Nottingham Forest 2-2 Newcastle United (Women’s Super League 2) I don’t get paid a lot for watching women’s football, but it pays better than working eight hours at McDonalds and when Forest are at home it only takes three hours out of my day. The agreement with the wife is I work a Sunday and that money goes towards shopping, I also get out of going to the shops, a no brainer? I watched Newcastle play for the first time on Wednesday at Everton and was impressed all be it in

Nottingham Forest 2-0 Burnley (Women's Super League 2) I'm back at the City Ground for the third time this season, Forest are going well in WSL 2 unbeaten in their opening four games so far but with three draws including last time out on the road at Southampton. Burnley I last watched here a couple of seasons ago, promoted from the National League North in the summer they are still looking for a first league win in the second tier after two draws and two defeats so far. I was

Nottingham Forest 0-2 Aston Villa (Women’s Super League Cup Group Stages) The Subway Players Cup is a competition involving 23 Women’s Super League and WSL2 sides (Manchester City, Arsenal & Chelsea aren’t appearing this season due to their European commitments) and after ditching the four team group formats of previous campaigns, this year will see the in trend Swiss model being used, a watered down copy cat of the UEFA Champions League format, but with another twist, draws

Nottingham Forest 2-2 Watford (Women’s Super League 2) I’ve got an agreement with the wife. If I work Sundays, a proportion of the money I make goes to her and is (I’m told) put towards our weeks shopping. So with that in mind, and with the City Ground just a couple of miles away from my house, I see covering Nottingham Forest’s first home match of the season against Watford, as a bit of easy, extra shopping money for our household. I was here for the Forest women’s last matc

Nottingham Forest 0-3 Southampton (Women’s Super League 2) What a season it has been in the WSL2, Nottingham Forest in their first campaign at the second tier of women’s football for thirteen long years, going into the last day with a chance of a sixth placed finish, the Reds enjoyed a fair start to the 2025/26 campaign with three wins in their first four games, but a sticky middle scuppered any outside hopes of back-to-back promotions, a good end however has seen them unbeat

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Porto (UEFA Europa League Quarter Final) Folklore will forever tell us that in 1979 and 1980 Nottingham Forest won back-to-back European Cups. I was too young to witness the early days of Brian Clough’s magnificent historical tenure, but I did get to watch his later years in charge, by which time English clubs were banned from Europe due to the Heysel Stadium disaster. During that time, FC Porto won the first of their two European Cups in 1987, beating

Midtjylland 1-2 Nottingham Forest (UEFA Europa League Round of 16 Second Leg) *0-3 pens aet Mid-Jutland is the central section of Denmark's largest peninsula. Translated to Midtjylland in Danish, the area is home to a team that was only founded as recently as 1999 when both Ikast FS and Herning Fremad joined forces. Based in Herning, Midtjylland are the region's formidable force and are one to be reckoned with amongst Europe's elite, having spent the last 25 years in the Sup

Nottingham Forest 0-1 Midtjylland (UEFA Europa League Round of 16 First Leg) I really wanted to attend more of Nottingham Forest’s Europa League matches this season but at £60 a ticket I’ve been priced out of watching the club I’ve supported for well over 40 years. It’s not just me either? This week, the club came under scrutiny from fans who weren’t prepared to be ripped off, with thousands of unsold tickets ahead of the Reds second home match with Midtjylland this season,

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

Birmingham City 5-1 Nottingham Forest (Women’s Super League 2) Another Sunday watching Forest women, but this time it’s across the A42 and to Birmingham as I’m given the green light by the Mrs to work my two day weekend in the cause of our summer holiday fund. During the ‘Karen Carney’ years, Birmingham City were a major force in the English game, twice finishing Women’s Super League runners up, they won the FA Cup in 2012 and made a number of League Cup finals too. They had

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

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 3-2 Sporting Khalsa (Women’s FA Cup Round Two) Formed in 1991 by the local Sikh Community in Willenhall. Sporting Khalsa are a modern-day success story of ‘Sunday league’ to ‘non-league’ with their men’s team in 2015/16 reaching the fourth qualifying round of the FA Cup before losing to FC United of Manchester who went on to play Chesterfield in the first-round proper later that year. It’s the furthest the men have been, who’s first team now play in the Nort

Nottingham Forest 7-0 Sheffield (Women’s FA Cup Round One) It's moist, misty and miserable today. The wife's at a Christmas Market at Woodborough Hall so I'm taking Bruce to his Beagle meet in Cropwell before a walk around Cotgrave Country Park. I'm off to Forest v Sheffield in the FA Cup. These days the Reds Women playing in Derbyshire over the border at Long Eaton United FC. It's not a long drive as the wife gets back for 12:45, I'm out the door after a kiss on the cheek an
