Went to a football (soccer) match to see Nottingham Forest play Barnsley last night. It was great! Forest dominated the first half but couldn't score. In the second half they struggled but scored in injury time at the end of the match to take a 1-0 win. The crowd went berserk. You couldn't have asked for a much better ending really.
Some trivia about Nottingham Forest. They are actually one of the oldest football clubs in the world being established in 1865. They were also the first team to wear red. They chose the colour Garibaldi red to pay tribute to Giuseppe Garibaldi a revolutionary leader at the time. Arsenal got their current colours from a set of red uniforms donated by Forest. At the start of the game and the second half the crowd sings Mull of Kintyre by Paul McCartney. But the words are changed slightly - "Oh mist rolling in from the Trent", "Far have I travelled, much have I seen, Goodison, Anfield are places I've been".
Of course we all lifted our voices to the universal "Referee's a wanker" after he yellow carded the winning goal scorer for excessive celebration. The guy already had a yellow card and had to leave the field with a red...booooooo! You suck ref!
