Took me ages to get from London to Luton.ainly because they wanted to cram forest fans on to a train which caused the other trains to leave empty. Was nearly 2 hours waiting for the bugger. Then the barrier wouldn't open to let my car out... As for the games. A few questions I'll ask tomorrow...if I remember

[Lord Snooty]

Well the first question, jjamez has to be, why was Russell left out of the starting line up?

[WakeyTerrier]

Morning everyone.

Disappointed but not upset this morning, disappointed that we lost and even more so that we didn't even have a shot on target, when that happens you can hardly complain about the result.
I've not watched the game back yet but If the Ref doesn't think it's a penalty and neither does VAR then you have trust that it's correct.

More upset that Wembley increased it's prices on the beer from the weekend before

Sun 22nd May Non League Finals Day a pint of Budweiser cost £5.95
Sun 29th May Championship play Off final the same pint cost £6.85

Still the defeat gave us ample time to get back into London to collect our luggage and have a few beers and a kebab before getting on our specially organised train back to Wakey, first stop as well so we didn't have any Forest fans on board. Home and tucked up in bed at 23.55

Had to laugh, my train had about a dozen people in the front carriage and half of those had got on at Marylebone, yet the dumb stewards were trying to send us to the far end of the platform. After two stops there were 3 in the carriage. A few more got on at Banbury and Leamington Spa.

So, pints in the V&A Bar at Marylebone, £5.40, half of lager in the bar at Brum Station £3.10.

Only problem with Chiltern line is no on board catering especially when you get on at the stadium.

When you watch the highlights Wakey you'll find more than a few disagree with your thoughts on VAR.

[Lord Snooty]

When every pundit on TV, radio, social media etc say say we were robbed, you know that the officials haven't got it right.

One other thing they didn't check was the clear foul on Colwill. He was kicked on the back of his knee just as he was clearing the ball. They didn't even look at that either.

Hence why i say you have to trust the process, I've not watched it back. My initial thoughts were that it was a penalty for the foul on Toffolo but the other one I thought LOB went down far too easy, again they were my thoughts at the time.

Not a lot we can do about it now, VAR is here to stay rightly or wrongly but thankfully we won't see that ref ever again.

Anyway, it's a 3 day week for us this week and We're off to Munich on Friday for a short break and to watch England so I'll get a few beers down me and take in some of the local culture. Anyone been? any recommendations?

I've been to Munich but I'm no use to you as a pub guide. Apart from the hotel, I never went in one! It's a very beautiful city and very welcoming ... as all in Bavaria were.

Doesn't have to boozers, I'm pretty sure I won't struggle to find a beer. It can be anything of note worth visiting/seeing

[Baggievicar]

Looked like 2 clear penalties to me.
Gutted for you.

My nephew was watching in Brisbane. I was struggling for a phone signal but straight away he sent a msg to say stonewall penalty, even the commentary team said so.
I trust the VAR process as far as I can throw the bloke operating it.
