Yesterday's Events From The Armchair Fan's Perspective

[Guinness Boy]

So obviously it would have been better to be there, but with 2000 tickets most of us weren't. Here's how it felt watching it on TV.

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Nice work. Thanks. Quick question. It was deafening at times in the away end. Did that come across in the telly? I only ask because a couple of times the rather feeble Forest support we're singing "shall we sing a song for you?".

"Attempt to invade the television"



Brilliant. Great writing.

 

[dougdeep]

Excellent stuff. Argus take note.

 

[wellquickwoody]

Excellent stuff!

 

[Notters]

Only really heard Allllbbbbiiiooon, Allllbbbbiiiooon.

surprisedIit was deafening as the acoustics never seem that great in that stand.

 

[The Bear]

We were sat in the top of the Brian Clough stand 3 blocks in and at times it was very loud. Looked like fun down there!

We should have replied with 'Shall we fill some seats for you'. There was no reason why we shouldn't have been given that whole end.

Not from where I was sitting! To be fair, I was in the Top House in B/Hill watching and on another screen they had the WHU v Spurs game on with the commentary on full blast!!!!

Very, very loud at the start and end. Not so when we went 1 down and Reading scored!

“If Brighton score please don’t wake her up or land on her”

Very good, congratulations on missing your daughter's head

Brilliant read GB.

Hardly heard a peep on the telly. All the singing appeared to come from Forest but I guess that is down to where Sky had their microphones.

How on earth did you control yourself when Ulloa scored?

 

[Norman Potting]

"......night out in Colwyn Bay.....".

 

[Lady Whistledown]

The "tried to invade the TV" line did make me chuckle

 

[golddene]

Our rendition of "YOUR GROUNDS TOO BIG FOR YOU" went down very well in the away end, he he SEAGULLS

 

[Mowgli37]

Excellent piece of writing, always enjoy them. "...threaten anyone who cocked up in the second half with a night out in Colwyn Bay"

We watched this version of events on TV - didn't want to jinx it by watching a stream:

Matt Le Tissier suddenly goes mental when we score - then less than a minute later you get to watch them screech about the Birmingham equaliser, all in this clip. I never saw that second bit about Brum as we were screaming and jumping around the room at that point of course!
