  1. Piethagoram Yep. What usually happens in these sort of programmes the Same Old Same Old ground will be covered things will asked so has not to present the guests with Awkward Questions they Can't or Don't want to Answer. When the Hard questions come to the surface it will be Well We've Ran Out of Time, we'd like to thank our Guests Joe Palmer and Richard Montague for their time and NOT Answering Any Questions That Notts Fans Really Want Answering. Yeah OK I Added the Last Bit. Will the Questions be written or Phoned in by Fans? If it's the latter, it will probably be and What is the Question you want to ask Joe or Richard? You tell them, and their answer will be Thankyou for your Question caller , your question is in a queue and will be answered if Time Permits. Sound Familiar?
  2. Do you think there'll be many League 1 or League 2 matches Robbie? My guess most matches covered will be in the Championship and Top of League 1 clashes with the odd League 2 game thrown in I don't see many mid to lower League 2 matches being covered though.
  3. The most annoying thing about it super_ram is these people can't come up with own articles and have to pinch them from others and on Top of That they Get Paid for it.
  4. I enjoy reading the points of view other Fans on PON. Sometimes their remarks are Serious other times Funny and other times Thought Provoking. However it's come to my attention that other Authors on other Media platforms are stealing (for want of a better word) ideas comments and authors remarks from the Notts Fans who write on this sight. Case in point the other day I suggested that perhaps Luke Williams may speak to the Swansea board about signing Macca and low and behold a couple of Days later some Hack had taken my comment and had written an article around it. There have also been other segments of articles I've seen and as I read it I think I'm sure I've read this on PON. While I'm sure there isn't anything we Fans can do about this, should you be one of these people who take Notts Fans remarks stories or Topics from this site, then at Least Have the decency (which probably something New to you) to quote the Pride Of Nottingham as your source. Any other PON Members come across this?
  5. Do you ever get one of those days when you just can't be bothered? The Wife said to me go outside and see if it's raining. I replied Call the Dog in and see if it's Wet. I've got a mate who is very unlucky. He bought a Jelly Fish and it Set. Jumping to conclusions, is the only exercise the Wife gets. I bought some Rat Poison and asked the shop assistant what do I do with it? She replied You put it round the Rat's hole. I said if I could get that close I'd Hit it with a Brick.
  6. Unless of course your Owners have an awful lot of Money to shall we say , offer "gifts" to the Football higher ups so they turn a blind eye on your over spending while not so rich Premier League Clubs suffer with a points deduction and possible Relegation.
  7. I Still Don't Understand the reason for Clubs who get in Financial Trouble are deducted points, on Top of any fines they may incur. Hasn't the club suffered enough? There must be some other way to punish a Team then take off points they've already earned. Plus the Fact next season isn't point deduction being scraped, so teams like Manchester City and Chelsea will get away Scot Free with charges against them?
  8. I realise this is a Joke Piethagoram however Being Picky (which I can be) the term Inn can not be used in the Fan Zone name because by Law the term Inn indicates that there are rooms in the building for Patrons to sleep if needed. Well that's me being being a Smarty bottom over for today.
  9. Hey how about Vikings Lodge? In honour of our Danish Owners.
  10. I went into a shop and asked if they Sold Rat Poison. The woman behind the counter said they didn't .Have you tried Boots. I replied I Don't Want To Kick Them To Death. I lent a Mate £10,000 for plastic surgery on his face. Now I can't recognize him to get me money back. Me and a couple of friends were in Caffe we got our meals then the Waiter asked did we wont Salt? Yes please said one mate. The Waiter pulls out a Salt cellar from his left hand pocket and sprinkles it over our meals. Would you like Pepper? asked the Waiter . Yes Please said my other Mate. The waiter took a Pepper Pot out of his right hand pocket and sprinkled it over our meals. I looked at my Friends and said What ever you do Don't Ask For Vinegar. I remember when I was young I'd go out sowing my Wild Oats. Then the following morning I'd be praying for a Crop Failure.
  11. I'll tell you something my Gaffer at work is living proof Snow White and Dopey did have S EX. Red Sky at Night. Light of Shorter wave lengths is being dissipated by Water Vapour and Atmospheric Dust. Red Sky in the Morning Same A friend of mine was telling me that he and his Missus had had a Fairy Tale Wedding. Really? Yeah Grim.
  12. A comfortable win in the end for Luke Williams side, however the Swans still haven't moved either up or down in the League standings 15th and they may well end up in that position at the Season's end, it will be interesting to see if LW is given money to spend on New Players and turn Swansea into a team to challenge for a playoff spot next season. It also seems he's starting to form a relationship with the Swans Fans very much like he did at the Lane.
  13. After the game against Harrogate and the 3-0 Victory lets hope Notts don't do what they normally do and go and lose their next match. the only change I'd make from the Harrogate match, I'd play Jodi Jones from the start. Result 2-2 with Goals from Macca and AJ.
  14. I hope you're right regarding the Brothers hold on the Purse Strings Robbie ( I'm sure you are) it's just that I've seen to many of these Ideas men come into a business with all these promises of a Big Money Return for such and such investment only for the idea to fail, and to many failures would see the Business Crumble. I'm Not saying Joe Palmer is one of these Wide Boys it's just I Personally don't like the idea of to many projects going off all at once. Regarding the Nest his he hoping that Forest fans will also attend? Because personally I can't see the Fan Zone being supported financially by Notts fans alone. Will visiting fans be encouraged to visit the Fan Zone? If so Security will have to be tight especially if Alcohol is being served. The Nest can hold up to 1,500 Fans but how many will have to attend regularly to make it a success? 500 a 1,000 or the full quota of 1,500? I can't be the only Magpies Fan with worries hopefully the Club can be transparent with it's spending or give some idea and reassure Fans that Money is available and will cover the costs that will be required for all the Projects being presented. I for one wouldn't want to be throwing my loose change into a plastic bucket outside the ground or watch another Notts vs Forest match to help boost the Funds of the Club.
  15. Ohh Tommy Johnson my comment was made with tongue in cheek. And before Robots wouldn't Cybernetics come first ? Footballers with Cybernetic legs, Goalkeepers with telescopic arms. Defenders with telescopic necks despite all the Cybernetic Footballers will still have human brains, so Mistakes will be made.
  16. Piethagoram wouldn't that have been put towards the Compensation to Wealdstone (well part of it) paid by Notts to get Stuart Maynard and offer him a Three and a half year contract? I think Joe Palmer needs to walk before he can run and get his priorities right. The Playing surface which is being undertaken (that isn't going to come cheap) and the concourse repair has Robbie as mentioned. Mr Palmer needs to be reigned in with all these ideas he keeps coming up with, Notts after all are Not a Premier League Club with Premier League Money. Nice and Easy work within a Budget, Top Priorities The Pitch, New Players and Fan Comfort during a Match Day, because lets Not Forget Not All Notts fans can afford the Luxury of a Hospitality Box.
  17. This just in there is a rumour that Notts are going to sign an Irish Midfield Wizard he's only a little fella that goes by the name of A Knee Mick. A little lad asks his Dad. Dad where are the Rockies? I Don't Know Son. Dad when was the English Civil War? I Don't Know Son. Dad what the Square Root of 519? I Don't Know Son. Dad you don't mind me asking you these questions do you. Of course not Son how do you learn anything if you don't ask. This chap throws a coin into a Wishing Well then suddenly this little bloke playing a piano appears. The Chap say s I didn't wish for a twelve inch pianist.
  18. With the way Tech is advancing how long will it be before we get A I Coaches and Robot players? Think about it, you wouldn't have to pay your players, No training required No injuries No special Player diets, No need for Transfers just up date your programming. Coaches would be Super Computers which could switch game plans in micro seconds it would be Great until you get a Glitch or maybe a Virus, then you might get a slight problem.
  19. The Gulp a Nod to Beer Drinking Magpie Fans eh? I think Magpie should be incorporated in the Name because the Nest will still be associated with Notts County. Because people who are attending a Function there and don't where it is, they'll be told it's on Iremonger Road next to Meadow Lane where Notts County play and their nickname is the Magpies.
  20. I have to fully agree with you Robbie those three Players would also be my choice as well Not very original I know agreeing with you, but let's be honest despite the Ups and Downs of this Current season these Gentlemen have knuckled down and got on with their jobs. My only hope they'll all be in the Running for this Award at the end of Next season. However Jodi just shades Macca just.
  21. So it's been decided that the New Notts Fan Zone is being called the Nest. How Boring they must be something better or exciting more in tune with the Magpies. Going on the Old Internet I've come up with A Conventicle, A Gulp, A Mischief A Tidings or Tribe of Magpies. Any of those have to be better than The Nest. My Favourite one is A Tribe of Magpies. A Fan Zone called the Tribe of Magpies gives the impression of Fan togetherness and the Support of the Players and Club. The Nest Give me a Break. So my fellow PON Members what's your Favourite and Why?
  22. The Data says Notts says should be 8th Well They Ain't they're 15th. Data 0 Real World 1. What ever happened to the Football Scout who could go and watch a player and either say Yes that player would be ideal for the team or No he's not the guy for us. Examples Peter Taylor and Mick Jones Now what does the the Recruitment team do then? Put a players name into a Computer which the churns out numbers such as Goals scored assists made tackles done accurate passes etc etc signing the player without actually going to see him play? Is it the same Computer that said certain Notts players were up to League 2 standard when obviously they're Not? Data 0 Real World 2. There is No way a Computer can calculate how a certain player is feeling on a certain match day things such as problems in their private lives, such as a lack of confidence that's where a Coaches Man management comes in and if the Coach doesn't have that skill or struggles with it, well it's not going to help matters now is it? No matter how clever the Data is, it can't Calculate the Human aspect of things.
  23. There's an awful Lot Clubs starting to Struggle surely it's time for the FA/EFL to take their Blinkers off and get the money from the Premiership passed down through all Tiers of Football. The sooner the Government put an Independent Person in Charge of Football Finances the Better. But they must be Someone who won't be swayed ( which sounds much nicer than Bribed) by the top brass in the FA/EFL and Things Don't Change but Remain the Same.
  24. It's a Good Job the Brothers didn't have the same attitude as their Wealdstone counterparts, and how Lucky Maynard is, as I have Stated before any other Coach with Maynard's Record would have Been Let Go. Case in point with this story. Maynard's future lies with fact that a Good Start Next Season is a must and the excuse of he's got LW Squad won't wash anymore and if Notts start off Poorly then a New Man in the Dug Out will be essential. So Maynard's future is in his own Hands.
  25. Unfortunately menzinho but XG and XGA Data Doesn't Win Football Matches. Goals Do Notts can have 99.9% of play have 100 shots on goal But once the Final Whistle Blows and the opposition have One More Goal then They Get Three Points and the Magpies Don't. And it would seem the current Notts playing Model which as been Adopted is also based on this Data. I wonder if there's Data about how boring this type of Tippy Tappy pass back to the Keeper or Backwards and Forwards and Sideways Football is. What about the Data which says once the Opposition have found out how to close down your Game Plan and you end up Losing more matches than you Win?
