    Hello, welcome to PON @Stuart McNeil. We're glad you joined.

    Hello, @HarryNCFC0. Welcome to PON. All the best to you.

    I thought Jimmy Knowles played really well when he was feeling good about himself. He always tried his best, but unfortunately, some of our fans didn't appreciate him and wrote him off even after he played really well. They would say that his hattricks were just lucky, for example, which wasn't very fair. I think you can always make your own luck in football. Anyway, I wish Jimmy Knowles all the best!

    It's really sad to hear that they're going through a tough time, but I hope they can sort things out before it gets too serious. Even still, it's a shame, but at least it gives them some time to try and turn things around.
  5. CliftonMagpie
    That's really nice of Google to do! I don't recall seeing it myself, but to be fair I wasn't searching for Notts around that time. Either way, it's a neat little touch!

    Oh blimey, it's quite surprising, isn't it? Even folks you meet at work sometimes don't have a clue. I remember when my workplace offered a chance to watch a local team play, and some Nottingham locals thought Notts County were the cricket club! When I told them it's my team, one person even said they thought they were more northern than Forest. ???? I do me best to politely educate people about how Notts County is the original Nottingham club, and that they're not about cricket. Gotta spread the word, eh?

    I am excited for the pre-season and will definitely watch the home games. @liampie, I might also join you for some away games.

    It would be great to have sunny days without extreme heat. I hope we can avoid very hot days. I am looking forward to it. This year has been unusual with too much rain and murky days.

    Great job, @Chris. You’ve done well with it, gaffer.

    It’s great to see that German football is taking a more proactive approach than just promoting a mental wellbeing charity. It’s important to go beyond that and for the clubs to be actively involved in supporting their fans, and vice versa. Mental health is a crucial issue and it’s encouraging to see the football community taking steps to address it. @liampie At least you got there and persisted for your friend. I’m sure @Chris appreciates it, even if Notts doesn’t care about all of their fans. There are people here and around him that do care!

    There are members missing in action who, for some reason, don’t post. Life does get in the way and the club’s interest may peak or allow them to lose interest. With all due respect, I care not for those who aren’t present but for those who are. I think @Piethagoram has been amazing since arriving and deserves to be named the Member of the Year. If past members want to get involved, that’s good. If they choose to sit it out for whatever reason, so be it. I don’t miss them; I only miss those who can’t be here like @GrannyPie and @Who r ya?? You Pies!!.

    Points Table: @Fozzy - 4 @Fan of Big Tone - 1 @KB1862 - 1 @liampie - 1 @super_ram - 1 Round 9 Clue: This person was born in a region of the UK known for its textile industry and started their career with a football club located in Greater Manchester. They were voted as the greatest-ever in their position by fans of a certain club. They also represented their country in two sports. Can you guess who it is?

    Welcome to the community @Ohh Tommy Johnson! We hope you have a great time sharing your thoughts and getting settled in.

    I’m happy for you and your family, Adam. You’ve faced challenges but have shown strength and courage. Macaulay is lucky to have such caring parents and siblings. I hope he grows up to love Notts County as much as you do.

    The Samsung Tab series is excellent. Surface Pros are also popular and you can find one that runs Windows 10/11 natively with apps. They use ARM processors, which are efficient but not as powerful as laptop/computer CPUs. I would recommend avoiding Apple. While their products are good for those who can afford them, it can be difficult to get certain models repaired in a timely manner if something goes wrong.

    Alex Pooley ???? This is another example of someone twisting information from a reliable source to create nonsense. I agree with Chris that if both clubs want a deal, they will find a way to make it work and the tweet would be irrelevant. It’s interesting to discuss, but it’s best to avoid people who pretend to know what’s happening. If Ruben and Derby both want to make a deal happen, what’s stopping them? I doubt Ruben would demand specific wages and bonuses and Derby would delay the discussion. They would negotiate and reach an agreement. I don’t think any deal is being considered since Ruben Rodrigues is probably on vacation with his family.
  17. CliftonMagpie
    They speak nonsense and are not a credible paper or a site run by university-educated individuals. They claim to have information from agents and sources that likely don’t exist. I don’t trust anything from that website.
  18. CliftonMagpie
    @Fan of Big Tone - no, neither of those two players. In my opinion, he didn’t spend much time at Notts. His career wasn’t as successful as @liampie’s. I don’t want to comment on that. However, he is known for participating in many charity games.
  19. CliftonMagpie
    Same here, I followed @Fan of Big Tone yesterday. It’s always good to reconnect and make friends with people outside of PON. I don’t tweet much myself; I mostly interact with PON and the boys, but you’re a welcome addition, Tony

    I thought Ollie was doing well, but I still don’t like the Nottingham Post. My issue isn’t with who covers Notts; it’s with the people higher up and the paper itself. It’s a shame Ollie King is moving on. I wish him well. I hope whoever comes in is half as interested in establishing a connection with the fans as Ollie and Leigh Curtis did.

    Well done on the weight loss, @Fozzy! Continue to the point where you feel happier. Don’t feel like you have to conform to others, but it does sound like you’re putting your health first, which is a must. Also, @Fan of Big Tone, it makes sense to cut back on your drinking before the holiday. It’s much easier to lose weight when it’s manageable than it is to lose it afterward. You’ll both pass those fitness tests so that the gaffer can select you both. As for me, I usually only drink on weekends and even then, it’s seldom. I don’t like beer; I prefer vodka, cider and alcopops.
  22. CliftonMagpie
    I wouldn’t know who to suggest at this stage. I do plan to take a look at the free agent list to see if I spot any good talent. I think the club will have already made contact with most of their targets.
  23. CliftonMagpie
    I hope Ruben looks at our squad and his teammates and realises that now isn’t the time for him to leave. Both Notts and Derby have a good chance of gaining promotion. Both have question marks about where they’ll finish, but on paper, they should be in with a shout for promotion. I just don’t see how the club is more appealing than us right now.
  24. CliftonMagpie
    It’s terrible news. I had assumed that he had simply become preoccupied or lost interest, but to discover that the reason is much more tragic. Well, it puts things into perspective. I always perceived him as very supportive and an integral part of our community. Rest in Peace, @Who r ya?? You Pies!!.

    Round 8 has arrived and it's uncertain whether it will be challenging or straightforward. The hope is that it will be more difficult and require several rounds of clues. Best of luck to all! Clue: This person is an English football coach and former professional footballer. They began their career with a Premier League side and went on to play for several Football League teams before playing in Non-league. They returned to one of their former teams as a joint player/manager before departing at the end of a season. Can you guess who this person is?
