    The successful implementation of goal line technology in football has demonstrated how technology can enhance the accuracy of decision-making in the sport. This technology provides clear, indisputable evidence whether the ball has crossed the goal line, thereby eliminating any potential human error in such crucial decisions. Its effectiveness could be a strong argument for the English Football League to consider the addition of VAR. Video Assistant Referee has been utilised in the Championship, League One and Two playoff finals. If this technology is put into practice, it could lead to further talks about the introduction of VAR. The EFL would want to maintain its image as a modern league system. Typically, once a piece of technology is adopted, it’s not long before additional technologies are considered.

    I stand at away games, but I never obstruct anyone’s view. I always make sure to check before I stand, and I never sit near the bottom. Typically, I’m with other fans who are standing. I think it’s common sense not to sit lower and block the view. I’ve seen many fans standing in areas where there are no seats, which is more about our time in the non-league where clubs are more relaxed. I don’t think anyone should do this in league games now. The front is usually where the inebriated fans hang out.

    Under the new rules that allow clubs to sign a certain number of players who wouldn’t otherwise be permitted, it was never going to be rejected. I believe he will provide us with a much-needed boost. However, it does raise questions about Junior Morias.

    I’m in awe of skilled photographers. Wildlife and aeroplanes are all challenging subjects to photograph, and when you see someone with a natural talent, it’s deserving of praise.

    Once I’m done with my current posts, I’ll make a point to follow some members whose comments I find enjoyable, as well as take the time to follow certain parts of the site. I think it’s worth noting that I’ll actively browse and not just wait for information to come to me. There’s a lot more pleasure to be had from digging in and exploring - that’s how you discover new things you haven’t seen before. But the follow function is equally important.

    Welcome to the community here at PON, @TruroPieSi. It would be great to see you on here in the near future.

    I believe that when Notts begins matches in a better way, we are moving towards creating opportunities rather than trying to make things happen. At that stage, we appear to have exhausted our ideas and I think there’s a need to be more precise.

    I understand that when we lend players, supporters of those teams might wish for a local player to get an opportunity. I get that. I also recognise that while young players won’t improve without playing, they need to be good enough to begin their journey. If they perform well, they become part of the team. The significance of the loan system is to increase the depth in key areas, not just with any player or youngster. This could be with seasoned talent, which is harder to find in the loan market, or promising young players who are more available but also more sought after. We’ve been lucky to have some top-notch loan players, so not all loan signings are poor. However, you have to play them to determine if they’re any good.

    Crewe is likely to contest for the ball, I don’t envision them letting us keep it without a fight. Notts needs to apply pressure to regain possession and utilise it effectively. It’s a great chance to secure an additional 3 points and put our recent unavoidable losses behind us. I predict Macaulay Langstaff will score twice, with the final score being 3-1. Jodi Jones is expected to score the other goal for us.

    In my view, the ball crossed the line when the Wrexham goalkeeper attempted to save it. His body pushed it over as he slid for the ball. It was evidently a goal. Introducing goal-line technology to all EFL leagues could be beneficial, but I’m aware this could lead to the use of VAR. I’m undecided on this, as it could correct many errors made by lower-tier officials, yet we’ve seen it mismanaged in other places.
  11. Joshua
    Jodi Jones is a remarkable player and I’m happy for him. He’s been deserving of this award in the past, so it’s great that he’s finally been named the League Two Player of the Season. It’s some welcome good news.
  12. Joshua
    If you’ve backed Notts before the Reedtz brothers’ era, you’d be familiar with this situation, and it’s disappointing. I fear we’re falling out of the promotion race as teams typically hit their stride at this stage, and we’re not. The midfield was largely to blame for the goals. People can keep pointing fingers at Aidan Stone, but no goalie could have stopped the opportunities Gillingham created. With three centre backs, insufficient wide cover, and a static approach to middle pressing, Notts faltered due to a lack of ruthlessness. Fixing this will take time, and Stuart Maynard needs to be afforded that time.
  13. Joshua
    Fans are worrying prematurely. It’s too soon to talk about contracts, and our current form is leading to unfair criticism of individual players. I agree with Sally’s tweet, Cedwyn Scott’s comeback would be significant, and I’m eager for it. Please, let’s focus on the positives. The team is down, and hearing that fans would let them go is disheartening. Ideally, this could motivate them, but mostly it’s sad. If we were on a winning streak, this wouldn’t even be a topic.

    Hello, @Sophie d. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham. It's good to have you with us.

    Hello, welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, @Mapperley Pie. It's good to see another new member here.

    Hello, @Wheelbarrow repair man. Welcome to the Pride of Nottingham, any chance you can fix the wheelbarrow for Notts?
  17. Joshua
    The Reedtz brothers have chosen Stuart Maynard, and that’s good enough for me. I have faith in their choices and think that Maynard has a lot of potential. He might need some time to adjust to things at Meadow Lane, as it’s a big leap from Wealdstone, no disrespect to them. But he’s inheriting a good team and we might see a few more join. I reckon there’s still scope to look for a player like Matt Palmer and perhaps another to play in the striker’s support role.
  18. Joshua
    I still think the referee should have sent off the Barrow player. It was a reckless and appalling tackle. Given his speed, there was no chance of getting the ball and he wasn’t even close to making contact. He simply took out Jodi Jones.
  19. Joshua
    Notts didn’t really step up their game. We should have capitalised on the fouls they made, even though the referee didn’t seem keen on giving proper penalties. Barrow didn’t pose much of a challenge, but Notts’ playstyle required high quality to alter the result. In my opinion, Jodi Jones was the only player who seemed capable of making a difference.
  20. Joshua
    I’m not too familiar with him, but his connection to Notts is interesting. Having been part of Forest’s academy, he’s likely received high-quality coaching. I wish him the best of luck with his loan.
  21. Joshua
    The update is encouraging. Notts has done a commendable job helping the players recover, and it’s reassuring to know that those who’ve had surgeries haven’t faced any complications. I’m particularly hopeful about Matt Palmer’s recovery; it would be unfortunate if his injury affected his style of play, but I don’t think it will. I’m also looking forward to Cedwyn Scott’s return.
  22. Joshua
    Stuart Maynard brings a fresh perspective. I appreciate his concise yet detailed responses to questions. He seems to be a thoughtful individual who pays attention to every aspect that can make a difference. He’s somewhat similar yet distinct from Luke Williams. I sincerely hope the team makes a positive impression on him.
  23. Joshua
    Saturday feels different with a new manager at the helm. It's crucial we support the team and trust in Maynard's process, whether it's a win, draw, or loss against Barrow. The key for me will be how we manage the game, cutting down on mistakes and staying focused for 90 minutes. Predicting a solid 2-0, keeping those 3 points in Nottingham!
  24. Joshua
    I’m in agreement with @liampie. This is something that could put me off eating for weeks.
  25. Joshua
    It’s excellent news about the injury update, and I’m truly grateful to learn that all the players are recovering well. While some may be concerned about Matt Palmer missing pre-season, I believe it’s best for him to return only when he’s completely fit. The inclusion of Cedwyn Scott in the team will certainly bolster our attack. I’m hopeful that Stuart Maynard can establish a successful partnership between Cedwyn Scott and Macaulay Langstaff.
