Tarkers Pick-n-Mix

[Tarkers]

Having joined PON in December as a refugee from another site ("not my fault Guv....I am innocent"), I was concerned that I might lose my Notts forum connections and become a Syrian refugee stuck on the Macedonian border.

After 16 people said "hello Tarkers, tell us about yourself"......I thought I might have stumbled across some weird Dating Site for Notts supporters, though only one, @GrannyPie, offered any hope of cosy midnight chats with the fairer sex.

Luckily I spotted a few familiar names, @DangerousSausage, @Elite_pie and @Piethagoram, so I thought "what the hell" and dived straight in.

Three months later, PON has become an integral part of my life as an ex-pat, Weather forecast (slightly pointless, hot and sunny every day), News headlines, Facebook (just to check all my kids are still talking to me), e-mails.....then PON.....MY daily 8am ritual.

My views on PON are a bit like the two pics I attach, one is a "chicken bus" in Cuba and the other is the exec coach I took to the airport to catch the Cuba flight.

PON is the exec coach, calm and serene...all mod-cons, tv screen and cup-holders, free hot and cold drinks and toilet paper in the toilet!

So why add the next pic of the Cuban "chicken bus" I hear you cry?

Because as more and more people join PON and add to its vibrancy, things might get a little noisy!....and I also loved the crowded, jostling intimacy, the informality...the sense of being part of something bigger, something growing.

Yes, we can still have the hot and cold drinks, but someone might spill your drinks....and the toilet might be crowded!

So I applaud @Super_Danny_Allsopp for sticking his head above the parapet and sniping at @erindoors.......a bit like all the noisy schoolkids on the "chicken bus"!

After the defeat away at Plymouth, a result that was about as predictable as the Mexican weather (Pretty warm, hot or very hot), Notts now find themselves looking over their shoulder at the York and Daggers points totals.

Anyone who even mentions the play-offs again should be made to hand over their credit cards, to stop them buying those instant weight-loss pills that guarantee you will lose 50 lbs by tomorrow.....it ain't going to happen, so stop dreaming!

Luckily both of the above-mentioned teams stink and surely Notts can beat the stinkiest one on Tuesday night, despite losing to the other,  fairly recently.....we are about to find out!

The last two matches by Notts offer some hope in avoiding the dreaded drop into the 5th division....and matches against Bromley and Barrow next season!

Despite giving Accrington a 3-goal start, 2 matches ago, JF finally decided that it was time to start pretending to be a football manager.....and use his subs.

This shocked Accy, and by the time they had recovered from their surprise, Notts had scored a couple of goals and were threatening a comeback that was last equaled by a guy called Lazurus sometime before Notts were even born....a very long time ago indeed!

The miracle never happened, but there was a ray of light that JF took into the Plymouth game.

Obviously as I have said...we lost that one too, but only by 1 goal....when several people, including me, were predicting a score resembling England Rugby v 15 fat guys from Bilsthorpe Miners Welfare.

So what about Tuesday v Daggers?

My opinion of the George Formby lookalike, JF, is the same as 90% of the other Notts fans on here....what is he doing here, and how did he get the job?

For the record, I like Mr Trew and @erindoors, but surely they knew that appointing this guy was the biggest risk of their several years as Grand Poobahs at Notts......and ultimately it led to them putting the club up for sale.

In my opinion, their 2nd mistake was getting too involved in social media....the terrace terrorists are a lot more "scary" when they are hiding behind a keyboard!

So guys-n-gals....Tuesday night is Notts version of the Alamo or the Battle of Britain......a loss would be unthinkable and would surely see what remains of the Notts faithful go into meltdown.

Now is the time for everyone to get behind Notts....and JF (even just for 90 minutes).

Forget any personal animosity to JF....or even Mr and Mrs Trew......this is the time to back Notts, the oldest league club in the world.......after all, next season JF is extremely unlikely to be here anyway, as I hear he will be returning to Skeggy as an entertainer....or a window-cleaner!

Very well written tarkers! I was also a refugee from over there but every time I supported moniz I was shot down and attacked, I don't think the boss will mind me saying things weren't as busy over here but everyone was much kinder and able to have a sensible discussion, but things have improved over my short time here and i feel PON is a big part of my life.

We all need to get behind JF tonight and hope we get the 3 points

Naturally PON is a big part of my life, I've made no secret about how it helps me and has changed parts of my life. Via this site I have met some wonderful people, including the social media where I very much enjoy seeing who says what and I believe I've developed a good rapport with those who do communicate with PON. The sites coming on leaps and bounds, the arrival of many has given PON a boost - especially at quiet points.

3 full seasons and the community is developing a solid core, which we might not always agree with each other but there is respect.

I'm thankful of the support given to the site, it really makes a HUGE difference and of course I have my parents to thank for sticking around even though they have never really interacted online before. Sometimes things change, but I am focused on moving forward and I enjoy reading peoples opinions.

.....and about the Notts Dating Site.

I am 58 years old, 8 children, several ex-wives, a full head of hair and most of my teeth are still in situ.

I like to travel, enjoy reading, sports and being outdoors.

Please send your pics by Personal e-mail...........no, not you....the female next to you!!

I have to agree with you on Moniz, I cannot honestly think of one occasion where I called for his head...or Derry for that matter.....but I could see it coming.

The problem is that once the "normal bunch" start calling for immediate sackings, the momentum starts to build.

Notts have been crying out for stability for several seasons now......the trouble is that there hasn't been one manager, apart from SC, that everyone was happy with?

The latest new man in the hot seat doesn't stand a chance quite frankly.....hence the rumblings from the crowd during the Orient game.

So in hindsight.......we should have stuck with Moniz and enjoyed a more attacking style of play, win or lose........we weren't going to get relegated anyway.

[Tarkers]

OK guys.....stop it now.....I WAS JOKING

No more pics of you dressed only in your budgie-smugglers (you know who you are)......I am trying to eat my breakfast here....urgh

You are funny Mr Tarkers, made me laugh, just wondered if we stick a banjo in his hand, we could have JF singing The Wheelbarrow Song tonight.

If we win tonight, JF can sing anything he likes.......if we lose, I think he will "do a Lord Lucan".....................and go into hiding!

I was going to say "do a Red Rum"........but he allegedly ended up as a case of Pedigree Chum...........mmmmm.......there's a thought!

Red Rum was buried alongside the winning post at Aintree, tarkers.

You're probably thinking of Shergar.

[Tarkers]

Oops......sorry.....yep, that's the one.......still funny though?.......JF does a Shergar
