Forest Fans Yesterday.

[bricktop]

They sank to a new depth (if that is possible for them).

I went to Derby, enjoyed a few beers match before the match with a group of mates. Went to the match and met up with the said mates after and a Derby fan i work with, before heading in to Derby town centre and a few more beers in the Walkabout and watched the first half of Spurs v Man Utd.

We then headed back to Sheffield to meet a couple of more mates and the rest of the lads were having a night out up town whilst i was having one and then retiring home for the night due to having work this morning.

We got back to Sheffield at about half 7, and walked from the train station towards town, there was a group of Forest fans outside the Howard. We was not wearing colours and not out for trouble. It was just a group of lads enjoying a few beers without being lairy and looking for a fight with the nearest set of neanderthal creatures.

What happened was we walked past the group of Forest for them to let us past and then chuck a load of beer glasses and bottles at us, one of which very nearly took the back of my head off. We then legged it up the hill and another set of them came steaming out of the Globe and we legged it as quickly as we could away from them.

A couple of the lads i had been to the match with got caught by the forest lot and got turned over whilst the rest of us managed to get away, but the bottom line was there must have been about 50 of them knocking about in both boozers, and there was a group of 9 of us.

Its alright for them to fight with like minded individuals, but for them to go after a small group of lads not looking for troubles smacks of cowardice, and if i had taken the pint pot they threw at me on the back of my head then i would probably have gone down and been in for the kicking of my life there and then.

I have been around a long time, and i'm no angel but i leave the football aggro to the neanderthals but what happened yesterday plunged my opinion of Forest to a new low, and i genuinely feel lucky that i managed by the grace of god to get away from them.

And where was our beloved South Yorkshire Police, nowhere to be seen

W@nkers!

When we relegated them in 1993, I was walking back to the car afterwards and, because I had a Blades shirt on, had my drink kicked out of my hand. The police dragged me away to the van but this was to protect me. They had seen what happened. The tw@t that did it and his mates then had the cheek to say that I had thrown my can at them. The can was in the gutter behind me so it must have been like the 'magic bullet' that killed JFK.
This is nothing compared to what you lads went through yesterday but I have had an intense dislike for Nottingham (Forest in particular) ever since.

If I may re-iterate - w@nkers!

What annoys me more is the fact we in Derby all afternoon, on the beer and had a really good afternoon without a single scrap of trouble and mingling with the locals all afternoon, but when we got back to Sheffield we walked in to the that load of shit.

Mind you i bet they are all going on about how they did Sheff Utd and had ran them whilst they are stood in waiting to cash in their giro's on Wednesday morning

Sorry to hear about your incident Brownie. A cowardly act by the Forest lot. I'm sure they wouldn't have been as interested if it would have been a train full of United fans walking across from the station.

 

[judge]

if they hadnt bent over for maggie this country wouldnt be in this fucking mess

 

[dingledog]

I have a dislike of Forest and it sorrows me to hear of the treatment you and your friends recieved. I really dont think there is room for that kind of person in football, its just thuggery at its cowerdly best.

I hope your mates are OK. On a football note it sounds like Forest this season are as negative and annoying as their visit to Lane last season testified to.

 

[Ollessendro]

Sorry to hear about your incident Brownie. I echo DingleDogs setiments that I hope your friends are well.

I know there is a big rivarly between Sheffield and Nottingham (stemming from what Judge said) but attacking a small group of opposition fans is simply pathetic. It is as a you say a supreme act of cowardice and nothing short of low life bullying. Shame on them.

Nottigham is a rough old hole and they have simply brought their pathetic small minded mentality to Sheffield with them. This is the problem with these neanderthals from shit small towns (or city in Nottighams case). They have absolutely nothing to do and turn to violence.

Hang on !

Where were the famous OCS ? Pigs v Forest - when-R-wor-a-lad, it would be down to the home teams boys to see this mob off.

And, as someone says, where were South Yorkshire's finest in all this ?

Agreed, but we all know what a bunch of pussies they are...

Nick, if i were you I'd write to the SYP and ask them how this situation has been allowed to develop. I thought the premise of shunting away fans into those pubs was so that they could be supervised and escorted onto their trains. Indeed, when we played either Forest or Derby last season, the OB came into the Rut at about half six to round up stragglers and take them back to the station.

[SwissBlade]

Sorry to hear about this Brownie.

But i'm sorry to say that I could see some trouble coming.

What a bunch of cowards.

I'd send a copy of your posting to their club too - you deserve at least an apology from them.
