The American spelling & obscure words certainly makes the game challenging. Apparently there are thousands of words spelt differently. I've noticed quite a lot of differences when doing the spelling bees.

Notts need to show more intensity from the word go against Colchester & put them under pressure. I'd play the starting eleven that took the field against Harrogate, but I would play Palmer instead of Iorpenda & put Iorpenda on the bench. We know that Martin Paterson can change things around if things aren't working in the first half. Hopefully that won't happen this time. I'm hoping for a convincing win on Saturday. A 3:1 win for Notts would be a great result & should keep Notts in the top four.

Good morning all. It's zero degrees here& it's forecast not to get above 3 degrees all day. Snow has been forecast for Yorkshire so there may be a possibility that we might get a dusting here. In warmer climes. The Ashes series starts tomorrow in Perth Australia at 02:20 GMT. The first of five Tests. I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be a very competitive series. Australia do have injuries with two of their important bowlers missing the first Test. Can England take advantage?

Another player is midfielder Paul Dyer, who started his career at Notts as a youth player, who made 7 senior appearances for Notts between 1972/75 & then 144 appearances for Colchester between 1975/80.

Good one @super_ram that was a hard game. Don't think I would have got the purple.

Notts have been on the end of some horrendous refereeing decisions & they continue to happen., but unfortunately that's a part of football. Even though we have to put up with these questionable decisions I still wouldn't like to see VAR being introduced to League 2 matches. VAR makes mistakes too because at the end of the day, VAR still has to rely on officials making the final decision & we have seen terrible decisions made in spite of VAR . Scotland deserved their victory & I'm pleased that they will be going to the World Cup. Wales have a great chance of qualifying too, & they will play at home in their playoff semi final against either Albania, Bosnia, Kosovo or Republic of Ireland.

It's a very cold day here. I have been monitoring the temperature outside and it has just gone above freezing for the first time today. Looks like it will be a another cold night. We haven't had any snowfall here. The sky has cleared somewhat this afternoon so the temperature will be going back down very soon.. pleased that we managed to get the grass cut the other day.

I totally agree @Fan of Big Tone I was asking the same question when I got to know about this. I think that it is an absolutely crazy situation, & poor decision making by the Club across the Trent.

I'm pleased that Scotland won the match & have qualified for the WC. I didn't see the match but I did see their match against Greece a few days ago when Scotland lost 2:3. That was a very entertaining match too. Scotland last qualified in 1998 so I'm sure there will be lots of celebrations throughout the Scottish nation.

Mark Yeates, a winger, who played for Colchester in two spells, 2005/6 & 2007/9 making a total of 116 appearances & scoring 25 goals, & Notts in 2014 when he made 14 appearances

B Team are through to the next round of the Notts Senior Cup after a 3-2 win against N&S.2 Goals for Iwunze and 1 for Emmanuel. https://x.com/NCFC_Academy/status/1990910098458181676?t=sqLNFlZEG4eFW5v_K04IjQ&s=19

Update. My waste pipe to the kitchen sink has been fixed so we are back in business, as they say, once again. The Plumber had to get some parts from Screwfix to complete the job, but everything seems fine.
