If you have to be born stupid to become a referee, does that mean that all referees are born stupid?

EUROPA   play off (home)   February 26th 2026
  Nottingham Forest 1 (4)
    CHO 68
  Fenderbashe 2 (2)
    Akturkoglu 22, 48 (pen)

Forest began like a house on fire, but the roof never quite collapsed and, despite its being a charred and rickety mess, the house is still standing.

There's a lot wrong with it though. Somebody said Forest should have started with its A team, finished the tie off, then brought on the subs. The trouble with that idea is that the A team seems equally incapable of scoring goals. Anderson and Williams shot wide, Jesus and Hutchinson shot at the keeper, only CHO had the guile and composure to finish the job.

At least Mister Vitor should be recognising a few home truths. Lucca and McAtee are a waste of ink. Morato is scary, Murillo does not know what left back means, and the back line should not be messed with. And they need to run through some serious scoring-under-pressure scenarios in training.

Whether the house will still be standing after Brighton, we have no idea.

Meanwhile...
