It used to be here: http://carousel.royalwebhosting.net/...76.html#FwordA

The broken link there was the photograph of Fword's Sammy Chapman on his knees as the Notts players ran off to celebrate, not the video clip.

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?

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?

Arhh the 0 2 win on boxing day 74, Carter firing low into the far corner to seal the win, the beginning of the end really as Alan Brown got the sack after, Forest welcomed BC with a one nil win at spurs in the cup the following week.

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.

Great to see the headline again, but where did the full stop come from? We are Notts County, not Notts. County.

It's always bugged me on here - if you look at the banner at the top it says 'NOTTS COUNTY MAD', but underneath it says 'Visit Notts. County Mad', and in the dropdown menu of clubs we appear as 'Notts. County'. I might 'do a tarquin' and hit the complaint button!
