Nottingham Forest versus Burnley in the Championship on a January evening. The Forest fans have not had much to get them excited this season - but at least they have had one of the greatest laughs of the season.
Jay Rodriguez may have scored the only two goals of the match in Burnley's 2-0 win at the City Ground, but he will be long remembered (especially by the people there) for his penalty miss ten minutes into the second half.
Admittedly it does look as if he must have slipped just before striking the ball and the ball ends up slowly dribbling out of play closer to the corner flag than the goal - but it still produced the biggest cheer of the night from the Forest fans.
In the video I have cut out the sound from the professional TV recording but believe me when I say even with the sound the atmosphere still seems rather dead. Then we cut to an amateur recording from a Forest fan and in this you start to realise the true magic of being in the crowd at a live game rather than watching the same match on TV. The reaction of the crowd sums up brilliantly that feeling of the live game atmosphere - you almost feel like you are there when you watch it and laugh along with them. I would suspect even Burnley fans must have had a little laugh at this one!
