Oliver Glasner says in all of the hundreds of matches he’s played and managed, he’s never heard a more inspiring address than the one captain Ryan Yates gave to the @NFFC players just before they went out today.

Look. None of us are going to sleep. Might as well have a read. #NFFC – at Bingham, England
Nottingham Forest 3: 1 Manchester City.
Yep, that actually happened.
Some words on the whistle about the magical moments and how it almost felt like fate.

Piece is filed and probably out first thing. But if you aren't going to do anything more (and arguably far more extreme) than the last guy got hounded out for, off you pop. Because that was absolutely pathetic.

Good work. Real good work.

Vitor Pereira classy, dignified and kind as ever in his exit. History will remember him for digging us out of the dirt and breathing life into a group on their knees. He was humorous, he was bright and he cared. Staff, players and fans all felt the difference. Thank you. #NFFC – at Bingham, England

It wouldn’t take very long to put together a list of crazy Marinakis or Forest decisions but this isn’t one of them.
#NFFC are an easy target for lazy comments, and the same people would be criticising the club for not acting earlier if we’d got off to a bad start.

🚨🌳 Oliver Glasner to Nottingham Forest, here we go! Deal in place for former Palace manager to replace Pereira at #NFFC.
Glasner will bring key people from his staff and will be involved in transfer decisions.

🚨In the Forest PSR case, the Premier League submitted: "that the 50% discount suggested by Forest is too high: it gives too much credit for admission and cooperation and would be both disproportionate to the conduct being rewarded"
Yet in Chelsea agreed co-operation as mitigation for NO sporting sanction.

Small Prophets is the best thing on television. If you haven’t discovered it yet, I envy you. It’s the most uplifting, life affirming show I’ve seen in a long time. In a cynical world, it is a joy.

Chelsea have made it to the top through decades of cheating the World of football.
Now one of the richest clubs in the world, with a squad of about 300 players and a trophy cabinet filled with trophies all bought.
Should have been kicked out the game altogether.
A disgrace.

When it is argued, in various football disputes, that points deductions must be imposed even for inadvertent breaches, in order to vindicate compliant clubs, one has to wonder whether that reflects a genuine commitment to consistent strict enforcement in all cases, or is simply a position adopted for the purposes of a particular case.
Consistency is very important in sport - the lack of it can undermine public confidence in the integrity of the whole game.
I do not comment on any one individual case, I just hope that those involved in the decision making processes can see the merit in treating each case according to its particular circumstances rather than being inflexible in some, but very flexible in others.
That, I am sure, would help restore the confidence in sports arbitration we all wish for.
