The View From A Distance: Reality Dawns
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, Forest Opinion
And so the hysterics begin in earnest.
Hopelessly mired at the foot of the table, cut adrift from safety by an unbridgeable gulf of 2 points, shipping goals by the barrow-load, and with only 38 games left to save our season. The demands for a root and branch restructuring of the club have resumed: we need […]
Me Owd Duck remembering Plymouth Argyle
Posted in: Funny stuff, History, Me Owd Duck
Now then. Not a good weekend to be a Forest fan. Some of us can remember playing the likes of Manchester United, week in, week out and occasionally filling their nets with goals. Now we lose 1-0 and have a player sent off against Plymouth. Plymouth is in Devon, or at least it used to […]

Notts County legend Jimmy Sirrel dies aged 86
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, General football
Sympathy this morning to our neighbours across the Trent following the sad news of Jimmy Sirrel’s passing.
Mr Sirrel was best known for leading Notts County in an unlikely charge up the Football League in the 1970s. He was also briefly manager of Sheffield United, before returning to Meadow Lane for more against-the-odds success in the […]
Should We Be Worried?
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, Forest Opinion
Summer was great wasn’t it? Sure, the majority of Saturdays were relatively hum drum without so much of a hint of anxiety registering in our vacant minds along with all the other emotions we’d become accustomed to in the months prior to the break but at least we could always look at the league table […]
Me Owd Duck v Charlton Athletic
Posted in: Funny stuff, History, Me Owd Duck
Now then. Allow me to introduce mysen. Duck’s the name and me first name to you is not important. To my son I am Dad and to my Grandkids I am Granddad. All you need to know is that I was supporting Forest long before you were born. In fact, I […]
Forest on Film #1: Vintage City Ground
Posted in: Forest on Film, History
As a journalist I spend much of time ‘researching’ on YouTube. And what better way to spend my employer’s time and money than looking at old Forest clips and sharing them with the readers of LTLF?
To start us off in the first of a regular series, here’s some old cine film footage of the City […]
The not so green, green grass of home? (Part Two)
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, Forest Opinion
Andrew Cole might not agree with Travis either, but then his pop career was short lived so what does he know? One thing he does know about is scoring goals, and he has manged this at every club that he has played for thus far. The problem is, this is the first time that has has been […]
The not so green, green grass of home? (Part One)
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, Funny stuff, General football
I love the smell of freshly cut grass in the morning - especially that cut from my own garden as it has a very distinctive smell. It makes me feel like I am home again, like a returning hero after a bloody conflict in a distant land.
I am sure this is exactly the same smell that Kevin Keegan and […]
Cole On His Way?
Posted in: Articles - Season 2008/09, Forest News
According to recent newspaper reports our oh so wonderful talismanic striker, Andrew Cole is dissatisfied with life at the City Ground, and objects to not being a guaranteed starter. Whilst I realise that we should not take this as gospel, as it has no doubt come out of a tabloid looking for a story, I would […]
