Nottingham Forest granny tries to fight Coventry fans only for it to backfire

A granny who is see to be in a Nottingham Forest shirt has gone viral as she tries to fight Coventry fans only for it to backfire.

A video was published following the two sides’ Championship opener which was televised on Sunday as over 20,000 fans attended the much anticipated game.

The 27-second clip shows an angry woman get out of the car, only to then storm up a hill which is situated right next to the Ricoh Arena.

As she walks up to some fans staring at her, the car that dropped her off reverses, and then the woman is seen trying to punch the young lad in the privates.

It was a rather failed attempt as the guy slightly steps back from her, she then tries to grab his jacket in the chest area, again she fails.

The male backed away and his mate beside him then chooses to simply push the woman, who then can be seen rolling down the hill with a mixed range in age of fans watching from where the lads were, not trying to prevent them from doing so, but rather amusingly watched the situation play out.

An adult male can then be seen walking up to the Nottingham Forest supporter, possibly the driver of the car she got out of, he tries to tell her to come away from it.

However the granny ignored his calls and made yet another attempt to go in for more, again struggling to get up the hill, and then shouts at a lad who has seemingly walked away from it all with a steward then looking to get involved – the clip ends there.

MATCH REPORT

It was Coventry City captain Kyle McFadzean to the rescue as he hit home an injury-time winner to help the Sky Blues sensationally come back from behind to beat Nottingham Forest.

In their first game in the city since April 2019, and on a day when they paid tribute to club legend George Curtis, Coventry had a terrible start when Lyle Taylor’s first-half strike fired Forest ahead.

However, Swedish striker Viktor Gyokeres smashed his effort into the back of the net making it an 81st-minute equaliser in the hope his side could spark a late turnaround.

Then, six minutes into added time, Forest twice repelled goalbound efforts before defender McFadzean made it 2-1 by burying his shot through the crowd of players and leaving Brice Samba anguished at being unable to prevent the ball from going in.

WHAT THE MANAGERS SAID

Coventry manager Mark Robins: “It was a brilliant atmosphere from start to finish, but I don’t think we started well in the first half to do it justice, or ourselves.

“Second half we were really brave, on the front foot, tried to get the goal back, didn’t create a huge amount until we hit the bar and that seemed to give us a bit of belief. Then we went for the jugular.

“They seemed out on their feet, they’ve had some well-documented problems in pre-season, as we have, and you could see they had a few tired legs and minds.

“The lads that came on gave us a real lift in terms of their energy, and that was something we’d been lacking a little bit of. We thoroughly deserved the win – it was brilliant, and it was thrilling.”

🗣: “It’s brilliant to be back and I’ve got to thank the supporters because they were just magnificent.” #PUSB

Nottingham Forest manager Chris Hughton: “We ran out of steam in the end. Running out of steam is not just about enthusiasm, it’s about decision making.

“When they were in a little bit of a rhythm, we were tiring a little bit, they’re at home, and they took their opportunities. We’d look at it as two poor goals conceded, and I think if it’s earlier in the game, we wouldn’t concede either of those goals.

“That’s what happens. It’s been a tough last two weeks, I can’t fault the commitment of the players, and I thought for 65-70 minutes we were good.

“I think [Covid] will continue for other clubs. We’ve been good right the way throughout the year, unfortunately for us it’s been over the last couple of weeks. It’s about coping with it – you have to.”
