Just a heads up, Madders. It's not 'that song', it's called 'When you're Smiling'. Cheers. 

It's great the club have started playing WYS, it doesn't seem like it's quite engrained yet - hopefully in a few years we keep adding a little facets to make the 'match day experience' unique to us

I liked how they turned the PA system off before the teams came out

I'm not saying you would, what I'm saying is you do see people purposefully hurl themselves forwards onto people all the time, they don't just fall. It was probably an idiot behind you.

Couldn’t agree more. The fake ‘limbs’ are beyond cringe. Just didn’t want anyone thinking that I was deliberately being a moron.

Anyway, I’ve message @cambridgefoxand he has beers on me for as long as he wants!

Thought the timing worked better last night. Finished before just before KO rather than after as previously happened.

I am the idiot in question. It clearly wasn’t intentional. Why on earth would I do that myself? I was knocked in the celebration but in reality it was nobodies fault but my own.

Believe me, the lump I have on my head today was not worth any ‘photos and hashtags’hello mate, I'm the old guy you swapped seats with, glad you're ok

Hello mate, I'm the old guy you swapped seats with. Glad you're basically ok, although shame about the trousers!

Last night was the best WYS we’ve done by an absolute country mile

I’m more upset about the trousers than anything! 😂

Forest fans sounded disproportionately loud on the TV broadcast mix in the second half. I swear I heard a moment when they raised their level when there was a lull in the home crowd.

I don't think TV ever does us justice even when we're good. Watched the highlights underwhelmed again.

The atmosphere yesterday was the best I have been to in quite a few years now - "forest get battered, everywhere they go....." was the highlight for me - seemed to play a bit of song tennis for a while between the kop and west stand. Great to hear!

But as usual it's a generic chant reproduced and recycled at so many grounds. I would have liked to have heard some of the old anti-Forest songs and chants, but then it's been a long time I guess. 

 

One for the unpopular views I guess, but the dreadful 'Vichai's dream' can get in the bin too. Cringeworthy. Faes may have other ideas, but we don't actually 'play from the back' and we ditched the 'counter attack' years ago. 

 

On the positive side, the atmosphere was like you say the best it has been for years, but that's also the Forest effect. There was a lot hanging on this...so who gives a shit what was being sung given how alive the ground felt. Precisely what we needed. Shame that the dreadful contrived goal music has to keep ruining the natural crowd reaction. So sick of visiting teams lampooning us over it and the piss taking online.

They only sang one song after about an hour. Deathly quiet otherwise! 

 

Media so far up Forest's arse it leads to this. 

Can tell they have to push certain narratives. Forest fans literally only sung to play up to this newfound reputation they're getting - it's extremely small-time.

 

I'd say fair play if their end was good before but it wasn't in the slightest.

They've got a year in the prem, they may as well enjoy it.

Goal music especially at full time was only negative for me. Just stopped the natural emotion.

Seems to come in far too quickly!

[Lionator]

It honestly felt like a bit of a turning point on Monday. Despite all the previous toxicity, everything felt very united.

I agree…now we have to continue getting behind the team. We sang for them, they played for us 

[Jimmy]

the goal music is a control measure, nothing more nothing less, its a signal to the majority its time to sit back down and be quiet when it stops

Yeah, it's a shame but if you're ever going to cadge that one it's when you're 4-0 up against your local rivals who are getting battered everywhere they go. In any other situation I'd have been rolling my eyes at it.

 

Pretty much every traditional anti-Forest song going was sung in SK1, including a couple of new ones too, throughout the game.

[HybridFox]

Bayern's can can music made me laugh yesterday though. That would drive you nuts over the course of a season 

 

Especially when you bang in the amount of goals they do

Must we really go over this on here again? As I pointed out, 'controversial' because so many seem to like it. Sigh. Righto -

 

1/ The fact that Sloop John B has been used from everything from the ubiquitous 'one of our own' chant to Jason Puncheon supposedly going for a shit, it would have been nice to have something novel and original to commemorate our deceased Chairman and arguably one of the most significant individuals in the club's long history. 

2/ The basis of it was appropriated from Wolverhampton Wanderers. 

3/ We neither 'play from the back' nor do we 'counter attack' - it only happens when very shit opposition allows us to. We have for the best part of a year and a half, employed dour possession based aimless football that has driven most of our fanbase to the point of distraction.

4/ What the **** is that dumb 'whoa whoa whoa' all about? 

5/ It's tired, it's tedious, it's dull, it's prescriptive and predictable and like that abysmal goal music, it's probably here to stay.

Sure about that? And to that I'd say, 'f**k off b******s, you're a c**t'

Yes, I am sure. Though, in fairness, the one you refer to wasn't. Unfortunately, it's only shorter, snappier songs that tend to catch on beyond the section, so that's all most will hear - doesn't mean they aren't given a good airing though. Like you, I'd love to have heard the whole ground singing our older anti-Forest stuff.
