All Activity

Bit of a lazy day today. Watched the World Athletics on the Beeb & the Scotland v Greece game later on. I do like Columbo so I watched one of the TV movies. In all the films that were made & there were quite a few, he never failed to solve a case. But this movie was different because he wasn't wearing his dirty old mack, but a shirt, tie and smart suit.

The Poll has now closed. Great to see a late rush of votes. Thanks to all who voted. I'm pleased to announce that Will Jarvis has been voted the Pride of Nottingham'san of the Match for his outstanding performance against Crewe. Well done Will.

David McGoldrick didn't put a foot wrong, and I agree with LifeLine that he deserved Man of the Match. While he might not be happy about missing his chances and may feel others deserved it more, he gets my vote for putting in 100% effort and creating most of the exciting moments in the game.

Will Jarvis gets my vote. I thought he showed real class in taking on players and getting shots off. David McGoldrick also played well and took it upon himself to try to break the deadlock. However, I felt Jarvis played as though he was sending a message to Stuart Maynard. If we can see performances like this from him regularly, he could be vital in the race for the play-offs or automatic promotion.

i spent today picking up my mums shopping, i stayed for sunday dinner and then took mum to go see my aunt. i drove then to go see my dad, we went out for a drink. i did not have anything strong, just pepsi but it was nice to see him out. i have next week fully off, so i will need to find things to do in order to keep busy.

i am glad that notts gave him time and i think its good that he has managed to move closer to home, i wished he was still here because i thought he was a good player and someone who could get goals if played as a striker. i hope hes happier in carlisle.

i did not watch the game and only learned about the result now. its a good win for england, pleased to see harry kane score and the debut goal. did anyone else watch it?

I already have Robbie, unless I get a second vote?

Losing to Ali made him a better man. He found peace and faith, and that’s inspiring. RIP Big George.

Rumble in the Jungle is still one of the most famous fights of all time. His power was frightening, but Ali had the perfect plan. Rest in Peace, Big George Foreman.

I don't think David McGoldrick deserved Man of the Match. Even he seemed to disagree, shaking his head at the decision. Will Jarvis was quiet in the first half, almost unnoticeable, but much better in the second half. Charlie Whitaker was excellent until he was subbed off, which was a puzzling decision. Whitaker would be my pick for Man of the Match.

Rest in peace, George Foreman. It's truly sad to hear about the passing of such a great boxer.

Blaming the referee distracts from the fact that Notts simply wasn't clinical in front of goal. If Notts had created more chances or converted some of them, the referee's decisions wouldn't have been such a talking point. While there were some questionable calls, we need to win matches by scoring goals, not relying on penalties. At times, it felt like the focus was too much on drawing fouls in the penalty area instead of taking shots. Notts weren't terrible, but they looked more like a mid-table team than one pushing for promotion.

Foreman had that old-school toughness. No fancy training, just raw strength and grit. They don’t make them like him anymore.

George Foreman’s life was remarkable, not just because of his boxing achievements but also because of his transformation as a person. He started as a tough, angry young man, but after his loss to Ali and his retirement, he became a preacher and mentor. His return to the ring in his 40s was unheard of at the time, yet he still managed to claim the heavyweight title. Then, he became a business icon with his grill, making more money than he ever did in boxing. He was proof that second chances can lead to something greater. A true legend in and out of the ring.
