This program is a 7 sports presentation.
Welcome again to Big League Soccer.
Today it's the first division match in the Canon League between Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa.
And then as we go to the south coast, the second division game between Portsmouth and Oxford.
And here we are treated to one of the most dramatic and nail biting finishes we've had on this program for many a long day.
So make sure you don't miss that.
Or indeed our letter spot either.
Today we feature a very happy 17 year old who makes a storybook entry as a substitute.
We, Scott, are the name of Pat Nevin of Chelsea and an emphatic win by Oldham Athletic.
First then is Nottingham Forest against Aston Villa.
Of course only a fool would write off Brian Clough and his chances of honours.
And indeed as Nottingham Forest side have started to make a quite significant surge upwards from the mid table position.
They've won five of their last seven games and they now stand seventh with a real chance against an Aston Villa team that has strayed dangerously close to the relegation area.
Little wonder when you realise that Villa have had only six wins from 21 games and they've had only one win away from home all season.
Well, they are visiting again now.
So let's see if they can improve upon that sorry record at Nottingham Forest where our commentator is Martin Tyler.
And the match, as I said, turns out to be a thriller.
Brian Clough has never shirked a decision during his ten years in charge of Nottingham Forest which he completes next weekend.
And today he leaves out his son Nigel handing the number nine shirt to Trevor Christie remembering the hat trick that Christie scored in Forest's five nil win at Villa Park in September.
Clough senior has also recalled Bryn Gunn to the centre of the defence with Chris Fairclough suspended.
Hans Segers has now established himself in goal and his fellow Dutchman Johnny Method is now settling to life in midfield in the English First Division.
Paul Rideout with four goals in his last two games was the one doubt for Aston Villa when he passed the fitness test on a groin strain 40 minutes before the kick off.
Colin Gibson continues in midfield with the man he replaced Gordon Cowan named today as substitute.
Referee Ian Hendrick from Preston is officiating at the City Ground for the first time.
Aston Villa then kick off hoping to obliterate a bad memory.
High goal humiliation on their own ground back in September still rankles with them.
They meet a Forest side here who have won both their games over the holiday period.
Away at Sunderland, home to the switch here on Boxing Day.
Alan Evans with the header.
The two have chalked up a couple of useful results themselves this week having beaten Newcastle, their biggest win of the season 4-0 last Saturday.
And then a Boxing Day draw at Sheffield Wednesday.
A little bit of form for both sides.
And starting the surface which is a real credit to the groundsmen here, Billy Gray.
Who does so much fetching and carrying on the right hand side for Villa.
Right out of the flick, he's in the path of Peter Wythe who has gone further forward.
Forest captain Ian Bowe.
Right of spink, back in Aston Villa's goal.
Peter Wythe dueling with Paul Hart.
That could be a significant result for the Newcastle side.
Peter Wythe dueling with Paul Hart. That could be a significant battle.
Hodge timing his run from midfield.
Well saved by spink who held his position and didn't commit himself in the face of Steve Hodge.
Hodge who makes a habit of darting through in threatening positions from midfield.
But spink is faster then.
Nigel spink out of Villa's first team for almost nine months with injury.
He's suddenly back into the role. That's even better than he would have hoped for.
And a paracel.
Peter Wythe of course going to the league championship medal with Nottingham Forest.
Dab and pull.
Gone.
And that's Hodge.
Good turn, Lost Gibson.
Gibson able to get back and make a second challenge.
But here's Wigley against Dorigo.
Sam Wigley has had to work on improving the quality of his final ball across the face of the goal.
He hasn't had the chance to show any improvement but uses Machinale.
That's Hodge in a real mismatch against the size of spink.
15 minutes played.
One real opening has come for Forrest.
Dorigo too far ahead of Walters.
Hart wants a goal kick.
The ball wouldn't oblige. He needed to show some talent in possession to clear the danger.
And Paul Hart has always believed in his own footballing ability.
A player who is strong in the air.
Both sides operating basically.
With players breaking from midfield as Gibson does, should score and does.
So just as Hodge got through and wasted his opening for Forrest, Colin Gibson passed along to the flick.
Went round the goalkeeper.
Capped his composure very well indeed.

In the 17th minute, Aston Villa lead.
Colin Gibson.
Totally believing in his future as a midfield player, but showing what variety he can give to Aston Villa when he switches there.
Gun letting fly.
Avon Porte.
He was on the side.
And now Walters.
Right out to his right.
And now a strong in the tackle.
Forrest has stuck into some sort of retaliation.
Certainly the supporters have really started raising their voices for the first time.
Watch trying to turn.
Watch trying to turn.
The
distance again in the clearance from Spenck.
He might have been held by heart.
Free allowing play to go on.
Watch who.
Restricted a little at the moment by his wide berth on the left hand side.
Well played by Gibson.
This is Walters.
Watch getting more involved.
Watch getting more involved.
Walters leading the throw.
For Dorigo.
Takes on the body to win.
Rekman.
Dorigo waving Walters away.
And a chance for right out.
And that's the sign of a goalscorer who is very much in form.
It's wide now in three games.
Taken with great aplomb.
One touch to control.
And the second touch.
Left Seggers helpless.
11 minutes from half time.
It's not in forest.
No.
Aspen Villa too.
Call right out with nine now this season.
It's equal.
And Peter.
Aspen Villa's traveling support.
Has fallen off in numbers with their poor away form.
But those who have made the journey across.
From Birmingham.
Must be delighted with what they've seen so far.
As Williams sliding in.
It really made things happen for Villa.
And the ball will be lost.
The hands up.
That's on his back.
Gonna have the free kick.
With.
The last touch was from right out.
For his throw.
That's on.
It's Christie's header.
They haven't quite dropped for forest yet.
Down the court.
Away by Gibson.
Burch.
Has it back.
Now Hogs.
Burch.
And it's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
It's in.
Davenport and by the post it's 2-1.
Davenport the scorer, but first watch,
did not meet the perimeter of the action,
really by his role and sigh,
and then met on with the decisive pass,
creating the goal.

G'day, George Dahl from Davenport, Bankstown.
And do we have a fantastic trading deal for you.
A new and used Ford's.
George, what deal?
I wish you wouldn't make promises without talking to me.
Look Ian, it's simple.
We do great deals on new Ford's, right?
Of course.
We're authorised Ford dealers, we're number one.
Yeah, and we've got the best used cars around, right?
I know, we only keep the best of our tradings for the used car division.
But that's my point.
Trade your Ford in on our Ford and get a special deal.
Actually George, I think we can do better.
Better than that?
What about all the people out there that haven't got Ford's to trade in?
You mean we give a great trading deal on any type of car?
Exactly.
In fact, we'll guarantee to give $100 more than any genuine trading offer,
regardless of what type of car people drive.
That's fantastic.
See, I told you you liked my idea.
George, go and water the cars.

It's all in TV week.
Here's your copy, Mike.
Thank you.
TV week.
The stars never miss an issue.
Four minutes from half time.
Much appreciated by Nottingham Forest.
Dale Ford, will he contain his composure?
And that's Spink with no chance at all.
So what a difference that could make.
And he's got the touch again.
Always using a player wide on the left-hand side of his midfield.
John Robertson had that role, of course, for so long.
Watchers.
Not a very effective attitude indeed, but Ripple perhaps in confidence away from home
produces another corner for them.
But only time will tell.
Much of a blow for its goal is to them.
Once again, the Leopold.
It all was beat.
Once again, it's Kristy.
The ball, take it.
We're going to have another corner.
Segas, just for a second.
The club can't certain that the goal dropped, can't be enough for them.
Done.
Ports.
Tilted in the back.
They're Williams.
Davenport, it turned beautifully.
And Spink.
The shot was perhaps delayed because Davenport just couldn't set himself.
Spink was able to snake out the left arm.
And gratefully ensure it would seem that Villa do go in half time leading.
At the end of a very eventful first 45 minutes,
Aspen Villa leaping into a two goal lead.
First of all, through Colin Gibson.
And then Paul right out.
But Peter Davenport giving Forrest hope.
With the goal that opened their account four minutes from half time.
Half time at the City Ground, Donny and Forrest won, Aspen Villa two.
Another breakthrough in Australian technology.

Their appetite for victory
Encouraged by what happened to them.
They were beaten five nil at home.
The result that even now they don't feel that they've lived down.
They were beaten five nil at home by Forrest early in the season.
And revenge is in the air for them.
Out by Hart.
Out by Dappenthorpe.
Christie was nudged.
Christie is still trying to win over the supporters of Forrest.
Coming here of course from their rivals.
Knox County.
The back heel was from right out.
A chance for Walters.
And Seggers was covering the near post.
Two months since Mark Walters last scored.
Coming this far swide.
And the angle was against him.
Walters then to take the corner.
Dappenthorpe denying Ormsby.
And Dappenthorpe with a touch for Wigley.
Dappenthorpe quick to see the possibilities.
Has gone beyond Wigley.
Here he is.
Boa.
Nice spot for this ball with Boa.
Nice spot for this ball with very quickly from defending.
The corner at their own end.
And they still have the ball with Swaite.
And he was just caught by right out.
To prevent the cross.
Boa plays the free kick short for Hodge.
Another very optimistic field for the penalty.
Dappenthorpe struck right out.
And any intentional use of a hand.
Hodge trying so anxiously to play the cross in early.
Complete miscue.
With.
Just come to his rescue on that occasion.
Dappenthorpe.
Down on the chest by Williams.
Gibson.
He was just too close.
His attentions.
Villa awarded the free kick.
Half an hour remaining.
Come through the first 15 minutes of the second half unscathed.
Gibson.
All his feet.
Now right out again.
He done the awkward thing.
Turning past the defender.
To his stronger right foot.
And he hooked the shot.
Still wide at the near post.
Waters.
Villa at times have certainly passed the ball in impressive fashion.
Relying their league position.
And McMahon.
There he is.
A move.
Of good, crisp passes.
And McMahon then took matters into his own hands with a dipping shot that didn't quite dip enough for him.
Colin Walsh is nodding in for a substitute.
Method.
All drawn towards that far side.
Dappenthorpe with an intelligent run.
The third is player left in pack four for us.
Fogler.
Dappenthorpe again.
Christine.
Trying to loop the ball.
Beyonds Pink.
Doesn't have enough velocity in the cross.
Strange throw.
From the extra-village goalkeeper.
And Fogler.
From the capital eyes.
Burch.
With the ball.
With.
Guided off cleverly as he's done so often for Gibson.
And Waters is onside.
And can't beat Seggers.
Now we can perhaps see the lack of fortune for him in recent months in front of goal.
Looking to make sure and too close to the goalkeeper in the end.
Filler had the opportunity then with ten minutes left to put the game beyond forest reach.
Mark Walters.
He scored two goals in their last away win at Stoke.
Couldn't beat Hanseggers.
Come on.
Gibson.
Certainly he would clearly either side deserves the score again.
It was Filler.
But here's Christie for Forrest.
And now Dappenthorpe.
He has been one really direct threat to the team.
And he's got the ball.
He has been one really direct threat.
Dappenthorpe who confines his work on the ball with his work off it as well to make openings.
And it was an inch or so too high.

G'day, George Dale from Dale Ford Bankstown. I'm just helping out at the used car division.
George, why the hose?
Well, with all the new Fords we've been delivering, I'm getting the best of our tradings ready for sale.
But you shouldn't be doing that. Why not?
Look, we've got great staff. It's more important you tell the people why we've got such a good used car reputation.
Oh, like, we ought to keep the best of our tradings to sell us used cars?
Of course.
We give great used car valuations?
Exactly.
We give full 12 months warranty with every used car we sell.
Right.
And with our finance plan, our customers don't have to make their first payment for two months.
By George, I think you've got it. And remember, we don't have to make a profit on used cars.
We don't?
Don't worry, George. What are you going to do now?
What's the rest of the cars?
Ha ha. Dale Ford, both sides of the Hume Highway, Bankstown.
Wiggly.
And really, it's down to the goalkeepers' miscue from the dead ball.
Hoge! Hoge!
Hoge easily steers the header away.
Hoge in possession is always problems.
And Hoge, fine goalkeeping.
For the second time in this game, Nigel is big. And there's Gorky, Steve Hoge.
Forrest do have possession.
There's a real war around the second round now.
Wiggly.
Here's Boja.
And that could collect. The moment earlier, they left the ball to each other.
And at the outset, it was a attack. Nigel's big.
It was the rescuer for Aston Villa, who came off his line so quickly to block Hoge's effort from close range.
And then spoken to, who was reluctant to retreat at the pre-kick.
Now, Met Hoge has scored from this position this season. And Kaka Khan!
Well, Aston Villa should really have known about Johnny Metto.
He got the last minute winner against Manchester United with such a similar effort.
And he lifted the ball wide on Spink with seven minutes remaining.
And Forrest having chased this game for much of it, now perhaps had the opportunity to come back from two goals down and turn that deficit into victory.
So the skill of the Dutch midfield player plays a part again.
Gibson.
So immediately, Aston Villa had a similar opportunity.
Segers has asked for four defenders in the wall.
Walters trying to mask the goalkeeper's view.
Now, for Met Hoge. Perhaps it's a case of reading McMahon.
Segers, for those well players, the shot, perhaps lacked the cunning of Met Hoge.
Gresty.
Davenport.
What's he given? Surely, is it a penalty?
I find it hard to believe.
I must say, I wonder too.
Gresty, the tangle there. And Davenport, in my mind, threw himself to the ground.
But, I agree, the protest had gone too far.
Spink spoken to, Evans as well.
Now Williams.
Aston Villa certainly aggrieved.
But Davenport entrusted with the penalty.
Now Nigel Spink, giving instructions.
Perhaps, or perhaps, McCarn has genuine knowledge of Davenport's penalty technique.
And he's got it past Spink.
And has turned the two-goal deficit into a 3-2 lead.
With two and a half minutes remaining.
Whatever the merits of the award, it's easy to admire in the coolness of Peter Davenport.
Aston Villa, who had their problems away from home this season.
And here have given surely one of their best away displays of the season.
Now have to throw body and soul into the last couple of minutes to try and rectify even a point.
And here's the late-up.
That's a corner.
And his life is still hoped for Aston Villa.
And he's got it past Spink.
And McMahon's volley.
Just scrambled away.
Desperately close.
Coming up with some salvation then.
Down to McMahon.
And Michelle hooked away by Hobs.
Well, they used to say about Liverpool that you never rule them out of a game until the last ball was kicked.
But certainly over time here at the City Ground, you could say the same about Nottingham Forest.
In this fixture, last year, Forest got a last-minute equaliser to get a 2-2 draw.
They've done even better here as we move into stoppage time.
And Marn Evans tries to remedy the situation for Villa.
McMahon, who hardly deserves to be on the losing side.
And Wigley.
And he's got it to stop his time playing. Villa continue to go forward.
Harked.
And he's far as Ormsby.
For a stick.
A free kick given, I think, against Peter Wyrd.
Jumping into Ian Boia.
Well, Brian Clough will always tell you that he doesn't have the best players in the world.
He doesn't have the capacity to organise them and send them out.
A line that just won't accept defeat.
And they have produced yet another comeback at the City Ground.
Thanks really to two goals from Peter Davenport, including the winner of the penalty.
And Villa will certainly contest given for a foul on Davenport and scored by Davenport.
Johnny Metard provided the equaliser as one of his speciality free kicks.
After Aspen Villa had roared into a two-goal lead through Colin Gibson and called Wydowd.
Maximum points for Boris so far and then three games over the holiday period.

Well, now on the program, it's time for your letters, and Eric Robinson, writing to me from New Zealand,
would like a little mystery solved.
He says he remembers a 17-year-old player who was brought on as a substitute when his side was 2-1 down,
and he brought about an amazing transformation.
Indeed, it was a story straight from the boy's own paper.
The missing facts are that the lad was Barry Venison, playing for Sunderland away to Manchester City.
This is how the story unfolded.
She's past, finding Cummins.
Again, Sunderland springing men forward, and Cummins used Hinnigan as a decoy.
And Stan Cummins, a bolt from the blue.
Seven City players in the Sunderland area.
Kevin Bond is one.
It's in.
It's Francis, and that is the 150th goal of his league career.
Francis is onside, and makes the count.
Hinnigan comes off, and 17-year-old Barry Venison,
with the play at the back or in midfield, gets into the action.
Barry Venison with his first touch, it's a good one for Cummins.
And Raoul.
Venison celebrates his part.
What a substitution.
Here's Buckley.
Sunderland might be a winner in the offing here.
Venison.
And he's done it.
It's a day that young Barry is never going to forget,
and he's now a fully-fledged member of the Sunderland side, I'm happy to say,
but playing more as a defender these days.
Well, Miss Caroline Simpson, who writes from Auckland in New Zealand,
is a keen Chelsea fan, also a fan, she tells me,
of the Kelston Boys high school team too.
And in particular, she loves the few examples of skill
and the exciting promise that we've seen so far on television
from Chelsea's little Scottish winger Pat Nevin.
Let's try and find a little bit more about young Pat
with our reporter, Martin Tyler.
London's Kings Road has been identified with Chelsea football clubs
since Stamford Bridge was swinging with success in the 60s and early 70s,
but you'd be wrong to see Pat Nevin as a perfect fit for that image.
Even though 21 years old and living in a bachelor flat close to the Kings Road,
his relaxation from the demands of First Division football
is a passionate interest in contemporary music.
MUSIC PLAYS
The first post-punk footballer, though, has a much deeper side.
Recently, he's been an imaginative contributor to Chelsea's official magazine.
His decision now to stop his column on a point of principle
is an indication of his strong-mindedness as well.
Intelligence and fierce determination also show in his play,
and many Chelsea fans liken the Nevin style
to that of another articulate Scottish forward, Charlie Cook.
And here's Cook again for Chelsea.
Oh, beautiful skills there at the far post,
and Robert's putting it away.
Beautiful skills there by the byline from Charlie Cook.
I think you really have to try and beat yourself more than anything else, you know?
You don't... No matter who you are, you don't really like living under shadow.
But I suppose he was a really good shadow to live under.
Have you had to work hard on integrating your style as an individualist
into the team play with Chelsea?
Um, not really. When I first came down,
the manager actually said that they'd try and build some of the play around me,
which means they'd integrate with me more than I'm integrating with them.
But, um, not really.
I think my game is possibly a little bit more than people seem to think,
just to kind of run about dribbling around people.
I mean, to be a professional footballer,
I have a position to play the East Edge, I've got more to do than that.
So, as such, I think you integrate with the fact that you do play the same game
as everyone else at periods in the game as well.
Where do you think you've got to improve?
I don't think there's anything particularly that I would say I'm happy with, you know?
Um, I think you need to be some player if you think you're perfect
at some particular part of your game.
There's certain parts of my game, I think, that let me down a little bit,
but I mean, that's the last thing I'm going to tell people on the TV, isn't it?
Pat Nevin of Chelsea.
Well, I've got to do something, I think, for the plight of George Pinchas,
who writes from Queensland in Australia.
He's an Oldham Athletic fan, and would you believe,
he complains that he's not seen the wind for 21 years.
I think it's time to put him out of his suffering.
What about this, then, from a couple of seasons ago?
It's a match that finished up at Boundary Park.
Oldham Athletic 4, Wolverhampton Wanderers 1.
And Wilde and Palmer have joined the end of the wall.
Ryan tries to find a way,
but he does in splendid fashion.
Atkinson doing the running.
Well, he was fortunate.
McDonagh, and now Wilde, 2-0.
A goal very much in the Roger Wilde style.
Hulikun gives it away.
Problems here, perhaps, for Oldham.
With Hibbett, who's found the range of his shooting and does so again.
And Bowden, Palmer, stopped on the line for Wilde, who puts the rebound in.
McDonagh, and Wilde, it's the hat-trick.
So a hat-trick there from Roger Wilde, and there's another one coming up in a moment.
You can help save some of our wonderful animals and a lot of our great outdoors from disappearing forever,
just by giving a little, when the volunteer from Operation Noah visits you on Sunday the 24th.
I ask you, have you ever seen a better cause?
Alice Lester, a 15-year-old writing from Harare in Zimbabwe,
who tells me that her father is a Charlton Athletic fan who would love to see a victory from that side.
So here we are then, some more goals.
This time it's Charlton against Hull City with that fun striker Derek Hales in hat-trick scoring form.
Colin Powell takes another corner for Charlton.
Again, floated in there.
A few hitters there, and Hales!
Colin Powell for Charlton.
To Hales.
Little touch for Hunt.
Powell again.
Long raking strike.
Powell has continued his run.
And Warman couldn't quite pick him up, but now he has.
Now he's gone past up.
And he's got a good cross in.
Oh, what a goal!
Hales again!
And now Hawley.
Fair little chip in there towards Galvin.
Well, are they going to get something? Yes, they have, right on half-time.
Five minutes to go. Peacock's going to take it.
Hales looking for a hat-trick.
Berry coming up fast from the back.
Sick of two defender.
It won't reach him.
And it's there by Hales! It's his hat-trick.
So a hat-trick for Derek Hales, and Charlton certainly seem to have quite a following in Zimbabwe it seems,
as well as young Alice's father.
And I know will also please another Charlton fan in Harare Gus Leany.
Just two main feature games on the program today, and that's mainly because we want to leave as much time as possible
for a match with a wildly exciting finale to it, the Second Division clash between Portsmouth and Oxford United.
And I have to show you this.
It's a lovely postcard from Shanghai Street in Kowloon in Hong Kong.
It comes from Barbara Maddell, who says,
This is a cry from the heart. Please, please put on Pompey. That's Portsmouth.
They're doing so well this season. This is for my husband Peter, she says.
A lifelong Pompey fan with my love.
For him, she says. Sorry, not for you. Oh well.
But I can tell you at any rate, both sides, Portsmouth and Oxford, are striding towards the promotion places in Division I.
So there was certainly plenty at stake.
And what an atmosphere there was as well at Fratton Park.
Some 22,000 fans there giving the afternoon an almost cup tie atmosphere.
And most of them enjoying a game they'll remember for quite a while.
We join the match at the start of the second half.
The first half had been a bit disappointing. We now build to quite a climax though.
Portsmouth are in blue.
Of course, goes at extra height for Oxford United at set plays.
So too does Briggs.
And Hamilton!
That was a superb save.
With Portsmouth slipping and sliding.
And Hamilton swung into the shot.
And brilliantly turned away.
Fingertips by Alan Knight.
Probably McDonald's always a character to look out for at set pieces.
George Lawrence mighting to distract the goalkeeper.
And Lawrence off the line!
By Kennedy.
And Lawrence a second time. Shot in and it's over.
Certainly the closest that Oxford have come.
Because this time they did beat Alan Knight.
Kevin Brock's corner.
And it was Lawrence who got the second touch.
Kennedy there by the post.
Tate.
Lawrence trying to get out some of the medicine he's been receiving.
Truick almost finding a way through the middle.
Hebbard.
Now Langan.
Aim for Hamilton and for Brock!
Oxford have scored.
Kevin Brock coming in at the far post.
At the midway point in the second half.
The deep cross from Langan was certainly aimed for Hamilton.
And defenders look for him and neglected Brock who squeezed it in.
So Knight is left to reflect.
The Portsmouth have yet again gone behind on their own ground.
It's happened so much to them in recent games at Fratton Park.
They've usually come up with a solution.
What can they manage here?
Webb.
Hardwick.
Beaten to it by Morgan.
The goalkeeper was fortunate that those around him were alert.
Portsmouth have a corner.
Hardwick was rushing off his line.
Blake on the near post.
McDonald with a good defensive header.
And he is a spring-heeled player.
Lawrence has lost his balance but Aldridge coming from inside his own half can take it up.
Kennedy pursuing him.
And Stanley!
What a chapter of events.
Gary Stanley who says that he put through his own goal when the two teams met at Oxford.
Although that goal has now been credited to Billy Hamilton.
But Aldridge was away and then Stanley almost chipped his own keeper.
Portsmouth to the south again.
Spoon the pattern for much of the game.
Taking nothing away from Oxford who have certainly played well.
Morgan.
Squeezes through to Byley.
Gilear.
Balls back.
Stanley.
And Blake.
Hardwick to the rescue for Oxford.
Blake operating now as an auxiliary attacker.
Portsmouth really just hoping that something will drop for them now in the penalty area in the late stages of the game.
The merest of contact from Blake.
Hebbett still full of running.
Pryor is of course an important one for Oxford United.
Will bring every drop of energy out of their players to hang on to this lead.
Similarly Portsmouth know that a gap will open up.
Three points past and by.
Stanley.
And weak cross.
Lawrence.
It's Oxford's turn to give the ball away.
Gilear.
Blake.
Now Webb.
Blake immediately down to the end for the cross.
And Byley.
It's come at long last.
Well Alan Byley is on the transfer list at his own request.
But those at the front end don't want to see him go.
And Alan Ball realizes that the pressure has paid off.
Two minutes remaining.
And Noel Blake playing now as a striker started it all off.
You could see Byley darting off into the middle.
The moment the ball reached Webb because he knew a cross was coming in.
And the glancing header did the trick.
And Portsmouth believe it or not have found the goal that they wanted yet again at the front end.
Jim Smith completely different emotions.
Absolutely furious.
Unless his side can regain the lead in the little time that remains.
A corner it is.
There's barely time for it to be taken.
And Byley's closed again.
Oh my word.
They can hardly believe it.
There's no way surely that Alan Byley will be allowed to leave Portsmouth now.
Two goals for him in the last two minutes.
Alan Ball absolutely drilled inside.
Keeping the emotions under control.
Byley sneaked it in at the near post.
A second header.
Well what a fabulous game that was and what a finish to it.
And indeed a great finish to both our matches today.
Thanks to Alan Byley of Portsmouth and that great free kick by Johnny Mechthoud, the Dutchman that set up the win for Nottingham Forest.
I look forward very much to being with you next week on Big League Soccer.
A corner it is.
There's barely time for it to be taken.
And Byley's closed again.
Oh my word.
Now Mechthoud has scored from this position this season and does again.

Hello there again.
Tonight in our series of Christian contemporary music we're going to be looking at Barry Maguire.
Barry was very popular in the 60s in one of the folk bands called the New Christie Minstrels.
After that he had a hit with Eve of Destruction, played in the musical Hare, and then became a Christian.
And he's here tonight in concert to share some of his musical gifts and his talents and ministry with us.
Let's tune in now to Barry.
Well I can finally hear the music, I guess it's just about time.
Oh melodies like raindrops falling each year and in rhyme.
And suddenly before me, every friend I've ever known.
Well I miss you so and have you noticed how much we all have grown.
Yesterdays are getting longer and our faith is getting stronger.
As I look back on ever where I've been.
I'm feeling like it's time we get together.
Yes it's time we get together.
Yes it's time we get together once again.
Oh once again.
Whoo!
I was crashing through the sunlight falling into city days.
Well I hardly could remember my country dreams and my country ways.
I saw my house was empty and I wanted to come home.
Well I miss you so and have you noticed how much we all have grown.
Well our days are getting longer and our faith is getting stronger.
As I look back on ever where I've been.
I'm feeling like it's time we get together.
Yes it's time we get together.
Yes it's time we get together once again.
Oh once again.
Whoo!
Do do do do do do do do do do do do.
You've been crashing through that sunlight falling into city days.
Tell me can you remember your country dreams and your country ways.
I saw my house was empty, Lord I wanted to come home
Well I miss you so and have you noticed how much we all have grown
Yes the days are getting longer and our faith is getting stronger
As I look back on everywhere I've been
Feeling like it's time we get together, yes it's time we get together
Oh it's time we get together once again, oh once again
Woo! Yeah!
Alright, well for those of you who tuned in a little late
My name is Barry Maguire and I've got about 27 minutes here to try and crowd in about 42 years of stories and about 35 songs
So here we go
I always thought if we could do that you know we could save studio time and everything else
Just go in and record everything in 45 and then when we play it slow it down
But it never did work out that way
Got a few songs, a few stories about places I've been and people I've seen
Here's a song that I started writing when I was 16 years old
Didn't finish it until I was 35, took 19 years or so to get all the pieces
Sometimes you know you've got to live a song before you can write it
I remember the first glimpse of this song came one afternoon
I was working on a fishing boat off the coast of Southern California
We'd been out to sea about 30 days or so, 32 days
And I was standing in the afternoon wheel watch
And I hadn't seen anything but open sea and dead fish for a month
And I was sitting up there just looking around and keeping an eye on the compass
And all of a sudden I saw something off the starboard side, break water out of it
What is that?
Grabbed the binoculars, there it is again man
And I started looking and here comes a dolphin, beautiful dolphin
It's coming right straight at the boat, I thought oh man it's coming this way
I really love dolphins, you know, and it comes swimming just right up, right in front of the boat
I mean right, those of you who've ever been out to sea you know
And spend any time on wooden boats, even steel ships
And here this guy was just swimming right along in front of the boat
Man having a big time, and I'm up there on the wheel house, I'm all like I don't know
I'm excited, the guy comes out of the cabin, I said come up here quick
He come running up, I run up on the front of the boat
And lean out over the front as far as I can
And I see this dolphin down there in the water, you know, it's too far away from me
I can't tickle him, anything, I can't get him
I'm looking for a stick, a broom, and there's nothing, oh, dish towel
Back up on the front of the boat, I'm tying this big knot in the end of the boat
And I grab a hold of the stay, and I got this dish towel
Out of the water, just for a little breath of air
I'm waiting for him, boom, I give him
Boy he's never been hit on the head with a dish towel before, you can tell that
Man he's swimming around all nervous down there
And the water is so clean, and he's down there just whoosh
Over his flipper at me, you know, what was that?
Hit me in the head, in the water he goes and he drops back under the boat, he comes right back
Thanks for watching!
