Will Gimenez come?
More twists and turns than a Helter Skelter!
Apparently he's changed his mind!
Was he coming at all?
The joy's of a being a Forest Fan!
Frustrating, nail biting yet enjoyable not knowing what is happening regarding transfers! ?????.
1.) 26 Aug 2024 18:32:24
Wish it was enjoyable. Predictable as in a here we go again.
2.) 26 Aug 2024 21:43:09
Seems the Mexican doesn't fancy Forest, we certainly don't need anyone who doesn't want to be at the WFCG.
3.) 26 Aug 2024 21:56:22
If he doesn't want to or he's not sure about the move then we should move on.
4.) 27 Aug 2024 08:54:50
It’s a classic Mexican standoff imo……??.
5.) 27 Aug 2024 10:16:38
He isn’t coming. Thinks he’s too god for us. **** him! He can sit in leverkusens reserves. Prick.
6.) 27 Aug 2024 11:15:20
Probably because he is, Tricky. Challenging for League titles and playing continental football or a relegation battle? Hmmm. Now let me think about that one.
7.) 27 Aug 2024 18:01:05
Its more than likely a game for higher wages I think.
8.) 27 Aug 2024 21:20:47
Another one has rejected a move to Forest. Brobbey from Ajax apparently. His agent said he won't send his player to just any club and it's got to be a good move. Allegedly anyway.
9.) 28 Aug 2024 00:18:25
It's a pity the Black Orchid has closed, made Roy Keane the man he is?.
10.) 28 Aug 2024 07:08:23
Black Orchid is a blast from the past, Vespa. I used to love going there on a Friday night.
11.) 28 Aug 2024 18:43:01
Black boy did a nice Bernie.
12.) 28 Aug 2024 23:08:48
Is it in the contract that he could be dragged kicking and screaming to play in Greece, regardless what he wants.
13.) 29 Aug 2024 19:33:48
Just given Forest the "Mexican Wave".
26 Aug 2024 13:51:05
Gimenez deal all but done apparently?
Was Eddie N just a smoke screen?
1.) 26 Aug 2024 15:04:02
Probably all part of the "Poker" game RiR.
2.) 26 Aug 2024 15:35:25
More than likely.

Looking through the Post's on here on DTP is nowhere to be seen?
Has he done a Lord Lucan or has he moved Ilkeston to Wigston?
????.
1.) 26 Oct 2024 18:03:43
True. I'm sure he'll be back.
2.) 26 Oct 2024 18:34:40
It'll not be for long he misses us to much probably just having a break doing a bit of gardening and talking to his pansies.
3.) 26 Oct 2024 18:56:13
Last heard saying Nuno and Sels out.
Probably just a little embarrassed.
4.) 26 Oct 2024 19:23:45
. and STILL it go's on.
None of us knows what has happened or go's on in that fellas life?
Legless is a great guy, who certainly does not deserve comments like that?
{Ed001's Note - it is not about Legless Rogie. They are talking about DTP.}
5.) 26 Oct 2024 20:33:27
We've all got a life other than this platform and come and go perhaps he's fitting a lot of bathroom's for Xmas the poor chap might be busy ??.
6.) 26 Oct 2024 20:44:58
Thanks for sticking up for me Rogie, even though it's not about me! I appreciate it mate. Stevie and DTP seemed to leave around the same time. Hopefully, they'll be back - are you looking forward to that Skegs?
7.) 26 Oct 2024 20:57:46
DTP has no reason to be embarrassed, he just says what he feels, and I for one miss his posts. Plus, on occasions, he has said how well Forest have played under Nuno. Someone who can admit they are wrong on occasion certainly gets my respect.
8.) 26 Oct 2024 21:03:55
Oops!
Apologies.
9.) 26 Oct 2024 21:40:41
Come to think of it Ed. the same applies.
10.) 26 Oct 2024 22:27:38
It might be because we're still doing well and Sels looks like a good keeper. But hey-ho NUNO OUT! And get rid of that keeper as while we're at it.
11.) 26 Oct 2024 22:53:57
Dtp and stevie have had enough. Simple as.
12.) 26 Oct 2024 22:54:28
Of course I'm looking forward to that legless 12 years of chatting debating arguing and always being right I always look forward to the day where he can prove me wrong I just hope I'm still alive when it happens ??.
13.) 27 Oct 2024 11:46:34
Skegs, mate, may I respectfully challenge your assertion that you have spent 12 years arguing, debating and chatting and always being right? In the interests of historical accuracy, I do recall your good self ( and Balloons) consistently saying that SC would take us down in our first season in the Prem. On the back of several thumping defeats ( I remember 6 nil at Man City, 5 nil at Arsenal, 4 nil at Leicester etc) this was probably a reasonable assumption. I thought the opposite, particularly when he had the courage to change his tactics ( of necessity) to a more dour and pragmatic system ( plus managed to assemble some sort of a team from the 30 or 40 players dumped on him). I was right and you were wrong because he did keep us up, a remarkable achievement for a young manager in his first stint in the Prem.
Please don’t take this the wrong way. I remember years ago the legendarily grumpy senior judge Len Goodman on Strictly giving John Barnes a nil or a one after a particularly abysmal dance. “ John, you made a mistake in coming on the show because you can’t dance. But don’t worry about it. I can’t play football but it doesn’t make you a bad person! ” ?.
14.) 27 Oct 2024 11:53:00
I always found DTP to be a very funny and perceptive contributor to this site and I hope all is well in his world. I’ve said on here before that it’s highly unlikely that any of us would know if any contributor had fallen on hard times health wise or even ( God forbid) passed away. A sad thought but worth considering……
None of us are getting any younger….
15.) 27 Oct 2024 12:08:02
Skegs, mate, I’ve only just ( very belatedly) picked up your post in the Marinkinakos spitting debate, when you mention 5 star hotels with libraries. Sounds like paradise to me in a winter break in a cold climate but I’ve never come across such an arrangement.
All the Viking cruises boats have a library where you can read about the culture and history of the places you are about to see or have seen. They also have visiting experts giving lectures. I was particularly impressed by young Vienna University graduate giving a talk on “ The importance of the River Danube to the Roman Empire”. Apart from slides, he would point out of the window at things like an anonymous overgrown mound on the River bank and say “ By the way below all that foliage there’s the remains of a Roman wharf which will be excavated by archaeologists next year”.
I’ve been in many lecture rooms but never one where you could sip whiskey sours until they came out of your ears…….
We have booked a trip on Viking at the end of next May from Venice to Athens with other stops on the Adriatic. I’m particularly looking forward to out of hours private guided tours around the Doges Palace and the Acropolis ( where I will pay particular attention to any spitting Greeks ) ……?.
16.) 27 Oct 2024 17:33:30
Stokey I have admitted many times one comment just a few days ago I think it was to red vale that I'd been wrong many of times the comment above was a bit of banter mate and if you know your history which I know you do it is part of there culture that beard off bad spirits.
17.) 27 Oct 2024 18:36:12
Fair enough Skegs. You are a good man with his heart in the right place. This site would be no where near as lively as it is without you mate! ??.
18.) 27 Oct 2024 19:11:54
Thank you stokey. and I think everyone who posts on this site makes it a great site even the ones that have gone AWOL but I do know they will be back everyone thinks they need a break from the site but it as a habit of drawing you back in because it's such a great site a release from the boredom of every day life and a good old banter with people who have at least one thing in common forest ?.
24 Aug 2024 18:29:23
Great win today.
Definitely need a clinical Striker though.
Well done lads ?.
23 Aug 2024 10:18:23
Good Morning all.
Followed this Page for age's but never registered.
Some great points of view on here and colourful Characters.
Regarding Eddie N.
Do you think the asking price and wages are high for a player who's not proven his worth as such?
1.) 23 Aug 2024 15:35:50
Yes!.
2.) 23 Aug 2024 16:03:13
Welcome Ripley. I used to live not far from there.
I'm not convinced by Nketiah at all mate, especially at that price.
3.) 23 Aug 2024 18:20:45
Cheers Gazzi.
It's odd Forest knew a Striker is a Priority yet drag their heels! ?
Nketiah seems he believes in in own abilities asking for a kings ransom.
If Forest do sign him and he fails to deliver his head will on a plate along with Nuno's potentially.
4.) 23 Aug 2024 20:51:50
Hardest camodity to find Ripley mate and the most expensive
We haven't done to badly with Awoniyi and Wood, even though ones a plank and the other is made of balsa allegedly ??.
5.) 23 Aug 2024 20:59:30
Hi Ripley. I was in the same boat as you just reading posts for years. Then I decided to register (6-8 months ago? ) and I'm really happy that I did. As you say - full of 'colourful characters' on here, but all part of the same, dysfunctional, Forest-family!
Ref your post - I'm starting to wonder if we even need to sign a striker now. Big A, Wood and a hungry Taylor from the Academy snapping at their heels is good enough for me.
6.) 23 Aug 2024 22:45:03
Still need a goalkeeper legless or it will cost us.
7.) 24 Aug 2024 05:39:03
Stick Taylor in good shout.
Forest have a giant as a goalkeeper use him.
Great for corners.
8.) 24 Aug 2024 08:24:06
Is the Regal still open Ripley? I used to drink in Ripley in the late 80s, Friday nights were brilliant, I used to get the bus from Eastwood, also Tonkas, wine bar, cock hotel, three horse shoes, crown? Are any of those pubs/ clubs left? Doubt it.
9.) 24 Aug 2024 08:30:09
Pantillimon was tall and he was pants.
10.) 24 Aug 2024 09:01:24
Taylor not good enough for the premier
Might sound harsh but it's true.

Who's Cooper?
Another great win and Nuno proving yet again the Doubters incorrect.
Merry Xmas you filthy animals.
01 Dec 2024 07:37:31
Who's Cooper?
Nuno is doing a great job unlike our previous Manager/ Coach who's proved he is not Premier League standard!
COYR!
23 Nov 2024 14:37:12
Not sure where the goals will come from?
Hopefully not a thrashing today!
02 Nov 2024 17:33:40
Fantastic win ??????.
21 Oct 2024 18:51:22
Evening Gents.
2 Nil Forest.
Wood and Jota to score if he plays?
