  1. @liampie Killer Kilcline was a strong tall defender, great with the head, his nickname was entirely appropriate, he took no prisoners, but he was good too on the ball, he made a few mistakes but most defenders do don't they I'd like him in the side right now He'd make a big difference, & he'd thrive on our style too.
  2. We actually didn't play too bad that season. We played some good football, had some notable wins too. We still had a chance to avoid relegation until the last 3 games of the season. It was very close. I felt Neil should have been kept on to try to get us back up to the Premier League the next season. Selling Tommy Johnson to Derby before the end of the season to Derby was a massive mistake in my opinion. Keeping him till the end could have made the difference between staying up or not. Earlier we had sold Paul Rideout too .
  3. Notts County 3 v West Ham 0. December 1991: League Div 1. Featuring Phil Turner, Paul Harding, & Tony Agana.
  4. Gary Birtles, European Cup winner for Forest, played for Notts from 1987/88 made 33 appearances and scored 9 goals. Played for Grimsby 1989/91 made 69 appearances and scored 9 goals.
  5. Should go straight into the side against Grimsby on Saturday.
  6. Luca joins Notts till the end of the season. Welcome Luca.
  7. I may be wrong but my bet is on Stuart Maynard.
  8. I would put Robertson straight into the side for Grimsby. Bench Nemane and replace him with Austin & put Robertson holding in Midfield. Thoughts?
  9. I agree @Ohh Tommy Johnson that I don't think they'll be a UK wide league, the Scottish clubs wouldn't agree to it for a start. I also agree that a Premier league in England without the big six would be far more interesting.
  10. Agree @Ohh Tommy Johnson There will be less money around the football pyramid as foreign owners may be less willing to fund Clubs remaining in the domestic leagues ,& TV revenues will go down, but funnily enough, I think it would make for more exciting competition in the Premier League if the big six go. Would the Premier League try to make the competition a UK National Premier league to include clubs from Scotland & Northern Ireland such as Celtic, Rangers & Linfield? As far as televising the matches are concerned, I think probably Sky Sports & Discovery Sports would be attracted to televise the Super League, that would leave BBC & ITV to bid for the Premier League, EFL & Cup Competitions.
  11. @Dripsey3 & @Ohh Tommy Johnson If there were to be a Super League they would probably follow the same model as the NFL in the States with no promotion or relegation. Could be two leagues with an end of season playoff system with one overall winner to make more money. Just going a little of topic, As far as today is concerned I would like to see, all those who qualify for European Competition in England ineligible to play in the FA Cup & League Cup the season afterward. This would be positive development for all the other clubs in the Football pyramid. In addition, I would limit team changes to no more than 4 players to the starting 11 in Cup matches, to stop the big clubs devaluing the competitions.
  12. Ipswich 1 v Notts County 3. League Division 1 30th Jan 1982. A great win for Notts against a very strong Ipswich side.The Notts goals were scored by Gordon Mair, Brian Kilcline, & Paul Hooks.
  13. I very nice piece of commentary @ARLukomski I think it is vital for Clubs like Notts to have a good youth and development policy that can be a good source of revenue for the Club.
  14. Former Sub postmaster says lawyers have been paid £150 million in Post Office Scandal. https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/subpostmaster-post-office-sunak-scandal-b2474505.html
  15. Yes your right @Fozzy We were absolutely coasting it. Franz was man marking Bobby and when he went off it freed him up.West Germany bossed the midfield from then on and the rest is history. The 1970 World Cup was the best I've seen. Brazil was just something else
  16. Totally agree @KB1862 The Saudi Nation have an infinite amount of dollars to throw around. They behave like a child with a new toy. The concern for me is not just the Billions being put into paying players to go over there to Saudi, it's what the Oil rich Countries buying of Premier League clubs and the inexhaustible amounts of money these clubs have available is affecting our domestic game. And what's happening in the Premier League affects clubs throughout the football pyramid, which I believe is changing football for the worse. Killing competition and & thus making the elite clubs even richer.
  17. I first watched Franz play in the 1966 World Cup for West Germany and I remember him in the 1970 World Cup in Mexico too, when West Germany got their revenge over England in the Quarter final. He had an iconic Career as a player, and became famous as a International Manager for Germany too.He won a World Cup as a player and as a Coach. I believe he is up there with the likes of Pele as one of the all time great footballers. RIP Franz. The World of Football will miss you. Franz in action during 1966 World Cup against Switzerland and USSR.
  18. Yes @Ohh Tommy Johnson those mistakes have been very costly. I hope the New Head Coach will sort it.
  19. I agree @Ohh Tommy JohnsonWhy can't our defenders just kick it out of play or hoof it up field if in trouble. Kicking it out of play gives the side extra seconds to get themselves set again instead of thinking they have to play or pass themselves out of trouble in our last third. This has cost us dear. Then there's the silly mistakes too.
  20. Great News, the training boots are on.
