Main beef was lack of cards, all well and good letting the game flow, high stakes match etc, but you need to 'control' the game at some stage.
Totally subjective view, probably nonsense, but I always get the impression he is trying to avoid the difficult decisions, probably totally wrong !  |
One of those games where there's a lot of people rolling around on the floor as if they've been shot, a lot of people charging towards him as if it's the worst thing they've ever seen, making every little decision a big one.
One thing I did think interesting/annoying is Steve Cook got a huge hole in his head very early in the game which they couldn't stop bleeding, even with stitches at half time. Personally I thought he shouldn't have carried on. But the game had to be stopped on four separate occasions for him to be cleaned up and more stuff applied to his head. I mean, how long can you keep going with that? |  | | |

Funnily enough someone on RefChat mentioned that as well.
Part of the game must be 11 v 11 at all times, at all costs mantra applied at the top.
Thanks for the background on the game.
I always go back to the 2nd leg play off game at (then) LR - shudder to think what some refs would have done with that game, Clattenburg was faultless, I think you said at the time closest you've ever been to giving a 10 for a ref! | | | |

Also on the ball out of play thing. Simmo and I were sat watching it last night, ball goes out of play on 70 minutes and for one reason or another (injury, sub, time wasting, sub, injury, Steve Cook's hole in the head, sub, injury, free kick that takes ages) it basically didn't come back in again for any serious length of time the rest of the night. An attritional watch. | | | |

There were several fouls that should have led to a card that he didn't give - a couple were in added time where Solanke (I think) grabbed a Forest player to pull him back - no free kick or booking. 2 mins later, Solanke did exactly the same again - he did get booked the 2nd time. If he had been booked the first time, he wouldn't have committed the 2nd foul.
Also seemed to give a few soft free kicks to Bournemouth but then ignored the same challenges by Bournemouth on Forest players. |  |

Always say football fans are much of a muchness, but forest fans really do seem to have a particular trait of unwarranted smugness. I live in Nottingham and the pub last night was full of grown men with straight faces saying things like "It's good because now we'll get a trophy when we go up" and "you get more money for going up by the play-offs".
Please god let them lose the final on penalties... | | | |

It’s a similar thing to Leeds and Derby. Because they were good in the 70s/80s under generational managerial talent and they take a few away it somehow means that if they’re not at the top table right now they surely soon will be, and rightly so too. No amount of complete shtness or time spent in League One is enough to dissuade them. Some of the stuff The Athletic in particular has allowed to be published on Forest and Derby this year is pure puke. | | | |

Other highlights of this season:
ITK types reporting that even if they don't go up, Johnson won't leave because he's 'proper Forest'.
Overhearing a lively debate about whether Djed Spence will end up at Liverpool or Real Madrid.
Not a single Forest fan I know understanding why the 'Welcome to the world famous City Ground' tannoy announcement is funny.

Add in the ever increasingly elaborate flag parades at home games, and the guys that organise them putting out 'official statements' about how "negotiations are underway to ensure a presence inside the CG for the remaining games and play-offs".
Oh purlease, to fck off.  | | | |

Huddersfield for me,Forrest odds on favourites I expect but not sure how many time the favourites have won the final.I think all the teams that go up will struggle and at least 2 will go down as has happened this season and Brentford aren't safe yet so maybe all 3.Not sure what the best solution is for parachute payments if they cut them by 50% as is being proposed it just means the clubs coming up will have less to spend on strengthening their squads so the teams that stay in the PL just get richer so the gap widens. | | | |

Just think it's the opposite to most QPR fans' mentality.
Only a few weeks ago a Sheffield United fan was telling me how many points they were behind Fulham.
Meanwhile, back in January I put one message on one whatsapp group, that I was starting to think that even we'd find it hard not to make the playoffs from our position. And I've hated myself ever since. | | | |

Even at the end of February I wasn't too concerned. 23rd Feb we beat Blackpool (another last minute winner job, with ten men), we'd just got a decent point against Boro as well. Then we went to Blackburn, maybe just about did enough for a point. But then Dieng got injured, Marshall had a flap and it was all downhill from there. |  |

Also after we beat Luton on the 13th March, we went up from 7th to 4th and went above them in the table. We were still only six points off auto although we'd played a couple more than Scott Parker's Plucky Bournemouth. As you say everyone seems to point to everything collapsing and falling off a cliff once we got into February but that isn't really the case. |  |

The performances went though didn't they? Blackpool and Luton victories were rather fortunate wins but really since something between Reading at home and Peterborough in the Cup the wheels came off and the results since began to match the lacklustre performances. |  | | |

Dieng probably the biggest loss I reckon. | |

One of the things that happened in that period was the defeat away at Forest. It was the first game I had been to this season where I felt that we looked like lightweights and were in danger of getting completely overwhelmed. It was also the game we lost Willock. |  |

And we were 1-0 up at half time too.
So many games in the last few months that we lost from a winning position. | |

Although we missed a sitter to go 2 nil up which would of killed the game
They also scored a worldie to equalise where's previously they hadn't looked like scoring

The sitter was missed when the score was 0-0.
There is no guarentee we would have scored a second goal if Amos had (should have) scored. | | | |
