  1. No clipboard man - no party.
  2. The UK main stream media are fascinating in a way. Even before the internet existed, they've conducted click bait nonsense of dire warnings in winter that it might get cold and in the summer catastrophic predictions that it might be warmer than winter. Nostradamus with a 0% hit record.
  3. None. Burn them all in the depths of hell.
  4. Difficult to pick. Nobody was terribly but most average. Tsaroulla too for me.
  5. Great move for him and so pleased he played well on his debut. Keep it up Ryley
  6. I think you missed the sarcasm bit but ok. You can boil this down to a very basic argument. If the renewable energy sources were as cost effective and reliable as the more traditional sources, every country in the world would be clambering over eachother to implement it. This includes left and right, it's basic economics at the core. Why aren't they? Why do they have to be convinced and persuaded to even pay lip service to it? It's either because they're deluded morons that want to destroy the Earth - OR - it's because the renewable sources aren't as economically viable as you're conveying. I'm willing to bet it's the latter. I don't care if you believe in climate change or not - or more importantly as to what extent you believe humans are responsible for it, to be honest this isn't my area of interest nor something I've studied at length - but you do not destroy your economy to virtue signal when the rest of the world isn't doing the same. It's madness. You invest in the people and fund research, scientific advancement, engineering... To get you technologically to the point where net zero is not only economically prudent, it's financially profitable. That is capitalism.
  7. All you need to know
  8. ANDREW NEIL: Starmer wants to tell us what to eat, what to drive and how to heat our homes. His climate change obsession will be his downfall | Daily Mail Online WWW.DAILYMAIL.CO.UK The Prime Minister went in person and mob-handed to impress on everybody how Britain 'leads the world on climate...
  9. I think it says more about fairgameuk than it does Notts. I'll be taking a mental note to disregard anything they say in the future, for or against Notts or otherwise.
  10. I don't think this is fair. You post almost exclusively from one viewpoint, Robbie is your antithesis.
  11. I stopped paying into the 'big' charities a long time ago. I still donate to select charities, but you can also be more targeted in donating to community hubs and the like - it does require a bit more research on your own part though.
  12. Good for Jatta and good long-term for the club (having internationals being developed in house). Short-term it leaves us extremely light. I guess there is no word on Scott coming back? McGoldrick still out? Brown's performances certainly have improved recently, but every time we have seen him in the 1 up top alone, he looked lost.
  13. Great footballer. Good MOTD host. Shame he had to constantly bring his political baggage with him everywhere he went. You only have to look across the pond to see how the general population takes to pandering from multi millionaires and billionaires completely out of touch with the everyday person.
  14. Good run out for the youth, fringe players and those returning from injury. Ness looked impressive. Brown wouldn't get a game for the B side on that showing.
  15. Chicksen is a good player. He's probably fairly comfortable being a L2 fullback. The issue is he doesn't really fit into our system. He's not really physically dominant enough to be a starting LCB, but he's also not attacking enough to be a wing back in the way we play.
  16. That's all well and good if I was giving Maynard a rating for the season. I wasn't. It was for this one particular game.
  17. I don't think it is. We've played 2 decent/ steady league 2 sides at home, We've lost them both in a very similar fashion. "He played what he thought was his best eleven" - well of course he did!!! It'd be weird if he wasn't. He played an abundance of defensive midfielders in forward positions, while playing an attacking player deep in midfield. Resultantly, we failed to create chances. Our game plan never changed all game, swing balls into the box and it wielded almost nothing, we never changed it. None of the substitutes had any impact on the game.
  18. Yeah, Cundy did alright when he came on in the position he did. The rating for doing pretty much alright is a 6, which is why he got it. Did you think he did something wrong to warrant him being knocked down to a 4? Not sure I can be accused of being biased against Martin. It's the first time I've seen him play. Unless I have a passionate dislike for Martins. He didn't take on his man, lost the ball twice whilst doing fairly mundane tasks and generally looked pretty useless. Maybe 1 is harsh, but it wouldn't be above a 3.
  19. Bass - 6 - didn't do anything wrong. Macari - 6 - didn't do anything wrong. Platt - 6 - was fairly good. Bedeau - 6.5 - tried to offer more going forward. Tsaroulla - 5 - didn't do enough going forward. Palmer - 6 - was OK Crowley - 6.5 - good, missed our best chance Robertson - 6 - was ok Gordon - 6 - put a lot of balls into the box. Nobody on the end of them min Austin - 6 - decent today Jatta - 5 - missed key chances. Abbott - 6 - why do we play him out of position Scott - 5 - not good though. Martin - 1 - pathetic showing Cundy - 6 - put himself about Maynard - 2 - was the tactic to keep playing balls into their box, when they were easily dealing with it? Plan B?
  20. It's ludicrous to say that it's "as simple as leaving fossil fuels in the ground". If you did that today, millions would be dead in weeks. The only way out I can see is technological advancement that is as cost effective as burning fossil fuels. You can get away with higher prices for "green" - quotations for a reason - energy in Germany, other western nations, for a time, while the economy is fine-ish. Eventually even this will come to a crux. The important thing is price efficiency. Whatever replaces fossil fuels must be economically as viable, or, cheaper than the alternative. Currently, the only thing that comes close to that is nuclear power plants, yet Germany is closing theirs down. France doing a pretty good job in building their number up though, hence why we import from them while Wallace from Wallace and gromit is building a few wind turbines in Scotland. One thing that will not convince anybody, nor bring a solution any closer, is wearing an orange shirt and gluing yourself to the motorway. Perhaps we could set up giant hamster wheels for these people, directly fed to the grid. That would be both environmentally beneficial and cover their prison sentences.
  21. Hopefully the rumours are just that and it's a slight niggle or minor injury. I'm not ITK or anything like that, just reporting what's flying around on the usual social media sites.
  22. Rumours flying around he's out for the season.
  23. Slocombe - 6.5 - Made some key saves and reflex shot stopping, something he is good at. The usual heart in mouth / almost monumental f-up in the first seconds, couple of flaps. Cisse - 7.5 - Really impressed. Lots of pace and put a few good balls into the box. Tired towards the end. Cundy - 5.5 - Lots of mistakes with the ball at his feet. Should have cost us - didn't. McDonald - 8 - Really impressive half. Won everything, passing excellent, stepped out on occasion. Chicksen - 7 - Solid. Did everything he needed to. Gordon - 7.5 - A menace down the left and took his goal well. Hinchy - 6.5 - Solid if unspectacular. Tired. Austin - 7 - Bundle of energy. Reynold - 6.5 - He was tidy, contributed well. Tired in latter stages Grant - 7 - Really tidy at times. How he missed that chance, though. Brown - 6 - Largely anonymous. Expected more. Macari - 7 - Solid when he came on. Tsaroulla - 6.5 - Did his job. Adifeh - N/A - Didn't see too much of him. Sanderson - 6.5 - Ran after everything. Didn't always come off for him, but he was busy. Muir - N/A - Not on long enough, but exciting to see a 15 year old breaking through.
  24. McDonald has been impressive so far, solid. Both Chicksen and Gordon looking good down the left. Like the look of Cisse, couple of good balls in the box. Cundy extremely dodgy with the ball at his feet. Brown anonymous
  25. All the best to him. Don't think it was ever a lack of effort, but he failed to cement a spot when he was brought in to be number 1. Slocombe and loanees were preferred to him by 2 separate managers. Hopefully he performs and has interest in January to get his career back on track. Tiernan has gone on a permanent
