San Marino beat Liechtenstein to record first competitive win
Chris replied to Piethagoram's topic in International Football
To be fair, San Marino is improving as a nation. I am not sure if it's something that will sustain and see 'long term' improvements, but I do think this won't be their only win. I'm absolutely loving the tweet from Paddy Power about United! They'll be losing support and custom from many fickle football fans though. -
Premier League meeting for the promoted clubs
Chris replied to Piethagoram's topic in English Football
I miss football comedy. I wished Frank Skinner and David Baddiel would bring Fantasy Football League back. That sketch is actually very amusing; I like the concept of it. -
If he had left Harrogate, I would have been surprised as at 33 he needs to be fighting to remain as their first choice keeper. I think Forest Green Rovers will have regrets about letting him go. Fingers crossed he can see out his career in League Two.

When I feel up to it, I'll see about going back on it. Charlie McParland was nothing but great with me, helped to ease my nerves and even John Thompson said I had it. I really appreciated that support. I don't watch Notts TV much, but I should give Team Talk another go. Now that there's no longer a Football League show, there's some time to be able to catch this as I used to watch that. Charlie is mistaken in his belief that David McGoldrick should be a guaranteed starter in every game. He will soon tire up and having spoken to my dad, he said it happened at Derby where he would turn up and sometimes he didn't. I think so far, we have the balance right because he has to fight and perform well to start. Last season he started way too many times, and he just played very poorly towards the middle to the end (with some okay performances in between).

It was a great game and day for Notts County. I don't want to repeat myself as I have said this a few times, but I watched the game whilst away with my family. The opening ceremony was amazing! I have always been very proud of the connection and friendship forged with @Italian Magpies.

David McGoldrick worked hard, but it wasn't his best performance. I sometimes feel annoyed when the Man of the Match is named, usually to the people who the hospitality match sponsors want to meet. I don't think this was the case yesterday, but those two goals were. Not long into the second half, he looked to be reserving his energy and looked very tired. So, he wouldn't get my vote even though he was clinical on goal. Curtis Edwards had a brilliant first half, but quit down in the second. Unselfishly, he decided to assist when an effort on goal would have been a better idea. I'm a bit bemused by fans who don't seem to like or credit Edwards. Conor Grant was very similar to Edwards, brilliant first half and quite involved in the second but not close enough to be named the Man of the Match for me. Jacob Bedeau would get my vote, a very good presence and contribution by him.

It was a wasteful signing, one I think Luke Williams wasn't committed to trying. I think Williams preferred more senior players in defence, as Lewis Macari wasn't always given a fair chance, which is fair enough it's a different style, but the loan move just proved to be pointless for us and Ollie Tipton. I wish him all the best with kick-starting his career, I hope Solihull Moors proves to be a good fit for him.

It feels as though it's the same as those fans using Stuart Maynard's previous full-time position as a BT Technician against him. Lee Carsley is entitled to sing if he wants, or not. People really need to stop jumping on things because when the same lot complains the world has gone mad, political correctness this and that - well they're part of the problem. The only thing I care about is signs we are good enough, along with results.

P.E. Lessons in the “good” old days 🙄
Chris replied to Fan of Big Tone's topic in Granny Pie's General Discussion
Honestly, I thought this was a more American thing. At least until I reached year 10, when my PE teacher Mr Wilson pulled out these very old ropes and showed us how to climb them. I had no issue with doing that; coming down is what I feared. If you weren't careful, not only would you get rope burns from holding tightly, but have them on the way down. I'm not a fan of heights, but I move very slowly and akwardly coming down from the top. One of my friends, just refused and I wished I had. Mind Mr Wilson, it was the same person that told me to get up when I suffered a dislocation to my right knee. That wasn't a pretty sight! -
I didn't see him leave the field, so I can't really comment on the limping. I am not keen on him playing deeper, I think it largely subtracts from his performance and I would welcome a run as the striker provided he was fit enough. I wouldn't mind him here or there in midfield; I think he has done well in the role and especially prior to his injury. He might need time, I guess, but I feel he's not reaching the potential his performances can give. It's why I felt pleased to see him further up when he came on. I hope he's okay; we can afford to give him recovery time if he needs it. Losing him to a longer injury, would be more problematic in the long run I feel.

I nearly died when I noticed this. I was worried you might give credit to an outfield player!!! Michael Kelly, aka Aiden Stone's brother, does deserve to be mentioned! I thought he was outstanding, saving Accrington Stanley from a very embarrassing outcome. Nelson Khumbeni, I think is the god awful player that could have hit the target in the first half for Accrington but seemed to shoot away from goal and more towards where I sat. He seemed to blame his boot, though it was like he saw the ball move much slower than what it did because the connection on the effort wasn't very good. I thought he did some decent running, but I wasn't impressed with any of their outfield players.
