@True Magpie How True your words are. Notts lack a Defined Pathway for young players to gain first team experience and a Head Coach is needed to have belief in his Academy Graduates and Not Be Afraid to Give his Youngsters a Chance. That's why I said playing the young un's along side Experienced Notts Players will Help Them Improve their Footballing Skills. New signing Curtis Edwards seems to be one of the Teams most Experienced players now, put a Young up and coming Academy Player along side him, to watch how he plays his game and learn from the Guy in Proper Match Conditions, then Maybe Just Maybe the Academy Lad will Improve a lot Faster than being continually Loaned Out.

So Near And Yet.... The First Spanish Goal shows what a Talent Yamal and Williams are but what happened to the English Defence? The Amount of space Williams was given why had nobody picked him up? England knew what a Danger he was but he was left in Acres of Room and Bang Spain 1 England 0. Cole Palmer's equalizer was also an Excellent Goal and I thought Saka did well in the Build up. But I think England knew it wasn't going to be their night when that Spanish Defender headed the Ball off the Line. Again questions need to be asked Regarding the English Defence and Spain's Winner. Once Walker was beaten by the Spanish player and the ball came in there was No Attempt by the England defender to move and cut the cross out, and Bang Spain 2 England 1. And More Heartache for England and their Fans. Time To Go Southgate you've had eight years in the Job and you've failed to Win a Trophy in either of the Finals England have Appeared in. You Get Nowt For Coming Second. Have the Decency to Leave Pass the Reigns onto a New Coach. New England Coach? Eddie Howe or Sean Dyche.

The thing is @Robbie would the Referee given a Free Kick if the incident had happened on the Halfway Line? At first he didn't give the Penalty and only consulted VAR afterwards. So he may well have viewed the Foul (on the Halfway Line) as he had first viewed the Penalty and Not Given It. The thing is with Incidents like this happening all the time in Football it's subjected to a matter of different opinions to different people, many will see it as a Penalty while others won't. But when it comes down to it VAR decided it was a Penalty and England scored from the Resulting Spot Kick, then went on to Grab a late Winner, which put them in Todays Final. And No amount of Was it Wasn't It Talk Is going to Change That.

Why do the Media keep going on and on About the Colour of a Players Skin? It's so Bloody Annoying, Both are Young and Highly Talented Footballers and have worked hard to get where they are today, Lets Just Celebrate That Fact.

Personally I didn't think it was a Penalty, I thought the Defender was doing his job trying to stop Kane from scoring. At first the Referee said No and if there had been No such thing as VAR then there would have been No Penalty.. Interestingly Enough a lot of English Fans have stated it was Karma for Dutch Manager Ronald Koeman, who should have been Red Carded in an England vs Holland match back in 1993, but got away with his foul and scored the Match Winner.

@DeadlyMacca Why Bother? It's just like what @Fan of Big Tone says Macca is always going to be Remembered for his time at the Lane and his contribution to the Magpies. So there's No Real Reason To Change.

@Robbie I didn't watch the Channel 4 rerun of the 1966 World Cup Final, but believe it or not I have a copy of the match on DVD which was given away with a Newspaper ( I Don't remember which) quite a few years ago. I also remember watching the Final as a 9 year old with my Dear Old Dad. We sat there glued to the box and every time England went close he'd squeeze my right arm when I complained about it, he would say sorry and rub my arm, then go back to squeezing it when England went close to scoring. When England scored he'd jump up in the Air and shout Goal. The second Geoff Hurst goal he sat there hand on my arm he thought the Ball had crossed the line, then he said the Ref's not going to give it. Then the Russian Linesman said yes it was a goal, we jumped up together hugging and cheering. My Mum who wasn't really into football and didn't follow the Match, would come in from the Kitchen when we were cheering and say They've Scored Then. Regarding that England Team I'm in Full Agreement with You Robbie, The 66 Team would Hammer the current 3 Lions side.

Does the Creator have Copyright to produce these Magpies ? What with them wearing Notts shirts with their sponsors name on them, it could Infringe Copyright. The Club have just lately come down on people using the Notts Brand. Is that just the Magpie Badge or does it Include the Shirt and Sponsor Logo's?

The Rams dodged a Bullet there then. And Surprise Surprise Another Crooked Yank trying to muscle in on an English Football Club.

@Robbie Lets Hope It's The Same With Notts This Coming Season Eh?

Nope Don't Remember This, What Year Did It Come Out?

@Robbie Other things that I Think are a Load of Tripe in Modern Football? That could be a Long List, but all I'd Get Is Well Everything's Got To Move On you can't stay in the Past Forever. So I Ain't Going To Waste My Breath. Just to say things were much better back in the Day when there were Managers, instead of Head Coaches and the English Game was the English Game and Not Full Of Foreign Coaches, Players and Owners mainly Americans, ( Chris & Alex seem to be the exception). And the Adoption of the Continental Style of Playing Football.

@Robbie I Guess it just isn't the In Thing Nowadays. What a Load Of Tripe.

With the Departure of Tiernan Brookes , Lucien Mahovo , and Luther Munakandafa being given the opportunity to seek pastures New I would ask is there really any point in Notts having an Academy? If I remember correctly the last player to come through the Ranks at Notts was Curtis Thompson, who played for the Club 83 times over a period from 2011-2018. Since that time despite several youngster showing Promise each just repeatedly get loaned out over and over again, and once their contract is finished, they are let go to carry on the Careers at other Clubs. Main Case in Point. Tiernan Brookes was with the Club 7 years and in that time was loaned out 7 times. He was described by Lincoln United Chairman Rob Bradley as the Best Young Keeper he'd ever seen. He also covered for Sam Slocombe when Sam was injured and in each of his matches (4) it was declared he was going from Strength to Strength. If (like he should have done) been given a chance in the Notts Goal instead of the Club signing Aiden Stone, Tiernan could well have been the Notts first choice keeper this season. The Magpies have Now given Ryley Reynolds a 2 year contract, his first Professional Contract I believe. So what's going to happen to him? My Guess he'll play some Pre-Season Games, he may get 1 or 2 Cup appearances then sent out on loan. To "Learn" how to Play the Men's Game. Then once his contract is finished he'll be allowed to Move On Elsewhere. So Much for Richard Montague's we want to Encourage Players from the Academy to go on and Play For The First Team. Yeah Right. How can they get a chance to play for the first team if they never get anywhere near the Pitch? Their Best Hope maybe a place on the Bench. Look at last season the opportunity of a youngster playing along side Jim O'Brien, the wealth of Experience JOB has could have helped the Kid progress at an incredible rate and they may have been able to, step into Jim's shoes once he'd left the Lane. That's how Academy players improve, not repeatedly sent to different clubs at a lower level. Plus how does this Reflect on the Head of the Academy? He's got all this young Talent and he's convinced they can Do A Job for the Magpies, only to see Players Depart to Pastures New once their contract is up. Truly the Mind Boggles.

Like a lot of things the in the Boring World of "Modern" Football, the 1 to 11 shirt numbers have been Sacrificed in favour of Squad numbers. You should see our number 26 just Doesn't have the Same Ring To It Like, You Should See Our New Number 9. Is this Something Else that's been Adopted from the "Continent?"

@liampie I have never been to Ireland ( so I can't pass comment on it's people) however Irish people I've known (we had an Irish family living next to us when I was young) always seemed warm and caring. Scots I've always found polite and helpful in my visits to that wonderful scenic country and the Welsh are very much the same. It as been several years since I've been to either Scotland or Wales so things may have changed, I Hope Not.

@RetroPie There's no need to buy a New Wheelbarrow, if you just need a New Wheel. Undo the fixing bolts and remove the washer tubes. Getting the right size wheel measure the wheel diameter, that's from one edge of the wheel tyre to the other. Measure the hub length the spindle which goes through the wheel. And measure the Hub Bore Diameter. The hole in the middle of the wheel. A Wheelbarrow wheel expert (found at Garden Centres) some shops which sell Wheelbarrows may have an expert who will help you choose the correct type of bearing for your wheel. Best Tyre Patten to use is the Ribbed Pattern as this causes minimal build up of mud Ideal for your garden or allotment. Hope this Helps.

£750,000. You're having a Laugh. Who ever Negotiated that Deal want's FIRING. That's all it took to Sell a Goal Machine like Macca? It was rumoured last season he was worth at least £1.5 million. So much for It will take a exceptional offer to coax Macca away from the Lane, So Much for We don't need to Sell Players Eh? Richard Montague. Why is everything Hush Hush? Why Not tell the Fans the Details of Macca's Transfer? It will come out eventually anyway, so why Not Tell Us Now? So we Fans can understand why he's been Sold at a Lowly Price. Honestly we Fans are treated as if we're Stupid. Am I Pi**ed Off You Betcha Regarding Macca himself a Footballer's Career is a Short one and can easily be stopped by an injury. Going on to Better things I Don't think it could have happened to a Nicer Guy. Macca I Sincerely Hope you go on to Break even more Records and hopefully you find yourself playing in the Premier League One Day. You were a Star At The Lane, You'll Always Have A Place in Every Notts Fans Heart. You Sir Are A Legend, and May all Good Things Come Your Way. MACCA LONGSTAFF - HE'S ONE OF OUR OWN.

STEP FORWARD CEDWYN SCOTT- YOUR TIME IS NOW.

My Last Topic about Three Leopards went quite well. So I thought I'd do a Follow Up. Not really about Three Leopards ( who will get a mention) but more about the different Badges worn by English teams in other Sports as well as Football. After the Three Lions the most used England Badge is that of the Cross of Saint George ( who Nike thought it would be clever to mess about with) This Emblem a Red Cross on a White background also has a interesting and Long History. The Flag of Saint George of course came to the fore front when the Emblem was chosen by the English Crusader Knights when fighting in the Holy Land during the Third Crusade. It is reported (but never proven) That Richard 1 the Lion Heart adopted the Flag and Saint when he fought in the Third Crusade which began in 1190. Interestingly during the 1966 World Cup the Union Jack was used instead of the Cross of Saint George. And during the Final all the English Fans only waved the Union Jack. A Lot Different to the English Fans Of Today. Carl Fogarty the English World Superbike Champion claimed that it was he who reintroduced the use of St George's Flag during his Victories During the World Superbike Series. Another Motor Bike Sport Speedway, the English team has used several Types of English Flags on their Race Jackets. The Cross of St George the Three Lions (in the Leopards/Lions pose) but they were Red Lions on a White Background. And a Single Red Lion (Rampant) on it's hind Legs Facing Forward also on a White Background. The Third English Emblem used by an English Sports Team is of Course the Red Rose of England has used by the England Rugby Union Team. The Rose also appears on the Quartered Shield of the British & Irish Lions International Rugby Team. Along with the Scottish Thistle, The Irish Shamrock and The Prince of Wales Three Feathers. The Shield as a Golden Lion in the walking pose (the same pose as the 3 Lions on the England Football Badge). Finally the England Cricket Team, like it's Football counterparts also Supports a Badge of Three Lions. The only difference to the Football Badge is a Crown is placed above the Lions and there are No Tudor Roses on the Cricket Badge.

Another American word is Zit Which means Spot. So when playing Soccer (as they call it) A Foul in the Penalty area will result in the Ball being placed on the Penalty Zit. Then of course you can't beat a Big bowl of Custard covered a Large Piece of Zitted Dick. An Englishman who went to live in the States got himself a Personalized Car License Plate. Which had the word BOLOX on it. When asked by an American what the word meant, he was told it was English slang for Spot. Well the American arrives in England, goes to Boots the Chemists and says Excuse Me But Do You Have Anything For These BOLOX I Have On The Back Of My Neck?

Poor Decision by the Club if this is True. Tiernan Brooks and Alex Bass pushing Each other for the Number 1 Jersey, would be a Good Thing. Being unchallenged for your Position within the First Team makes a Player become Lazy with a I Don't Care Attitude, knowing the only way he'll be Replaced is if he's injured. No Disrespect To Sam Slocombe but at 36 his career is starting to wined Down and Alex (I would think) would be looking for someone to keep him on his Toes and Challenge Him for his Place Between the Posts.

I think who ever wrote the Piece about the Save Got a Wee Bit Over Excited. And I think there are other Saves available to watch on You tube which are as Good. Like it's been Stated it was the headed Save and the Excitement of that the Save which got Turkey through to the next round which perhaps brought out the Banks comparison. But Really there is No Comparison. Despite an Excellent Stop, it's No where near as Good As The Banks One.

@Robbie 50 Million? Why would the Owners let the Stadium get into that sort of Disrepair? The Comfort and Safety Of The Fans Must Come First, because they are the Be All and End All of Everything. Because without the Fans there would Be No Football Club. The F.A. need to Investigate this and where ever the Damage is that Area should be Closed To Fans until Repairs are Fully Carried Out. What the Hell would happen if a Fan(s) seated in that part of the Ground were injured in anyway due to the Damage?

Lets Hope NOTTS on the Tele Jinx Doesn't Strike!!
