It’s a shame

Why is Nigel Reo Coker so aggressive? I thoroughly enjoy all other guests on here but he is really unpleasant and abrasive in his comments.

Skrimmers ,

MNC - Defending the indefensible

What an extraordinary discussion on Forest’s points deduction! In any other business fraudulent behaviour and accounting is an offence, sometimes criminal! But apparently in football, fraud and not abiding to financial rules ranges from being totally acceptable to, at worst, unfortunate! Also, for an impartial analysis we have a Forest fan presenter from BBC Radio Nottingham. “They abided to all the rules except for one” is a laughable comment. The criteria is black and white and that is to be applauded! While the punishment is arguably more subjective (as it is in a criminal or civil court where there are parameters for offences) a heavy punishment is due Forest and they’ve got one! The footballer pundits, who have no clue what they are talking about when it comes to financial regulations, just about stop short of saying “how can the regulators make a judgement when they’ve never played the game?” Apparently fraudulent accounting is bad for morale with the lads on the training pitch. The suggestion being wouldn’t it be easier to just abandon any regulation altogether? The phrase “living in a parallel universe” has never seemed more appropriate! Best of all, Luton would apparently rather stay up “the right way”! What utter nonsense, if Luton (or Burnley even) stay up at Forest’s expense when staying within the financial rules they will totally deserve to!

bishop is dire ,

Mostly good

Predictable Connor Coady cheerleading for any English player cos he went to a World Cup as a mascot is so dull.
Mostly good, when he’s on it it’s v bland
