This Excellent Channel is also where I got the Majority of my information from for this thread. Along with other sources. It is a Gruesome Tale, but I found it interesting , so I thought I'd share it on PON, I Didn't Know it had already been covered by @Chris .

Good points @Ash . Regarding a Younger Striker wanting to Learn, I Don't know why one of the Notts Academy players aren't given a chance, after all you would think the Academy Coach would have an idea about one or more of his players who were worth a run in the First team, but it appears that bringing on Young Academy Talent is something Alien to the Notts D.O.F and the Head Coach.

Interesting Superstition @Robbie. To slightly elaborate on the number 13 in a Poll 14% of People refuse to stay on the 13th Floor of an Hotel and 9% demanded a New Room if they were booked into Room 13. While talking of my writing of this thread to a friend he reminded me of a story, from our school Days. That being one girl pupil in a cookery class Refused Point Blank to make Chelsea Buns, convinced it would bring Bad Luck to her team Tottenham.

I heard both Kasper and Sven turned down their Large Payment Package otherwise Notts would have Gone Under. The Club were Conned by a First Class Conn Artist Russell King who had also Conned Banks Royalty and North Korea's Supreme Leader. He also secured a Trillion Dollars worth of a Country's Mineral Rights.

I've been looking further into this appointment, and Stuart certainly picked himself one Hell of a Challenge. Apparently according to York City Fans their Owner, buys players without conferring with his Head Coach, which seems the Previous Coach Didn't like and one of the Reasons he left, or was sacked sounds like a situation not unlike what's going on over the other side of the Trent. Good Luck Stuart, seems like you're gonna need it.

@Charlie_ncfc . Yes is the answer to your Question, in fact it may be two strikers, despite A.J Playing Saturday he may still move on the last Day of this Transfer Window (though it seems unlikely, there's still a possibility). Options 2 & 3 would be decent additions. Stockley's 57.3% aerial dual victories shows he's a Menace in the Opponents Box and he could easily knock Down balls to both Dennis and Jatta. As for Pearce you Can't Ignore a Player who has scored 104 Goals in 151 matches. But knowing Notts they probably will. But in the End it all boils down to Money and if the Brothers are prepared to put their hands in their pockets.

@thommo . Thanks for the Complementary Feedback. Glad You Enjoyed The Topic.

@DangerousSausage , Kasper Schmeichel now there's a Proper Keeper, miles better than the current Notts number 1. A guy who could command his area, who'd race off his Goal line to narrow the angle against an attacking Forward, a leader who would , Shout and Encourage his Defenders.

Watched the high lights on You Tube, How the Hell Roos Didn't Give away a Penalty and get a Red Card for his challenge on the Tranmere Keeper late on, was major surprise.

As Didzy said, Football is a Simple Game, which needs To Be Seen With The Naked Eye. So if a member of the Recruitment team had gone and watched Roos in Action, Instead of Relying on Data then all his Faults, would have been there to see but then Again He was a Free Agent so would have cost the Club Nothing and that's what the Brothers are looking For Cheapness or No Cost at all.

Sweet F.A No it's not an Endearment to the Football Association, but was the title of the 1970's British Pop Band the Sweet Music Album. Originally it was a saying which has become well used for over 150 years in Britain and the full saying was Sweet Fanny Adams and came to represent the Slang phrase I Don't Know Anything, or Nothing regarding questions asked on certain subjects. I Know Sweet Fanny Adams About It. It was also used as a Term used by Sailors of the Royal Navy. Sweet Fanny Adams was a Real Person. Fanny was a middle child of George and Harriet Adams, they lived in the village of Alton in Hampshire. Fanny was described as a Happy Child who enjoyed chatting to people and was always smiling. Alton where she and her family lived was famous for it's Beer Brewing, and in the 1860's was surrounded by Hop Fields. With the Community being small people knew everybody else. On the 24th of August 1867 Fanny her best friend Minnie Warner and her 5 year old sister Lizzie were walking towards Flooded Field to go and play, on the road the girls were met by one Frederick Baker a newcomer who had lived in Alton for a few months. He spoke to the girls who all knew him, after awhile he asked Fanny to accompany him to the next village of Shalden. Fanny refused stating her wish to stay with her sister and friend. Baker then offered her a half penny to buy sweets if she would go with him, again Fanny refused. Baker then turned his attention to the other girls and got the same No reply. So Baker using the advantage of his height and strength, simply picked up Fanny and carried her away. Minnie and Lizzie ran back to Minnie's house and told her Mother Martha what had happened, as there had never been any crime in Alton during her life time Martha Warner thought her daughter was simply joking or telling stories. Seeing Martha's disinterest, the girls went outside playing. Thinking that Fanny would be safe with Frederick Baker after all. Later as Lizzie made her way home, she was stopped by a Mrs Gardener, who asked where her sister was. Lizzie told her what had happened, Mrs Gardener took Lizzie home as quickly as possible where she repeated her story to her Mother. Harriet and Mrs Gardener along with other people searched for Fanny, but found no sign. It wasn't until a few days later that War Veteran Thomas Gates came upon the Severed Head of Fanny on the Top of Two Hop Poles. It took the Police several more days to find the rest of Fanny's dismembered body. In the meaning time Baker had been arrested due to eyewitness reports. He stated he hadn't killed Fanny saying he had left her at the Village gate. However after searching Bakers Desk in the Solicitor's office where Baker worked as a Clerk they found his Diary on the page dated August 24th was the line Killed a girl. Baker was tried at Winchester Court and was found Guilty by the Jury and was Hung on Christmas Eve, 1867 watched by a crowd of over 5,000 people. But how did the term Sweet Fanny Adams come about? It morphed into the saying as we know it by Sailors comparing their tinned meat ration of cold mutton, to the remains of Fanny Adams. Of course Fanny Adams as turned into F.A. two entirely Different words nowadays.

@McPie I don't think your view is controversial (or was that a touch of sarcasm?). I can understand the criticism of Kelle Roos (the Count) In my opinion I think he's a very poor Goalkeeper and doesn't instill Confidence in the Defenders in front of him. He seems to just stay on his line and his movement is slow, he should come out and catch crosses and only punch the ball when he's under pressure. If a Keeper is confident in his own ability, it very rare he'll spill the ball, and if that happens defenders should be there to clear the ball away from any Danger. Hopefully the Club will sign another keeper on Monday, but Don't Hold Your Breath.

I went to the local B&Q Store the other day and there was a big sign which said Stainless Steel Sinks. I Thought Yes I Know It Does. Anyway I got the few Items that I wanted, when I remembered about the Rat the wife had seen next to our Dustbin. So I went up to a Young lady Assistant and asked Do You sell Rat Poison? Yes Sir we do, it's over there next to the Sweets. So I walked over an picked up a box of Rat Poison, then went back to the Young Lady Assistant. I said I'm sorry but I haven't got my glasses, could you read the instructions for Me? She smiled and said, You have to place the poison around the Rat's Hole. I replied If I Could Get That Close To It I'd Hit It With A Brick.

Just watched the entertaining video's from todays match (vs Tranmere) on Notts County Talk. Tom gave a run down on todays match plus his Player Ratings. However in the comments under Tom's video , Notts Fans gave there opinions on their all time Favourite Notts Player. Of course there were many different players from many different Era's. However one Fan stated Les Brad underneath it said Translate into English United Kingdom. So I pressed the button and it came up THE BRADDS. That Really Tickled Me. For those Fans that Don't Get It. LES Is French For The, hence the Translation. I must also mention George the other Co-Host on Notts County Talk. You also did a Good Job Mate, on Your Match Reaction Video.

@Robbie and all PON Members interested in this sort of thing, there's a You Tube Channel called Royalty Now Studios. The Artist Becca is a very talented Artist who tells each subject's life story and uses AI to turn their Painted Portraits into what they would look like in Real Life and What the person would look like if they were alive today. It's just not Royal Portraits, but other Historical Figures and is Certainly Worth A Watch.

Well this was a turn up for the books. Three points against a very tough Tranmere side, nice to see the Magpies battle back after going 1-0 down. But once again Notts had a very poor first half, according to the BBC Sports Website, In that half Notts had No Shots either on or off Target or any touches in the Rovers area, despite having 63% possession, add to that 45 back passes. But things certainly got better in the Second half by getting back on level terms through Dennis, with a New Nickname ITMA (It's That Man Again). the Guy is on Fire at the moment and long may it continue. The inclusion and Introduction of Jatta in the Second Half proves what an asset to the team he is, and provided Notts can keep hold of him, after the Transfer Window closes all the better for the Magpies and He and Dennis could form quite Strike force for Notts. It would seem that Martin Paterson is trying to keep a settled starting XI, but there maybe the occasional Tweak, if the Magpies can get on a good run. Charlie Whittaker had a decent game and his assist proved he was looking to prove to his former employers, were wrong for letting him go. But Today was all about Notts, and hopefully this Result will give the Magpies something to Build On. C.O.Y.P.

More Importantly Do Notts have the Money to attract a Player of Ollie Palmer's Experience? I still think that May be the Problem. Money Spent on the Club's Infrastructure has left the Playing Budget Woefully Short, What other excuse could there be? The idea of he doesn't fit into Notts System or he's over a certain age is a poor excuse, a player of Palmer's Capabilities and Goal Scoring Abilities would have been a God Send for Notts and I'm sure he would have been able to Adapt the Notts Model and Score Goals.

Although there's Not been any thing Official, it would seem Jatta as played his last game in a Notts Shirt. And further signings seem unlikely as the Transfer Window is Rapidly drawing to it's end. This time last season there was an air of Confidence around the Lane, this term it's simply Meh with the Major worry (due to the lack of inspired signings) of a Relegation Battle. As the saying goes the Sound of Silence is Deafening, come out from the Lane. With No Communication forthcoming You have to wonder just what The Hell Is Happening at the Club? The Current Atmosphere is Not unlike times past, when there is a Major Announcement on the Horizon and if that Is The Case the only thing I can think about Are the Brothers thinking of Selling the Club? The money they've Spent on the Notts Infrastructure, would be Tempting to any would be New Purchaser or are they hoping to Entice a New Major Investor ? The Longer the Silence the More Worrying things will Become.

Superstitions have become the part of every day life, some people and cultures believe in them while others think they're a load of Nonsense. So if you refuse to wear a certain colour or are a Triskaidekaphobic , lets look at some strange and in some cases Gruesome Superstitions. Most Superstitions come from the Medieval Era., for example the Colour Green is associated with Witches and poison and even today in Motorcycle Racing some riders refuse to wear the Colour Green because it's considered bad luck. The Irish on the other hand consider Green to be the Colour of Growth and Prosperity. Having Green hoops as part of their shirt colouring certainly, doesn't seem to have done Celtic any harm. A Triskaidekaphobic on the other hand is a Person with the Fear of the Number 13. Why ? The reasons behind this Superstition is the fact at the Last Supper, there were 13 people present and Judas was the 13th Person to take his place at the table. Another story from Norse mythology states that 12 of the Gods were having a Feast in Valhalla, when Loki the God of Mischief (who hadn't been Invited) gatecrashed the Feast, thus becoming the 13th God present. Loki convinced the Blind God Hod to shoot an arrow tipped with Mistletoe at his Brother Balder. Balder the God of Happiness and Light was killed as Mistletoe was the only thing that could kill him (that's another Story). Balder's Death began Ragnarok the end of the World, and the Death of the Gods. Although it is believed if you have a Tattoo of the number 13 it can be an antidote to Bad Luck. Friday is also considered an Unlucky Day, as Jesus was Crucified on Good Friday. So when Friday 13th comes around it is considered Bad Luck in many countries. An Antidote to the Bad luck of this day and date, is to turn round clockwise three times then Spit over your left shoulder. In some Medieval Cultures if a Woman was having trouble getting Pregnant, it was believed that if she rubbed the Sperm from a Hanged Man into her Belly, before she and her Husband made love, this would help her Conceive. To finish on a Lighter Note, in Columbia it's believed if you sit in a Chair and can feel the body warmth of the Person who sat there before you, you'll end up with a Boil On Your Bum.

@piedestrian . That is the same question I asked when the Doctor was appointed, How was the Doctor going to stop players getting injured? It was the wording of the Club's statement that gave the impression that's what the Doctor had been hired for and I have made my comment in the same vein, to show how poorly worded the statement was. Why hire a Doctor to sit on your Technical Board when surely the Notts medical Team should be capable of doing the same job? How much is the Good Doctor costing the Club? Because it he ain't going to be doing it for nothing. It seems that if the club get some extra Cash, instead of keeping it to help run the Club, they seem quite content to Spend it on some Frivolous Idea.

A man and his Wife were passing their little Lad's bedroom, when they heard him saying his Prayers. So they Listened In. The Little Lad said God Bless Mummy, God Bless Daddy, God Bless Grandma, Goodbye Grandad. Then the Following day Poor Old Grandad, has a Heart Attack and dies. That night the Husband and wife listen to their Son's Prayers. God Bless Mummy, God Bless Daddy, Goodbye Grandma. And the Next day Poor Old Grandma is run over by a Car and Dies. Now the Parents are getting worried, but still listen to their Son. God Bless Mummy, Goodbye Daddy. Of course the Husband is worried sick, but he's determined to carry on as normal, so he goes to work the following Day. He arrives home that night, a Nervous Wreck but still in one Piece. How was your Day Dear? askes his wife Terrible says he Husband. But at least I'm Still Alive. How was your Day Darling? Awful, Really Awful, I opened the front door this morning and Found The Postman Dead on the Door Matt.

It would be Great if Notts managed to have a Half Decent Cup Run @Robbie . The Trouble is the Magpies never seem to get the Rub of the Green in Cup Competitions, regarding Top Opposition, I think it was when Notts were drawn away at Liverpool and at Home to Manchester City in the League and FA Cup Rounds were the last Premier League Teams the Magpies played.

If the Injury list continues to Grow, then what is the Esteemed Doctor doing ? He was bought in and Paid to help Players avoid Injuries. More waste of Money.

The thing is @Robbie this could end up in a Catch 22 situation. IF Notts are on a Good run and are pushing for a Playoff place, Promotion to League 1 will take priority, on the other hand if Notts are at the other End of League 2 Table then Survival will on the Coach and Players minds when the F.A Cup comes around. So I guess Notts in midtable will be the Best Position and a Home Draw against the Likes of Forest, Derby or Leicester would Bring The Fans To The Lane.

@menzinho , it would seem something as gone off behind Closed Doors a Big Falling Out For One Reason Or Another. Stuart Maynard as stepped into another Tough Assignment ( like he did at the Lane) following a Popular Head Coach, he'll have to hit the Ground Running or the York City Fans will soon get on his back, the Owners will also want Promotion, if things don't start well will he be Given Time to Establish his doctrine within the Club? I'm surprised he didn't take the Saunders Brothers with him and chose Alves instead. Who in the Matches I saw him was little or No Help to Maynard, he simply stood in the Technical Area with his arms folded over his Chest. Familiarity I Suppose. Does This Throw Some Light On The Saunders Brother's Departure From The Lane ( which has never been fully explained by Notts). Did Maynard And The Saunders Have A Falling Out? Because After Their Departure, Maynard Tried To Steady The Ship At Notts, But Eventually It Became (in my opinion) To Much For Him And The Magpies Failed To Achieve Promotion, Which Cost Him His Job.
