  1. While I Know Football League World is classed as Gutter Press. There was a photo of Jim's statement from his Social Media Page, which read Well this Looks like It. Thankyou and Goodbye. I think that Jim will call it Quits and step away from playing altogether, there's No Point in thinking Well maybe One more Season, taking that sort of attitude will only give the impression of indecision and that in my opinion isn't Jim's way. Chris I'm also hopeful as you have stated Notts offer Jim more that Sheffield United Do in terms of Coaching advancement, he has Immense respect from the players which I am sure Jim returns that respect and who's Not to Say one day he could end up Managing the Magpies?
  2. Now there's another idea for a New Topic Robbie. Name all the current Squad and the length of their contracts and we can all go over the Pro's and Con's of each Individual player . Reckon it will produce a good Debate.
  3. Regarding the retained list Robbie I still think there's going to be an Awful Lot of Players who are Not League 2 Standard left in the Notts Squad come the start of next season. And the Magpies are going to suffer for it. I hope I'm wrong and poor players are removed to be replaced with players who have at least several League 2 seasons experience under their belts. And Recruitment is Top Notch otherwise Notts are going to find themselves struggling, and Stuart Maynard is going to find himself the scapegoat for the Recruitment Teams failings, and will eventually be out of a job.
  4. Stuart Maynard seems more relaxed in his interviews now and handles the questions better whether it's because only one guy asks the questions instead of two or three asking the same thing but in a different way or if he knows what questions are going to be asked and he's prepared for them. He appeared very cagey regarding who's going to be let go, but I think he's got an Idea already. And how long after the final Match will it be before we the Fans know.
  5. 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.
  6. I didn't know if to put this in the Joke of the Day section of the PON site, or on here. But it seems Wrexham are going to have competition signing Notts County's £340 K rated striker Macauley Langstaff . Who writes this Stuff? That comment is about as funny as New BBC Comedy show. It comes from a on line site called the Real EFL. It's about as real as Rocking Horse Poop. If the Author of this piece had done any research they would know the Price being banded about for Macca this season is £1.5 million and that's an insult. I hope the writer isn't getting paid for that story, if they are they should be wearing a Mask and Hooped Shirt.

  8. 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.
  9. Well it seems Wales on line has also swallowed the Clickbait has they have run a Story along the same lines. The thing is Wrexham have ambition and money to make a strong push for the Championship or even the Premier League. Another thing which makes people think Macca wont go to the Red Dragons is Paul Mullin stating he and Macca play a similar Role however Macca played a different role at Gateshead and it was Luke Williams who changed Macca's and Ceds roles around at Notts. Another big plus is the fact Macca (27) is two years younger than Mullin (29) and when a out field player hits 30 his chances playing in the Championship and Premier ( if he's not playing there already) can drop rapidly. An example is Jamie Vardy at Leicester if they get promoted back to the Premiership next season he isn't going to be a regular first team player is he? If the current Wrexham owners are happy enough to pour money into the club and their success continues with further Promotions should Macca join them he could be playing Premier League Football in three years. But when it's all said and done I think Macca might still end up in Wales but with Luke Williams at Swansea and if Williams can convince the Swans Owners I wouldn't be surprised to see Jodi go there as well.
  10. 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.
  11. I wonder why the Person who did the graphic didn't go into Greater detail? After all as Robbie as Stated there are many different reasons Macca didn't take his chances All top scorers miss chances. Lee Hughes scored 59/60 goals for Notts and you can bet he missed a fair few. Even the Great Les Bradd would tell you he's missed some sitters in his time. And do you mean to tell me that a Club from higher up the Football Pyramid who's interested in Macca is going to lose all interest in him because he's Not taken 29 chances? Or is that what the person who's produced this Data is hoping for? If that's the case, they're quite right Nothing to see Here Leave Macca at the Lane.
  12. Lets hope Stuart Maynard reads the Pride Of Nottingham Web Site and sees your two Gentlemen's ( Robbie & Piethagoram) excellent suggestions. Just don't hold Your Breath.
  13. I have stated in a couple of comments on PON that I had a Horrible Nagging feeling at the back of my mind that Wrexham might put in a Bid for Macca once the Summer Transfer window opens. Imagine to my Horror that Wrexham (along Bolton and Peterborough) are thinking of making such a Move. The story comes from the Football League World on line. Is it True or Just Paper Talk? Would Notts let Macca go to Wales if the price was right or wait for a better bid from a Championship Club? Or hold onto him with the hope his goals will get the Magpies into League 1 next season? It's going to be one Hell of an Off Season. Macca to Wrexham me and my Big Mouth !!
  14. As Greavesie used to say IT'S A FUNNY OLD GAME. Proof in Point.
  15. 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.
  16. I don't think it's the Owner DangerousSausage, it's the Owners Son, who seems to be getting more and more influence in the Running of the Club.
  17. This Young Man could be the Next big thing at the Lane. Providing of course he gets the Chances and is Not Continually Shipped out on loan season after season. He's already scored a Goal in the three matches he's appeared in, and as done well in each so surely he deserves a chance in the Notts Senior Squad next season?
  18. Going over some of Jim's past remarks there could be a position within the Club for him perhaps in the Academy? In one interview Jim said that he's changed his attitude towards some young players instead of screaming at them he puts his arm around the players shoulder and gets the way he wants them to play in a more calmer way. There are No doubt certain players understand things better if they're put to them in a forceful way while others need to be coaxed. Man Management Skills. I think Jim learned a lot from Luke Williams when he was at the Lane and what is the Best way to encourage players to play a certain way. Because when Jim took over the Head Coach job he assured the Media that Nothing had changed and the day to day training programmes remained the same, and in his interviews several times Williams stated he had Great Admiration and Respect for Jim and stated he was a Big Help in the Dressing room. The only Black Cloud on the Horizon, is the fact Jim is already coaching in some capacity at Sheffield United and as been for a while so could Jim end up with the Blades rather than at the Lane?
  19. Ohh Tommy Johnson I'm not so sure even if we lose Macca Jodi and Dan that the style of play will change because it seems the "Model" will remain in place because it worked in the NL so it'll work in League 2, even if it Doesn't being Stubborn and Reluctant to Change things around could prove costly for Notts next season. Continual interference from upstairs certainly wont help Stuart Maynard. Trouble is Robbie if we lose Jatta to injury (as is the case at the moment) that outlet is closed. Could Scott take that role? I don't know because I don't know how tall he is, he's not as tall as AJ but I think he's bigger than Macca. Finally I refer back to the excellent topic Retain Release Sell Keep by ARLukomski regarding Notts and I'll say I agree with him Notts need to be Brutal in the Summer there really needs to be a Massive clear out because it's been painstakingly obvious a huge section of the current Magpies Squad is Not League 2 Standard. And just because one or two players have performed "better" in their past few games doesn't mean they should be kept, their whole season performances need to be looked at. Because if players are retained that aren't good enough then Notts are Going To Struggle. We the Fans are Aware of this lets just hope the Powers That Be are aware of it also.
  20. Robbie Before the arrival of Stuart Maynard Jim as we know was in charge for the one game which ended in a 5 all draw. And in one of his pre match interviews he told of all the players calling him Gaffer which shows the type of Respect Jim as from his fellow players. It certainly would have been Interesting to say the least if Jim had been offered the Head Coaches Job till the end of the season. Would the Magpies final League position have been higher than their current position? We'll Never Know. One comment which made me smile when Jim was appointed Head Coach was Hire Jim he'll get the JOB Done. Very Clever that. Lets just hope the Club offers him a coaching position and Jim accepts it.
  21. Sorry Don't Care he made a callosal mistake at Notts by stating It's My Way Or The Highway. Which he may have got away with if he'd been a decent sort of manager. Owner at the time Alan Hardy got something right for once by getting rid of him Early Doors. And he didn't pull up any trees in any other of his English football Coaching positions. Yeah Coaching in Japan might just be about his level. He certainly wasn't Going To Make it at the Lane. He seemed to get both Players and Fans backs up Not something you need from your Head Coach.
  22. You Ain't Wrong Fan of Big Tone. The word Legend is banded about a little to Freely nowadays, but in Jim's case it certainly is Appropriate.
  23. Have I read that right Robbie, if the Club wants to bring in better players the answer to that question is No ? That all rather confusing really.
  24. Ohh Tommy Jim has said on a Social Media Post Well this looks like it. Thankyou and Goodbye. (Source Football League World) So that sort of gives the hint Jim's footballing career is Finished at the Lane. Plus his Standing Ovation at the Lane last Saturday, it would seem all that's left is confirmation from the Club. Robbie at 36 Jim is considered Old from a Footballing pointing of view and I don't think hanging on for another year at Notts only playing the Odd game or Odd minutes here and there is the way Jim will be wanted to remembered. He did his bit against Colchester and was awarded the Man of the Match for his Warrior type play, it's Hard for anyone to say that's it But let's remember Jim as a Battler rather than someone who just mooches around the Lane hoping to get a game now and again. Like I've said Jim needs to be kept at the Lane in some sort of position and I totally agree with you he'll end up in the Big Chair one day, in Charge of his own Team.
  25. Proof DangerousSausage if proof was needed that the controlling bodies of British football need to be totally reorganized and people at the top need to be removed and replaced with people who have an understanding of the Modern Game and have the Fans interests at Heart.
