    Don't think the ball will have left the players foot until it's at least in line with the head of '27'. Maybe later.

    Away from tedious VAR discussions, there's a lot of talk as to whether that was the best save ever. I've long maintained that Beasant's stop when Forest were 1-0 up against Birmingham in April 2000 remains easily the best save I've ever witnessed; it was a Banks effort, somehow reaching down to his right when the ball seemed past, and pushing it up and over the crossbar. I don't know if anyone else on here was there to witness it, but I've not seen better since. Of course, it wasn't in the PL, so doesn't count.

    The 'best'.

    Lol.

    Now there's a thick idea that people can get behind.

    I think most bang average is a better metric to debate.

    Most bang average Forest player of all time probably = someone like Steve Chettle.

    @Simon has written:

    Umpires call in cricket, though, is for decisions where they are projecting the path of the ball forward. They don't have it for line calls - pitching in line or where the ball hit the pad - those are regarded as fact.

    Thanks for repeating what I said earlier. (Yes, I know you’ve been busy)

    Forgotten about that. I Was there and I think you’ve underplayed it.
    Was it also the game Calderwood broke his leg?

    Yes!!! I was also there and thought the same!

    Anyone got a video clip? I just had a google but couldn't find one.
