I'm not sure if the Duty Ed will allow me to post this, but here is where you can see my recently-published book for anyone who may be interested. It's a lot better than watching the world cup, I can assure you!
1.) 24 Jun 2026 21:42:26
It's a great read and an amazing story. Talk about triumph over incredible adversity. Wow! Someone should make a film about our Lego. Highly recommended. ??????
2.) 24 Jun 2026 22:39:59
Nice one Lego, I'll grab myself a copy. ??
3.) 25 Jun 2026 00:04:52
Well done, Lego, bud. Is it shorter than a Stokey post, or War and Peace? Nah, very well done. ?
4.) 25 Jun 2026 00:39:12
Ordered. It best not be Stokey style, or I'll be falling asleep on the bog a lot. ??
23 Jun 2026 23:27:41
Well, I made the effort and watched the game. I now wish that I hadn't. Boring, non-committal football. I'd love to see the stats comparing England's forward passing vs their backwards/sideways passing.
What a waste of an opportunity to showcase English talent.
1.) 24 Jun 2026 08:06:45
Just shows you there's not much talent to showcase in the first place, Lego. Pep has killed the game stone dead with the introduction of sideways, backwards & back to the goalie from the halfway line. I still haven't watched one second of it yet, and I'm pretty sure I won't.
Roll on August & proper football.
2.) 24 Jun 2026 08:47:52
How that wasn't a penalty is beyond me???
No VAR???
Think England got away with one there, lads, just my opinion.
3.) 24 Jun 2026 11:17:40
Balloons, I think you are spot on with the Pep comment. Too many managers trying to replicate his style. Back in the day, a side would throw another big man up top and go direct. Kane is six foot plus, Tony and Watkins also. Pickford has a pretty good long pass on him. Why that wasn't utilised is beyond me. Get players around a big man, looking for the second ball.
Gordon and Madueke have zero end product.
Both can't cross and pose little goal threat. I think that's glaringly obvious, and I wouldn't expect either to start big crunch games going ahead. As soon as Rashford and Saka came on, we became a goal threat again.
What I find worrying is Panama play a high-tempo pressing game, lots of energy. If we don't turn up for them, we'll be up ? creek without a paddle. ?
4.) 24 Jun 2026 14:04:36
Were England playing Nunoball then? What do you expect when a lot of Prem supporters put up with paying to watch that. ? ?
20 Jun 2026 20:11:59
Evening Reds. A long way off, but I should be there for the 5th September game against Spurs. I'm planning to be at the TBI around 1pm with McGovern and Stokey. It would be great to meet as many of you as possible there for a beer before the game.
1.) 20 Jun 2026 21:47:48
I got more chance of turning pink, growing a curly tail, trotters and wings. 5th is Mrs Winters' birthday. ??
2.) 20 Jun 2026 22:27:32
C'mon, Winter. Do it the Cornish way, mate. Give Mrs Winter a good birthday seeing-to first thing, then feed her a pasty for brunch. After that offer to take her to the Forest game, followed by a romantic dinner after the game.
She'll be so mellow that she'll refuse the game and agree to dinner with you at 7.30pm, once she's 'recovered'.
Job done, mate.
3.) 20 Jun 2026 22:40:16
Nah she deserves better than a day out in the Midlands lol. It's going to be Dublin or Edinburgh, I think. Long weekend, wined and dined, expensive hotel, keep her happy, and I can do anything I want for the rest of the year. ??
4.) 20 Jun 2026 23:28:20
Fair play, mate. I've not been, but Mrs Legolas raved about Edinburgh after her recent visit with our daughter.
5.) 21 Jun 2026 00:52:16
Edinburgh is right up there with the best cities in the world, well worth a long weekend. ?
6.) 21 Jun 2026 07:17:32
Been there, mate...
Both are great, however, Dublin for me, not being biased.
???
7.) 22 Jun 2026 09:20:10
Manchester trumps em both.
Edinburgh (where a lot of my family are from) is beautiful. Dublin is a good laugh. Manchester is just great for the music and love the atmos. London is too crowded.
8.) 22 Jun 2026 09:56:28
I hate London, as you said, the crowds are too much, and also the scale of the place. I was considering Whitby, but there isn't a whole lot going on down there. Edinburgh is convenient for me, tbh, a couple of hours drive or by train.
Manchester just doesn't appeal to me, and doesn't have the same ring to it. I can imagine her face, 'babe I've booked us a fantastic weekend away in Manchester'. ? ?
{Ed001's Note - bring her to Dubai - she will love it. You don't even have to pay a fortune if you stay away from the tourist traps.}
9.) 22 Jun 2026 10:12:40
Now i have all these options spinning around in my little head. ??
10.) 22 Jun 2026 10:47:35
The sort of women I've dated (who love going to gigs) have loved my weekends in Madchester. It's not working so well now I'm middle-aged. Trips to the Med are coming into force at this point.
11.) 22 Jun 2026 11:23:03
Funny story: I actually met her in Newquay. We were both at Boardmasters and found her sulking in the chill out area, both disappointed with the music and kids (younger people, ?) running around and being rude. Several pints of Cornish Rattler, and more than a decade later, we're still putting up with each other. ? ?
03 Jun 2026 18:59:45
After last night's 'antics', I feel the need to send a new post (positively) about Skegs. The guy is a total enigma to me which is why I find him so interesting. One minute a post with extremely harsh comments/ humour, and the next post being the peace-making 'voice of reason'. He must be a Gemini star sign!
I'll liase with McGovern to get a ticket for a home game early next season. I'd love to meet up with as many posters on here as possible at the TBI beforehand to have a couple of beers together.
01 Jun 2026 23:39:57
I'm back as I've realised that I shouldn't let people like DTP and Larry ruin my overall enjoyment of this site.
They are the minority, intent on winding every other poster up on here.
Over the years I have come to realise that the vast majority of the posters on this site are of genuinely great personality and loyal supporters of our great Club. OK, we may disagree at times - but overall we are a happy, yet disfunctional, family! These 2 people alone turn this site venomous. I even doubt whether they support Forest.
1.) 02 Jun 2026 04:55:48
Oh, I support Forest Lego, and not from Cornwall because they were the team winning things when I was a school child. But, because I'm Nottingham born & bred, thats my local team.
That's not winding people up, it's a fact that Essex empties when the Manchester clubs play at home & if people supported the local team, football's riches would be more evenly distributed.
2.) 02 Jun 2026 05:57:39
Welcome back, mate.
3.) 02 Jun 2026 00:10:02
Welcome back mate, let me know if anyone is p*****g you off. I can hold em still and you can show them what a wheelchair rugby player can do to a tackle pad or just run em over.♿??
4.) 02 Jun 2026 08:40:38
Couldn't agree more, Larry
I'm still a season card holder, so Lego you assume wrongly.
Why don't you say something about Forest for a change.
5.) 02 Jun 2026 11:32:51
Nobody can deny your loyalty, dtp, & the amount of revenue you invest in your team each season. ??
6.) 02 Jun 2026 10:51:32
They weren't winning duck all when i was at school Balloons, quite the opposite. Half my family is from in and around Nottingham, my Grandad was Forest through and through, took me to my first game and hooked me for life.
The other half of my family are egg chasing neanderthals.
So i ask this gentleman, if you took your grandson to a game and they become reds, would you question his loyalty because he doesn't live in Nottingham❓??
7.) 02 Jun 2026 12:41:29
It's small club/time thinking to want every Forest fan to come from Nottingham. To grow the club, you need more interest and revenue from further afield.
8.) 02 Jun 2026 13:05:37
Totally agree, Stevie, mate...
9.) 02 Jun 2026 13:47:42
You would have to, Rogie, ironically. ??
10.) 02 Jun 2026 15:18:33
I was only putting Lego right on being a season card holder, blondie. ??
11.) 02 Jun 2026 17:46:59
DTP, you simply can't help yourself, can you? At least I've never posted a picture of my garden on here....
12.) 02 Jun 2026 17:53:09
You need to have a longer sabbatical, Lego. I thought you were coming back to talk football & banter. You're not quite ready yet, mate.
13.) 02 Jun 2026 18:02:11
You could well be right, Larry.
14.) 02 Jun 2026 18:05:33
You do realise that this is currently bordering on bullying? Bullying others off the site is pathetic and yet it goes on in plain site. ?
15.) 02 Jun 2026 18:54:32
I'm a proud Geordie, and if you lot ask anyone I know, I live Forest, not going into it, as I've posted it before. FTID only thing keeping me half sane atm. Gets rid of my frustrations in life.
16.) 02 Jun 2026 19:37:53
Hang in there Bud. ?
17.) 02 Jun 2026 19:38:28
Why say you're back one minute, and then start the same argument, but add Larry?
18.) 02 Jun 2026 19:52:50
Exactly Bowie, well said, mate, duck them all. ?
19.) 02 Jun 2026 19:58:37
If you want to all play nicely.
Then you don't say I'm back and then talk about posters you don't like?
20.) 02 Jun 2026 20:05:22
I'm bored of the soap opera and cat fighting. I have an idea. Shall we chat about footy in a forum somewhere. ?
21.) 02 Jun 2026 20:06:30
I'm back. And I don't like anyone. ???
22.) 02 Jun 2026 19:22:40
If people don't like what other people post, just go to 'My Profile' at the top and put their names in the 'Ignore' list.
I did that yonks ago with the 'rise and recline seaside simpletons' so you don't have to listen to their incoherent ramblings.
Anyone else secretly hoping Henderson gets an injury in the friendlies and GW gets a call up?
23.) 02 Jun 2026 20:10:59
Exactly Skeggs.
24.) 02 Jun 2026 20:14:47
I can't wish injury to any player tbh, not nice.
To me, Tuchel has picked his squad, rightly or wrongly, and he will be judged on that decision.
25.) 02 Jun 2026 20:39:36
Right, are you all over your Ginger Genius getting the boot then? Brilliant! We can start enjoying life under a modern coach at last.
So, when we are thinking of signings, we need to think about ones that are a bit more flexible and not just low block counter-attack.
26.) 02 Jun 2026 20:47:11
Wasn't rocket science that Dyche had too many riches to cope with, or how to play them.
It was run till you drop, and he got sacked for doing it, as Sinatra said, "My Way."
27.) 02 Jun 2026 20:54:53
Cyclist, you ain't even got windows (me and Rogie joke). I give up on future signings, as with this club, anything can happen. For me, eggs in one basket, Bowen. Especially if we lose mgw.
28.) 02 Jun 2026 20:13:04
I wasn't starting an argument DTP. I was just stating a fact about you and Larry which has become obvious to myself and many other posters on here.
I find it ironic how good you two are at 'dishing it out' to others, irrespective of how your poisonous comments may hurt some, and then stand aghast when anyone even softly gives it back to you. Total hypocrisy. I stand my ground against you both and refuse to be forced-off this site.
Thanks for your loyalty Winter.
29.) 02 Jun 2026 20:38:36
I've no wish to get involved in this ridiculous spat, but what I WILL say is that Legolas has over come more than most so called men could ever possibly imagine, and yet he works tirelessly to ensure others have enough food and roofs over their heads on a daily basis.
Shame on those who ridicule him. Is it any wonder that others don't come on this site. Eds should take note.
30.) 02 Jun 2026 22:03:57
Many thanks, Vale. I appreciate that, mate.
31.) 02 Jun 2026 22:08:54
Yet again, same subject, Lego.
32.) 02 Jun 2026 22:43:06
DTP, are you totally heartless? If you cut me in half I'd have 'Forest' written through me like a piece of seaside rock. However, dare I say that there are more important things in life than football. Food, water, shelter, companionship, support etc. I love my Club, but aren't these things more important than Forest?
Just to annoy you, DTP, you may remember my case when I was trying to help a RAF veteran who'd been evicted from his rented caravan and was living rough. This guy, who had served this country to defend your right to free speech, was living in a tent and eating pot noodles to survive.
I ended up getting the guy into a homeless shelter and worked hard to get him more settled back into society.
I received a text from him a fortnight ago or so. He now has his own privately rented flat, is no longer claiming benefits, and has a full time job as a helicopter technician once again earning good money. He even now has a girlfriend and has taken up oil painting again!
You can slag me off as much as you want, DTP. I love our Club, but I am proud to post other things which may inspire you and others on here to help those less fortunate than ourselves and, hopefully, to better our society as a whole.
33.) 02 Jun 2026 22:44:53
This is getting boring now. Vale, I think we've all overcome hard things in our life and probably have plenty more hard things to go. Some of us just don't mention it on site, and I'm sure a lot on here have done good things like Lego as to. And fair play to the guy. But, as others have said on here before, nobody knows about other posters and what they've been through and what they've done, because they don't post it.
Let's just talk footie and have a banter, because at the end of the day we're all on here posting because we want to escape the real world for a while and have a laugh and talk about a club we all love in the end. Thank God I sound like Stokie. ??
34.) 02 Jun 2026 23:13:16
Bravo, Skeggs.
Well said.
35.) 02 Jun 2026 23:27:07
Well said, Skegs.
36.) 02 Jun 2026 23:21:46
That's a fair point Skaggs, and I agree with what you're saying but DTP treats this site like it's his own cartel. A couple of months ago when he went off the grid with a trembling bottom lip this site was totally different, everyone got on and NO snide comments or personal attacks.
He came back and within a day it all kicked off again. Coincidence or a deliberate attempt to split the group, you decide. I've no beef with you or anyone else but it has to be said.
37.) 03 Jun 2026 00:07:01
Nailed the situation Vale. I noticed the same with DTP's absence from the site - it was far better without him.
38.) 03 Jun 2026 09:28:19
I know it's hard. But, all sides (apart from St Cyclist, obviously) are guilty. Sorry, but you are all snarking and acting like you want each other to leave. You could stop talking about each other all the time and just chat about footy and make Harmless fun of each other.
There is banter, then there is personal nastiness. Any intelligent person can see the difference.
Move on. Stop obsessing about each other. You're all wrong unless you agree with me. ?
39.) 04 Jun 2026 07:36:05
I'd like to invite Jerry Springer to host this year's first dramas page. About the only guy appropriate to mediate this reality tv nonsense.
15 Mar 2026 21:21:00
I don't know about you, Stevie, but I think Stokey served his country in a way many Veterans could not have done. I admire him for that.
I can't imagine myself, or most of the other Veterans that I know, having the balanced-view, tolerance, and cool-headed nature that Coppers are expected to have nowadays.
Personally, I couldn't have done it.
13 Mar 2026 22:05:07
Just for a bit of fun Stokey - I'll put in a bit of ex-Int Corps banter about each of your seven:
Royal Marines - great soldiers with a superb sense of dry humour. Slightly gay with a tendency to dress in women's clothing at any opportunity.
Parachute Regiment - great soldiers yet with no sense of humour, which has been buried due to their own arrogance. Wilt into the background when you explain that you have done parachuting too and then beat them in a BFT run.
Foresters - who.cares? Always an also-ran Rgt.
Submariners - even more gay than the Royals. Always smell very strange after 6 months submerged on a nuke sub with the weird stuff they put into the Aircon system.
RMP - universally hated throughout the Army. Mostly failed civvy police recruits. Usually billeted with the Int Corps for their own protection.
Navy radio operator - more civvy than a civvy.
Welsh Guards - brilliant at drill but rubbish soldiers in the field. Mostly foul-mouthed morons from the Valleys who would otherwise be stealing off their Mums.
12 Mar 2026 23:01:25
C'mon Stokey - take the p*** out of the Royals as all the Squaddies do! I served alongside them in NI and 'elsewhere'. Without doubt, top quality soldiers who I really respected but a bit too much in touch with their 'feminine side' for my liking! Very 'touchy-feely' which I never felt comfortable with.
Wasn't it the Borat comedy sketch where he said Marines are just like the Army, but gay.
19 Dec 2025 19:02:56
I'd hate to see Murillo go - but my gut feeling is that if an offer came in around £70-80M, and he wanted to go, Big M would let him go.
19 Dec 2025 18:54:06
I'd go with that Stokey. Hopefully, he has realised that 'the grass isn't always greener on the other side'. I reckon his heart is still with Forest.
24 Jun 2026 20:24:25
For once, I couldn't agree with you more, DTP.
24 Jun 2026 20:22:24
Summed-up perfectly, Frog.
20 Jun 2026 23:28:20
Fair play, mate. I've not been, but Mrs Legolas raved about Edinburgh after her recent visit with our daughter.
20 Jun 2026 22:27:32
C'mon, Winter. Do it the Cornish way, mate. Give Mrs Winter a good birthday seeing-to first thing, then feed her a pasty for brunch. After that offer to take her to the Forest game, followed by a romantic dinner after the game.
She'll be so mellow that she'll refuse the game and agree to dinner with you at 7.30pm, once she's 'recovered'.
Job done, mate.
20 Jun 2026 20:05:11
Try to hang in there, Skegs. My thoughts are with you, bigboy.
