  There is the belief in the Nottingham Forest dressing room that they can still forge a push for the play-offs, says striker Nelson Oliveira. The Portugal international believes Dougie Freedman's side are building momentum, after extending their unbeaten run to 13 games in the Championship with a comfortable victory at Leeds. Oliveira's eighth goal of the season was enough to secure a 1-0 win at Elland Road on an afternoon when Forest might have had more goals. The on-loan Benfica player...

  Two years after their second European Cup win, the only two players left at Nottingham Forest of the 14 who had started one or other of the European Cup finals were Viv Anderson and John Robertson — and both had gone by 1984. Expensive signings like Ian Wallace, Peter Ward and Justin Fashanu were nowhere near the class of those that went and the touch that brought the likes of Larry Lloyd and Kenny Burns to the City Ground seemed to have deserted Brian Clough and Peter Taylor.

  David Ling has made a shock exit from Nottingham Panthers, citing family reasons for his departure. The 41-year-old forward had scored 46 points in 34 games in his second spell with the Elite League club and was in sensational form in weekend wins over Braehead Clan and Dundee Stars. However, an emotional Ling said he must reluctantly return home for the good of his family. "There are more important things than hockey sometimes.

More than 600 boozers nationwide - including Nottingham's own Raglan Road - took part in a synchronised pub quiz in an attempt to break the record for the world's biggest.

  Four goals in the space of just under six minutes in the final period helped Nottingham Panthers make it a four-point weekend thanks to a 6-3 road win at Dundee Stars in the Elite League. Corey Neilson's side came back from 2-1 and 3-2 down to claim maximum points for the second night running – having beaten Braehead Clan 5-3 at the National Ice Centre 24 hours earlier. And with Clan losing both of their weekend games – after going down 4-3 at home to Fife on Sunday evening...

Heavy rain had left standing water on the pitch in front of the Derek Pavis stand giving referee Darren England no option to call the game off.No new date has been set for the game, which denied Notts the chance to...

The game was very end to end in the first half, as I expected.We were unlucky not to go 1-0 in front with some of the play, plus the shot from Gary Gardner which hit the bar.I knew we could win. And when Nelson Oliveira scored, I knew we would go on to collect the three...

  The match day programme at Elland Road had, apparently, to be completely reprinted, in the days prior to kick-off, with the edition number '16b' on the front cover. While there are, it is said, no longer any seats within the famous old stadium bearing the number 17. They too have been relabelled with 16b. At the heart of it all is a curious superstition held by Leeds' colourful and at times controversial owner, Massimo Cellino, who reportedly has a morbid fear of the number 17. Those...

Tonight was pure no-frills American punk rock. He briefly introduced the band and congratulated Nottingham's recent UNESCO recognition but other than that the music was left to do the talking. A Good Idea and Changes started off proceedings – songs that are as melodic and catchy as they are jagged and ear-achingly...

  The Nottingham Festival Chorus's performance of Beethoven's Missa Solemnis was an heroic achievement - and by rights the city's bells should be pealing for them. So were they note-perfect throughout the work's 90 minutes of strenuous complexity? I think the performers would be surprised if I said 'yes'. But there is no doubt that they caught in both hands the spirit of the Mass and hurled it rejoicingly towards the audience. The Missa Solemnis is not just difficult to perform flawlessly. It...

  Dougie Freedman believes togetherness and team spirit was at the heart of Nottingham Forest's dominant 1-0 win at Leeds United. Nelson Oliveira's eighth goal of the season was enough to secure three points for the Reds, but they might have claimed a more emphatic win, with Gary Gardner hitting the bar, Robert Tesche spurning a golden chance and Eric Lichaj denied by a fine save. The result lifted them into tenth place in the Championship, as well as extending their unbeaten run in the league...
