And the Derby situation drags on . . and on. . . and on :rolleyes:

Latest rumour/speculation/guesswork is (still) that Potential Buyers are offering under the going price until they find out if they'll own a Championship club or a League one club.


Many calls for that from fans up & down the country :D
However, kicking them out at this late stage of the season has potential repercussions due to points then being deducted from the clubs that gained a result against Derby . . and could alter play-off positions . . which may lead to even more legal wrangling from clubs that lose out.

What a sad and sorry state of affairs football has become :(

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Well today saw them officially relegated to League One.
Late goals saw them lose at QPR, and Reading get an unlikely 4-4 draw.
Those results mean the gap is 10 points, but Derby can now only get 9 points.

:angel:

Amazing attendance at Old Trafford last night for the U18’s FA Cup to watch United play Forest.
Nearly 67,500 there, the biggest crowd for a football match anywhere in England apart from Wembley and 1st team home games this season.

United won 3-1 but Forest played really well and have some very promising juniors.

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Yes, it was a good match. Just a shame that Zach Abbott (who is only fifteen) conceded a penalty for a foul outside the area...

Re: Season 2021/22
 

A very dodgy penalty for sure but if the rules had been strictly applied he could have got a straight red for preventing a goalscoring opportunity.😉

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Lost me a bit with the bold.


I thought they changed that recently, in some cases they give a pen/fk and then a yellow not a red?

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Not sure, interpretation keeps changing. Possibly didn't want to send the young lad off for that which is fair enough.

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Aside from that nffc, are you optimistic about your play off chances?

Re: Season 2021/22
 

I honestly don't know. We have a few players out and SU are a decent side on parachute payments. Both league matches were draws...

Re: Season 2021/22
 

The finances of Luton are tiny compared to the other three. Amazing feat to even get that far.

I can still remember the FA Cup final between Forest and Luton. :D

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Was that FA cup? Thought it league cup

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Nope, FA Cup 1958/9. At that time I was a football mad lad. I could rhyme off the FA Cup winners for several years. It’s amazing to think back as to just how big the FA Cup was in those days. Virtually all the days TV given over to coverage. ITV would be on one team bus, BBC on the other. It’s A Knockout type competitions between both teams towns or cities.

The last time Forest won it.

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Who'd have thought back then they'd meet again a mere 30 years later in the league cup final and Luton would lose again mind you they did beat arsenal the year before

Re: Season 2021/22
 

Great result for NFFC today.

Great result for Liverpool in the F A Cup. It's never the best to have a game decided on penalties but it was an absolute joy to see mount fail to score his. :D
