I don't really get angry, it's very rare and the disappointment level varies but it never reaches the point where I bring it home. Of course, I do feel at times we could give more of an account of ourselves but I feel I am balanced. I reflect based on many things, not just the outcome or performance of a game. I am not sure why some treat it as if it's life or death, or fail to factor in that certain games aren't our day. When we are poor, I don't understand why people choose to really behind the club but when we do well, they critise the form like this season where some feel we threw promotion away via the automatics. I feel we fought hard this season, through injuries, suspension, poor results and bad officiating. But I would never say that we should have stayed in the automatics because I don't believe we or any club has that right. PON exists to factor in how feelings of how things could have been, to balance the disappointment etc.

Rochdale has been a team that has clashed with us many times, where they feel their support makes them a bigger club and so much false belief that I am delighted to see York City return. What Rochdale have done is amazing, they have shown real fight and I credit them for that. Yet, I am more pleased with York as they haven't been in the EFL for some time and they are very much a team that I feel deserve to be here. I am happy for Stuart Maynard, but more for their supporters and club because they have had it rough for quite a few years. I hope Carlisle United manage to make a return via the playoffs. The playoffs actually look strong, and I wouldn't fancy Rochdale to keep up their season form; even Boreham Wood and Scunthorpe United would be better.

One for @Michael D Pie., I wrote this yesterday but in free form but I wanted to make it rhyme.

The game started off very end to end, and I think Colchester put the most pressure on us during the first half, but that said it was mostly uneventful and even throughout. I would say, there were times where they threatened us with corners and James Belshaw had to compete with a Colchester player trying to infringe him. Several times I noticed Owura Edwards, I think it was, constantly trying to push Belshaw and to get in the way. I know you are not allowed to push a keeper, but surely hustling whilst trying to prevent the keeper should be clamped down on and seen as a bookable offence. The referee was largely very biased towards not giving cards, which was frustrating because it allowed Colchester to do some underhanded fouls. What happened to Lewis Macari is very saddening to see, I believe he dislocated his knee judging how he went down and from what I have seen. I can tell you, that when this happens you do yelp (well I don't now, I've done it too much) but those who speculated that they saw his leg snap into two, I didn't see it and I don't think the reactions of the players said it was that. I really hope it's not a break, but I am sure Macari will be back. Second half Notts played and deserved to win, the goal by Nick Tsaroulla was very well taken and I jumped up as I sat on the front row before he even had realised himself that it was going in. I wished we had troubled their keeper more from that side, as he looked very uncomfortable dealing with shots and even those not very well struck he would thumble out for a corner. Colchester United wasn't bad, they lack firepower. I also felt somewhat disappointed by Alassana Jatta who made little impact, and missed some good chances by doing some rushed decisions and failing to make the right move. I had wished we had brough on Matt Dennis, as I felt towards the end around the 70 minute mark that his pace could help us as Colchester attemped to equalise and that pushed us deeper. Can we start a fundraiser to sign Tom Iorpenda? He's too good for League Two, but there's a chance he could be a massive coup if we could get him. Supposedly, it's his brother George who Huddlesfield Town are more interested in. I can see them selling him to a League One team, similar to what happened to Jorge Grant when he came here, but Tom is a very better footballer than Grant.

I had a great trip with Mark H (@BigNCFC) and @KatrinaPIE, we sent off around 11am. It was a smooth trip, although did have to dash to the ground to make it in time for the kick off. I wasn't expecting much from the game, but I bumped into many faces who I hadn't seen for awhile and even though I didn't get to speak to some it made me smile. Coming home, I was tired and fell asleep listening to music via my earbuds.

I am sure we'll find the right balane to make it just a fun feature, and that the leaderboard will be just one extra feature for people to enjoy and feel part of the community. If we react based on valid acknowledgement, I don't see any issues. Changes: Fixes to ensure that match day correspondents do not have their posts grouped together. Fixes to the notifications for those named in the leaderboard (this should work now). Improvements have been made to the mobile user post area for a more consistent appearance throughout. Changes to improve the mobile experience. Quick edits for desktop returns (frontend button). A quick edit has been added in responsive mode (Ditto). Coming soon: Member engagement feature. Member update feature. Two previous features are set to return also. Stay tuned to find out what they are!

Nick Tsaroulla proved today we miss him when he doesn't start, great performance and excellent goal. Finally looked solid down the right, which gave us much more grit against a decent Colchester United.

@Michael D Pie.: I wouldn't say I regret it, more dislike and how hauntingly cruel it can be to loved ones and friends suffer due to it. It's a part of life which will never go away. PS. I forgot to mention had you not mentioned retirement here. I would have most certainly known after this past Saturday. I gave a little cheer and clap when I noticed a certain message. Though you could have retired after the season, I think you are still needed. 😜

Just to clarify, I am really trying to make improvements ahead of the close season so that I can be more organised ahead of the next campaign. Content and social media are of importance, but I don't like starting only to be impacted by time forcing me to stop. Interactions deserve recognition, and I appreciate maintaining a closer oversight over all areas. I am currently working on fixing and improving certain parts of the site, whilst restoring old features lost after the upgrade from 4.7 to 5x. Notications to those ementioned in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place will be looked at now. I am also trying to bring consistency to how the user information is displayed on mobiles. Plus the return of the edit button to the front, but it will also be in the action menu if people prefer.

Has anyone received a notification about the leaderboard? The mobile navigation issue with the all activity button is resolved. I have added "Unread Content" to the list of optional menu items - please do request areas you would like to see. Issues with smaller devices and the social network's hover colours have been fixed. Yes, in the next update I will figure out how to add my activity steams in a safe way.

I feel for you, it's not very nice and you have my thoughts. A little rest, you will be right as shine and on your way again. Try not to over do things, rush or bend to much. All the best to you, my friend.

Can we put together a good performance on the back of the slump we have experienced? If more players can try harder, some pull more weight and if selected senior players stop moaning at others and telling them what to do. I think we could do well, we have to play as a team and focus more on attacking. We massively miss Nick Tsaroulla and the right side is a bit of a concern to me. I like Lucas Ness, I think on his day he can be solid but whilst I prefer Lewis Macari. I don't think Rod McDonald and Ness have the same type of understanding as others. Ness got a fair bit of criticism against Barnet. Though, I am more concerned about McDonald. He's a very, very good defender but much better with others around him.

If Notts can beat Colchester, and the results are lucky to go our way. It could go to the wire like I had originally thought. However, I do think we will end up in the playoffs. I do worry, that a defeat will see us slip further down and make the final game of the season a lot more nervous. At one point it looked like it wasn't going to end like this, but the league has become very tight and many are fighting for the playoffs. Salford for example have really fought to climb up, as they did look unlikely to reach the playoffs earlier in the season. Now look at them, we need that fight and drive to end this well.

You can never tell in football, we have seen managers move on because they have done well and only for to turn out to be a disaster of a decision. He came here having something to prove, his last club's supporters didn't rate him and helped spread fear amongst our support. I would hope he would see we are proving to be a good fit, and he's well supported. He has a chance, much like Luke Williams and Ian Burchnall. It's closer to Williams in truth, he played for Burnley and has connections there and I don't tend to think it works but doing well will attract interest. It beats having several managers being sacked, and if he does go maybe we'll get nice compo.

@Fan of Big Tone sorry to read this, please do make sure recovering is of the highest importance. Today, I had a good chat with Mark (C) as he finished off cooking two meals for @super_ram, who is halving them because the portions are very generous. Super enjoyed eating his meal; he even allowed me to do it for him as he rested. I don't know what has gotten into him, allowing me to help. On top of this, I repaired his power port to his laptop. I hope he starts to feel better, and manages to get on a bit more, but his health does come first. Back to fixing and improving PON, and releasing some of the apps I make. Every little helps, PON.

Apologise, I sold two copies of one of the apps I have released and there's an annoying bug. I have no idea what exactly it is, but I am doing my best for the person that trusted me enough to buy what I have made. When you don't have much to go on, you have to review each line. Then try to fix it, by strengthening what looks weak. I'll be staying up again to fix the issues here.

I'll tighten it up and ensure the behaviour avoids doing that.

I forgot the 'All Activity' by default can be changed to the default feed, but I have replaced it and not corrected the URL. Since the feed can be configured based on the default, the URL works with both. I need to change it to the all acivity point. I'll patch it momentarily, Tone.

I will look into it, and add the unread button. I'll pinch Jake's iPad when I get hold of him, seems strange it would only affect IOS devices. I just wanted to make sure what you meant. 👍🏻

@Fan of Big Tone All activity in the mobile menu at the bottom of the screen goes to the unread content? I can't reproduce this at the moment. I have tried it on my laptop, in minimised mode, using the inspect device toolbar, as well as on my current and older phones.

Touch wood, you can now customise the mobile navigation in the footer of the site to your own personal liking. https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/settings/mobilenav/ Please use this announcement topic to request additional links. I have only added two custom ones but there might be areas you would like to see. I can most certainly make it happen, but I don't want to assume because it could become bloated. This also avoids me over adding, on the assumption I am giving options when in fact it just creates more options. If you have any suggestions in general, please proceed to sign into our status page in order to make a suggestion, which members can vote in favour of. https://status.prideofnottingham.co.uk/suggestions/ Doing it this way, means that I can promote the status page which will be online, as it's not hosted on PON's dedicated server. Meaning if an incident occurs where we are offlne, or I am just taking a nap again, at least you will know I am working on something and not to fear the worst. I have used the same text editor as here, TipTap which is a very powerful free to use lightweight script. Whilst some inspiration has been used to make it seem familar, I have kept it to a more standard UI/UX with my own touch flare. Connecting your account from here to the server page is secure, it uses inbuilt API and no password is transferred at all. At some stage I will create a widget to show and allow voting to be made here, but the suggestions will remain outside to encourage those who wish to check the status of the Pride of Nottingham service. I will ensure to keep updating, and log events because I feel strongly about keeping the community well informed. Please remember, in the event I need to share something privately, you will need to login using your PON account on the status page. Implementing a private means of sharing what could be sensitive is very important, and whilst this is part of my continued effort for further transparancy, some events may need to be prviate for security reasons. @Robbie: Please take a moment when convenitent for you, and test the last match discussion to see if you are able to bypass the flood control. Many thanks for your continued dedication to assisting the site with this, and the PON Man of the Match. It is greatly appreciated, and well deserving of this acknowledgement. I have also re-introduced notifying members who have been named in the site leaderboard. @Robbie, @Fan of Big Tone and @theAnticlough please can you keep an eye on tonight and tomorrow to see if you get a notification about being named, or more importantly if you have already. I am still actively working on new and other improvements to existing features; my aim is to optimise all the resources I can to make the site performance even better. Resources made by one of my wonderful friends, will be requested to them on if they would implement improvements I may find. Any not being actively sold or remain custom will be carried out by me. Thank you, to each and every one of you for the amazing support. I appreciate your feedback! PS. Stay tuned for further improvements, and a more focused effort to become more organised. YOU PIES!

I am actually considering buying an MP3 player, or an old Apple iPod. You can highly customise certain models, and I know you can other software outside of iTunes or whatever it is which is slow and painful on Windows. My music is all over the place, and I miss Absolute Radio, but it became quite poor after awhile. 80s music is my favourite. I do like the 60s and 70s, 90s and some 00s. Modern music today often features more spoken elements or relies on auto-tune. Lyrically they tend to be weak too. I believe most artists have ghostwriters who sit on the toilet, humming lyrics to themselves as they type on their phones. There are some acceptable, some rare decent but I feel and hear the massive decline in quality.

I find the stewards to be warm and lovely people. I have had fans point out issues, and say x has happened but I can't go on what others have experienced only myself. Some of the turnstyle staff only do it for one reason, others are friendly and efficient. Unfortunately there are always people who think that a position gives them power over others when they do not. @KingofCounty I am sorry you have experienced that, it's not the right way to go about it.

Personally, I believe it starts with when you purchase a ticket. I think it's always going to be difficult to resolve the misuse but I don't believe it should affect anyone else that is uninvolved. I think it's unfair of the club to charge those who turn 18 in that season a higher price because of it. That is on par with people who under pay them, as they will be getting twice the amount even though the under 18, is 17. Many years ago, you paid the price of their age at the time and that is far more sensible. The club should also try to understand why some fans do it, as I would imagine it comes down to not having the money. Rather than they not wanting to pay, I am sure each case is different, and I am aware of some people who would underpay away teams by claiming x, y and z. Yet that's not acceptable, but the bigger issue is the price of football these days. Notts needs to make greater efforts to prevent misuse while ensuring that others are not unfairly targeted. I think some people who claim to be disabled are quite scummy, and I wonder why it wouldn't be a case of fraud. At the end of the day, there's always a fairer, more human approach.
