  1. I found some old footage of this match, that hadn't been added to the crowd footage. It's just 30 seconds be you can observe a snipet of the match & a throw in. Notice the crowd being so close to the touch line. Some more longer footage of the match.
  2. John George Peart (3 October 1888 – 3 September 1948) was an English footballer who played centre forward for 13 different teams, in a career which spanned World War I. After he retired he became a football manager until his death in 1948. Peart was a centre forward who had a nomadic career. He played for eight league clubs in a career which spanned 19 years and every division of the English Football League. He also played non-League football in the Southern and Welsh leagues, as well as guesting for other clubs during the First World War. Peart was known as the 'most injured man in football', his worst injury being a broken leg in 1910 at Stoke which kept him out of football for two seasons.As a manager, he spent a further 25 years in the Football League, and took charge at Rochdale, Bradford City, and Fulham. He won two minor league titles with Stoke, won the Second Division with Notts County in 1913–14, and led Rochdale to second place in the Third Division North in 1923–24 and 1926–27. Playing Career Peart left Adelaide South Shields to sign with First Division side Sheffield United in 1907. He scored 50 goals for the reserve team in the 1907–08 season.He hit eight goals in 27 league appearances, and helped the "Blades" finish 17th in 1907–08 and 12th in 1908–09. He then left Bramall Lane for Stoke in the Birmingham & District League in 1910. He spent two years at the Victoria Ground and made an impressive contribution, scoring 34 goals in 23 matches in 1910–11, his run being ended by a broken leg against Crewe Alexandra on 10 December 1910. He claimed hat-tricks against Dudley Town, Wolves Reserves, Treharris Athletic, and Kettering Town, and finished as the club's joint top-scorer (with Alf Smith) despite only playing in the first half of the season. His goals helped the "Potters" to secure the Birmingham & District League title and second place in the Southern League Division Two. After his recovery Peart scored seven goals in 24 games in 1911–12, before the directors decided to cash in on their most profitable player. He left the Potteries in March 1912 to return to top-flight football with Newcastle United, signing for a fee of £600. Peart made 17 competitive appearances for the "Magpies", all in the Football League, comprising nine in 1911–12 and eight in 1912–13, and scored three goals in each of those seasons. His first appearance for the club came at St James' Park on 16 March 1912 against Middlesbrough, and he scored his first goal the following week against Notts County. He was sold to Notts County in February 1913, and finished as the club's top-scorer in 1912–13 with just seven goals, as County were relegated into the Second Division. He hit 28 league goals in 1913–14 to fire the club to promotion as divisional champions – he was also the division's joint top-scorer, with Sammy Stevens. He scored 11 goals in 1914–15, to again finish as the club's top-scorer. In his six years at Meadow Lane he scored 51 goals in 82 league appearances. In total he scored 52 goals in 84 appearances for Notts. During World War I he served as a corporal in the Army and also guested for Rochdale, Leeds United, Stoke and Barnsley. He scored 71 goals in 107 appearances at Elland Road. After a time with Leeds City, he played three Second Division games for Birmingham in the 1919–20 season, before moving on to Derby County in January 1920. He scored one goals in nine league games, before departing the Baseball Ground. In 1920 he joined Ebbw Vale Steel & Iron Company as player-manager, though he resigned his post in January 1922, returning to the English Second Division with Port Vale.Injury limited his contribution to the Vale's 1921–22 campaign to just seven appearances and he was released from his contract at The Old Recreation Ground in the summer. At 34 years old, Peart joined Norwich City in the Third Division South for the 1922–23 season. He was appointed player-manager of Rochdale in March 1923, retiring as a player in the 1923–24 season with a Rochdale tally of 10 goals in 22 senior games. In his career Peart scored a total of 126 goals from 241 appearances. Style of Play Peart was only 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m), but was physically imposing and was known as "the nightmare of goalkeepers". However, he was also skilful, adept at flicking the ball on to his teammates despite his tendency to lose the ball by attempting to beat the entire defence by himself. Despite his physique he was prone to injury. Managerial Career Rochdale Peart spent a short period as player-manager at Ebbw Vale, before managing Rochdale from 1923 to 1930. He took the "Dale" to a second-place finish in the Third Division North in 1923–24; they were one point behind champions Wolverhampton Wanderers, but only Wolves were promoted. Rochdale then finished sixth in 1924–25, before finishing third in 1925–26, just two points behind champions Grimsby Town. They again narrowly missed out on promotion in 1926–27, after ending the campaign in second place, five points behind champions Stoke. The Spotland club then dropped to 13th in 1927–28, 17th in 1928–29 and tenth in 1929–30. Bradford City He left Rochdale to become manager of Bradford City, taking over from the club's most successful manager, Peter O'Rourke, in July 1930. During his five years at Valley Parade he maintained the club's position in the Second Division but he had offered to resign at the end of 1933–34 before agreeing to see out the final two years of his contract. They tallied 44 points in 1930–31, 45 points in 1931–32, 41 points in 1932–33, and 46 points in 1933–34. With the club struggling above the relegation zone in 1934–35, he left the "Bantams" in March 1935, and was replaced by Dick Ray. Fulham In 1935, he joined Fulham as manager, replacing Jimmy Hogan. He took the club to the semi-finals of the FA Cup in 1935–36, where a 2–1 defeat to Sheffield United at Molineux cost them a place in the 1936 FA Cup final. He then led the "Cottagers" to mid-table finishes in the Second Division in the 1936–37, 1937–38, and 1938–39 campaigns. He remained in charge at Craven Cottage throughout World War II, and led the club to two further mid-table finishes in 1946–47 and 1947–48. He was still manager at the time of his death in September 1948, a month before his 60th birthday. The team he built went on to win the Second Division championship in the same season under the stewardship of director Frank Osborne. Personal life Peart was married to Margaret Joan Fraser; their son was the doctor and clinical researcher Sir Stanley Peart. (Source Wiki)
  3. UK Weather for Tuesday afternoon.
  4. @liampie It must have been such an exciting time for the fans when Meadow Lane was opened for the first time with 28,000 in the ground to see the local derby. It was such a massive day for the club when they finally had a home that they could call their own.
  5. Tom and Jerry.
  6. Watch this incredible free dance routine that earned a bronze medal in the Ice Dance for Brits, Slatter and Ongay-Perez, the first figure skating medal at the Winter youth Olympic Games
  7. Ashlie Slatter and Atl Ongay-Perez have won bronze in the ice dance competition!!
  8. I agree broadly what you are saying @KB1862 it appears that the top six have now been joined by Newcastle being the party pooper and they don't like it, but that still leaves the Premier League as 3 leagues in one, the top seven, the middle 6, and the bottom 7 that is always struggling to survive. I think a model similar to the MLS that you mentioned could be the way to go, this could equal the playing field somewhat. And, stop the parachute payments and have a similar budget cap in the Championship too, to foster equal competition in that league. But of course we know it won't happen because of the power of the clique of clubs at the very top of the game.
  9. 18 matches left, 9 at home, 9 away, 31 points needed to get to 75 which should be enough with 10 wins and a draw. We could afford up to 7 defeats too, although more draws would help secure a playoff for certain.
  10. So Blackburn beat Wrexham tonight 4:1 after being one down after a few minutes. So now we have 5 replays to decide who will compete in the 5th round. Tues 6th Feb Southampton v Watford Coventry v Sheff Weds Plymouth v Leeds Weds 7th Feb Forest v Bristol C A Villa v Chelsea.
  11. @NCRichie I think we can afford to lose 5 or six games and still make the playoffs. In these last 18 games we have 9 at home and 9 away. 10 wins and a few draws would be enough to squeeze into the playoffs, then anything can happen.
  12. @themightymagpies The referees are supposed to know the rules but many referees still interpret the rules differently and it is the same when it comes to VAR. No wonder that the fans get confused and frustrated with refereeing decisions.
  13. @JustLikeJuve We have 9 home matches and 9 away matches left. 75 points may be enough to secure the last playoff place, that's 10 wins and one draw or 9 wins and 4 draws. Anything more a bonus.so we can afford another 5 to 7 defeats which is doable on paper. Shoring up the defense is the key I think.
  14. It was a good watch, interesting and nicely put together from a neutral perspective. Well done.????
  15. Forecast for Tuesday morning.
  16. @KB1862 Your right with the fielding of weaker teams and cheating fans of lesser clubs from seeing them in action, also the price to watch remains the same or even increased, so fans suffer both ways. When it comes down to it, every football match is a test of strength, guile, determination, staying power, and skill. If Clubs field weakened teams then it's not a true test of those values.
  17. When is a Yellow Card or Red card shown to a player? Yellow card. Unsporting Behavior: Yellow cards are typically given when players engage in unsporting behavior, such as diving to simulate a foul, time-wasting (e.g., excessively delaying a free-kick), or showing disrespect to the referee through dissent. Red Card. Serious Foul Play: A red card is issued for actions that constitute serious foul play. This includes tackles that are reckless, involve excessive force, or endanger the safety of an opponent. 2. Violent Conduct: Any instance of violence, such as striking an opponent, kicking, or elbowing, merits a red card. (Source Google) Serious foul play was clearly what the Barrow player did. If he had just pulled Jodie back that would have been unsporting behaviour and still warrant a yellow card, but it wouldn't have been serious foul play.
  18. @KB1862 I get your point about replays. The reason I proposed no replays was due to my proposal for Premier League clubs to enter in the first round. That would give lower clubs an opportunity to make more revenue. Having a replay always benefits the bigger clubs too. If we can make the Cups more exciting by making a tie sudden death it makes for more chance of a shock if it comes to a penalty shootout for example. Also, there is always the option for the non league club or lower league club to change venue, if they are drawn at home, to the bigger club's ground, to increase their revenue if they choose. As for Clubs fielding weaker teams, I believe that it is not in the spirit of the competition, it devalues the competition, and is frankly disrespectful to the lower league side.
  19. Really good article by the @TheSkipper I am excited about the future for Notts under Stuart Maynard, from the moment he was appointed from his first interview, to his first match, we have all witnessed the reason why the Reedtz brothers appointed this Head Coach. There is a real buzz around the club since the date of his appointment and his first match against Barrow demonstrated why that buzz is warranted. The match may not have been spectacular, due to Barrow's negative tactics, and Notts didn't make a good start, but in the second half we saw some of Stuart's tweaks to the fore with an improved defensive performance. We can see that Stuart is going to work to ensure that Notts are a really good all round side instead of a brilliant side going forward but poor in defending & that is giving me confidence for the remaining games. I'm looking forward to playing Mansfield after more work has been done to in tweaking our shape and way of playing.
  20. @KB1862 & @Chris Just look who's in the Final of the League Cup this year Chelsea and Liverpool, two of the top six and it will probably be two of the top six in the FA Cup final again and four of the top six will be in the Champions league again this year. Football at the top in this Country is just getting boring. I don't watch match of the day unless it's the FA Cup, not involving Premier league sides. A solution might be that 1. All clubs have to field their strongest side available at every Cup match. 2. Abolish replays and have penalty shootouts if the scores are level after 90 minutes. 3. Have all league sides including Premier league sides enter the FA Cup at the first round stage, this would increase revenue for non league and lower leagues Clubs. 4. If Clubs field weakened sides for no good reason, they forfit the match and get fined. If the top six sides complain, then tough. If they prioritise European Competition, then they should withdraw from the Cup Competitions. If they do withdraw from the Cups, the FA should fine them for lost revenue.
  21. The next five games for Notts, home and away are going to be very tough & season defining in my opinion. Mansfield: away Gillingham: home Newport: away Wrexham: away Crewe: home I would be very happy if we could take 10 points from these games. 3 wins and a draw with one loss. Am I being too optimistic or could we do it with Stuart now at the helm?
  22. @Chris I agree with what you have said. There is a X account called Auschwitz Memorial (@Auschwitzmuseum) that gives faces and names to the victims. The account posts each day with information about victims of the holocaust. Not to their credit, but the fact that the Germans kept maticulous records, it is known who the victims are and where and when they were murdered.
