I was just thinking that last night looking at Forest in perilous danger of dropping down to League One.

But then you couldn't pay me to do them. Scab Bastards! (Which probably means nothing to most the young ones on here haha.).

Lol. There's certain L'pool songs mentioning Forest that I often think whenever they get an airing, a lot of today's fans must think 'WTF is with the Forest thing? We don't play Nottingham Forest like forever!'

Little do they know of that massive rivalry/ hatred from when they were our main challenger.

Derby's another one from down there. But at least they aren't a bunch of Scab Bastards!

*Calms.
 
I don't think standing is ever going to be a truly safe option. Emotions are high, you're up on your feet, it's much easier to throw a rock, punch somebody or do something stupid, then another guy does the same thing, it snowballs and before you know it there's a tragedy on your hands.

I've seen enough violence and danger in my time as a match going fan - and Poland in the 90s was no better than 80s England - to know that controlling the crowd is always going to be infinitely easier if people sit on their *****. Sad but true.

Not in the rail seats. That's the key difference. It's a potential snowball/ domino effect in seats as they are if something goes wrong and someone falls forward. Which is all the more ironic as there's not an away game that isn't the whole section standing. And many big home games to they turn a blind eye to 'safety' on when they want your support. The hypocrisy from clubs is beyond despicable. The rail seating is as safe an option as there possibly could be. You're limited in number to the number of seats on a row. There's space. There's the barriers in front of you so you aren't falling over chair backs around your ankles. The whole nine yards. Fantastic answer that's been tried and tested. They work.

Sadly, in England, ALL that matters is money. and when it comes to seats, they disgracefully hide behind the safety line. I can't see a return to any form of standing as they'd both have to charge less, and have to pay to convert areas of seats. But at least we're having the debate now which is something.

As someone who there but for the grace of God nearly lost his life on a terrace in something nobody should EVER have to experience and deal with, I'd have standing back in a heartbeat. Never once felt unsafe standing on the Kop. Had a few instances of going over the seat in front since it was rebuilt.
 
17:43KEY EVENT
Early team news suggestion
It’s obviously unconfirmed, but some City employees are suggesting that Gabriel Jesus will start tonight, which would go down a storm with supporters.

Jesus has only played five times but his popularity would rival some cult City favourites and starting him would be a boost after the weekend result.

Just as you thought Emre Can's stunner at Watford couldn't be beaten, Mexico weighs in with the goal of the past weekend!

Quality.

If they have goal of the month in Mexico then it will be quite the decision[video=youtube;J7vsxohTE9E]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7vsxohTE9E[/video]

Edit: and just as I saw it recently and it was in Mexico this is a 5 ft 7 44 year old goalkeeper heading in a last minute equaliser
