Re: Nottingham Forest tweet
I know it's been mentioned on here a few times but I don't see why football couldn't take a leaf out of how TMO reviews take place in rugby. There's a clear conversation between the ref, the TMO operator AND (quite often) the linesmen. They clearly go through a well-defined process and come to an ag...

Re: Everton tomorrow
Sheff U will either be down or relegated on the day they play Forest. Either way, they'll play with freedom (if already relegated) or fight like he'll to show some grit even when going down. I think they could well take a point or all 3 against Forest. It could well be that we may only need 5 points...

I can't remember any detail about the game other than it was 2-2 and Taffy got both our goals. In my head they were great goals, too....maybe CT with his razor-sharp ...
