at it now, the gobshite. He said if he’d been on the pitch he’d have been livid. He can’t even get on the pitch for West Ham.

It was a fucking drop ball! Jesus, you'd think Tierney volleyed one into the top corner for the winning goal the way they're still bleating on. Did Antonio mention Konate getting kicked in the head? Bet he didn't.
