Goalkeeper recommendations 2024/25 season
I would hope that the position of Goalkeeper is very much in the thoughts of the Recruitment team along side the need to sign Experienced Defenders at Notts. Getting Bart back ? Well Notts could ask and see if he was prepared to do a Didzy and come back to the Lane to finish his career regardless of the money on offer. Notts don't need another young Keeper, we have one in Tiernan Brookes, in my opinion it would be a mistake to ferry the Lad out on Loan this season. He should be at the Lane learning his trade from the likes of Bart or another Experienced Keeper ready to take over the Mantel of the Notts number1. I know I'm in Dream land but wouldn't it be Great to have Kasper back between the sticks at the Lane? Not only would he be an excellent role model for young Brookes but he'd be an Excellent Captain and Leader on the Pitch. I Can Dream Can't I?

Does the Notts Squad need more League 2 experience?
What Notts need is a Leader on the Pitch and Kyle Cameron ain't it. This is something I feel strongly about and Yes I know I've been banging on about this for a Long Time, but it's true look at all the top teams and you can point to a certain player(s) who can lift their team mates when things get tough and inspire them and get the Best out of them, and help their team win important matches. Experienced players are a must for Notts to progress this season and should the Magpies get promoted to League 1, I would hope that all Squad members data would be looked at and those players who or should make the Grade in League 1 would be kept on, while the others would be let go. And let us also hope if Notts do go up, that New Contracts aren't given out willy nilly to players who are obviously not EFL Standard.

I have a Step Ladder. My real Ladder Left when I was Three. This little lad was on a school trip visiting some stables, when he saw a woman putting a feeding bag on one of the horses . You'll never do it Missus. Do what? asked the Woman. Get that Big Horse into that Little Bag. My Mate named his daughter after her Grandma. In fact Passive Aggressive Psycho turns five tomorrow.. A friend of mine went to one of those wife swapping parties, he did quite well. He Got a Toaster a Hoover a Microwave and a Set of Six Crystal Cut Drinking Glasses for her.

Transfer Rumours : Farrend Rawson to Notts?
Being realised or contract ending still means the Player won't be at the Club the following Season. You can't project the collective failure on an individual that is True however I think @Robbie is expressing that how the relegation had it's effect on the player's mind set and what effect it would have on his play if he found himself in a Relegation Battle with Notts. Jim O'Brien's mind set was one of Getting Notts Back Into the Football League. Something He Achieved. His Loyalty to the Club was Unquestionable .

Transfer Rumours : Farrend Rawson to Notts?
Stats read pretty good plenty of Experience and as Captained Morecombe and most importantly he'll Cost Now't. Negative points always moves on after his contract ends, seems odd no other team wanted to employ him beyond his signed contract agreement. Morecombe were a League 1 side when he joined so he's been part of a Relegated side in recent seasons so does he have a Wining Mentality?

I was telling my Mates about the time me the wife and kids were on holiday. The Wife had taken the Lads down to the sea for a paddle and I was busy building Sand Castles for when they came back. All of a Sudden there was one hell of a row this bloke and his missus started screaming at each other Anyway he slaps her the she slaps him back and they were arguing and fighting. Well somebody must have called the Local Plod, because this Copper turns up and tries to calm things down. Only for the bloke to start having ago at the Copper. You'll never guess what happened next. Both my Mates Shook Their Heads. This Crocodile Comes Along And Eats Them All.

I went to help a mate out with his boat hiring business. What would happen each boat had a number on it and people would hire the boat for a certain length of time and when the time was up the boat number would be called in over a Mega Phone, and the boat would be returned. My mate showed me how to go on. Right when a boat been out long enough you pick up the Mega Phone and say Boat 24 come in Please Boat 24 Thankyou. He gave me the Mega Phone and after about quarter of an hour I announced Boat 99 come in Please Boat 99 Thankyou. I haven't got a Boat 99 said my Mate. Picking up the Mega Phone I asked, Boat 66 are you in trouble?

I remember one time a girlfriend and I were walking along the edge of a Farmers field, it was Harvest time so all the Hay had been stacked. I said to her Do you Fancy a Roll in the Hay? Yeah Ok she said. We dug our way into the Hay stack and things started to get passionate, she pushed me backwards when Suddenly I got an agonising pain in my left Buttock. I yelled in pain. What's the matter? she asked I told her my problem. Roll over and let me have a look she ordered. I did as she told me. Blimey how unlucky Can You Get? You've got a Big Needle Stuck In Your Bum Cheek.

Then there was this Chap who had a little Jack Russell Dog. He took that Dog with him everywhere he went. He even took the Dog Hand Gliding with him, What he'd do was have a sling tied between his ankles and tie the Dog in the Sling and off they'd Go. And as they floated around in the Sky Bird Poo would be the least of a Car Owners Worries.

A neighbour of mine who's not the sharpest Knife in the draw and me were stood talking at his Garden gate, when a Lorry load of Turf went past. I wish I was rich enough to send my Grass away to be cut, he said. How about the Red Indian Chief who died after drinking 57 cups of PG Tips. They found him lying in his own Tea Pee My Family Tree only goes back 3 Generations my Grandad was a Lumber Jack.

Match Discussion: Game 46 - The Green (A)
Robbie I said that Macca and Cedwyn should have started the Colchester game up front and see how that went. At the least Ceds should have had some game time today. Maynard is he a Glutton for Punishment? He must have known that that kind of Performance is Going To Rankle Fans, does he Enjoy getting Abuse from Fans on Social Media? You know it's going to be coming with Venom, what is up with the Bloke? After clawing back some sort of Dignity and Respect from Fans the Magpies turn in a Display like that. How many better players are going to attracted to the Club with a Dithering undecisive Head Coach in the Dug Out? Let's hope Notts can hold onto Jim O'Brien because if the Magpies don't get off to a Decent Start, next season Jim could find himself back in charge as interim Boss again.

PATHETIC CAN'T EVEN BEAT THE TEAM AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LEAGUE. One Striker up front Again. Seriously Maynard brings the Fans Wrath Down upon his Own Head with his choices. From an Off Season where there could have been plenty of Hope for the Club at the beginning of 2024/2025 for the Next three months there's only going to be Negative response from the Fans and Fresh Calls for Stuart Maynard's head and how much Longer is the "Model" game plan going to be played, until it's realised it doesn't work in League 2? There's going to be Massive Questions asked in this coming off Season and if they're Not Answered there is going to be an Exodus of Fans from the Lane. At Least the RAMS WON and are Promoted back to The Championship. Happy For You Super Ram at Least you have something to Celebrate Good on Yer.

There's a Couple of Brothers I know who have a Prize Bull and they hire out the Bull to service Cows all over the Country and they make thousands of Pounds at it. Anyway I met them in the Pub the other week looking a bit worried What's up Lads ? I asked. It's the Bull it's got a problem like blokes who have Brewers droop. So we've had to get the Vet in. £500 it's cost for these special pills. Well a few days later I was back in the Pub chatting to the Landlord. I asked him about the Brother's Bull. Did the Pills cure the Bulls Problem? Oh aye says the Landlord the Boys gave the Bull four tablets and that very afternoon it goes out and services 27 cows. 27 Cows I said I wonder what's in them pills? I don't know replied the Landlord But They Taste Of Peppermint.

If there was a vote on who would win the contest of the World's Best Religious Leader? I'd have a fiver on the Dalia Lama if I was a Tibetan Man. Then there was the Bloke who played the Piano on a Platform in a Railway Station. After he'd finished, I had a little Tinkle on it myself and saved 30p. I was once asked if I was a Considerate Lover? I replied Yes I always lift my feet up when the Wife's hoovering.

Walking round B & Q there was a big Orange sign which said Stainless Steel Sinks. I thought yeah I know it does. My Mates wife had a Bluebird tattooed on her shoulder when she was in her 20's. Now she's in her 60's It looks like a Vulture. I used to be a Human Cannon Ball in a Circus. £120 a week plus a bit of Travel Money. My youngest Son comes in the front room and says Dad there's a bloke with a Bald Head at the Door. I said Tell him I've already got one.

As this is the final Game of the season perhaps it's time to give a couple of Notts youngsters a chance of minutes on the pitch. Also start Cedwyn Scott from the off along side Macca. Hopefully Macca can score a Brace to push him past the 30 goal in a season mark. Final score Forest Green 0-3 Notts.

I used to race Pigeons. But got fed up of always being beaten. I was saw this bloke on the rifle range at a Fun Fair. His first shot took the head of a Teddy Bear his second shot smashed a load of plates . Ok said the Stall owner Put the Gun down and you can have any prize in booth. The guy looks at the Stall owner and says I'll have one of those Moving Tin Ducks. I'm not saying my Wife's a bad cook. But Flies don't buzz around our Dust Bin. They lean on it and Moan.

So I rang up the Spiritual leader of Tibet and a fortnight later a goat with a long neck arrived for me. Apparently I'd called Dial a Lamar. Have you ever heard of Spoonerisms? That 's when you take the first letter of somebody's name and change it with the First letter of their last name. Like Nottingham's famous son Robin Hood, becomes Hobin Rood, Little John becomes Jittle Lohn and Will Scarlet is Sill Wcarlet, mind you you'll have to be careful with Friar Tuck. I saw a small ad in the local paper it said Ugly Fat Bloke Seeks Super Model with a Sense of Humour.

This young lady goes to a Tattooists and tells him My soon to be husband is really into Tattoos and as a surprise on our wedding night I want a Tattoo to show him. Ok says the Tattooist What were you thinking of doing? I'd like you to tattoo a little Butterfly on each of my Bum Cheeks. Sorry says the Tattooist I can't Tattoo Butterflies there the worst thing to Tattoo. I can do a you a Bee I'm World Famous for me Bees. Well I really wanted Butterflies, but if you can't do them I'll have a Bee on each cheek. So she has a Bee Tattooed on each cheek of her Bum. Anyway on her Wedding Night she comes out of the bathroom, turns her back on her husband, lifts the her nightie bends over and says Well What Do You Think? Her new husband looks and says Who The Hell's BOB ?

My Mate's daughter and Son in law took him to a Garden Centre the other week he was looking around when he was approached by a youth who worked there. Can I help you Sir? Yes replied my Mate I'd like to buy a Garden. We don't sell Gardens Sir only things that go in a Garden. Oh in that case, I'd like to buy a Path said my Mate.

Match Discussion: Game 45 - The U's (H)
I guess I'll just have to Agree to Disagree with you Robbie. Maynard still could have played Macca and Cedwyn up front from the off even if Ceds had only lasted till half time. Jodi was kept very quiet today he didn't play to his usual high standard, the Colchester defender on his side didn't give him anything. Ashby-Hammond almost cost Notts a goal with his wondering out of his 18 yard box, the Colchester player almost chipped him but his shot hit the woodwork. If it was Jim's last game at Meadow Lane he certainly went out like A Warrior, if only he was 5 or so years younger. He needs to be kept at the Lane in some sort of capacity next season. Dan Crowley was outstanding again and Macca well he was just Macca, he came up with the Goal to break the Stalemate and was unlucky not to score more. Despite the recent Results there still needs to be Massive Changes at Notts in the off Season. An interesting quote from the Forest Green Owner when asked about their two successive Relegations he honestly stated Our Recruitment over the last two seasons has been Abysmal. So lets hope Montague and his team get things Right. The first couple of months next season should be enough time to tell if Stuart Maynard is the Man for the Job at Notts.
