Thank you to everyone who has supported my #NFFC content throughout the season ❤️ A surprise opportunity came my way a few years ago, kindly passed on by a friend who believed I could do what was being asked. It gave me the chance to try something different. I enjoyed it so much that I decided to carry on, looking to improve and grow in confidence week by week. Like most things in life, I’m the first to admit I’m no natural. What I am, though, is comfortable getting uncomfortable. If you’ve ever seen me trying to put together a 90-second video, you’ll know I work bloody hard. Putting your face online, doing something for yourself and having an opinion on football seems to really get under the skin of trolls, haters and, at times, even people you thought were on your side 🙄 I’ve had it all - people mocking me at matches, questioning my motives and personality, even making nasty comments about my wife. Thankfully, she’s fully supportive and every bit as strong and stubborn as I am. We don’t give a shit, and we certainly don’t take it to heart. More importantly, thanks for the view or comment - it helps far more than it hinders. The reality is that I’m just having fun. I don’t do it to compete with more established or polished content creators. I’m rough around the edges, I wish I’d started years ago and learned how to make it pay. There was never a master plan or end goal when I made this part of my matchday experience. What never ceases to amaze me is how supportive people with good intentions have been. I’ve met so many good people, many of whom I now consider real friends. Every like, comment, repost, conversation online or in person is still incredibly humbling. It means a lot to a not so little boy living his unfulfilled dream. Once again, my sincere thanks for all the love and support. I’ll be back next season doing exactly the same - and more. This year, I took the trip I always wanted to make someday - I’ll have to fill that void somehow 🤷🏻‍♂️ All I want to do is talk about Forest and football. Not speculate or get caught up in the nonsense that surrounds it. I love the game itself - the tactics, the formations, the form. Hopefully, like the team, I can continue to put in some top-level performances, with plenty of raw emotion, passion and pragmatism along the way. You Reds 🙌

I spoke about my book…and other things. Have a listen.

Glorious final day, and a huge shout to @ohmistrolling for your efforts throughout the season (pls give them a follow) @ohmistrolling #nffc

It’s the place Forest fans want to be pre & post match. Chew the fat with mates, do Fothers quiz, have a decent beer (served quickly), grab some food & watch a game etc. Even if you are on your own, you are never lonely at the Nav. Always to be(er) here …. #NFFC

For those who buy @ohmistrolling you will have possibly seen did some articles throughout the season of our European journey. Thought i’d join the Substack hype as an amateur & pen an article on MGW/England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Any reads/feedback appreciated. reissnffc.substack.com/p/ang… #NFFC

These have been a great read this season, and it’s definitely worth #NFFC fans grabbing a copy while they’re Trent side this weekend. The WhatsApp group snapshots are perfect as we all have them and I’d guess you could go back and find exactly the same thing being said through the season whoever your group of mates are. The articles from @Battlemuch4WW and @desoldham were my personal favourites but there’s some great stuff throughout, and some of my ramblings in part two. As someone who still buys a match programme every week I’m very appreciative of fanzines, I try and pick up the odd copy from an away day as well, Sunderland’s this year was a particularly good read, and as the game becomes more plastic and soulless they’re definitely worth supporting if you can.

Sometimes I wonder if it’s time to stop my irrational hatred for Man U, that maybe I’m just bitter and maybe there is no big 6 bias.. and then decisions like today happen. Thank god #nffc are safe or I think I would’ve combusted. Appalling.
