Apollo 8: William Anders
Blimey @Robbie I well remember that mission and watching the Splash down and the Apollo Crew being brought on Board the Pick Up Ship along with my Dear Old Dad (well he wasn't Old then). There were many legendry films from the Apollo missions that remain in the memory from the Triumph of the Moon Landing and the Tragic Capsule fire which killed all the Crew. I believe that was the year before the Apollo 8 mission. And the Apollo 13 Mission and the Houston We Have A Problem line, which I Believe was Misquoted, not sure of the proper quote.

Question Will A.I. Ever Coach A Football Team?
@Robbie Agreed with what you say regarding emotionless and relationship with the Fans and the Rest of your points. But if Android players make the Powers that be Money then you can Guarantee, pretty much like top Premier League Clubs nowadays, Fans feelings will Count for Nothing.

Have You Seen The England Squad for the Euro's?
It would seem while a good selection of Fans are happy with Southgate's Squad there is still a Big Worry from Fans that the England Defence doesn't have enough Experience. Well time will tell if Southgate's gamble will payoff or Not.

Question Will A.I. Ever Coach A Football Team?
In all honesty will there ever be a day when Humanoid Robot's actually take over from real Human Players ? Could Artificial Life forms out think and out play Human opposition? At the moment this seems to be in the realms of Science Fiction, but maybe one day. Already Robotic Engineers have built Robots which can help in Factories, around the home and even in combat. There are many types of Humanoid Robot's already built who can perform certain tasks to view on You tube and who's to say how long will it be before Robotics enters the World of Sport ? Who knows your Great (or Great Great Grandkids) may be watching a Robotic Team of Magpie players down the Lane on a Saturday. Just Imagine a Android likeness of Macca playing along side an Android Les Brad in attack. While a Killer Kilcline and a Michael Doyle Robot would boost the Notts Defence. The only real expense a Club would have would be up dating it's Soft Ware. No injuries, No Medical Bills, No special diets. No Player fatigue No Subs just a Small Squad of maybe 15 Androids, a First team 11 and 4 Robots on Standby in case of any Damages or Power Failures in the First 11 during a Match. All the Android Players would be programmed with all match tactics. Could it happen ? Who knows? But Don't Discount it.

Question Will A.I. Ever Coach A Football Team?
@Robbie I was thinking along the lines of a Humanoid Robot. Then Robot Players. How do you feel about that? Could it Happen?

Question Will A.I. Ever Coach A Football Team?
With the Advance on a almost daily Basis, could there ever be a Time when Football Clubs are Managed or Coached by Artificial Intelligence?

A Nice Simple Question.
@Scotty I was not aware of any Italian Investment, if it has happened then it doesn't appear to be in any Media either National or Local. And there been nothing on the Official Notts County Site. Other members on PON may have heard of it but Notts Fans I know all have stated they've heard Nothing. In fact looking at anything on the Internet, the Owners of Notts County are Chris & Alex Reedtz owners of Football Radar and there's Nothing regarding them being the Heads of a Consortium in purchasing Notts. But as long as they keep the Magpies on a Financial Even Keel and there's No worries of the Magpies going into Administration, then all Well and Good. It appears that Notts have Adopted a Slow But Sure Attitude regarding Promotion higher up the Football Pyramid. And as Notts Advance I Honestly Hope the Club Remain Family Focused and there's Always a Connection between Players and Notts Fans.

Tennis. Brit Watch.
Wheelbarrow repair man replied to Robbie's topic in The Sports Stage: Everything Outside of FootballHey @Robbie have you seen the Lee Evans skit on the Scoring in Tennis on You Tube? It's very Funny and well worth a Watch.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
On a visit to the Doctor's I was informed don't eat anything Fatty. What like Chips Pies Crips ? I asked No said the Doc .Don't eat anything Fatty!! My Mate thinks he's a Chocolate Orange. I'm worried he might be sectioned. Poor Terry. I remember one time before me and the wife were married we were snogging on the Settee and she looked at me and said Do you want to take this into the Bedroom. I said Ok you grab the other end. A Mate of mine lost his job as a Zoo Keeper. Which he thought was very unfair. Throughout the Zoo there were signs everywhere saying Do Not Feed The Animals. So He Didn't.

A Nice Simple Question.
@Scotty An interesting comment but if it's Not a Secret how do you know all this? Most Fans on PON just seem to be able to speculate about what's going on at the Lane and express their opinions, but your comment seems to give a more in Depth answer regarding what the Owners intend to do with the Magpies, there are somethings within your comment I've never read or even heard rumoured about. Do you have a connection with someone at the Club? Because it can't be down to Rumour and Hearsay.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
I bought a Chameleon Lost it. I once took a dehumidifier in to a Sauna, just to see which one would win. I pulled up in a layby and there was a sign which said No Dumping. I was Ok I only wanted a wee. I thought P.P.I was something you got if you didn't wear goggles, at the Swimming Baths.

Have You Seen The England Squad for the Euro's?
@Robbie Must admit I was surprised by the omission of Notts Old Boy Grealish. Thought he had a decent Cameo against Bosnia, That assist he did was amazing. I mean why play the Guy if you're not going to pick him? Even if he didn't Start a match he could have certainly play the part of a Super Sub, how many times have you seen a player come off the bench and have a match winning effect on a Game? Mind you I think he's in Pep's Bad Books because he hasn't been playing for City in their Big Games. And if I'm Honest it wouldn't really surprise me to see him leave the Etihad.

Anyone on PoN going to Neil Warnock's evening?
Well the the Crowd seemed to Enjoy it from watching this snippet. I still think he'd have been a Good appointment as Director of Football at Notts. Thanks for the Upload @Piethagoram.

Have You Seen The England Squad for the Euro's?
Will the Real Gareth Southgate Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up!! At long last this inept Manager as Stopped Picking his Favourites and gone for on Form Youthful Talent. The Trouble is will he allow them to play or Strangle their Skills with his usual Dreary Tactics?

Notts County welcome Steve Collis.

Should Parachute Payments be abolished.
@Robbie Speaking of Yo Yo Clubs. I think one of the other N.C.F.C teams have benefitted most out of said payments that Being Norwich City.

What's the point of VAR?
@Robbie Like you say NO Backbone (well all except Wolves) makes you Wonder What Sort Of Hold The Premier League Has Over It's Members? Even the Red Dogs across the Trent have caved in and are Towing the PL Line. Daft is it Not?
-
What's the point of VAR?
I think the Reason for Var is, the Premier League and F.A. want a Prem Game to last as long as American Football matches ( they can take up to four hours) Let's hope that if somebody at the F.A comes up with the idea of Having VAR through out all Leagues. If it's ever proposed, the EFL should Dismiss it instantly.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
You know as you Travel around don't see some strange signs like All Day Breakfast. I thought I haven't got time for that. Family Fun Day. Now there's three words that don't belong together. Then there was the time my watch stopped during a minute's silence I was stood there for hours. I couldn't tell anybody. Imagine coming Last in a Race For Life.

Notts fan on Pointless
I think that Programme is Aptly Named it is POINTLESS. Nev a Notts Fan and quiz partner a Forest Fan. I bet they have some Interesting Debates !!

A Nice Simple Question.
Ok Here Goes. NO. Certainly NOT in it's current form. I think for any Club in the Lower Leagues to Gain Premiership Status their Owners are going to have to have Very Deep Pockets. Wexham come to mind but at the moment their American Owners haven't faced any Sort of a Major Footballing Problem. Their Reaction when something goes Drastically wrong at the Club, will show how Loyal they are to the Red Dragons. Another reason I'll state is this, well a Question to ask, do the Current Owners of Notts have the type of Money to be able to get Notts into the Premier League and keep the Magpies there and make any sort of Impact? Looking at their current financial position the answer is NO. Now that's No disrespect to Chris & Alex, we Notts Fans could never repay them for what they have done, at the Lane since they purchased the Club from it's previous Owner. But if their current financial position excludes them from taking Notts into the English Games Top Division, it would seem New Owner(s) would come in and No one knows how any New People would run the Club, nor how long they would remain the Owners if the Going Got Tough. I certainly don't want to be throwing my loose change into a plastic bucket again. How many current Notts Fans would be able to afford the outrageous Season Ticket Prices some current Premier Clubs charge? And would they be content with what appears to be none interest from the Club, with the attitude of Give Us your money which seems the Mantra of Top Clubs? I Don't Want That (your opinions may differ) I just want to make sure that the Magpies are on a Financial Even Keel and the Club is still here when I can bring any Grand kids down the Lane. No Matter what League they are in.

D day 80th anniversary
Let Us All Be Thankful for every Brave Man and Women who fought for the Freedom We Have Today. Let us never Forget them, No We will Never forget them, explain to your Children, Grand Children and Great Grand Children the sacrifices the Allied Forces made to stop the Nazi Jack Boot, enslaving all peoples and us having to live under Tyranny. Because if Hitler and his mob had Won a Great deal of Us Alive today simply wouldn't Be. I am thankful to both my Grandfathers who fought, I could never thank them properly, for I was very young when they both died and didn't know what they and millions of others went through, for the Sake of Our Freedom. LEST WE FORGET.
