00:02Welcome to the Dell at Southampton, scene of this highly important First Division game,
00:07which Southampton must win and thereby ensure a place in the First Division for at least another
00:14season, and which if Nottingham Forest win, they may still have a chance, albeit a very slight one,
00:20of becoming the First Division champions. The Southampton side, Southampton team playing the
00:26Dark Shorts, have two England men, number seven, number ten, Melia, in the middle line of their 4-3-3
00:30formation.
00:31The man all eyes will be on is number nine, Ron Davis, the Welsh international, who despite Southampton's
00:37struggle against relegation, has been popping in the goals with amazing regularity this season.
00:43Nottingham Forest, all in white, are lacking their two main strikers, Wigdall and Baker, both of whom
00:50are injured, but you remember the last time we had Nottingham Forest on match of the day, the great
00:54striking part of number eleven, Ian Storeymore, who got a hat-trick in the six-round FA Cup game,
01:00and who will be going on the England Under-23 Tour. Division, 89 goals against them, and yet
01:06their forwards have scored 66 goals, and of the top eight teams in the First Division, only
01:11mentions two-mighted in Tottenham, who have scored more.
01:17This is Newton, the ground, very, very hard indeed.
01:24this is Nathan Maher, who has scored more.

05:56Forrest, top goal scorer this season.
05:59Forrest.
06:05It's going well.
06:08Back to Winfield.
06:12And the Forrest defense,
06:13stopped out in the line across the pitch.
06:18Hennessy finding Keir.
06:23Up front, Forrest.
06:24To make no impression on Southampton.
06:28Chivers to Emilia.
06:31Chivers again.
06:36Davis.
06:38Payne.
06:40With the ball just too lively for them.
06:45Looking at his watch.
06:46We have time for any second now.
06:48We're coming up at two minutes of extra time.
07:08Go to Southampton.
07:13Go to Southampton.
07:14And the whistle goes for halftime.
07:17Southampton.
07:18In the lead.
07:20Quite happily.
07:21They deserve to be.
07:23They played well.
07:24That's the better side.
07:25Against the first 45 minutes.
07:27And there is the goal scorer.
07:29Martin Chivers.
07:30Southampton well on top in the first half.
07:33They played very well indeed.
07:35Forcing Forrest into.
07:38Some.
07:39Most unusual errors.
07:46Knaps.
07:47Knaps.
07:48Knaps.
07:51Chapman.
07:55Knaps.
07:56Knaps.
07:57Knaps.
07:57Knaps.
08:05Knaps.
08:10There's more for Forrest, Newton is a wee bit slower, he's hurt, he's hurt and away goes Chivers.
08:23That ball was bouncing, bobbing up and down.
08:29And Newton is hurt for Forrest.
08:36Henry Newton going off, it was a strong tackle, he went for the ball with Chivers.
08:51And away goes Henry Newton on the stretcher and John Brindley
09:00takes off his track suit, comes on as a substitute.
09:06There's Henry Newton.
09:08And on comes Brindley.
09:12Obviously, you just couldn't cope with that ankle, it is.
09:23No, fun.
09:26Oh, penalty, penalty, must be a penalty.
09:30And the referee hasn't given it.
09:32Well, that would have been a certain goal if it had come through to Brindley.
09:41Well, that is almost luck that you need when you're fighting against relegation.
09:46One, four, three!
09:46One, four, four!
09:46One, four, five, five, five, five, five, five.
10:03Bongo, Bongo looking so hard at Ripfield for Forrest
10:12Throw to Forrest, Lions, number ten
10:28And more, Brindley, Barnwell, and his equaliser, Barnwell has scored, after 21 minutes of the second half, number eight,
10:45Johnny Barnwell
10:57Way come Forrest, going better now than any time in the match, Brindley
11:13Bongo for Forrest
11:21To Davis, Chivers, Amelia
11:28Payne taking over, or good ball to Amelia
11:33And he's getting that penalty
11:42Menesie looking shocked
11:55And less than a quarter of an hour to go
12:01It's good for the lifesaver for Southampton
12:07And Payne to take the penalty
12:10It's a good job, he's
12:12Good job that Payne is a bit of iron nerve
12:16Bromant must go back on his line
12:18He can't stand the yard forward
12:252-1
12:28And again the Forrest players
12:32Object to the referee
12:35But Payne
12:38Scores the penalty
12:39Scores the penalty that might keep Southampton in the first division
12:43Terry Payne
12:44Well
12:45It'll do even though it didn't go in the back of the net
12:59And away goes Hennessy
13:06And away goes Hennessy
13:17You would think
13:18That they have won the epic cup
13:21And the first division championship
13:22In fact
13:23As far as their support is concerned
13:25That's exactly what they have won
13:27By this victory
13:28And the crowd storms onto the pitch
13:32Congratulate their heroes
13:33And at least they make
13:35Very good and successful efforts
13:38To get the crowd back off the pitch
13:40And to try them
13:40Push the pencil
13:41They can't win
13:41That's a good point
