Nottingham Forest 1-2 Fenerbahce  (UEFA Europa League Play Off Round) As a Forest fan and in doing a bit of freelance work for UEFA, I’ve been asking for a Reds Europa League game all season and finally, I’m given one, in truth I known about it well before the first leg win in Istanbul, in Vitor Pereira’s first game (against his old club) his new side put in a brilliant performance, to all but put this tie to bed. Forest won 3-0 in Turkey to give themselves a real advantage t

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Charlton Athletic  (Women’s Super League 2) Annoyingly my match at Brackley Town got called off yesterday, the weather in England is testing the soddened surfaces across the country with persistent depressing rain right now and it’s the second time in just a few days I’ve had a cancellation. I stayed in digs after the Forest Green match on Tuesday night, a quaint pub in the middle of the Cotswolds, to travel the following day down to Taunton, but luckily

Nottingham Forest 4-0 Ferencvaros  (UEFA Europa League Group Stages) As I don’t often get the chance to watch them, I’ve been looking at ticket prices all week to see my team Nottingham Forest play their final Europa League group stage match of this season, they’ve already qualified for the playoffs, not much riding on this one, so it’s annoying to find out prices are around £60/70 per ticket for what is pretty much a meaningless match. A couple of seasons ago fans were moani

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Sheffield United  (Women’s Super League 2) I took the wife to theatre on Saturday so no football for me, she has allowed me to work the Sunday instead, so I’ve tied it in with popping out for a few pints with a mate in Bingham later, I can get a lift down to the ground and take the bus which leaves Trent Bridge Cricket Ground shortly after the game. Nottingham is after all my back garden, I live about ten minutes’ drive from the ground, a good 45 minutes

England 1-3 Senegal (Friendly) The last time I watched England, ten months ago, Lee Carsley was taking temporary charge of his first game...

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Burnley (Women's FA Cup Round Four) *aet Not only my first women's match of the season, my first trip to the City Ground in over a year which is pretty bad for a Forest fan who's bouncing over the brilliance of the men's team right now. Forest women aren't doing bad themselves, top of the FA Women's National League North they are unbeaten so far but they did draw with Burnley in September, the Clarets are third in the same league and going well, tonight

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Burnley (EFL Cup Round Two) I’m meeting the lads at 6pm, the Embankment pub on Awkwright Street just over the River Trent is destination to kick off proceedings, no business tonight, just pleasure, probably passing to pain in the morning from a heavy head filled of alcohol topped with a late night kebab. The young uber driver drops me outside the doors after I’ve given him a lecture on how to get on the property ladder, I’m ten minutes early and on form

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Tottenham Hotspur (EFL League Cup Round Three) It’s not business but pleasure tonight, a club I’ve supported man and boy, going back to the mid eighties when under the days of the great Brian Clough, the City Ground had me hooked watching the likes of Neil Webb, Des Walker, Brian Rice and Tommy Gaynor. Back then of course, Nottingham Forest were a top league club, and these days, this season, alas, they are also a top league club, but struggling at the
