Modern football, where to start?
It felt like we had it all at Molinuex.
A Twitter row, sparked by Nottingham Forest's social media team, followed by an interminable amount of standing around in the second half as we waited for VAR decisions.
It wasn't like this in Brian Clough's day.
You wanted to know what he would have made of it all and suspected the reply might have been concise, situs judi slot online gampang menang to the point and unprintable. Then again, he might have said the same about Forest here.
Ruben Neves netted the winner for Wolves against Nottingham Forest from the penalty spot
Jose Sa then saved Brennan Johnson's spot-kick to secure all three points for the hosts
Both penalties were given after referee Thomas Bramall consulted the pitchside VAR monitor
First, let's deal with the social media spat.
Such is the endless desire to be noticed, liked, engaged with, Forest's media team decided to post a picture of striker Emmanuel Dennis cuddling some wolf club prior to the match, with the caption Playtime.'
All innocuous enough, until you throw it into a the heady mix of a testosterone fuelled competitive Premier League dressing room.
We were aware of it,' said Steve Davis, the Wolves caretaker manager.
We were going to use it in the [team] talk but I spoke to Ruben [Neves] and he had already put it in the players' chat. If you can't get motivated as a professional you shouldn't be doing I but that gave us a bit more of an edge. It used to happen on the pitch, that banter with the players.
Social media has taken over.'
It would be nice to say the final word was Ruben Neves' 59th minute penalty, which won the match but in fact that was Wolves' own tweet of an axe embedded in a tree with the caption Playtime's over,' to signify the deforestation that had occurred on the pitch.
At least they had the sense to wait until the end.
Neves' strike from 12 yards was only Wolves' fourth goal of the Premier League season so far
Caretaker boss and boyhood Wolves fan Steve Davis was taking charge of his second game
It was a damaging loss for Forest who have dropped to the bottom of the Premier League table
Adama Traore was heavily involved throughout and caused the Forest defence problems
Wolves meanwhile rise to 17th, with Southampton now in the relegation zone instead
