Al Habsi former reading goalkeeper signed till end of season ,he is super fit 37 years old and wil keep both Johnstone and Bond on there toes says goalkeeper coach Walsh.

That is the startling figure that most reputable political analysts refer to when one listens to many of the political sound bites that are uttered from the mouths of people who are intent on "getting their way at all cost" to activate Brexit "in the name of the people" OR to force "the will of the people"!! Add the fact that the three devolved countries of the UK do not share that Brexit vision either!!! We've listened to this shit for well over 3 years and it has become even more extreme from various English RW sources to literally subvert a democratic parliamentary process, in one case even killing an innocent Labour MP (albeit by a political RW extremist/nut case) called Jo Cox (and yes, the antagonistic language from various MPs and others was a factor - that murder "shut them up" for a wee while eh!!), and then we had the mass intimidation of people in various forms and the subsequent polarisation of the country that will never be reversed by the current fascist UK Tory govt of Johnson and his other undemocratic right-wing shit heids who actually don't give a sook for anybody but themselves and their own narrow, divisive political ideologies. A case of f### democracy and we'll shut down parliament with the role of the Queen in this charade rightly being questioned by millions of people throughout the country!!! What the f### is going on in a country that not that long ago was not perfect but still "ticking over" regardless but IMO with the wrong British govt in place and the political ideologies and electoral system so "out of place" and outdated for a UK that was supposed to be "pushing on" positively into the 21st century. Also reflect back to the likes of Germany in 1932 when Hitler and Goebbels decided that democratic governance should be "ditched" and righteous RW authoritarian governance imposed for the good of the country!!! We couldn't even hang these murderous bastards as both committed suicide before we could drag them to Spandau Prison before a quick trial and subsequent execution for crimes against humanity!!! Look it up, Google it, and be afraid!!! Government and true democratic values are being hijacked "under our noses" and it should be challenged - IT WILL BE CHALLENGED IN THE TRUE NAME OF DEMOCRACY!! IMO it is a "watershed moment" and I pray that common decency and appropriate action by decent honourable people prevails against "forces of evil" that I have never seen before on this island in my life time - Thatcher's period of rule, albeit horrible, will not compare!!
I've added Gina Miller's swift move through the Supreme Court to counter the disgraceful suspension of parliament and it looks like she and her legal team were well prepared for this moment as were Scottish opponents who are active in the Edinburgh Court of Session. Note Gina Miller was another individual subjected to months n months of death threats and abuse from the same kinda extreme individuals who want Brexit to happen and that is totally unacceptable in a civilised society but unfortunately this country is "full of it" at the moment. I honestly believe there should be another referendum to formalise leaving or having the choice to remain - that should be a democratic right for every British citizen bearing in mind the enormity of what is being proposed. Sadly this democratic right is being suppressed by people who clearly do not want that referendum to happen and will stop it "at all cost" with any kinda rhetorical shit that they can dream up and even lie about if necessary!! The referendum vote of 2016 has been well n truly reversed and yet these RW imbeciles still wanna "push us over the Brexit" cliff on an old vote that represented only 36% of our population and was effectively a "split vote" anyway!!!!  It wasn't 70%-30%, it wasn't 65%35% - nothing like it - political skulduggery of the highest order and we should be challenging it BIG TIME!!!

LAST MEETING
NOTTINGHAM FOREST 0 PRESTON NORTH END 1

LAST TIME OUT
PRESTON NORTH END 2 HULL CITY 2

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 3 DERBY COUNTY 0


A lot of incomings for Forest this season Jeninson and keeper Samba for well over a million, a couple of free Adohmah and Amoebi but the one interesting one is Bostwick on loan from Toulouse. Once hailed as having a bright future he gradually worked his way down the leagues before going to Toulouse obviously Lamouchi has kept tabs on him could work out well for Bostwick.

One of my favourite away trips to the City Ground love the stadium and the area for being a sporting bonanza, results wise we have won the last two be nice to make it three difficult task though.
Barkhuizen, Clarke and Hughes likely non starters, cannot see many changes from the Wednesday game although Harrop for Barkhuizen could be an option.
Sold about a 1000 so decent support.

[b]LAST MATCH



Well we left it late as we seem to do at Rotherham but we got the job done thanks to Nuhiu. Bullen (or Carlos as Imre likes to call him) made 9 changes from the Preston game and unsurprisingly we didn't look good in the first half, both teams had some half chances but the score-sheet remained blank. We made 3 changes as the 2nd half went on and we started to look better. But we had to wait until the 96th minute for Nuhiu to grab the winner from close range. We were "rewarded" with a home tie against Everton in the 3rd round.

THE MATCH



Back to the league and we host QPR before the boring international break. This lot beat us on the last day of last season. They have made a decent start to the season and are lying 12th in the championship. They are managed by Mark Warburton who has previously managed Brentford and Rangers. They have the likes of Nakhi Wells and Jordan Hugill in attack. Be surprised if they finish anywhere near the playoffs but you never know in the Championship.

having just bought a first ever season ticket
have i done the right thing?

This could be a "tricky" fixture on a 2-0 1st leg score line but I expect Celtic to "weather the storm" and progress to the Europa League group stages. Neil Lennon will be well aware of a challenging league match 3 days later v Rangers at Ibronx and it will be curious to see how he will try to "juggle" things around in order to target that massive game on Sunday!

If you do your predictions after these specified times, they will not be accepted.

Weekend games 12 pm
Midweek games 7:30 pm

Just a reminder that you can use your    on any fixture, but its not compulsory!! Get it right and you will score double points but getting it wrong will result in -2 points, so the reward and risk are there for all!!

was on the cards to be honest

sad to see a community and their fans losing their club
as i said in a previous thread
why didn`t those greedy premier league clubs and those "oh i cannot live on £350,00 a week" players
offer to help out?
please don`t tell me they could not have donated at least some of their over inflated wages to help out
i guess expensive houses and flashy sports cars are more important
i know its not the premier league`s fault this has happened
but for them to have at least offered money to help out wouldn`t have hurt

gutted for the Bury players and all connected with them

This is a league match that I am not looking forward to at all and I wonder how many Hibs fans share similar sentiments after watching weeks of a manager who doesn't appear to know what he wants from a Hibs team that always seems to be unbalanced and defensively weak! As said in other threads, they are also dull and boring!! That has to change quickly. The Steelmen are a decent footie team that also has a physical dimension to it which I fear Hibs can't handle. The first thing I'd like Hecky to do is PLAY SCOTTY ALLAN IN HIS TRUE MIDFIELD ROLE AND GET THE BEST OUT OF HIM!! It maybe too soon but I'd like to see the return of Ryan Porteous in a quest to shore up a defence that is losing too many silly goals. Try to strengthen our full back positions and, more importantly, lets focus on setting up a balanced midfield formation that is effective and can consistently compete collectively throughout a game. Is Hallberg fit enough to start this game?? Lets play him if he is match fit!! We desperately need to get the midfield "ticking over" properly!! Whether Hecky is the man to solve these pressing issues is anyone's guess!
