After watching last nights match, and to be fair Sheff Utd were very good tonight I think there will only be one result, and honestly I think Cooper deserves it for what he’s done.

I was just about to dust my "play offs - Nottinthem Forest" meme as well. Boo hiss.
Brilliant game to watch, better team lost on the night but that’s the game in the play-offs.
I did feel sorry for that Gibbs-White missing the last penalty. He was outrageously good, best player on the pitch by a mile.
I hope Forest win. A bit small minded from how far down we are in football's pyramid to think we are any competition for them currently. A Forest team in the EPL could also benefit Notts with loan players, so Come on you Reds.
Manhunt underway for the criminal who butted Billy Sharp to the turf afterwards.
Stadium security cameras should easily identify his distinctive yellow top and blue pants..
Fair play to Forest, they were easily one of the top three teams in the league from as soon as Cooper arrived. If only they’d given Agent Hughton more time, but he made his acts of sabotage far too obvious.
Looking at the situation dispassionately, there’s a huge void in the city centre at Broad Marsh that might have been the perfect site for a new football ground for both clubs. Never going to happen, of course, but I genuinely can’t see what they are going to put there. Given how moribund the centre is with fewer and fewer shops, it’s definitely not going to be a shopping mall.
I know Forest getting promoted wouldn't be good for Notts, but how much difference would it really make? All the armchair footy fans in Nottingham are Forest supporters by default. It has always been that way. When I was at school, all the kids were Forest fans apart from a tiny minority, but hardly any of them actually went to the games. Plus they're already filling their stadium.
I don't know a single Notts fan who would change allegiance or even be tempted to set foot in the City Ground unless we're playing there. If anything, this will strengthen our resolve. I get that it'll be harder to attract new fans, but in my experience, the people who support Notts are either a) born into it, or c) the type of person who enjoys supporting the underdog and going against the grain (in my case it's both). Nothing will change there.
Still, let's hope Forest lose eh.
