    Forest loaned us Grant and Yates because they didn't need them for their first-team, but knew that match time at Notts would either develop them into stronger first-team candidates or put them in the shop window. It was a decision to suit Forest, which happened to help us. There probably was a friendly understanding between Warburton and Nolan to a degree, but Warburton has gone and now Karanka has his own ideas, and these are his players to do with as he likes. Clearly, we didn't have any water-tight, written agreement to keep them here, so it's simply a case of changing situations. We don't owe Forest any overwhelming gratitude for loaning the players, but they don't owe us anything either.

    Pierce Bird has just gone on loan to Alfreton and hopefully he will be a star there and become an integral part of their team, but it's the same situation. We've lent him to Alfreton because we feel it will be in his and our long term interests, and if we have a shortage of centre halves over the next few months we'll no doubt recall him, whether it damages Alfreton's first team or not. It's football business, pure and simple. There's nothing especially honourable or dishonourable about it.

    What really annoys me is forest should be a league 1 team, for 2 reasons

    1) last season stayed up because of the 3 points they got against Newcastle , who were unfairly reduced to 9 men, later overturned.Forest would have never got 3 points if it was 11 against 11, and been relegated

    2) A number of years ago when Forest actually were promoted automatically from League 1 in 3rd place, because Leeds united had points took off them. Forest would never have gone up in the play offs

    Twice they got away with it

    Last season I'm sure there were absolutely no incidents where poor refereeing denied us points - rubbish refs only gave us points didn't they?

    Leeds went into administration you idiot. How did Forest 'get away with it'?
    They are looooong straws you're clutching at.

    Congratulations dam617. I didn't think you would manage it, but you've finally hit the nail on the head.

    Can't argue with that. The video evidence actually proves he had his shirt on the right way round. In fact, after checking on Google he finished second in the 'Forest Mastermind 2017' competition. Apparently the winner not only had his shirt on the right way round, but he also managed to spell his own name correctly.

    So, let me get this right, you hate Forest and even if Kevin Nolan brings in more Forest youngsters, you are not going to accept them.

    So much for Jake Taylor, Elvis Otim, Alan Ahmedhozic and the others then.

    Far too much time wasted on those Karankas this week.

    Best way to deal with all this is to smash Lincoln tomorrow again. I thank you.
