Reports saying Marinakas has contracted Corona virus.
My question is, how longs the contract and is he better than Carvalho 😂😂.
10 Mar 2020 13:42:15
You seem not to be happy with anything from the manager to to all the players, yet you find it funny our owner has said he has the virus that has killed many people. ðŸ˜
10 Mar 2020 14:12:18
He was at the millwall game so I doubt we will be allowed to play at any level for at least two weeks.
Balloons you are a disgrace mate.
Forest fan who finds it funny our owner has such a deadly virus and was at the game.
Get a grip man or go and watch the sheep.

Just thought that there are different opinions on this virus. Did you know that over 14000 people die from measles every year and most have the opportunity to have the vaccine. Just how many die from the flu, a hell of a lot more, and many still refuse the vaccine. How many would choose not to have the vaccine against this new virus, very many l would think, so why the panic. What will happen to all the extra toilet rolls people have bought, take them to city ground and throw them on the pictch when we score. I assume the new vaccine will be available early summer . As for our owner catching it, could be a good ploy to postpone our games to get players match fit, he was at our Millwall home game.
10 Mar 2020 14:47:06
How many jokes, if you can call them jokes do see and hear about the measles and the flu 1951.
10 Mar 2020 14:49:54
According to the media Mr. M shook hands with every Forest player before the Millwall game, and with many fans outside before and afterwards.
Maybe it's a good job our U23 team are doing so well after all!
10 Mar 2020 15:13:28
Camb red not saying I agree with it but most jokes are based on the misfortune of others,
10 Mar 2020 15:25:29
C'mon, lads, it was a joke. And mildly funny too.
It's only flu for Jeff's sake. More people will commit suicide this year, or die in road traffic accidents. Stop buying into the panic. It's flu.
10 Mar 2020 15:26:28
To be honest I’m pretty surprised he didn’t wish carvalho had it rather than our owner. his hate for carvalho is threw the rope just because our owner splashed £13mill on him!
10 Mar 2020 15:26:50
I agree Stevie f. It's just a shame when some can't differentiate between humour and downright offense.
10 Mar 2020 15:27:12
Gotta say that i don't find it funny at all that our owner has this awful deadly virus and i for one wish him a speedy recovery. get well soon big guy.
10 Mar 2020 16:25:03
Sswe the hysteria over this coronavirus is ludicrous mate, I saw a woman carrying 4packs of 12 bog rolls out of a shop this morning, can’t get hand wash anywhere, it’s mostly whipped up by the Pratts at the bbc,
10 Mar 2020 16:37:05
Blimey the ballon really gone up this time ,a very serious issue with no humour I it to me but no matter how bad things are someone always makes a gag about it .

That was way below the belt.
People have died with the virus yet people mock those who have it.
I know this is a banter site but what was said was in poor taste and shows lack of any empathy and compassion to those suffering.
10 Mar 2020 16:41:05
Just to say, all the people panic buying, is the joke. Be sensible about this it's far from being endemic, epidemic, pandemic which one would you like to choose. I am not joking about this but l am with people's mentality and approach to it.
10 Mar 2020 16:58:15
Fff79 you obviously didn’t like balloons joke., I get that mate, but what’s all this go and watch the sheep cobblers,? he’s forest why would he do that?
10 Mar 2020 16:58:44
Whatever anyone thinks about the virus to say it is only the flu is odd, i have never known entire towns in any country being closed to outsiders because of the flu, and i have never known sporting events taking place behind closed doors over the flu.
I do not go out of doors with any fear but with so little known about it and some of the precautions being taken, even a football owner feeling the need to make public he has it i doubt it is just the flu.
10 Mar 2020 17:05:21
That's all well and good carlo as long as they can still make gags when things are bad for themselves too.

Nothing so serious as the Second WW and yet they can make a hit comedy series about the whole business.
10 Mar 2020 17:27:48
Bsered dads army, mash, allo allo, ( making fun of the gestapo ) the list is endless, all making fun of the most serous thing of all, war, think this is more about the bloke who made the joke than the joke itself, and if some on here have never sick jokes before, they must have led very sheltered lives.
10 Mar 2020 17:29:53
Spanish flu in the 2nd World War, killed more than was lost in battle. Viruses mutate, the human race develops immunity and we move on. People with underlying health issues are mostly at risk and should take precautions. The mass hysteria we are witnessing will solve nothing. Alcoholic hand gel kills bacteria not viruses, too many persons in the world.
10 Mar 2020 17:31:08
Oh and of course no one on here made a joke of a car crash involving the 3derby lads and drink driving, in which a bloke was injured,
10 Mar 2020 17:36:05
Trouble is they don't like it up um. I am in the venerable age bracket, and look at it rationally . I am not panic buying and not getting histerical over this. Stop buying into this, think! .
10 Mar 2020 17:48:57
Cambridgeshire Red - It's not the flu that has got towns in shutdown and sporting events on hold. The mass hysteria is doing that. People overreacting to sodding flu.
Give it 6 months and we'll see the figures and realise more people died crossing the road. Shambles.
10 Mar 2020 17:59:15
I’m not convinced a football banter site can ever be the platform to debate compassion, empathy, equality, respect inclusion etc . It’s almost counter intuitive . I’m sure RB didn’t mean to offend anyone, jokes get made about the news of the day, it’s just what folk do.
10 Mar 2020 18:12:25
I didn't 2 star. Its just a British thing. We've always laughed in times if crisis.
10 Mar 2020 18:12:50
Ok food for thought.
If any of you had the virus or you know someone who is old and in ill health with it how would you portray the post?
This isn't the place to debate, lecture or rudicule those who are suffering with the virus.
Yes a joke is joke but sometimes jokes are taken just that little too far.
10 Mar 2020 18:22:32
Fawazmark2 then we can’t talk about anything, because someone will always know someone who has suffered from the topic being discussed,
10 Mar 2020 18:27:02
I agree FM2. I'll stick to self deprecating. ðŸ˜.
10 Mar 2020 18:42:29
I’ve got a great idea, how about we end the thread here then now you’ve made you’re point so solidly? Anyway I’ve no time for this, I’m off to buy some loo roll.
10 Mar 2020 18:42:46
Red balloons I wouldn’t take any notice mate, it’s mostly sanctimonious bs, they laughed their arses off at keogh, Lawrence, and Bennet in a drunken car crash, that could have killed some innocent person, or one of them.
10 Mar 2020 18:56:01
Spot on mate ðŸ‘.
10 Mar 2020 22:49:34
I don't mind 2star if people want to debate those things on a football site; football is about much more than 22 blokes kicking a ball on a field and trying to get it between 2 sticks.

Bsered shankly’s quote is the most idiotic quote in the history of sport, football is a game that’s all it is, it’s importance in the real world is zero,
11 Mar 2020 07:21:04
Hey ed didn’t know the word 'idiotic' was now considered swearing 😊.
{Ed033's Note - Well, this 'political correctness' is out of control.
