  1. A few scarfs I would add, maybe something relating to Colin Slater. Programmes are a good call. Personal items: Maybe my first Notts shirt if I could find it, along with a photo of various family members who have supported the club. Including the Ram of Derbyshire.
  2. Favourite Football Kit? The 1994/95 home shirt. Best ground you've been to? Anfield Favourite player growing up? Phil Turner, Paul Devlin, Gary McSwegan and Steve Cherry were all up there, but Turner would win. Who is your GOAT? Danny Allsopp Favourite Football Video Game? Football Manager Favourite Football-based Movie? Mean Machine Favourite Football Documentary? Warnock First football match? 2-0 win over Bristol City, 1993. If you could watch just 1 football match for the rest of your life what would it be? 1966, when England won the World Cup. Yet I insist on having a seat inside Wembley, with my dad. Football never existed, what's your go-to alternative? I couldn't commit to Basketball the same way as Notts, Wrestling isn't technically a sport, but I think it would take the space Notts left. You can change 1 decision in football history, what would it be? Relegation and Promotion across the whole of the English football pyramid. I would introduce more ways for teams outside the Football League to gain promotion. I would give the North/South a second promotion place, but they would have to play a team that finished just above the relegation zone. In the same sty;e as the Scottish league.
  3. Wish list would be: CB, LWB. Possibly another DM/CM that could develop with time. I personally don't feel we need a goalkeeper. I think Tiernan Brooks is good enough as backup and if we don't star giving him more game time then when do we? He's a good keeper, one who looks certainly capable of becoming our number 1 in the future. Why bring in a keeper to make his game time potentially less? It seems a waste of time and money to me.
  4. We should let the Nottingham City council know our opinion because they were disrespectful when they did not act initially. Any achievement in sport should be acknowledged by Nottingham. They can find the money for things out of the blue that suite their own agenda, but always treat Notts as a second thought. That said, I would reject a city centre celebration now, with the event the other week and how people feel. It makes no sense, but I do hope the club announces an open day or some sort of community day at Meadow Lane.
  5. We did well in our first season, but we had a hard time with the physical teams in the National League who knew how to stop us from playing. Ian Burchnall's appointment went a long way to improving the standard of football. I liked Neal Ardley, but I felt we were quite complacent at times. The appointment of Luke Williams proved to be the catalyst to propel the club into a real promotion fight. I value the effort of all the players in each season and our recruitment has helped us to become stronger. Superb feature. @Magpie Bill. Thank you for your contribution.
  6. Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy birthday dear @Fan of Big Tone, happy birthday to you! I also hope you have a wonderful day celebrating your special day.
  7. It's a very good signing, he was very promising as a youngster and is one of those steady type players we have seen in the mould of the likes of Matt Palmer. He has a real quality about his play. He's one of the Arsenal youth team players I have admired over the years. I think he will fit in excellently with our system and give us a lot more quality in this department. It's a fantastic signing for me.
  8. Bournemouth is the one team that seems able to sack a manager and still turn things around, I don't know how. I thought that they would struggle both teams they let Eddie Howe go, but there's something about them. I do agree, it could pay off, but it seems they can ride their luck in the managerial merry-go-round.
  9. I just realised, I never had my say on Kyle Cameron's contract extension. I think two-years is a decent length, which could be renewed at the end of this season. I think if we plan to further improve, retaining players like Cameron before their deals fully expire is the way forward. Some might say, but he's signed a 2-year-deal, Chris? I don't like taking my chances on players renewing in their final season. Six months into their deal expiry date, it opens a lot of doors and that can turn heads. Plan ahead, motivate players, demonstrate ambition, and secure deals before important seasons end. If we hadn't been promoted, we might have lost more than just Ruben Rodrigues. I think this is the difference between teams heading in the right and wrong direction, most teams do act quickly to renew their best players. Not every player will renew, but there should always be a few key players than those who make up the squad numbers.
  10. There's quite a bit of blood and gore, but you can skip it without causing issues to the story.
  11. No doubt in my mind, Scunthrorpe United are throwing money into getting back into the Football League. Doing so in the National League North is quite risky with only one team going up, but that's why they'll be doing it. To maximise their chances to get out of the division. I think it's partly desperation but also eagerness to avoid falling further. I hope Cal doesn't hold any ambitions to make it to the Football League before he's 30-years-old. @DangerousSausage Ross is fine at that level, I would worry about them if they gained promotion but because that's where he started to struggle. Ross was awful in the three games we played against Chesterfield. In our home match, he got cocky and started fist bumping the Chesterfield badge to the KOP - before anyone had gotten onto his case. That of course sparked it, their second goal was as if they won the FA Cup. Which was pleasing when his leaky gloves started to let our goals in.
  12. Sheffield Wednesday has only just gone up, I don't understand why they would sack a manager that won them promotion. I hope that the reason behind Darren Moore possibly leaving is not because the club is looking for a more famous coach in order to achieve better results. It seems weird. I can understand Bournemouth wanting to make a change. They probably want to keep up and have a manager which will help bring in those players who can do it, it's harsh, but understandable. The Moore sacking for me is far more strange!
  13. @Fan of Big Tone I'm enjoying it so far; it depends on how you like your horror, but the suspense and story ark is quite interesting. Little clues crop up, yet you still have no idea what is causing the strangeness.
  14. Sky Sci-Fi @Fan of Big Tone It becomes more story-based after the 2nd episode. It's a bit like Under the Dome too.
  15. I felt a bit bored and was struggling to find something to watch. I looked through my options and noticed a TV show called 'From'. I put it on without much hope, but I felt intrigued by the fact people had to get in before it went dark. It's quite good. I actually really enjoyed the first two episodes. It reminds me of a spookier version of Jericho. It's quite well-written, written, and leaves you wondering why the town/village is having the supernatural. Anyone else seen it?
  16. I didn't rate him, I thought a youth team player would've made more impact, and it's not that he didn't try. He just didn't fit our style and wasn't good enough. I felt early on he was a dud even though some told me otherwise. To say I wasn't surprised he's been picked up by a League Two team would be a lie. It's strange how Jimmy Knowles has gone two leagues down, and Kairo has moved up without impressing anywhere. Yet, I do have a feeling he may be played as a shadow striker, where his running and efforts might be best deployed.
  17. This is brilliant, it's the type of thing you'd never expect but says a lot about the person. In the case, James Maddison. People may also forget that Maddison played for Coventry, which is how he knows Jodi Jones. So, there is that connection but still you wouldn't have thought something like this would happen. Jodi even seems surprised and a bit taken back, even though he tries to keep his cool demeanor.
  18. We managed to get round to see @super_ram, which was nice. We gave him some Only Fools and Horses characters we had got him whilst at Skegness. Along with a card and a pocket dairy for 2024. Nice time to catch up with him, talking in general. Going home, we walked in the thunder and lightening. The streets in areas almost had rivers due to the amount of rain, I have never seen it so bad but we enjoyed it nontheless. Kate and Ellie, they walked as if it wasn't raining, they both enjoyed the different weather. lol
  19. Pizza is undoubtedly a top-notch choice, as you can easily tell. Kate will pick all the pineapple off hers, and then I get to eat them. It's quite the fun deal. She likes pineapple but says, "I don't like it warm". I love Hawaiian burgers! I love pineapple!
  20. I got a Mr Men card from my children, I'll take it because only Mr Grumpy was negative, and the rest were very respectful. I am happy with that, although Ava came up, said "mum told me to give you this" and then threw it at me. We'll be going to see @super_ram shortly. @cheeky~k8 is quite excited to be walking out in the storm. We both have a strange liking to thunder and lightening. In the past, it used to be our calling card to have takeaway and just unwind as a family watching films on the TV. That was back when the kids were more fun.
  21. Well we know that he left with their blessing, so it's something that reinforces the well-wishes to David McGoldrick. McGoldrock did well with Derby, so there's no reason why they should feel a player that is out of contract and who wants to join his boyhood club as anything disloyal or against his former club. Players move on all the time, but it is quite common for managers, clubs and their fans to be resentful when a player doesn't re-sign a new deal. I have seen some nasty comments to Ruben Rodrigues, so it makes Derby look classy with their well-wishes. Most of their fans have done the same; I haven't seen a single complaint or moan from the Rams supporters.
  22. I remember a few years back, when they had a few ex Notts players. On the train to Skegness, there were some Boston fans who noticed my Notts shirt and decided to chant all the way to Boston about them being our reserve team. Good luck to Jordan Richards, he's a good guy and deserve a chance to go further.
  23. The person in the tweet could be twisting the blade, but it does seem very disrespectful. Age can be a funny thing too, he probably realises that he has a good amount of stock in him now, compared to when he joined Brentford. These things can turn a player's head and, let's be fair. Sometimes Spanish players can prioritize their individual goals over loyalty to their teams and might not handle situations diplomatically. When players force moves from their clubs, it makes you wonder why other teams are interested because it can be a sign of things to come. I would say he's got at least 6–7 years when he should be playing at his best, if I were him, I'd be trying to focus on achieving my personal goals with Brentford. 7th is quite a respectable finish for them, but again this could be part of the downfall. He may have been promised european football this season, the idea of it could have gotten into his head. It's a tough situation, but Brentford need to play their cards right.
  24. * Age backwards: 63 I'm only a few years younger than @super_ram now. * Steak or Seafood: Pass, I wouldn't touch either... * Italian or Chinese: Italian, the food of gods! * Pepsi or Coke: Pepsi.... * Chocolate or vanilla: Vanilla * How many tattoos : No * Ever hit a deer: Only when it kept looking at me funny. * Last text from: @cheeky~k8 * Favourite season: Winter... It's nice and quiet, people tend to be less of a pain. * Broken bones: My arm, green stick fracture. * Beach or Mountain: Mountains, but I do love the beach. One tends to be more peaceful, and I do enjoy nature, more than I do seeing the wild life that Skegness can produce (humans) * Dogs or cats: Dogs... Easily and by far! Cat's tend to scratch the life out of me, I don't know why, but I'm more inclined to Kurt Zouma them because of this. * Early morning person: Early as in go to bed, yes. Early as in wake up, not a chance. * Surgeries: No. * Favourite colour: Red..... or Orange, I like both. * Have you ever flown on a plane: Only in games. * Beer or Wine: Wine, if I must. * Mild or hot salsa: NOOoooooooo. * Waffles or pancakes: Pancakes! * Smooth or crunchy peanut butter: Disgusting, next. * Pineapple on pizza: Yes, all day long!
  25. The issue has been patched. This issue seems resolved to me. I have just applied a patch for the patch that has been released for the core site. Other community owners are reporting issues with the cookie consent message, yet so far, I haven't experienced that issue. Hopefully, it will be resolved but as always I ask members to keep reporting buys to this section. If any moderators notice any mention of issues or bugs, please can you point them to this topic. Thank you.
