This one still makes me laugh.

This weekend’s match against Barnsley gives fans the perfect chance to look back into the archives at one of the more bizarre moments in Forest’s recent history.

Our game against the Tykes from 2009 was certainly a dramatic one as we scored an injury-time winner to take all three points. And the club decided to put out a video of the match-winning goal that night, scored by Guy Moussi.

Moussi didn’t score many goals for Nottingham Forest, he only managed to find the back of the net three times. Perhaps that’s why he was rather over-exuberant in his celebration, which ended up costing him dearly as he was sent off for a second bookable offence after going into the crowd.

And it was that red card that was prominent in the mind of a lot of Forest fans minds as they reacted to the video.

Although the referee did admit afterwards that it was the wrong thing to do, I think the fact he did has made it a lot funnier in hindsight.
