| 1. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 20:18 Currently on STV; Forest have just equalised to make it 1-1. I didn`t realise ex-Hibs, Celtic and Scotland defender Gary Caldwell was manager of Exeter and has been since 2022. Reply |

| 5. Author: CitizenPar Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 22:07 Exeter down to ten men and playing two up front. Reply |
| 6. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 22:16 Going to extra time; as well as Reece Cole there are quite a few Exeter players with experience of Scottish football - Josh Magennis, Jack McMillan, Angus MacDonald and Jay Bird. Reply |

| 8. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 22:40 red-star-par, Tue 11 Feb 22:20 Would that have been John Bird ? Curly hair could be a clue ?  It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Post Edited (Tue 11 Feb 22:50) Reply |
| 9. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 22:51 Didn`t Jay Bird get sent off when playing for Arbroath against us after fighting with a team-mate? Reply |
| 10. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 22:56 Penalty shoot-out. Exeter have been excellent even after going down to 10 men, especially considering their recent League form has been poor. Reply |
| 11. Author: Raymie the Legend Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 22:57 Raymie the Legend, Tue 11 Feb 22:40 Born in Milton Keynes, so perhaps not ? It`s bloody tough being a legend Ron Atkinson - 1983 Reply |

| 14. Author: Berry Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 23:14 One of my pet hates when discussing football is when fans and commentators refer to penalties as a lottery…it’s genuinely nothing of the sorts. There was no doubt in my mind that Forest would win on pens. Fair play to Exeter to get that far against a team on form! Reply |
| 15. Author: The One Who Knocks Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 23:39 It`s a lottery in the sense that even the best players, some of the greatest ever players, have missed from twelve yards out in penalty shoot outs. Messi, Ronaldo, Baggio, many others, all missing in major finals. You`d have felt as confident as you did tonight that Forest would win that those three players would have converted from the spot when the pressure was on yet your confidence would have been misplaced. And although my eyes were open They just might as well be closed Reply |
| 16. Author: wee eck Date: Tue 11th Feb 2025. 23:57 I think the pundits were right in saying the Exeter goalie would not be intimidating enough being 5`10`` and slightly built compared with the Forest goalie who filled the goals. Reply |
| 17. Author: Big T Par Date: Wed 12th Feb 2025. 06:43 wee eck, Tue 11 Feb 23:57 How big was the Queens Park goalie? He looked equally as diminutive. Reply |
| 18. Author: wee eck Date: Wed 12th Feb 2025. 08:58 Fair point, Big T. Maybe it was just that he had to face up to five pens and the contrast with the Forest goalie was so apparent as they changed positions each time. Reply |
