Forest 1 a:a 0 Leicester

Nearly 6,000 Leicester fans descended on the home of football for what was clearly their cup-final, to be met by nearly 10,000 Forest fans, a sizeable turnout for a game of this kind.

It would have been nice to send the Leicester fans home with their fox-tails between their legs and as the first half kicked off, it was clear who were the better team.

Forest continued on from their good form in the second half of the Dirty Leeds game, and when they took the lead mid-way into the first half it was no more than they deserved.

It took Leicester 40 minutes to get the ball over the Forest goal-line, such was the dominance.

But there are times when football pales into insignificance.

I came back fairly sharpish to my seat early in the half-time interval to see one of the Leicester coaches frantically gesturing to the paramedics sprinting up the front of the Main Stand. A couple of minutes later and the whole of the Leicester team came out on to the pitch, clearly shaken. A quick call home confirmed that there had been a medical emergency in the Leicester dressing room.

Despite the tanoy announcements that the kick-off would be delayed, I was never in any doubt that the game wasn't going to continue, and was already at the top of the stairs when Colin Calderwood announced that the game had in fact been abandoned.

Holding on to my lads hand on the way out, it becomes all the clearer as to what is actually important in life.
