[Football] Championship play-offs

Great job by Cooper, they were bottom when he took over.

Hope Forest win at Wembley. We've had some great wins over them at the Amex. Sheff Utd games generally dull or turned out badly if I remember correctly!

Superb, well done Forest. Brice Samba, what a hero.

During the game maybe but premier ref Oliver let him take the piss during the penalties. Decided to give the keepers overly long lecture whilst Norwood waited, and them Samba save has him stepping two feet forward off the line and Oliver let's it go. Then Samba faffing around between pens

Agreed.

It is SUCH a massive fork in the road for the competing clubs. I've often wondered what kind of trajectory BHA would have gone on, had we won that 1991 final against Notts County. But then look where they are now.

Its a proper 'sliding doors' moment.

Where would we be if we beat Sheff Wednesday or palace for that matter.

There’s a stat in the championship about finishing 3rd and going up automatically the next season. A crazy percentage do.

Forest to go up, as Hudd and Sheff Utd have had their recent spells in the EPL.

Good memories of a nice city centre.

Really hope Forest win the final. Be great to have a club that hasn't been in the PL in recent years make it up

 

[Munkfish]

Odds of the entire Forest team having COVID for the final now?

Good one.

Gutted for Sheffield United, decent club and fans.

And can’t be easy always living in the shadow of an absolute juggernaut across the city.

Sent a very similar message to a mate just now - one of the great away days. Come on Forest!

Yep, always try and make a weekend of it there, great away trip.

I’m guaranteed to come away with an injury caused by the away seating though!

Whether they go up or not, Forest plan to replace the 1960’s main stand, not before time. It’ll make the stadium look complete.

Hadn’t realised that this is Forest’s first trip to Wembley since the 1992 Rumbelows Cup final. Christ, I’ve been there 7 times with Grimsby in that period.

I digress slightly, because that cup final is one of the first games I can remember watching on the telly, being only 6 years old at the time. I remember it in particular because they had some bizarre 100m race between players of various teams before the game. Managed to dig it out on YouTube; anyone remember this?

Cowardly scum.

Wow, that’s absolutely sickening. Could genuinely have killed Sharp. Running at pace and direct blow to the head like that, especially when unexpected, isn’t that much different in impact to being hit by a car.

Prison for him hopefully.
