I would guess that depends on what beer they serve ?

Good point. I may have to visit both for some test drinking.

I’m old enough to remember Nottingham in the top league ( equiv of current Premiership ) when they played at Ireland Avenue.
They supplied a number of internationals - but were always, effectively, a nursery club for Leicester.
Unfortunately my team in recent years was Worcester Warriors ( even had a season ticket ) went the way of several clubs - no longer an entity.

Rugby Union has struggled at club level since the advent of professionalism (I mean officially of course). I prefer XIIIs as a game in how it is organised and certainly it is a better watch. No doubt the RU games like Scotland v France are a great occasion, but in England it's the posh boys from the posh schools at the lower levels and I don't like the politics or the spectacle (check: usually there isn't one).
After WW2 the XIIIs game was officially banned in France because it was played mainly in the south where the communist resistance was strongest ('Allo 'Allo). That's not the case anymore and the XIIIs game is well supported and thriving at a local level.
I was talking to a guy at work the other week. He was from St helens. he went to a grammar school there and played RU, yet the school was five minutes walk from the St Helens XIIIs ground. Class warfare in action.

You need to watch it again.
At first look it appears to be a poor touch, but just happens that as he is in the act of controlling the ball someones foot kicks through the back of his. It's irrelevant whether there was sufficient force to bring him down because the important thing was Young kicked Reyna and in doing so impeded his ability to controlthe ball in the area. And throughout this nobody has denied it wasn't a foul just that there was insufficient force to bring him down which is effectively the bit after the foul play.

Just watching the first half of the Chelsea/Spurs game and, in the middle of the pitch, every touch from behind, hard or a gentle caress, results in a very obvious collapse of stout party and a free kick. Around the penalty area, apparently you need a JCB to shift someone before it's a foul.

However, Clattenburg’s presence has courted controversy amid a series of key decisions that have gone against the team. There is a worry that his involvement and Forest’s decision to seek such guidance from an ex referee has angered the PGMOL and, as a result, has had a negative impact.

Well shock horror, how could anyone have possibly seen that coming
Mark Clattenburg QUITS as Nottingham Forest's referee analyst
CRAIG HOPE: Mark Clattenburg has resigned from his role as an advisor to the Nottingham Forest board after admitting it had become 'more hindrance than help' to the club.

Feel sorry for him really, I think he has been bullied out of it by Neville & Co. Must have been tough mentally for him to receive such abuse for simply taking an honest job.However, Clattenburg’s presence has courted controversy amid a series of key decisions that have gone against the team.

Kind of proves that the PGMOL are a bunch of corrupt bastards really.
The decisions definitely got worse once Clattenburg was hired.

Everyone admitting the PGMOL definitely do hold grudges then and that that is completely fine apparently.

Give it 12 months and Brentford or Brighton will have someone in a similar role and will be lauded as revolutionary and forward thinking.

Exactly the above. As we all now know, Neville etc. are just mouthpieces for PGMOL following their cosy chats, so it was clear PGMOL weren't happy and wanted to teach us a lesson.

Absolutely, for me what sours it more is that little know it all Mancunian cock will believe he is right.
Hes not, he's still a cock and PGMOL are now proven to be inept rather than it just being in our opinion.
I think he's taken one for the team in truth, we may well be getting fined for our X post but to separate this from our psr points rebate he's taken the bullet so we look like a compliant EPL member....for now.

This, if Clattenburg's presence had any effect at all, either way, then the PGMOL can't be properly impartial.
I don't think we've helped ourselves at times but the lack of scrutiny of this whole sorry affair by the media is telling.

They'll build an algorithm to prove the ref's are shit and be hailed as genius.
I don’t like the fact that pundits like Gary Neville can make an individuals job untenable. I know he has the Gladiators gig but he might have needed the income we were providing. Wonder how Neville would feel if influential people in the media called for him to lose his job…
I quite like that statement. In a reasonably subtle way it suggests that the officials haven't been giving us decisions because of his appointment, which sows further seeds to suggest potential corruption. The rather less subtle dig at Neville and his Premier League gestapo mates at Sky Sports is an added bonus.

Either that or they'll buy in five 13 year old referees from South America who Chelsea will then appoint in 10 years time for mega money.

I mean its not that negative imho, essentially we have verified that Steven Reid was fully correct in his description of Anthony Taylor!

Club painted a target it on it's back starting a war with the PGMOL and it's allies, most of which are in the media.
It'll calm down when they get new victims, but this isn't surprising in the least.

Throwing yourself to the ground has no impact on the action though does it? Decisions aren't, or shouldn't be based on reaction but the action itself, and he was kicked.
The only question is did he kick him because he planted his foot and if the answer is yes then cancel 50% of fouls dished out this season. If that happens anywhere else, or for a a top 6 club then its given, every day and twice on a Sunday.
You see, I'm old school, never a penalty, never a handball BUT they have set themselves a precedent now, they have set the benchmark themselves. The fact that non were given totally contradict the precedent that they have set and what we have seen this season, you cant just keep changing those protocols weekly or to suit a scenario.
They are wankers, end of story.
