O/T:- Give them their due

[sidders]

What a terrific showing from Florist this after. Whatever we think of them they did themselves proud today. Cooper may well qualify as the ugliest manager in English football but he certainly seems to have fixed things over there.
No point being sour lemons about it - the better they do, the more chance that they will help us out with their up and comings.

They were impressive, especially in their intensity. All credit to them!

Big deal, we beat Leicester 4-1. Can't have been more than a couple of years ago, surely.

Steve Cooper looks like someone left David Platt's waxwork too close to the fire.

You shouldn't need your tin hat, it's fair comment. Steve Cooper has achieved a pretty remarkable transformation at Forest over the last few months and they've got every chance of making the play-offs and continuing to do well in the FA Cup. I consider our rivalry with Forest to be 'on hold' at present, because we're operating at very different levels. We've got to get back to competing with Mansfield first!

How the lad Spence from Middlesbrough is there I’ll never know, too good for that league.

The best bit not picked up on camera, was the Fox's fan who ran on and started punching the Forest players who were in a group celebrating a goal

Just noticed this comment on the BBC text commentary after Boreham Wood take the lead at Bournemouth:

Just looking at the stand with the fans of Boreham Wood. It is going off. It is nothing more than they have deserved.

Boreham Wood average 891 at home, have they 'done a Mansfield' and taken more away for a big game than they get at home?

Watching it now (it’s on ITV) giving a good account of themselves

I'm very much hoping Fword's cup distraction ruins their promotion push. They are away to Blackburn midweek. We once went to Ewood Park when they were top of the 2nd tier, we won 5-4 and moved up to 3rd and were in serious contention to join the the Busby Babes and Billy Wright's Wolves in the top tier, we ended up going on a cup run - losing to York in the QF's and finishing 7th, six points adrift.
Ah, the magic of the FA Cup.

I think it was about 50/50 the F-worders being good and Leicester being dire. Just how bad were high quality players such as Maddison & Tielemans? A really bad weekend can (and often does) get even worse.
