  1. Hello everyone! Welcome from me too.
  2. Good luck to Harvey Owen. It’s great when youngsters get a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play for one of the best teams in England.
  3. I thought that Ollie Tipton looked useful when Notts played Telford. I really hope he can settle and contribute to our season effectively. I trust the club’s recruitment, so I am sure he will be useful.
  4. Hello, @Steveyward, Welcome to PON. Its a good community here.
  5. Hello, @David Shipston, Welcome to PON. Its a good community here.
  6. The Scottish Championship is close to the standard of Leagues One and Two, so I think the move is excellent for him. If he does well, Celtic, Rangers, Dundee, etc. will most likely show interest in him, as well as teams in the EFL.
  7. Excellent team photo, it’s always good to see these. It’s great that everyone in the photo works 100% towards bringing the club success.
  8. From what I have seen, he is a very intelligent defender, physically strong and with a decent level of pace. I don’t mind loan signings like this, as it makes sense to bring in someone who will have to work hard but isn’t guaranteed to start. He looks like a very promising player, so I hope we can help him on his journey while seeing the best from him on the pitch.
  9. Good luck to Andy Dallas. I don’t blame him for choosing League One and Barnsley. It could pay off nicely for him.
  10. Ian Burchnall could have been a good manager, but it seems he bought into his own hype a little too much. I don’t think Forest Green Rovers was a good move for someone with ambitions, as Notts were on the verge of chasing promotion and FGR looked dead set for relegation from League One. I can’t imagine it was a much bigger payday, but who cares now? We have Luke Williams, who is 100% better than Burchnall. Burchnall was decent enough, but his decisions in games weren’t always the best. His reading and tactics alone lost Notts points.
  11. Good singer, I think her move to America played a lot on her mind as people who have spoken about her, always mention London and how she liked being there. Rest in peace, may she finally rest.
  12. It's good to see a seasoned player like McGoldrick reiterating the importance of hard work and fitness. He seems to genuinely understand the responsibility he has towards the younger players and is keen to set a good example. His comment about being in the wrong game if you don't enjoy the hard work is absolutely spot-on. All the best to McGoldrick and the whole team for the upcoming season.
  13. Michael Doyle is a good option for the role. I wished he had managed to find a role at Notts, but after his departure for FGR, some fans might be inclined to feel differently. Personally, I think he’s a good coach.
  14. It’s fantastic how McGoldrick moved beyond the tackle, controlled it, and then unleashed a superb effort on goal. It’s a showstopper for a friendly; you simply can’t beat it.
  15. I think it’s a decision which FIFA needs to carefully consider. If they make a decision, it needs to be stood by, unlike the Olympics and some other competitive sports where they allowed it for a period and then simply didn’t acknowledge the period after changing their minds. I personally don’t have a problem with it, provided it’s within the fairness and professionalism of the game.
  16. Rest in peace, Trevor Francis.
  17. Welcome to the site and community, @George L, If you like talking Notts, you will enjoy the site. You may even make some friends.
  18. Super's affection for Notts and Derby County is impressively enduring. Anyone can fall in love with a football team, but maintaining that love through trials and tribulations, and it with kindness towards another club is a rare feat. His experiences at various matches with two different clubs were likely full of mixed emotions, and it impresses me how he accepts the highs and lows, seeing them as integral parts of supporting a football club.
  19. A team that works hard and has fun together is one that's sure to give its best on the field. Well done to Williams for recognising and fostering this within his group!
  20. Williams knows what he’s doing. I think the Boston friendly was a good test of frustration and determination to get the winning goal. Scott did well to put away O’Brien’s cross, but there were chances that could have gone in and on another day may have done so.
  21. Just as I saw the Stoke City game as a good lesson for observing Notts’ defensive struggles and lack of possession, I think the Boston United game was useful for the amount of ball we had and how they made the players use it. It was a game that, a while ago, Notts would have lost or drawn - most likely lost due to one attack that caught the players off guard.
  22. Before announcing the numbers next time, Notts might want to ask if anyone wants to swap beforehand, and then it saves a lot of hassle. Imagine if you rushed out to get their name and number on the back of your new shirt! I can see fans wanting John Bostock on their shirts; it would have been trouble.
  23. I know it’s a serious issue, but things like this always make me think a group of clowns is going to jump out with a comedian like Benny Hill taking chase dressed as a police officer. If the Nottingham Post wrote about this, without seeing the picture, you wouldn’t believe it. Thankfully, nobody was hurt, but there’s some damage to the ground and pitch.
  24. Unisex toilets are weird; I hate those temporary ones. I prefer to find gender-based toilets if I can help it, but I have never heard of anyone sitting outside them with a collection. I wonder if the old lady was helping in an official capacity? France is a weird nation; after all, they eat frog legs. It’s a beautiful country but still very weird. I wouldn’t pay 40p for a public toilet; they are public after all and come out of our taxes.
  25. .It will be some time before we see a loanee with the talent he had at such a young age. The same goes for Jack Grealish. It’s amazing that we had them both. I’m pleased with how Callum’s career has progressed; he’s matured into a fantastic player.
