  1. @super_ram have you defected to the red side of the trent with "COYR" ?
  2. This a curious post to see if, other than Notts, is there a team that people follow or keep an eye out for results? For me, I follow Orlando City and keep an eye out on how Coalville Town are doing. When Sky Sports started broadcasting the MLS on a regular basis, I was regularly tuning in to watch games (any chance to watch football I took tbf). So when more and more teams started becoming part of the MLS I wanted a team to follow over in the States. Having been to Orlando on multiple occasions and having a real fondness for the place, I thought it fitting to follow Orlando City. Been following them for about 7 or 8 years now. One day I'd love to go back to Orlando and hopefully go see them play. As for Coalville, I've been to see them numerous times as their ground is about a 20 minute walk away from where I live. Due to them being local, I often keep an eye out to see how they're doing and go down to watch them with the kids whenever I can. The only time I've been against Coalville when watching them was when they came to the San Sirrel in the FA Cup. Imagine the journey I would've had on the way back from Nottingham to Coalville with my lad. I was dreading it, my lad had a Notts County hat and scarf on that day but fortunately not much in terms of Coalville fans while making the journey home
  3. @liampie at the time it's understandable why they boo'd him but not justified. Being in that form, it was surprising to see him called up but Sven was another who had faith in him and he again repaid faith. The fact that Crouchy went from all the booing and doubting to being one of, if not the most, loved footballers ever.
  4. I don't think it will be as gripping as Notts v Wrexham but I hope that there's a great challenge at the top so that people carry on taking notice of the National League. For years it's gone unnoticed but has grown in numbers over the past couple of seasons even more so after last season.
  5. @allardyces tashhttps://amp.tmz.com/2023/06/29/elon-musk-mark-zuckerberg-mma-fight-colosseum-rome-italian-government-dana-white-ufc/ Well and truly underway I'm quite looking forward to this new social media app tbf. Insta runs well so having an app that is basically twitter ran by meta could be what is needed. Even if to force Musk into changing things back.
  6. @liampie glad you enjoyed it mate! It's incredible to see how his journey panned out isn't it? Agreed 100% about Abby supporting him, his career really seemed to hit a good run when he met her. Graham Taylor, Harry Redknapp and Rafa Benitez all did well with Crouchy. Especially Redknapp and Rafa, they both knew how to treat him and that he needed a confidence boost and be repaid them for the faith they showed him. Have to give credit to Liverpool fans, they stood by him through everything and was willing him on every step of the way. Many fan bases would have turned their back on a player in situations like he was in.
  7. Tbf I only use twitter every now and again. I'll use it occasionally but more time than not it's to keep up with stories like football, wrestling etc so with the limitation on tweets, it becomes less likely for me to use.
  8. Agree with @AmericanPie it's all due to Martinez' antics in the World Cup final these rules were actually put in place. However, for a few years now they've been limiting goalkeepers doing things during penalties and introducing new measures to stop them doing some things that could give them an advantage yet nothing done about penalty takers doing their own antics. They said they were clamping down on stuttering run ups to avoid keepers making a move before the kick is even taken but there's still some of that going about. @Fan of Big Tone I agree to an extent on the fact an attacker should be given an advantage as there's been an offence but there's less antics in normal time than there is in penalty shootouts where there is no advantage due to offences.
  9. Expected twitter to decline, just not this quickly. Just another way for him to make a profit getting people to pay for a blue tick to view more content. Last night, while watching Money in the Bank, I actually reached my limit of posts per day and was unable to get involved with reactions following matches or anything of the sort.
  10. Kept us all hanging on in suspense. Will he won't he? Fantastic news!
  11. Lee Hughes. Although, even though he was signed to them, I don't think he made a single appearance for Nuneaton.
  12. @super_ram without doubt it's going to cause more controversy. Can see it getting a bit hectic. @menzinho agreed. The taker now has the upper hand during the shootout and the rule of keepers staying on the line is justified cause it opens more areas where as the closer they are by coming off the line the easier it is for them to save. Good point about the providing a list cause what do they deem "Taunting"?
  13. Starting from today these rules have come in to place for Goalkeepers during penalty shootouts. Is it really necessary to make these changes? I mean penalty shootouts are a psychological battle and goalkeepers do whatever they can to win that battle and save the penalty. Especially the part where they say "distract the Taker". Surely that's all part of the battle? But what about the people taking penalties? Will they put in rules that stop them using tactics like stuttering run ups or feinting to shoot? This could potentially lead to long penalty shootouts. But also what happens if a GK does any of these? Red Card? Yellow Card? What do you guys think to this?
  14. Wish him all the best. It's great when a Premier League team takes chances on lower league players. I think he'll remain at that level or there abouts.
  15. @Chris never understood why Spain never called him up if I'm honest. The only thing I will say about him is that he uses his feet to much when it comes to saving. He's slowly cut that out of his game and does it less often but it bugs me when keepers use feet instead of hands in certain situations. If he can cut the mistakes out, he'd be up there with the best.
  16. @Fan of Big Tone can't beat a good ol' Carboot. We used to go regularly. Never went to one before I met my wife, it was her and her mum that introduced me to them tbf.
  17. Nothing major planned tonight. Usual Saturday take my daughter to dance, have a walk round the shops with my wife and lad till we need to go pick my daughter up. Then it's on to the night time. WWE Money in the Bank is on. Usually I stay up till daft hours watching the events. Won't need to tomorrow night as it's being held in London so it'll be on at the reasonable time of 8pm. Sunday will probably end up doing what we usually do have a movie day. Unless someone suggests Carboot that is.
  18. @Chris I think he will come good. GKs have the luxury of having prolonged careers so at the age he is he could go on in the Premier League for a while. If he can keep up his performances he shown at Orient, he'll be a hit but on the flip side of things having better players around him will he shine as much as he did at Orient. Not a criticism just you often see players stand out in certain teams cause they're seeing more action.
  19. I believe it's a loan deal but rumours will float since we've signed a new GK. But I'll be disappointed if it's anything other than a loan.
  20. Sponsor being in red really has caused a meltdown on socials. I don't get it tbf, it's just a sponsor in red. As long as the partnerships good and kit is nice it really doesn't matter about a bit of red writing.
  21. @upthepies since switching to Nike I think I've only purchased 2 tbf. They're not as appealing as the umbro ones were. Should have stuck with them but I don't get how they can make the Lionesses kits brilliant but the Men's just have not that likeable designs. Can see why many choose to buy Lionesses shirts over the Men's tbf but even they're expensive.
  22. @liampie see I disagree with that. When United needed De Gea the most, he was there for them. The amount of games he's kept them with tremendous saves. But, he is prone to a mistake quite often. More than he should. I wouldn't say he's world class but I wouldn't say he's as bad as people make him out to be. Just needs to cut out the mistakes. Never understood this either. If a player wants out let them go. Fergie never had an issue with getting rid of players irrelevant of how good or important they were for the club.
  23. @liampie 100% it's why I trust Score Draw and buy from stores that supply Score Draw shirts. Quality is fantastic and has been taken care of to manufacturer. Sizes are accurate too. My mate has a couple retro kits and said I should have gone a size or 2 higher but that shouldn't be the case.
