O/T:- Are we over-reacting to COVD19?

A low-res real player video capture was on the "Super Notts" website, sadly now taken down, it was sourced from a brief clip shown on a quiz show on the short lived "ITV Sports Channel" circa 2001. Still don't know where they got it from, but it'll almost certainly be just the goal that was retained in the vaults and not the whole programme (which would have had 20+ minutes of highlights and possibly a post match interview with Sirrel or Bradd conducted on the pitch).
The Fword documentary "I believe in Miracles" also used it on their trailer and presumably in the doc itself (I'll never watch it) to illustrate the state they were in pre-Clough.
The commentary goes "Scanlon against Anderson, good cross and here's Bradd (then just as ball hits the back of the net) with the winner, Les Bradd - 45 seconds to go."

Thanks for that UTM, really appreciate the reply. To be honest, they would struggle to find any 'highlights', because to the purist it was a really awful game. To a Notts fan however, it was sheer bliss. In those days I used to get the Midland General bus to Mount Street bus station and walk to and from the ground, and I've never had a slower walk back than that day. It was music to my ears listening to the numerous whining redbacks on the way home. At least my memory of the commentary is somewhere near!

Sorry to ask another question, but I also have a memory of a Football Post headline from a local derby which read "Notts supreme as Forest flounder". Do you know if that was from this game or was it another happy memory?

That was the 2-0 win (Bradd, Carter) at their place the previous season, 28th December 1974.

Thanks again. Strangely, I have more vivid memories of the 0-1 win. Probably due to a winning goal in the last minute when a dull draw seems inevitable seems to count for double!

Late August 1975 . Les Bradd. Forest had been all over us, which made it even more satisfying. I still have the Forest Programme, how sad is that.

Notts supreme as Forest flounder . Boy that brings back memories, I actually had that FP framed & it was on my bedroom wall for years,unfortunately it disappeared when I moved some 20 years back. On the subject of Les's last minute winner I actually stood in the East Stand with 3 schoolmates, we went completely OTT with our celebrations & 2 mates had lumps kicked out of them,happy memories.COYP.

Looks like pangolins illegally smuggled into China from Malaysia is how it hopped over to humans.

Well one of the possibilities. If you’ve seen the video of that wet market in Wuhan it makes you realise just how 3rd world much of that so called developing country still is. Dogs, bats, rats, snakes, pangolins, all on a stick, I’m surprised they’ve not started on Humans yet, or maybe they have?

The way some animals are treated over here for the purpose of mass consumption isn't a great look either. Saudi Arabia had to ban the eating of camel meat after the outbreak of MERS. We could just as easily frame this problem as being the fault of meat eaters. There are some scientists who believe Spanish Flu originated from pigs. "Swine flu is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza among the animals and can be transmitted to humans."

Yeah, I know mate, but that video really is quite shocking.

Not sure on the logic that says you're not allowed to take your dog out in the car. I take mine in the morning 3 miles to local fields out in the open and I haven't passed within 3 metres of anyone all week. Walked the dog round the streets to the local park today and passed at least 50 people along the way. Paths and pavements don't give much in the way of self distancing.
