Doesn't seem to work, just says it will begin shortly

Hopefully this ages well...

Getting pretty annoyed about Jander to be honest. He's arguably our best player and losing him for multiple games at the start of the season is going to have an impact on our results. It's so important that we get him back as soon as possible.

Only fair to have the result changed to a default 3-0, if not entirely expunged from the records. Now, who was ref for the Leicester game...

Playback of the press conference is here

Couldn't spot Leo or Larin in the training photos and videos.

Drumbeat

I was hoping he'd go to Leicester, where Martin would start him, and under who he did really well. Financial troubles, but a player who is such a good fit, it seems daft not to try and sign him. Of course, Will may look at the chances of Russ still being there in 2 months, and realise he'd then be trapped in L1.

Multiple decisions were suspect. The second red was unbelievable, and later rescinded, for all the good that did us.

Smells like it to me. Anyone know if there's been a bust up behind the scenes perhaps because he was refused a transfer? That is what often leads to these ongoing 'injuries' that never seem to heal.

I just read back though the match thread for the Utd game to refresh my memory on the refereeing decisions and, yep, the whole thread is peppered with reactions to 'suspect' decisions. The goal we were denied when 'only' 4 nil down was particularly dodgy IMO...

That seems pretty daft to have a deadline before the transfer window closes....

Seems to be a genuine injury to be fair, but agree its odd as he keeps being close then having set backs. No proper pre season for him, going to take some time, we play Wrexham on 19th Sept then no more games until 11th Oct vs Pompey so that has to be the aim now realistically

What actually is wrong with Jander? Seems like he's constantly having set back, this is what the 3rd time now he's been close but then had another set back. Is it transferitus?

Always get Sancho, Ramos, Benzema and Mahrez, they're all without a club as well

Probably turn out some of the "add ons" to his transfer fee included champions league appearances

It was at 8 this morning, there's stuff in the OS. Jander has had another setback, the new CB has travelled but sounds like he'll be on the bench.

Not that i can see so far.

Probably won't get to play in the CL this season after all that. Given it was specifically one of the reasons he moved to Villa, i suspect he's quite disappointed - a bad start to his villa career and relationship with the club. I still have my doubts its going to prove a good move for him (other than for his wallet), but i hope it goes well and we see him shining for villa and england in the future.

If a football club can take direct action over a rivals PSR spending breeches (Burnley/Everton), then there will surely be clubs looking at the impropriety of the referee's behaviour during a season where they where relegated with a small points margin. We live in the now retroactive punishment day and age. I think there's a serious case here. Just imagine you find the game where he hasn't blown for a foul in the first ten minutes, even when there's obvious infringements. And then it turns out to be, lets say Swansea V Southampton 2018. Just imagine how you would feel losing that game, and then subsequently realising the ref was 'playing a game' to amuse himself. I'm really struggling to get my head round this. If nothing else, I hope it ends his little limelight shit show. But I think this needs looking into. Hopefully Middlesborough are involved.

Let's MLG , MLG. 😀 How do you know Forest expect him to get regular game time? If he turns out to be a Mason Holgate he will get returned to Forest. He will have to earn his place in any squad.

The gullible will blame the "establishment"

Donnie says that because we didn't help with Iran, ( help he said the US didn't need ), the US is reconsidering it's position on the Falklands and might well side with his BFF Milei.
