    What sports were you good at?

    I won the Marton Grove 3rd year juniors sports day obstacle course race in 1977 (or was in 78?), which was the pinnacle of my athletic career.

    Middlesbrough Stench

    Growing up as a kid in the 70's there would regularly be all sorts of weird chemical smells engulf the town if the wind blew from the direction of ICI - god knows what we were breathing in!

    Britain not interested in Youth Deal

    It’s not about minimum wages its about average wages - France and Germany both have higher average wages than the UK, both also have freedom of movement with other EU countries, the reason they have higher average wages is they invest more in skills to add more value to the economy - we dont, we...

    Britain not interested in Youth Deal

    And yet there are plenty of countries in the EU that have higher wages than the UK AND freedom of movement. The real issue is too many low skilled jobs - if most of your labour market can be replaced or undercut by cheap foreign workers you need to be training and upskilling people, not cutting...

    Lewis O'Brien wants to stay

    Id love him to stay but I cant see Forest taking a hit of £4-5m on him to allow us to get the deal done - I dont see us spending more than £3-4m on any single signing

    Next seasons realistic aim

    We are likely to end up about 10 points shy of 75-78 which usually guarantees a play off place. Given we lost the first 5 matches we are arguably not far away from being good enough right now, so Id say the play offs are the absolute minimum for next season, but given there can often be a 15...

    Dijksteel, O'Brien, Thomas, Silvera

    O'Brien was good Silvera wasnt as bad as usual but I just dont think he's good enough, maybe a loan next season? Djiksteel was poor but given he's hardly played its not surprising, dont expect him to be here next season Thomas was meh

    Latte Lath's strike rate

    Given its his first season and he has been out for a long while with injury these are incredible numbers and bode well for next season - he could easily be a 20 odd goal a season striker, especially given that this season the service to him hasnt always been good.

    F*CK VAR

    I think its worth having a level of subjectivity to have a more free flowing game and that supporters are not having goal celebration spoiled or terminated due to a bloke being 3 microns over a line!

    F*CK VAR

    I think id leave it to the referee and linesman to make the call and unless there was a clear and obvious error - like the guy being a yard offside - then the on pitch decision stands. I dont think this was a clear and obvious error, the two players were effectively level with one having a toe...

    F*CK VAR

    I agree with what you have said - yes it was technically offside and therefore the correct decision - but when someone is offside by literally a toenail it seems utterly ridiculous to be calling it an offside - before VAR that would have been called level and the goal allowed to stand. With no...
