Same vague one as Scotland sadly, if you've got the money you're in, and if you have 41 tax convictions you can buy the then defunct Glasgow rangers. Known as the fat & protestant person test at the time I thinkQuote:

I don’t know anything about the Forrest owner but his charge onto the park in the recent home game v Leicester he was heavily criticised by the media which was said afterwards had nothing to do with the result , performance but more a player’s safety who ended up in a induced coma needing surgery .Quote:

Neville's been pretty open and honest that he failed ah Valencia, he doesn't claim to be a top manager. He atleast have it a go though unlike some pundits.Quote:

He's got pretty much the top job in football punditry because he's the best IMO.
That Forest owner is a complete head case, Sky should just tell Forest to get stuffed and show a different game instead. Neville is an excellent commentator and his overlap show is the best football show there is.
No but he acts as a pundit in his criticism of other managers like he has been a top manager even though he was a failure.Quote:

I thought the same as Neville in fairness at the time but I was wrong . I don’t remember Neville admitting he was wrong . Understand where the chairman is coming from regarding Neville on this occasion.
I'm not sure the fact he didn't do well at Valencia means he can't have an opinion on players and managers. As a player he he played at the very highest level for over a decade, he clearly knows the game.Quote:

I agree he’s a million times more qualified than anyone on here but like us all he can still be wrong on occasions which he is sometimes and on this occasion I think he’s totally wrong in condemning the chairman and telling the manager to quit .Quote:

What was this valid reason?Quote:

I don’t think Neville’s failed managerial stint should have any bearing on whether he can criticise others. You don’t have to be good at something to know when someone else isn’t doing it well.Quote:

Neville’s entitled to his opinion on this, as Forest are entitled to ban him. I know which one I think is petty and vindictive.
Agreed. I've never been a professional boxer but I can tell you Tommy Fury is ***** compared to Tyson Fury.Quote:

Not sure if it would be better or worse for us in terms of getting Triantis if they won or not?Quote:

It was suggested at the time it was due to the performance / result which triggered the chairman’s reactions but that NOW doesn’t appear to be the case in it was a players safety that was the issue. I think Neville jumped the gun on being overly critical when he didn’t know all the facts ! Totally in the Forrest Chairman’s camp on this .
The funniest thing about forest is their owner diluted his share in the club in preparation for champions league football (due to also owning Olympiakos who've qualified).
Since then they've completed **** the bed and sitting 7th
Nowt wrong in what Neville said imo. He seems a bit of a loose cannon and an all round dodgy character which i think Nev is starting to call out and that's what's causing the ban
Why does it kick of at 15.01?Quote:

I like Gary Neville and am a bit of a Forest fan, on this one I think Neville took a fire, aim, ready approach and is now in the Mikey Stewart camp of not being able to be wrong.Quote:

I wouldn't have banned Neville but a wee bit of humility goes a long way sometimes.

Aberdeen going to back 3 (or 5) for the first time this season.
Desperation or a masterstroke?
See if this goes to extra time or pens and we have £5m and Europe to Xmas riding on it 👀
Ok thanksQuote:

Pundits are employed to give their opinion, right or wrong but you cant go banning them because you dont like it, especially someone as fair as Neville is. :rolleyes:
