Notts County Women v Mansfield Town Women
A few weeks ago, it was Forest, and now it’s Mansfield. Ladies, you know what must be done! Good luck. Let's take a Stag home and place it over the fire.

????????Happy Birthday, ARLukomski!! ????
Don't forget, your birthday present was the actual result. I ordered that especially for you, "an amazing 4-2 comeback" just to make your birthday extra special. It's those exciting moments that you remember. ???? I hope you had a brilliant birthday, mate!

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
I wonder..... ????

Match Discussion: Game 6 - The Ravens (A)
@TheSkipper Mark Stallard keeps mentioning the pitch, though he's trying not to go on about it (his words) - it does sound like the pitch is an advantage for them. It sounds like we are sussing it out, but we are getting chances. Conor Grant headed the ball over, just need to keep pushing for that leveller and go on from there.

Sven's funeral... wonderful write up from Henry Winter
I have seen footage on the news, I also know someone who attended and the amount of people who attended - very befitting of Sven's goodbye. The football community was truly united to bid farewell to Sven.

On This Day In History.
Don Masson was one of my grandfather Ray's favourite players, even @GrannyPie admired him and I can remember how pleased she was to have him as a friend of Facebook. He's a very nice person, I have spoken to him numerous times but obviously his playing days are well before my time of watching Notts. It doesn't take away the brilliance of his magic, as many fans tell me stories which is awesome. I have to admit, I made a mistake sharing this way too earlier than I intended. I don't know what happened, but at least it's done well. ????

Darth Vader's Voice Silenced
He played a former baseball player in one of my favourite family films; he was a great actor. Coming to America, where he plays a king, is a classic. Rest in Peace, King Jaffe Joffer, Mr. Mertle, Terence Mann and legendary James Earl Jones. ❤️

Back From The Dead
It must have been a very scary experience, not just for you but your family. Even if you don't remember much, I know what it's like when to wake up not remembering anything. Totally different, but I broke my nose as a child riding my friend's bike. I took off and landed in my neighbour's rockery filled with large stones. I don't remember anything, I supposedly was awake, but I only remember waking up in hospital. Enough about me, as I say it's not nice, and I can only imagine how worse it is to be told you had died too. No need to thank me, I didn't really do much, but I am glad you have managed to find yourself back to the site and are able to sign in now. Take good care of yourself and your ticker. Just do take comfort in everyone wishing you well, because we do look out for each other here.

Luke Garrard Back At Boreham Wood
I think realistically, they have always been a mid-table National League team. Their success seemed a bit of an overachievement, but their relegation was them underperforming. I don't think they strengthened themselves all that well compared to other teams and ended up in very poor form. I wonder if their fans have any involvement with this? If they wanted him back, then it would make a bit more sense, but I can't imagine it was easy discussions at first.

Tell Us a Tale
I saw Jason Manford at Skegness in one of the bigger arcades with one of his children, before he went off to what I assume were over family members. I didn't bother him, or anything like that. I did see some others approach him and ask for his signature and photo, which he did, but I felt sorry for him because he was clearly having downtime with his family. Not much to the story, other than at times when I upload pictures to Facebook - certain friends tell me I look like him. At least it's better than that Welsh snooker player, Mark Williams.

Quirky 60s & 70s TV Series
I loved the original but when it was rebooted with Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer, I really learned to appreciate it. I felt disappointed that the BBC axed it. I think it only made 2 seasons before it was abandoned? The original I have seen numerous times when I was younger at my parents, my childhood is filled with comedies like Porridge, Rising Damp, Are you Being Served? etc. I wasn't aware that Kenneth Cope had passed on. It's very sad news. @super_ram

Tell Us a Tale
I once met Jools Holland when I had to hand-deliver him a letter, as he was staying at my workplace. He was playing at the Royal Concert Hall, Nottingham (obvious as I wasn't talking from the Park area to another city). ???? After getting through various people, I handed him the letter and he thanked me. I was about to walk off, when he asked me if I knew who he was. It's a bit strange, as the letter had his name on, and I had been told to only hand it over to him directly. I said, yes. He asked me if I liked his music, he told me to be honest. I told him no, I didn't and that I wasn't sure I knew anyone who did. ???? He laughed, then started playing a piano while he was sat in front. He thanked me again for taking him the letter and told me he liked that I was honest. In hindsight, I probably should have just said Yes and then left it at that, making the excuse that I really had to get back. -- I could also tell of a time when Marco Pierre White went knife to knife with the restaurant's head chef, after exchanging insults to him. ???????? I wasn't involved with this, but watched it all with my own eyes. Pierre White repeatedly returned his meals. A television company was filming something, where two other famous chefs had also been a part of. For some reason, Pierre White started making personal insults to our head chef who blew a casket over it. The production company had to halter filming, when the head chef decided to carve one of his knives into the hot pass. To which, Pierre White started f****** and b***** it. It wasn't full on daggers. ????????????????

American Pie
It's sad news, but we appreciate being kept in the loop. There are many here, who might not know David personally but will have taken a shine to @AmericanPie. He's missed on the site, but it's even sadder to think that he's extremely unwell. I am thinking positive vibes and hoping that David can at least be comfortable in his situation. Please do let him know we all care and pass on our messages.

BREAKING: Hearing over Man City's 115 Charges to begin Monday, 16th Sept.
Wow.... Breaking news at it's very best. They've been charged, let's get in over and done with If they've broken rules (yes I know they have) it needs to be dealt with appropriately. Not sure, Sky Sports needed to act like it's a big thing, when it's only a slither of news. It's like ordering Oasis tickets, and getting bottles of the Oasis drink in return. Very lacklustre! ????

Jodi Jones - New contract
This is brilliant news, Jodi Jones is a massive player for us. It's great to see that Notts has managed to extend his stay with us; he's by far one of the most popular players and is someone younger fans connect with due to his quality and performances. All these things are very important for a club like ours. I thought he would extend, but I was thinking it would be nearer December or early January. Always believe in, Jodi Jones! ????????

Excellent article on Notts v Accrington by Tom Reed
The article has done the rounds around our club, so I hope Tom Reed is pleased by the response. It's a great article, which showcases what it's like at Notts and Meadow Lane. I do find the Terrace Edition to be a very interesting read, as it's got it's own style and focus. Tom did an excellent job putting his thoughts over, hopefully, he will like the comments shared but I do encourage people to check out the site itself, plus their social media pages.

Essex docked 12 points over use of 'wide bat'
Surely, they undergo thorough checks? I would assume the cricketer knew, so surely it would be a form of cheating? I am not sure how 12 points is a suitable punishment. Cricket is a weird sport, where cheaters don't seem to be held accountable like other sports do. I thought it was considered 'the gentleman's game', with a lot of sportsmanship? It seems lost these days. As someone with zero interest in cricket, I hear and read so many unsporting things.

Alex Bass: "Notts County move can bring best out of me".
@Robbie Absolutely, I have seen Aidan Stone working hard in training. He has shared pictures of him working hard, with captions about being ready. I do feel sorry for him, he's been made unwanted and exiled, I would play him ahead of Sam Slocombe when it comes to the bench. I wish the club had a proper reserve team, as for your points - it would help all involved. Friendlies against various teams, even if at a higher level than us, does nothing in comparison to being in a competitive league. It also gives a clearer marker as to where the level of players are, as they are amongst teams similar to their own ability. I don't see Alex Bass being replaced, but having our backup keepers ready and having played games is much better than just training alone.

Weekly chat - 9th to 15th September
I don't want to seem like I am going on about being unwell etc, but I am starting to feel better. It's not been so bad, more cloudy and like the start of coming down with a cold but without the runny nose. I've been taking cough medicine that has honey, which massively helps. I don't usually like taking medication, as I prefer my body to fight it, but certain things I do because it just makes things better. I'm trying to sit upright as much as I can today, if my back allows it. I have been working hard on the site, in various areas and making sure I get much of my "to-do-list" down. Today, it does feel cold. It's the first time I have had to remain under a duvet in my bedroom. I have no plans to do anything outside the house, I am just trying to rest whilst being as productive as possible. I am thinking about going to see Super, a few times next week like I did recently where I take my laptop etc with me, so I can work away from home. It was nice to have a change of scenery and to catch up with him. I've been drinking no end of water recently, which is something I do a lot when feeling unwell. I need to weigh myself at some point, so I can keep an eye on my weight loss journey. I hope everyone else is feeling okay, I enjoy reading about all of your days.

Comment of the week: PON
@KingMaynard had me in stitches when I read his comment. I wasn't aware that they had any sort of 'team up' with Xbox. I would have associated Football Manager more with PC, although I am aware it's on Xbox. What a hilarious remark! I fully endorse more of these types of comments.
