  1. I felt disappointed yesterday with all the moans and groans. I have watched Notts for many years and have seen all the bad times: the foundation of Lifeline, which gave the club much-needed support, many relegations, and all the hassle from the last two ownerships. I don’t know why some people feel the need to be vocally disconcerting and get on the players’ backs over a pre-season friendly. It would be nice to have just one season where these fans kept quiet. There is no need for it. Why direct disrespectful comments to some of the younger squad members? They may have made mistakes, but they will learn. Will these fans be there the next time something happens where a bit of support is required?
  2. Welcome to PON @rohan, be sure to tell us about yourself.
  3. Trajectories in football can be highly unpredictable, with underdogs often putting up a good fight. Reading all your estimations has been fascinating. I agree that a little consideration should be given to teams that have invested in their squads, such as Gillingham.
  4. Certainly, his great contributions to Notts County will be missed. Yet, let's not discount the exciting potential that this new chapter with Portsmouth could hold for Doyle. Personally, I'm excited to see how his journey unfolds, especially in his new mentoring role.
  5. Junior Morias may not be at the top of the pecking order, but with such a long season ahead, it'll be crucial to have him ready and waiting for his opportunity. Don't forget the FA Cup and EFL Cup games – that's where he may be able to make his mark.
  6. It's incredibly touching to witness Jodi Jones' reaction, trying to play it cool but clearly moved by Maddison's act of kindness.
  7. I can't help but be moved by the kindness and consideration Stoke City has evinced through their commendable philanthropic gesture. It serves as a gentle reminder that football is a social glue, binding us all together, regardless of which team we support.
  8. Welcome to PoN @Michael D P
  9. He has officially joined Cork City today. https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2023/july/brooks-to-cork-060723/
  10. Hello, @nottsfan81. It's nice to see another new face on the site. Welcome from me too.
  11. Hello, @BigTom91. It's nice to see another new face on the site. Welcome from me too.
  12. Notts County is lucky to have a player like Matty Palmer in their ranks. He epitomises the spirit and determination of the club.
  13. It's brilliant to hear such stories of dedication and loyalty from fans like Paul and Evan Linley. Their passion for the game and their club is infectious; it's wonderful to see how football has a positive impact on families' bonding experiences.
  14. The club's tribute to Vinter and the outpouring of support from fans and former teammates shows the impact he had on Notts County.
  15. I’m not swayed by who he’s played under or with; I’m more interested in his own abilities and I’m mindful of when clubs dress up players of a young age. All the previous signings have spoken for themselves, so I’m a little sceptical of this signing for the reasons I mentioned.
  16. I don’t travel to many away games, but I do cover most of the local ones. Doncaster Rovers has nice and friendly fans. Some are a little full of themselves but mean well. There are great pubs nearby in Mansfield. One is near the train ground and another is close to the ground. As for food, I’m not sure because I don’t eat at grounds. Mansfield and Doncaster are easy journeys to make.
  17. The Reedtz will still need someone behind them who knows the game inside out and has contacts that can make things happen for the club. Personally, I hope that the next CEO has worked with bigger teams than one coming up from the lower leagues. I understand that whoever comes in should do a good job, but as we continue our journey, it would be handy to have someone familiar with League One, the Championship etc.
  18. Jim’s experience gives the club the right balance with the age range of the squad. I would welcome a few youngsters and our own youth players to step up. Pair them with a first-team player; see who shines and who doesn’t. We have to give youngsters a chance; otherwise players like Jim O’Brien wouldn’t have such good careers. It’s good to have him still playing.
  19. I think Kyle Cameron has a lot more to offer Notts and will continue to improve. I have times where I wished he would be more alert and make fewer mistakes like he did pulling Paul Mullin to the ground. If he can get that fine balance, he will be superb. I do like him and think offensively he’s very good.
  20. It’s hard not to agree, but at the same time it feels unbelievable just how quickly things have changed.
  21. Very elegantly dressed, he looks a million pounds in his suit. I hope he gets to wear it again at the end of this season, for us, might I add.
  22. Kristian Dennis was always a good striker - very much a player who could find space and tuck shots away. He worked hard too and always tried to make himself known. Good signing for Tranmere.
  23. Welcome to PoN, I hope you settle in well and enjoy being a member @Bigrossco1862.
  24. Welcome to PoN, @Sirrels County. As you can see, we both honour Jimmy in our own way.
  25. It’s good to have you come back home, David McGoldrick. Work hard for us and you will win over the majority of fans. You have always been a favourite of mine and I’m glad you are wearing our shirt again. You have the quality and the experience to make a difference for us.
