Champagne Moment Champagne moment V Forest

Champagne moment V Forest

Several fun moments highlighting the collective realisation (across the crowd, players and coaching staff) that we have clocked the insufficient standard of officiating and that we are no longer accepting it.

The cheer from the South Stand when we finally got a throw in given our way on the third attempt during one passage of play, and the North Stand forcing the ref to move Munoz to the correct spot for a throw in

The Hickey pass probably trumps the lot though.

Thiago having a dig at McAtee looked fun as well.

Janelt's pass late in the second half under severe pressure. Flicks it with his left foot to one of our defenders (van den Berg?) and keeps possession just as Forest were trying to force a goal and make it a nervy last few minutes. #touch

On a slightly different note, ‘We’re the Right Side, Middle, Left Side Ealing Road’ across the West Stand was brilliant this afternoon!
That was good fun, and I joined in despite never having sung in Ealing Road (was usually a New-Roader). Another party-popper moment was PG’s announcement of the first goal!

I think he said something along the lines of ‘I don’t know who scored, but who cares!’ Absolute classic!!!

Quite a few already mentioned, but it was nice to see the first goal credited to Milenkovic, very ironic after the recurrent hugging/holding/pushing/strangling of Thiago on every long ball. Amazing that only one person could not see that in the entire ground, the one who was supposed to call the fouls!

Vitalys flicked nutmeg on Wood towards the end was great, but the best thing today was Florist allowing us to play against only 10 of them with a 50 million quid black hole upfront.

There was a great bit of skill from Damsgaard in front of the East Stand on about 80 mins as he switched feet to completely fool the defender and keep the ball in play.

I enjoyed a couple of others being dusted off, as well. “Down with the Foolham” was sung with gusto, but “Say hello to Rangers” is always a personal favourite…

Pre-match: Seeing a ‘lucky’ black cat upstairs at The Express Tavern (obviously influenced the deflected goals in our favour!)

Match: Hickey’s Eriksen-like inch perfect cross field pass.

Pete Gilham's announcement, after our 1st goal. Went something like:
Brentford 1 nil up and who cares who the goalscorer was.

Damp squib moment. No trains back home and out of Euston, due to signalling issues around Camden.
Decided to go too Marylebone train station. Got the slow train to Birmingham Moor Street. Walked from there to Birmingham New Street. Then train to Crewe, where my car is parked.
Should've got home for 8.30pm. Will probably get home by midnight, but at least we won.

I was singing "Say Hello to Derby" after they sung it at us the first day of last season.

Meeting @North London Bee on the train over was a prosecco moment, him asking me if there were two florist fans sitting opposite us, my confirming I thought they were and him replying "f***ing w***ers" popped the bottle as it were, proper champagne moment 😁😎
Lovely to meet you too Paul. - another proper North London Bee!

Yes, McAtee wanting to have a go at Thiago but clearly coming to his senses and bottling it was quite funny. Some Barbet / Saiz vibes with that one.
