  1. Well it seems that the appalling 2024 results haven't gone unnoticed by the Board which is a Good Sign. And hopefully the Metrics that's been studied shows which players need replacing and which positions need Strengthening particularly in Defence. It would also seem Maynard is going to stay, however how this will affect Season Ticket Sales Remains to be Seen. To get dissatisfied Fans back on side I think Notts and Maynard are going to have to Win their last Five Games. Injuries have played apart in Notts Decline, which is an indication there needs to be a Greater Depth in the Notts Squad, however that doesn't mean the Board going out and buying Players Willy Nilly as under past owners, but reading the report the Brothers are well aware that the Club's Financial Stability is First and Foremost. There is a plan Liverpool have adopted under Jurgen Klopp which if it isn't being done at the Lane, perhaps could be put into practice. That is all players both senior and youth plus their Coaches all eat together and talk and discuss things and how to adopt to the way the Head Coach wants the team to play tactically, so not only Fringe players (when they get the chance) can easily slip into their role when they're required it's the same for the Youth Team. This is how the Liverpool youngsters helped the Reds beat Chelsea in the League Cup Final. Imagine if Notts did the same, so even the Magpies youngsters could fit seamlessly into the Notts system .It's Nice To see We Fans have been praised for our support Now we need something to cheer again. I would hope though it's Not Expected that Notts will run away with the Title next season if they are Promoted all Well and Good, bit it's not the End of the World if they Don't. C.O.Y.P.
  2. Robbie You're Bang on with your remarks about the Top Six PL clubs and to think if a player say Haarland at Man City donated one weeks wages it would probably pay off Torquay's debts. The Financial Structure within English Football is so very very wrong.
  3. What? I'm sorry but what the Hell has Football got to do with Military Conflict ? Unless of course your idea is instead of countries going to War they have a Football Match to sort out their differences.? Winner takes it all? And No I've Not taken your survey and have No intension of doing so. What's Next ? Asking Football Fans views on which club as the Best Singing Fans and should they represent the UK in Eurovision?
  4. And to think only a few years ago they were close to getting Promoted back to the EFL.
  5. A Mate of mine is an impressionist and a rather Good One, he does a very funny skit about Star Trek. I'd not seen him in awhile but bumped into him the other day. Hello Phil not seen you in awhile where have you been? I asked. I took my act all around Europe, in fact I'm just back from Northern France. Oh Dunkirk? Yes he replied And Spock, Scottie and Doctor McCoy.
  6. Robbie All of Your positives should be Celebrated. It's just that I think there could have been so Much More and like you have said Lets hope Chris & Alex manage to Top Up That Glass, for the Start of 2024/20255.
  7. This is Interesting the Scottish Hate Law that as come into affect will cause havoc in Scottish Football and quite possibly English football as well. By that I mean if you say something write some and another person finds it offensive then you could End Up Going To Jail for up to Seven Years. So that means Fans won't be able to Chant or call out a bad decision made by a Match Official because if he feels he's being victimised then what will happen? Does it mean Clubs will be fined? Will clubs have to install C.C.T.V to try and locate Fans who have said or appeared to say something against an official or even another Fan either one of their own or the opposition? And get that Person Arrested? So lets see what Chants would have to be stopped by Notts supporters. You're Not Singing Any More. A visiting Fans is upset because the Kop are insinuating they can't Sing! I had a Wheelbarrow the wheel fell off this gives the impression that who ever built the Wheelbarrow produced Shoddy Workmanship. You Don't Know What You're Doing, this clearly Shows that it's being insinuated that the person who's being shouted at is Thick or Stupid. Get In, this will upset opposition Fans because they don't want their Team Scored Against. Chants or expressions that will be alright (or Perhaps Not) Excuse me Mr Referee but I Believe you got that Decision Wrong. I can loan you my Spectacles if you wish. I think that player is a Real Hard illegitimate child. I think our Head Coach is unsure about the team's line up. And I'm sure Fellow Magpie Fans can think up other things I May Have Missed.
  8. I was going to say something Robbie but I think it would just be going over Old Ground.
  9. I was at the Doctors having a check up and he asked what colour are your Stools? He looked a bit confused when I said they're light brown with a Tartan top. I got home the other day and found I'd locked myself out. Looking through the window I saw the Cat Let me I said. The Cat looked at me and said Me Ow? We've got a New Puppy which the kids sat on a Piece of Sandpaper they then asked How do you feel Puppy, the answer was Ruff. Then there was the Astronaut who declared he was going to land on the Sun. When asked how he was going to achieve this, he replied he was going to Travel at Night.
  10. Robbie I like your Positivity. But everything at the Lane isn't all Sunshine and Roses and we Mustn't Lose Track that there are the Problems that need to be Resolved. What you've stated in your comment is True however for every Positive there is a Negative. Yes Notts have scored the most Goals in League 2 but they have also had the Most Goals scored against them. The Strike Force is Feared by opponents it used to be and other Teams played Negatively against the Magpies True until Teams learned how to handle the Notts System. Macca is the Leagues Top Scorer but is only one in front of Matt Smith, but hopefully he'll find his scoring touch again and hit the 30 goals target. Notts will comeback stronger than ever Next Season, they might but Recruitment as got be Top Drawer not just the odd decent player joining the Ranks. We the Fans know where the Problems lie at the Lane the Trouble is Do those in Charge Know? And will they do anything about it? Will weak players on Two years contracts be kept on or released? Will there be a New Man in the Dug Out? Positive vibes are all well and Good but the Real World is very different at Notts at the moment. Fans reading this will just think I'm All Doom and Gloom but I think I'm just being Realistic and Honest on the way I see things at the Lane, at this present time. There will be Fans who think and see things differently to me and that's Fine but lets look at things in Reality Not through Rose Tinted Glasses.
  11. My Mates Grandson as just celebrated his fourth Birthday but he can't say Please in Spanish. That's Poor For Four. I went for an audition at our Local Amateur Dramatics group they're doing a Play about a Japanese Prisoner of War Camp. So there was me and seven skinny blokes. Anyway the Director comes over to me and says Who are you supposed to be? A Japanese Prisoner of War. But you must be 17 stone said the Director Ah yes I replied But they only caught me yesterday. I did get a part in that Famous Play The Bare Foot Contessa. I played the part of a Bunion.
  12. That's a Toughie is it because other Teams sign proper Defenders who Know How Defend?
  13. Looking at your Line up Ohh Tommy Johnson their isn't even a Full Bench would there be any harm in filling it with Youngsters? Even if they didn't get the Pitch the Experience of being chosen for the First team would be a Massive Boost to their Moral. It would give any Players with a niggle or illness a chance to recover, without having to play with their injury and make that injury worse.
  14. Piethagoram wouldn't you say Man Management is one of the things that is Lacking at Notts at the moment? Neil Warnock wouldn't be solely in charge of Recruitment as Director of Football he would have other duties and I would think Maynard would Benefit from a mentor like Warnock.
  15. So Me and a couple of Mates were watching one of those Murder Mystery programmes on the tele. Just before the end I said Come on then who do you think did it? I reckon it was was Basil. Why do you say that? Well when they found the body in the herb garden, the victim had a Basil Leaf in his hand. Yeah I agree I think it was Basil to My other Mate said Well it was a good job he wasn't Murdered by his Uncle Dick, God alone would know what they'd have found in his hand then.
  16. Ohh Tommy Johnson Maybe Just Maybe Now Is The Time To Blood Some Of The Young Players? At least they'll Give It A Go. Notts 0-2 Harrogate is my Prediction then again the Magpies may just scrape a 0-0. Happy to be Proven Wrong.
  17. Indeed Robbie Indeed the trouble is it doesn't seem to be a Style that the current Coaching Staff at the Lane can grasp. There are things you must be fed up of repeating in your comments, I know there are in Mine. For instance the type of Football Notts played under Luke Williams worked in the National League, it also worked in League 2 until the opposition found out how to beat Notts style of play and when the Team who was Rock Bottom of the League can Put a Total of NINE GOALS past You over two games then the realization of You Must Be Doing Something Wrong should work it's way into Your Brain and Something Needs To Be Changed. Maynard is the Head Coach so he should be intelligent enough to know when Plan A isn't working then move to plan B or Plan C or D to find out a Winning Formula,. He's been at the Club long enough to know by Now his preferred Team Selection and How to handle different opposing teams styles , pitch conditions and how to produce a Winning Team? How ever it appears Not so that is another reason for him to GO.
  18. Ooh Tommy Johnson and Robbie I see what you mean Clone Coaches Clone Players Clone Game Plan. Could we see this at Notts next season? Maynard AJ You must score Goals. AJ Yes I must score Goals Maynard Defenders You must stop the ball getting into our Box Defenders Yes We must stop balls getting into our Box. Individual skills and Individual Talent Must Be Crushed At All Costs. We Must Only Play The Continental Way. Yes Individual Skills and Individual Talent Must Be Crushed At All Costs. We Must Only Play The Continental Way. Would you want to watch that kind of Football ? I know I wouldn't.
  19. It's all well and good playing attractive Football Robbie but it doesn't work in the Lower Leagues it's has you say, Notts need to mix things up instead of sticking to this Boring possessional stuff. I swear I dozed off for ten minutes at the Lane the other week and when I woke up Notts still had the ball in their own half. But seriously if the Magpies are going to play this kind of Football at least play it at a Decent pace. Another thing Notts need to learn is how to Park the Bus how many times have Notts had a one goal lead or playing for a Draw and allowed the opposition to score late in the game? I keep an eye on the Swansea Results and when Luke Williams first arrived there, the Swans were in 15th place and they still are in 15th place, so his type of Football isn't doing what the Owners hired him for that is an advancement away from the Championship Relegation Zone. So it looks like he'll have to learn to Mix things up as well as the Notts Coaching staff need to do.
  20. It seems it's Rude to ask a Lady her age, so say How much do you Weigh? My mate was telling me that in his younger days he used to live a Korean Girl. She was an amazing Cook and could make a pie from Scratch. Thing is I Loved that Dog.
  21. Piethagoram Why do some Fans seem to think the appointment of Neil Warnock as a Director of Football means he'll take over the running and picking of the Team? That's the Head Coaches job. The Director of Football job is to Provide recommendations on Crucial matters. Such as Players Recruitment Academy Strategy and Coaching Appointments. Plus Physicality of Players as you put it, is something that's needed in League 2 NOT this tippy tappy Chuckle Brothers type of football From Me To You, From Me To You, OOOPs the opposition's got the Ball and Scored. Maybe just maybe if someone like Warnock had been Director of Football he'd had spotted the weakness in certain players, and recommend Not to Hire Stuart Maynard and Notts wouldn't have found themselves in their current Predicament. One thing for sure if the Notts Coaching team carry on their present path playing the type of Football they're playing, the Magpies will end up back in the National League.
  22. I understand your points True Magpie, but it also comes down to ambition of both players would they both be content staying at Notts when they have an opportunity to advance their careers? Firstly Macca he strikes me as a Loyal sort of player, but kicking around in the Lower Leagues is that going to challenge him and spark any ambitions he may have playing at a higher Level? No I don't think so, if Notts had been there or there about's regarding Promotion this season I would say the chances of Macca staying at the Lane would have been much better. Another thing that most Fans seem to have forgotten about, is the players agent and the sort of sway they might have over Macca and What If Luke Williams could convince the Swansea owners that Macca is worth a risk, could you see him turning down a chance to play in the Championship? Like many others I would hate to see Macca go but if he does Good Luck to him a Footballers career is a short one and they need to look towards their Future. Jodi does seem to have hopefully thrown off his injury problems of late and Loyalty is a Big thing but as I've said (as with Macca) a footballers working life is a short one and sorry to say nowadays Money is all that matters to most players, that's not to say Jodi would leave the Lane just for the Sheer hell of it but his family will always come before football and if a bigger club comes in for him offering him more money then he's going to Go. And like any other player he'll want to display his talents at the highest possible Level.
  23. There seems to be a lot of people stating this was An April Fools Joke! If that's the case there must be One Twisted S.O.B working at Adidas.
  24. Last year our local village fete was cancelled because of an outbreak of Tom Bola. Lizard Lizard Lizard, is there a Gekko in here? Then there was the Dog Breeder who crossed a Rottweiler with a Saint Bernard. Really what type of Dog did he get? One that Ravages you then goes and gets you a Brandy. Sitting on the bus the other day, I looked at the bloke sitting next to me. He was my double I was beside myself.
  25. Interesting because Rock Band Kiss had to change the double S in their logo while on tour in Germany for more or less the same reason, the two S's it was stated looked like the double lightning bolt emblem used by German combat units during the War. Despite the fact two members of Kiss being Jewish and they said they had No Problem with the original Logo.
