Match Thread vs. Chesterfield 21.11.20 [NL]

[SlockyNCFC]

I also recognise that a game is 90 minutes long, which is why I rarely post on a match thread until the game is over because very occasionally it will come back and bite you on the arse. I remember many years ago when we were 3-1 down in an away game and a couple of posters were still urging positivity. One poster* said that if we got anything from the game he would walk to our game at Mansfield in his underwear. We did what we did today and scored two very late goals, and to his credit he carried out his pledge. Today poses as many questions as answers because from most reports it was a fortunate win, and Ardley and his tactics are still questionable. But just when we were resigned to defeat we managed to sneak a win against all the odds. Forest lost as well late on so the inquest can wait, tonight I can only celebrate big time.

* Does anyone else remember this? I can't remember the game or the poster's username, but I'm pretty sure his actual first name was Drewe.

I remember this - wasn't this in the old Notts County online chatroom? Google confirms the game was away at Bournemouth in League One in 2010. I remember being in the chatroom when it happened - in fact I think I had involvement in the promise being made! I think I said "I'll eat my thumb if Notts get anything from this game" and then Drew made his pledge in response. Then Notts made it 3-2and I recall Kevin Smith scoring a last gasp equaliser, which has to be the best thing he did as I can't remember much else. Cue near naked Drew on what I think was a charity walk to Mansfield. Credit to him for doing it - I still have my thumb!
