I’ve fairly recently become a Nordic ‘junkie’ and since lockdown have watched all series of The Bridge, The Killing, The Legacy, Midnight Sun, Occupied, Those Who Kill, Valhalla Murders, the Man in Room 301, Millennium…..
Still need to catch up on the Hunt for a Killer. I am also staring at...
We’ll have to agree to disagree on that one. As I said earlier I believe the grey area is umpire’s call and I imagine whatever decision you give in that case will be considered ok by those who scrutinise as by definition it was marginal either way. I’d love to see some meaningful stats on it...
I went to 3 tests in the famous 5-0 Freddie tour. So bad was the umpiring at Perth I was actually a member at the WACA that year and sat by the umpire’s’ room and challenged Rudi Koetzen face to face after the day’s play on it about one decision in particular that gave Strauss out leg before to...
In one game no - fair point. But I’ve been thinking this for a while and over a few series Down Under I’m convinced that the umpiring favours them on those close calls with DRS.
Of course they will say it works the other way when they play here and that might also be true. :lol:
Just seen some of the highlights. I think Malan was unlucky to be given out - it’s amazing how many times the umpire will give it out lbw against us when it’s only umpire’s call, but when the Aussies are batting it’s given not out. Maybe the umpires get sucked in a bit by the roar of the crowd...
I was there too. In fact I’ve seen 11 Ashes tests down under, just 1 win! In that 2006/7 series, I took some really great pictures at the Perth test and someone suggested I try and sell them or get them published. I approached a couple of magazines and they just laughed and said they already...
First world problems.
Roll the clock back to May 3, 1997, an hour gone. Losing 1-0, heading out of the league, legalised crooks for owners, no ground, no money, no hope. Next stop Gillingham.
Today we worry that the kick off time(s) make it hard to get to games. Doesn’t make it right but I...
I stumbled across this write up of our history, written by a Forest fan written in 2018:

It’s a bit unkind here and there, eg regarding trophies not won which is a constant dig, but nonetheless gives a reasonable overview of...
I originally bought this one which was really good, very light but kept breaking down. I sent it back a couple of times for repair and it the end got a refund. Bosch customer services were hopeless, you get through to various surly Scousers who are paid not to help. Keep the box as they won’t...
Yes, behind the goal. I do have that book, I’ll have a closer look and see. Certainly got a different perspective in there! Got the tickets via a relative in Kidderminster, they were checking addresses like the Stasi before selling any tickets particularly over the phone. We were lucky to get...
Great picture but I had to go in the home end and it was extremely ‘lively’ in there, I’ve never seen any photos of that end of the ground though. There were 5 of us and we got outed as Brighton fans fairly early on and ended up moving a couple of times without ever feeling comfortable. And...
