I reckon the "why" is down to a BBC journalist with a naughty sense of humour.
Everyone knows that to provoke a rabid reaction from a Forest fan all you have to do is use the word "Notts".
As to why Mackie - who knows.
Maybe it is just because he was our last acquisition.

I have a red Scouse mate. He says "Notts" all the time to wind me up. It is clearly the funniest thing in the world. He is after all a natural comedian so how could it not be?


(£1m for Mackie was decent business. £3.5m for Sako would not have been).

Most of the papers and the telly would refer to Forest as Notts Forest when I was young. If you think of it as Nott's Forest as in belonging to Nottingham then there's nothing wrong with it. (Try saying Nottm Forest as a shortening) It's not perfect but personally I prefer that shortening to the Tricky Trees nickname.

I am not that fussed about this
I have a sneaking suspicion that Cloughie would say Notts Forest on TV interviews.:handbags:

He used to when he managed the sheep. Whilst NOTTM Forest manager he used to say either Nottingham Forest or just Forest.
 
I've written to the Big Black **** organisation to voice mine to

Has to be 'The Reds' and nothing else for me - Tricky Trees sounds gay

Don't know why everyone gets so touchy about this. It doesn't bother me at all, and yes, i was born in Nottingham.

You`d think the BBC would know the use of the N word is not acceptable in todays society.
