    Yes, Friday we had a family trip to Wollaton Park, and it was really nice to unwind. I really needed that bit of time together, but it was also nice to go back to Wollaton. Despite the heat, it was really lovely, and the breeze took much of the heat off. We caught the bus there, but walked all the way back home. Today I went to see Notts, a school friend gave us a lift there and back. I didn't feel all that well, my head was hurting, and I felt kinda sick (the feeling of, but not the urge to be). I almost questioned why I bothered when they scored the first goal. Simply because of how rough I felt. It was a good game though, plus I enjoyed seeing everyone I know. It was good to see familiar faces even if I didn't feel great. Tomorrow, regardless, I will be going to see @super_ram for a bit because I want to catch up.

    The apology came from the heart, Kyle Cameron was clearly hurting, and his apology means much more than it does because of the fact we know he and the other players fight for this club. We had an early wake-up call against Sutton, plus we didn't adapt during the game - it's really what it is. Being able to move forward without overthinking it, or avoiding holding the result over the players is what we need to do more often. It sort of reminds me of last season when we lost to Wrexham and quite a lot of people were like the seasons over, the leagues not ours. Rather than focusing on the positives. For the record, I personally didn't expect an apology but the fact it came without being prompted makes me feel more inclined to rally behind the squad.

    Many leagues over the years have competed with the spending of the Premier League, it's just that in the last 5 or so years, it's become ridiculous. All the big leagues in europe have had spells where insane figures have been racked up. China had a spell where they were trying, it's really not sustainable what the Saudi league is attempting to do. It's becoming what I would call an exhibition league. There's zero reason for it to be taken seriously, the Champions League and European football offers much more than just money. There will be no shortage of good players.

    @Fan of Big Tone: Is this near an army barracks or base? I think I watched a vlogger walking around there. It looks a very nice place to have a trip with the family, whilst paying respect and learning about the background of those memorialised. We have a tendacy of reading the plaques around Nottingham when we see them, such as The Embankment gardens. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

    There's Mitch Rose which springs to mind, not that he's a very popular figure with his off the field antics which I don't condone.

    Don't rub it in, I am doing extensive research and will post back later. I deny, refuse and call it 'fake news' that I have got off to a "Nottsy start".

    I think it will be a fun way to engage, I still have heaps to do myself, but we'll get there. I am very excited about providing the best experience here. --- @Fan of Big Tone, thank you.

    Personally, I think he's one of those players who are vastly overrated. I think Wrexham would have done well with the Andy Dallas type players, more than this guy. I think he can be a great player in the lower levels, but he was a ghost at Chesterfield in the games I watched him play, I know he had his injury but the televised games of Chesterfield before that period he looked awful for them.

    @cheeky~k8 tends to find some great bargains; she got our current printer for £30. We only need a basic one, but it beats the last we paid 5x as much for. One thing to note about ink, sometimes they're cheaper alternatives which are just as good in terms of quality of the ink and the amount of pages you should expect needs to be taken into consideration. Printers aren't something I tend to be interested in, so I wouldn't know what to recommend but I will ask Kate to check this topic out.

    Danny Mandroiu is a decent player, I have seen him (televised) several times when I used to watch the Irish leagues. @Dripsey3 should be aware of him too. I know Alistair Smith from his short time at Mansfield but not much else. Lasse Sorensen is someone I have heard of, but I don't recall having seen him perform. Danny Mandroiu will only be on the up in my opinion. I can easily see him playing in the Championship in a few years time.

    I didn't feel very well Saturday/Sunday, I fell asleep and would wake up to see my laptop showing the score. I wondered what the hell was going on. When I did finally wake up, about 11ish, I noticed Sutton United had uploaded their highlights. I felt sickened by how that great support were let down, you can hear our fans and I felt frustrated. We need to see better, nerves don't cause that. A lack of understanding for opposition does.
  14. Chris
    It's been a rule that if a player kicks a ball away, or holds onto for a prolonged team as a means to prevent the opposition would result in a yellow card. I remember Alan Shearer being sent off for tapping the ball as he passed it for Newcastle, which Shearer called ridiculous in his post match comments. However, it's been something referees haven't been consistent with. The rules state that once a free kick has been awarded, the opposition shouldn't touch the ball or prevent it from being taken. I assume these changes are just more stricter guidelines, but I can see it being conveniently forgotten at the lowest level.

    I'm hanging on the cautious side, as it's very common for deals like this to signify that the player is being protected against bids for his services. Why is that a bad thing? There's a high chance that a minimum release clause has been agreed between both parties, whilst it might also simply be to get more money from those interested. This is exactly what I have been calling for, especially last season with his 2 year deal only having 1 and a half remaining. I actually said we needed to tie him down with a four year deal, so that's why I'm not as excited. I could see this being a safe guarding move. However, it is great news and should mean any bids will come with a much higher premium considering.

    Perhaps we do need to inject a bit more height into the team.

    The ideal world, Notts would have beaten Sutton for Jim O'Brien but it wasn't to be. The video is very good, I for one am glad it's come full circle for him.

    It makes you wonder when you see such poor ratings for players like Kyle Cameron, the issue I have with losing to Sutton is that teams will have a blue print on how to make us suffer. The players need to be stronger, Luke Williams needs to try to reduce the damage by making tactical changes - especially when we lose a player.

    There was issues with England wearing their poppy armbands or even having anything printed on their shirts, it's time the nonsense ends both ways and people just try to live in peace. So many people have a cause to be angry about, but it just makes life more draining. Kick it out, have done fantastic work and this has kicked them to the curb. Nothing political should outweigh this type of genuine effort.

    I have zero ideas on who this is, please tell me he played for Notts before the 90s. Otherwise he's escaped my mind.

    When I watched Sutton United's highlights, I could see the large gap and it made me re-think the discussion between me and @Piethagoram. I wished their were extended highlights, so I could see what people meant about it could have been double digits. The regular highlights were hard enough to watch, but we were so week on the ball and from a defensive point of view.
  23. Chris
    I think we're being watched. No harm done. Now, where are those spying devices.

    @KB1862 I watched a video on YouTube about his career, I didn't realise he had been playing for so long in the medias spotlight. I thought he had played most of his days in Japan, as I only heard of him to note after Japan's first inclusion in the world Cup. The video also showed him training with a portuguese club and he was out skilling much younger players as if it was a walk in the park.

    Ha! I wonder if they just decided to pull the plug in favour of something else that broke today. League Two and lower football often gets trumped by the bigger clubs news. Not that I would cancel or look elsewhere when it comes to speaking to our owners.
