  14. Credit to Forest Green Rovers, they are so far the best team to have played at Meadow Lane this season. Whilst I don't think they deserved anything from the game, they made Notts work hard and Notts made themselves work even harder thereafter. I think we aided them in pushing us back, but Notts were relentless and good at creating goal-scoring chances. Tobi had a moment where he should have shot, selfishly he passed, but it seemed the wrong call for me. It was such a good position, I feel, it would have been harder to miss than to score. Notts looked good at 2-0, we were firmly in control in the first half and FGR pressed and tried, but I thought we could end the game 5-0, or maybe concede one or two goals. They started the second half much stronger than us, pushing and when they did manage to score - it had that knock-on effect we have seen in previous seasons where we crumble, then struggle to get a grip back of the game. This would have been one of those games where we lost, but felt cheated. Forest Green Rovers did well to get back in the game, had it ended here I think a draw would have been quite fair. Had the game continued with them threatening, maybe they could feel unlucky not to have got something? I think the fact that we manage to get into a higher gear and make it 4-2, I think that's enough for me to say we deserved the win. As I said earlier, Tobi had a clear chance, as did other players. Yes, they hit the bar late on but aside from that, it was just flashes. We caused the Forest Green Rovers keeper to make some great saves. Macaulay Langstaff managed to hold onto the ball, he passed on, and it ended up being struck goalwards by David McGoldrick and their keeper pulled off a remarkable save. To be honest, I think we worked for our goals and in comparison we allowed them to score. I think at times Aidan Stone could have done better, most certainly we shouldn't have given the penalty away. That said, we showed great spirit and character to seal the win. Jodi Jones was very unlucky at times, but I am not overly concerned about the goals we conceded. It was just one of those crazy games, where thankfully both teams really made a game of it. I think if Forest Green Rovers had played better in the first half, maybe they would deserve something or even more, but not based on their first 45 minutes. Second half, they were dangerously on it.
  15. I do think much of what is mentioned makes sense, using a licensing system would make it more manageable when it comes to bad owners. I'm not sure how it would work in regard to having the licence removed, then the prospective sale of the club. In a previous discussion, I did mention how councils can take back homes which aren't in use and are abandoned - if something like this can be worked into football it would help. If an owner is scared of losing all of their assets, then they may be more inclined to sell up quicker and move on to avoid losing out further.
  16. It sounds like a nice way to listen to Notts. A few times back in the day, I sat in a pub in Skeggy (technically Winthorpe) and listened to Notts, also a few times on the beach. One time I actually wrote a message, with my children saying "COME ON YOU PIES" after we had won, which I posted to social media. Enjoy your time away; just make sure you have time for yourself and Mrs T! I will be at Meadow Lane tomorrow, it's going to be quite full on, but I am looking forward to it. I have enjoyed taking my fan pics, as it does put me in contact with fans I may otherwise miss. I do like those interactions; it goes along way to feeling at home when at Meadow Lane. Sunday, I need to get over to see my dad. I want to drag everyone over, as it's been awhile, but it depends on how some feel. Ellie's been unwell with a cold. I know she won't want to pass it on.
  17. Neil Warnock is a truly remarkable manager; he's the Ric Flair of football. His passion for the sport keeps him wanting to be involved. Hopefully, this time he will stay retired. I mean, if he wants to still be involved in fair play but why not a lesser role like a director of football. Which he has been outspoken about in the past, but really it is quite a suitable position. Naturally, retiring and putting his feet up is well deserved. He can always use the time to beat people on the golf course.
  18. The Goonies is one of my all-time favourite films, Day of the Dead (original) and the animated Transformers film from the year before my birth. There's so many more that I could add, but my favourite would be between these.
  19. We've all been on the end of a heavy defeat, but 9-0 would have been a very long night. Their goalkeeper won't be too happy, he might as well have sat in the stand with his fans after it went to 5-0. Just put a sign in the middle of the net.
  20. 4 games in, Luton were always going to be facing an uphill battle, but they have many more games to focus on. Just being in the Premier League alone is fantastic achievement for them. I remember when John Hartson played for them, before he joined Arsenal. It's that fighting spirit Luton had, which they need to find for this season. I'm not sure if they will stay up, but I am hoping they can.
  21. Recently, whilst watching YouTube a lot of old comedy shows and comedians have been appearing in my video list. One of which is Tommy Cooper. I don't watch a lot of comedians these days; I just don't find them as funny. There are a lot of good comedians out there, but they are completely different. Peter Kay is one of the few who reminds me of the classic style, as these days it seems more about quick wit, sarcasm, irony, deepen, black and dark humour, controversial one-liners etc. I used to enjoy watching Jack Dee and I think Russell Howard is one of the best currently. I just miss the family style entertainer, I suppose. The UK used to have many who could be silly, bring laughter but in a way that was wholesome.
  22. They seem to be doing okay considering, I had a look at the league table, and they aren't exactly near the danger zone. Good luck to them, it's nice to see teams like these and Union Berlin doing well.
