  1. RT will sort this out.............nobody wants to lose £20 million for sake of a tiny piece of humble-pie

  8. Dead Man Walking is a 1995 American crime drama film starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn, and co-produced and directed by Tim Robbins, who adapted the screenplay from the non-fiction book of the same name. Sister Helen Prejean establishes a special relationship with Matthew Poncelet (played by Sean Penn), a prisoner on death row in Louisiana, acting as his spiritual adviser after carrying on correspondence with him.
  9. What?......we have to go in a separate room to chat?......this pub is MASSIVE....I never even knew the chat-room was there......I just thought nobody liked me ........and you all disappeared when I came online!

  11. ok.............. You've convinced me @NewNottsFan After sticking various bets totaling £150 on the Barca/Arsenal game............I had £3.98 left in my account...........yes, yes, yes I put it on Notts.....why? Because I AM A NUT-CASE....grrrr....if Notts lose, which they will......I'm not talking to you anymore!!
  12. Internet odds on Smarkets for the game tonight....Accy 1.83 Notts 4.7......over 2.5 goals 1.83 So the internet is predicting 2-1 or 3-0 to Accy......mmmmmm
  13. Here is Tarkers Tall Tales - the story of the Indio beer stack in the Hacienda office: OK...It's a bit warm here, 30 degrees Celsius or 90F, so I think "I'll walk down to Oxxo for a few beers"....Being a good European and also trying to re-cycle glass, I head for the litre returnable bottle section. I get there and litre bottles are "special offer....27% free, 1.27 litres for the price of a litre, (30 pesos about £1.20)"....I think "Oh great, I'll get 4 litres........ Party time"....I get to the till and the guy says "It's Lunes (Monday), Oferta (offer)....buy 2 get 1 free"....I think, "Happy days.....go and get 2 more for free"....I lug the 4 litres, of over-sized bottle at 27% free ....plus my 2 free litres plus 27% free home.....it's about 300 metres across some fields! Then I think "sod it" and I check Tarkers piggy-bank...... then walk back back for another 4 bottles...plus another 2 bottles free!!!!.....now I'm getting plenty of exercise, sweating like JF before his interview. Then I think really big (I keep crunching numbers in my head.....and basically I have decided that I am drinking for free every 3rd day?) Sooooooo......I hire a taxi (£2.50) to take me to the bank.....then I walk back into Oxxo and order 50 litre bottles (27% free) collect my free 25 litre bottles, and load up the taxi!!!!.....Now I've got an additional 75 bottles in this guys taxi.............................Happy Days.
  14. Tecate red can...yes....huge black eagles as the brand symbol I prefer Indio myself.....a slightly darker beer that looks like Newcastle Brown (those words make my mouth literally water).....I've got a few 1.2 litres of Indio in ready for the match......my version of painkillers!!
  15. I cannot blame you....once the hope and "buzz" has gone it is difficult to motivate yourself to travel 100+ miles on a tuesday night. Get yourself a 12-pack, throw a few logs on the Aga and snuggle up to the radio. ps remove all sharp instruments from the room prior to kick-off!!
  16. You are a brave man...I take my proverbial hat off to you Sir. I look forward to your normal excellent match report on here....it should make entertaining midnight reading. ps It has dawned on me that we are discussing a probable loss to Accrington Stanley......ridiculous huh? It doesn't seem so many years ago that I was sat there taking pics of the final scoreboard at the Stadium of Light in Sunderland and buying 5 tickets for the next match v Fulham. How the mighty have fallen!
  17. I can see one of two things happening: Plan A - Either Notts sit back (once again) away from home, play it tight with 10 men behind the ball....and try to score on the break by hoofing it up the pitch to the lone striker............probable loss by 1 or2 goals only Plan B - Keep it tight at the back, but encourage the midfield and/or wingers and/or forwards to play the game further up the pitch......get forward etc. By attacking more often, you actually relieve pressure on the defence and stop them scoring.....just call me a football genius huh. The problem with Plan B is that if it backfires horribly............. and we lose by 3 or 4 goals JF appears to have a siege-like mentality. In his quest to defend at all costs, we have stopped scoring against the "better" teams in the division.......and here is the classic dilemma.......we now have two of the top teams back-to-back. The Orient game was proof.......our siege-like, don't move forward out of your zones, type of play, meant that despite Orient being poor.....we were unable to take advantage. I shot on target at home is simply a joke......and one that isn't even remotely funny. If we lose both of the upcoming games heavily..........he is finished....he knows that, we know that...."Outer Siberia for you son...toodle pip" One draw....and a tight loss, will probably see him limp on for a while yet. Two wins and....errrr.....JF will turn into a football genius and Ray will splash out on a helicopter ride for JF to land in the centre-circle at ML.......the adoring crowds will lap it up!! Prediction - Notts won't win.
  18. Not overly impressed with Carroll gifting the ball to their midfielder for their 2nd.....hugely impressed with Stead, again running at the defence from deep creating our first....sublime finish
  19. 18 corners and 16 shots.......I guess we cannot criticize the effort?
  20. York's goal difference has improved .................from minus 23.....to minus 21......hahahaha
  21. OK.....I'm backing 5 plus goals.....might as well get something out of this fiasco scrap that......backing the draw......surely we can manage that?
