Me too, not watched it since about a week after, but I recall Pipa most of the game being like Thorrington after he got twatted that time Haha, John says to let him know if the footage of that ever emerges. With regards to the match, I've no interest in ever watching another frame of it. Probably the worst match I've ever watched. The whole day was just shit from start to finish. Must admit, I deleted it as soon as I got back home and haven't seen anything of it since, apart from the penalty incidents when they came up on twitter or FB.

Then, the bus got impounded by the Police at Tibshelf Services and I walked through the front door at 4am on Monday morning. Not particularly enjoyable by any stretch.

It WILL be online somewhere but I couldn't even remember who it was against Cardiff at home under Wadsworth, and I've looked but can't find it. He said that they watched it on tape the week after and said it was weird watching it, but distinctly remembers hearing laughter on the tape from the crowd. Said it was like one of those canned laughter shows

You can’t argue that he’s doing a great job at Coventry. I was sorry he upped sticks and left Town - he was one of the few managers we have had that, when you first saw his sides play thought "well, this is different". Chris Powell on the other hand.... The switch from Robins to Powell was completely bizarre, club totally contradicted itself after saying they were trying to build on a defined playing style. Robins and Powell were like chalk and cheese! I actually enjoyed watching the Robins team, played some good stuff. Probably similarities between the departures of Robins and Corberan. I remember Callum Wilson absolutely destroying our defence that day, think it may have been Lynch who he brushed aside twice as if he were a small boy. We probably wouldn't have been quite as angry had we known he was a future England international!

But, yes he was pretty good that day, and I think he scored against us several times in the PL as well

Would respect that snake Corberan if he walked away for a more justifiable reason, like not being remunerated for the club opening a shop in the town centre. Not being remunerated for a shop that was Colin's idea in the first place, stolen by Terry Fishnets. I know it was his idea, so what? It's not like he was a genius inventor who pioneered the concept of a club shop. Loads of people have had bright ideas that have made money for others. Warnock put money first and let his relationship with the club break down over something ultimately really petty. Corberan left for footballing reasons, following the sale of key players and the lack of replacements. The way he conducted himself in doing so was piss poor. But swap their reasons for leaving around and Corberan would be the most unpopular man in Huddersfield

Corberan waited until pre season was underway before leaving. One gave us ample time, the other totally screwed up our pre (and possibly full) season. Plus it didn't help that he just happened to show up to a club owned by the same guy who owned the team that beat us in the final.

😂 Such personal remarks for a person you presumably don’t know. Alpha make bravado posturing. You only get one life. His budget was apparently being reduced by a third after he got us to within a couple of crooked decisions away from the Premier League. His star player sold with no prospect of a player of similar quality being brought in. He was on a hiding to nothing, I don’t blame him for leaving even if he did drop us in the shit. Warnock has walked away from teams before, including town! But you wouldn’t say he loses his bottle. Lots of people letting their loyalty to Town blind them from the situation Carlos was in. We had our chances to finish 2nd, but bottled it in key games. Including against Bournemouth, when we could have gone above them, they were in poor form until they arrived here and absolutely pasted us. Corberan didn't have a clue and we spent the game just smashing the ball up the field. Then West Brom as well, 2-0 up with minutes to go and we draw 2-2 (though I'm sure it's all the ref's fault again...). Go on about the referee all you want, but he bottled the final. Dropped key players that had been in good form and played the likes of Pipa who exposed us defensively. Also dropped Russell and Holmes who were playing really well at that point. Then with three weeks to go before the new season, he bottled it again by resigning. Even bottled the play-offs last season with West Brom when they were two points behind with three games to go and a game in hand. Bottled the Leeds job last season as well. Not personal remarks at all, calling him a fucking wanker is personal. Observing that he's been a big bottlejob during his short career is simply an observation. Warnock is irrelevant to the conversation, but at least he had the bottle to win the final and also clear up the mess 30 years later that was started by the big bottlejob resigning in the first place. You come across as swivel eyed on the subject of Corberan. I can only assume he didnt bottle the act of shagging your missus. 🤪.

Encountered arrogant Forest fans all day before the match, proper in your face and wanted to start with you, then the match, which was horrendous, then even more arrogant Forest fans afterwards. Then, the bus got impounded by the Police at Tibshelf Services and I walked through the front door at 4am on Monday morning. Not particularly enjoyable by any stretch. Apart from your husband's assassination, did you enjoy your evening Mrs Lincoln?

If he lived in East Leake (or worst still somehere North of the Trent in Nottingham - where they take being a "See you next Tuesday" to barely believable levels) then he could really moan about the day.... .....and the last 15+ months....

Agreed, the piss poor comment is about this, and his previous attempts to use resignation as a bargaining chip.

But swap their reasons for leaving around and Corberan would be the most unpopular man in Huddersfield I think the issue with club shop wasn't just the idea. He'd allegedly been promised that him and his wife could open and run a club shop in the centre. Town then back tracked and said they would do it instead. This would have been before he was a multi millionaire I guess! But the issue was he was lied to which he doesn't take kindly to! (Who does!)

Sorry but this sounds like bollocks. Where is that stated? Why would he leave it 3 weeks before a season starts to make that choice? Don’t get me wrong I don’t like what the snakey prick did, but we gave him that decision to make by not backing him at the time. I was never a fan of the style of football, but he got results. He deserved a bit of money to have a second shot.

Can't blame him. I don't suppose he was on a big wage, in footballing terms, here. He'd got a new owner that didn't appoint him, didn't really want the job and didn't want to spend any more than he had to any more.

As far as Corberan is concerned... David Hartrick has all the inside gen (according to his latest podcast), but he's not letting it out yet. He did intimate that it was very surprising and quite an underhand thing that he did.

And how appropriate the owner of Nottingham Forest just happened to have a job lined up at one of his other clubs, but keep it quiet Carlos because we don't want to pay any compo, although you can take your mate Pipa......3 months later they were both dumped by Stavros & its taken another 12 months for CC to rescue his stranded pal who's hardly played on his travels.

Apparently, he reckoned that he wouldn't have a better feeling than beating top of the league away from home and decided to resign. When he resigned in the Summer, he rang Hoyle up after Schofield was announced and asked for his job back only to be told by Hoyle that his job wasn't there anymore.

Would we have been in a better position if pride would have been swallowed by the chairman and he'd have been reinstated? The general consensus is that Carlos polished a turd, a squad devoid of decent players and had them playing consistently above their natural level/potential. Carlos was a tactitian and his decisions were usually right. He was a great manager for us. Following Town, you don't often get that feeling of looking at the opposition every week and thinking "we should beat these", and that's what Carlos gave us. That said, fook him.

I can't recall before a match EVER thinking "we should beat these" while he was in charge. I've never been more depressed watching winning football, which felt like a damn weird conundrum at the time and feels even weirder in hindsight, especially with the first few months of last season.

This. Nearly every game I went to. Yet when we'd secured the play-offs, we played Coventry away and Bristol City at home and we were excellent. Once he'd let the shackles off and let them play, we didn't look half bad, that was always my frustration with him.

Sorry but those last 2 paragraphs sound like fairy tales! When has a manager ever ... 1. Resigned because he beat top of the league away or 2. Resigned only to ask for his job back after someone else had been given it. Sounds like typical Town fan bullshit Chinese whispers, just missing the bit about him shagging the chairman's wife/daughter/son It was all very quiet on the reasons he left and the club never sought compo which seemed very strange considering how high his stock was, the length of his contract and how skint the club were. I cant think of another example where a club has just said, thanks, see you later to an in demand coach who was obviously leaving for a 'better' job.

Me too, it was bizarre! The winning bit was nice but it was never anywhere near as good as the Wagner season and not just because we lost in the final! Even crazier is I think we'd have gone up if it weren't for disgraceful incompetence from Moss and VAR. The game was panning out like many others that season where we looked quite poor but solid and we were looking more and more dangerous. I think if we'd have equalised with one of those pens we'd have gone on to win it.

He'd burnt his bridges. If it is true that he asked for it back, and sounds unlikely, there's no way I'd have given it to him.

Only repeating what I was told at the start of last season, believe what you want to believe.
