Did amuse me that there were four pundits in the studio and, prior to the game, not a single one of them fancied us to overcome a team we beat 7-0 a few weeks ago! 🤣

Then again, one is an ex Brighton player, one is a Fester fan and one is a (failed) ex Derby manager. So what do you expect really?! 🤷‍♂️🤣

All I can say is that it was a bloody hard watch for the neutral.

Both sides seemed far more interested in not losing rather than winning.

Would have been better if they had gone straight to penalties at 5.15 and we could all have got on with more interesting things like cleaning the oven.

Fair do’s. I didn’t think it was a hard watch. I thought we had a few decent chances. But I had a dog in the fight, so…

A “last on Match of the Day” kind of a game? 🤣🤣

I was at the game yesterday and it wasn't the best of games.
Both sides had their chances and I thought brighton had the better chances.
I don't normally complain about refs but he spoiled the game. He seemed NF biased. Every time a forest player went down, clearly play acting, he blew up. They certainly conned the ref there.

I have to say though that I think Forest have the best defence in the Premier League. Along with their keeper. Really difficult to break through.

Pity Brighton didn’t play like they did in extra time they were better then.
But overall Forest were the better side and deserved to go through.
That first penalty you missed was a shocker very weak strike

Yeah, better at play acting, feigning injuries, then to jump up when they see it going their way.

I know, folk will say it's the modern game, everybody does it
Its just "Cheating" and spoils the beautiful game!

I am completely neutral and have to say that players on each side showed themselves capable of the most amazing recovery after apparently being seriously injured.

Agreed but Forest did it much more and with the help of the ref!

Like some salt with those chips?! 😉

I mean if the ref really was biased he wouldn’t have disallowed that penalty would he? Yes he was called to the screen but there’s no rule that says you can’t stick with your decision.
 
I’m reading that the draw for the FA Cup semi final takes place after the Preston Villa game (and before the Bournemouth Man City game).

If that’s true, why?!?!

Why not let the last game finish first?!
