O/T:- Florist vs. Ipswich FA Cup

[forwardmagpie]

Gut feeling, Mansfield. I think the only time I?d want Forest to lose is if they were playing Notts.

Those that ?hate? Forest, did you complain when Notts had Grant and Yates on loan? Did you wish ill of Forest when their fans were collating money to help keep Notts in existence?

Probably a generational thing, but I think the last time I ?loathed Forest was when I was at Primary School.

Yes I still loath them and I?m happy they never mention their donations kept the club afloat.

I dislike Mansfield and loath F****t

Same here!!! Talking to a Painter over here just last Saturday, couldn't get over how much I hate them with a passion

Judging by some of the posts here, if we did ever play them again the half and half scarves would do a roaring trade.

Rivalry is a key ingredient to maintaining my emotional engagement but I don't feel anything for Stags at all, I'm quite content to see them do well.

I've never known the gap between Notts and Fword to be this wide and that will probably be the biggest factor in my being the least bothered I've ever been about Notts and football generally, next to the 2020s effect of VAR, behind closed doors and the politicisation of the game. It's only for old times' sake that I still take an interest in how we get on, the unfolding history, but it doesn't seem to be going anywhere. I've now got access to watching Notts at home and away but I usually get distracted into doing something else. I very much doubt that would be the case if we were in the same division as Fword or if we were in tier 2, but I'm bored stiff with L2 and it's thoroughly depressing seeing them being relevant again whilst we slop out in the lower leagues interminably.

Agree with you apart from the Stags bit, it's horrible being a division below them as well.

I'd take Florest losing over Mansfield any day

Exceptional post UTM.

The real problem is that Notts seem to win so few derby games.

Not really. I don?t see any benefit in Forest failing. Ideally it would be good if both teams do well, just as it was for Manchester when both teams were successful.

To be honest, it?s probably good for Notts, Forest selling out every home game although I?m sure there?s some on here that would rather the clubs sharing home crowds of 20,000 rather than 30,000.

This. I've said it before, if I could pick 3 results every week first would be a Notts win, second would be a Forest defeat, third would be a Mansfield defeat.
