  1. Who wouldn’t be delighted to see Jim playing for Notts again in League Two? He has been on one hell of a journey for Notts and I am pleased, just like others have said, that he has signed a new deal. One year is long in football; he may keep going. He may retire?! I don’t worry so much about the future now; it’s just good to have it settled.
  2. This is a bit of a disappointment, everyone. I am counting on you lot to know your stuff and to do the work required for me to feel optimistic about potential rumours. It’s a bit of a non-story at the moment; we will have to see if anything else comes of this.
  3. It’s sad to see Ruben leave; Oxford United have captured a very good player who should fit in well. I think he will be well prepared for playing in League One. It’s not as different as people claim; teams are more skilled and happier to see what teams do with the ball. He should get a lot more chances to go for goal and set others up; it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up as one of the highest assist makers again. I wish him well.
  4. I feel we are lucky that David McGoldrick wanted to come back. I think he will have wanted to do this for a while, but it will be good to see how he does over the course of the season. If Notts only gets one year out of him, it’s one year he may have spent with Derby scoring bags of goals. Isn’t it better that he does this for us?
  5. Poor Bury; I wish them all the success they need to get back to where they belong. I am pleased they have signed Carl Dickinson; some experience will do them wonders.
  6. When Dion Kelly-Evans was at Notts, everyone seemed to love him despite me recalling comments about him not being the best. I wouldn’t take signs of him driving to Notts as him trying to seek a deal here; I see little reason for the club to pay a fee for someone they released. I wish Kelly-Evans all the best; I hope he manages to attract a bid from a club willing to give him more game time. I don’t blame a player who wants to play; I feel more annoyed with those happy to sit on the bench and do nothing.
  7. So, we just have Aaron Nemane and Kyle Cameron left to sign on from the renewals. What’s the likelihood of Nemane leaving the same day Cameron is announced as staying?
  8. This signing feels a lot more important knowing that Ruben Rodrigues has left Notts for pastures new. I think David has the chance to become more than one County’s hero. I think he will prove himself to be a very good addition even though it’s for the short term. The good thing about David McGoldrick signing is that if we need a striker, he can fill that role. If we need someone to cover out wide, while not being the most natural, he can do that too. Yes, I know he’s getting on but I think he and Jim O’Brien can match many of the lads for fitness. Great signing!
  9. Oxford United fans should be happy because Ruben is outstanding. A very good player, one who should excel in League One. Good luck to him.
  10. It’s always sad to see a good player leave, even worse when you look up to them or rate them highly. He’s made a decision to leave based on his own aspirations and it’s hard to allow the sadness to become bitter. Not for a player like Ruben. I have enjoyed watching him play when I have been able to watch games remotely.
  11. Fantastic news! I am pleased that we have managed to retain some experience from last season. We need Aaron Nemane and Kyle Cameron to extend now, but I do agree that Jim has been a workhorse for Notts.
  12. The fan's behaviour is foolish and his ban is a just consequence. However, if he returns and causes any further disruption, it would be unwise. Why spoil the season after it has ended? Hopefully, he did not attend Wembley.
  13. I was wondering if any of you have considered using a signature to express your thoughts or favourite quotes. A signature can be a great way to share something that is meaningful to you with others. It can also be a way to add a personal touch to your posts and make them more unique. Have any of you tried this before? If so, what kind of quotes or thoughts do you like to include in your signature? I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
  14. If you had the chance to speak to Christoffer and Alexander Reedtz, the owners of Notts County, what would you say? Would you express your gratitude for their investment in the club and their efforts to improve its performance? Perhaps you would like to know more about their future plans for the team and how they see it developing in the coming years. Alternatively, you might have some suggestions for them on how to improve the club. Maybe you have ideas on how to enhance the matchday experience for fans or how to increase community engagement. Whatever your thoughts, this is an opportunity to share them with the Reedtz brothers and have your voice heard. So, what would you say?
  15. I like Jodi; he’s got that quality about his approach to playing, and the way he thinks before making decisions seems almost instant. I hope he enjoys the three internationals he’s on; if he bags a goal, that would be excellent too.
  16. I wish to see ex-managers and players succeed only; it’s good that he has already found his next project, and I wish him well without.
  17. I don’t remember his time at Notts; it might have been during a period where I was busy with work or possibly just one of those loans that slipped my radar. If he came back after leaving Sheffield United, it might be seen as a coup for the club.
  18. The club is in turmoil for sure; it doesn’t sound like a happy situation for anyone involved. I think they need a homegrown player that can lift and give them hope. Someone who can become a captain, a leader, and someone to look up to. If they don’t have any players who try to get the fans to calm down or the owners to sort the mess out, it could be a worse outcome down the line.
  19. I can’t say anything about the quality, but I am against players taking big paydays just to make more money, and I dislike leagues that resort to these cheap antics. It’s not a serious, competitive league if you are spending £300m on one player while the rest of their teammates most likely don’t get paid 1% of that.
  20. The home fixtures should bring in some good revenue for the club. As for the away games, they are all nice trips which fans can make the most of their local areas before games. York and Boston especially since they have tourist locations.
  21. I would imagine the list of missed players is never-ending, but at least with the recruitment Notts has now, good players are being spotted, signed and improved. Notts just needs to start getting fees for the players instead of allowing deals to expire.
  22. It’s a good line-up of exhibition games before the season starts. Pre-season is useful for various reasons; a manager can tinker with his starting 11, see which players work well together and see if any of the youngsters can step up without the worry of losing a competitive game.
  23. This is impressive; I hope he stays myself. He enjoyed celebrating the promotion; I hope that stays in the back of his mind when he makes his decision because there’s a good chance it might happen again here.
  24. I’m sorry, I found myself in an emotional tangle and I probably shouldn’t have posted what I wrote. It’s just that I am fed up. I thought I was on the road to recovery until my last hospital visit. My neighbours are wonderful people. They’re the ones I purchased Notts shirts for. The couple’s children thought it was cool to be supporting a team competing against Ryan Reynolds, which is pretty sweet. Their oldest also likes that we have black and white stripes. I am thinking of doing the same this year but with the away shirt if it looks nice. Thank you for your kind words and supportive messages @Fan of Big Tone and @super_ram. Tony, I hope your wife is okay.
  25. Awful and saddening news, my thoughts go out to her family and friends.
