Goal of the Day
The Coventry Goal shows intelligence and skill by Carr and Hunt to produce an excellent Goal. So what does the FA DO? They BAN It, which proves that those in charge of English Football Didn't have a Clue Then and Still Don't to this Day.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
I got stopped by the Law. Been drinking have we Sir? Asked the Copper . I've had a couple , don't know about you officer. Got pulled over again the Policeman asked have you been drinking? Yes I replied 9 pints of Lager, 3 double whiskies and a Spiced Rum. Would you mind blowing into this bag Sir? Why ? I asked Don't you Believe Me? Me and a couple of mates staggered out of the Pub, in the car park a bloke had his head under the bonnet of his car. Wassa Marra? I asked. Piston Broke. Said the guy So am I mate so am I.

Goal of the Day
The Eli Sam goal was something else it was talked about all over the Internet and I believe it was put forward, for the Pukas Award but didn't even get a mention. Why would it ? Come on a goal scored by someone playing for a team like Lowly Notts County the Snobbery of the FA or FIFA just wouldn't allow it. Now if Eli Sam had been playing for Manchester City or Liverpool and scored that goal it would have more than likely Won It. The Michael Doyle goal from the half way line. Rooney scored a goal like that, Beckham scored a goal like that and the main stream sports media never shut up about them. But only the Loyal Notts Fans recall Doyle's goal. Total Proof of the Bias against teams in the Lower steps of the Football Pyramid.

Is it possible to actually rest John Bostock?
In these comment sections we fans make our observations of players and opinion of said players known. The thing is we aren't picking the team that rests solely with Stuart Maynard and his coaching team, so if David McGoldrick says he's fit you can more or less bet he'll be in the Notts team tomorrow evening, because all players want to play and it will be the same with John Bostock unless the Gaffer see's what we the Fans see (that Bostock is a pale imitation of player he was before the Mansfield injury and he does look lost without Matty Palmer) his vast experience will make him a starter for the Magpies vs Sutton. I totally agree with Fans on here Bostock should be rested, and Jim O'Brien should replace him, because JOB is the nearest thing Notts have to a leader on the pitch. Didzy should also be rested because if he has a slight injury it could become worse, by him trying to play on. Look what happened to Cedwyn Scott. The players problems may be over looked by Stuart Maynard because his main priority is getting Notts back on a winning track.

I don't like the word Wife, so I always introduce her as my ex-girlfriend which is pretty much the same thing really. My Wife knows everything about wine, like which wine goes with which Breakfast Cereal My Wife is a foot shorter than me, she doesn't even know I'm bald. I met my Wife on Jury Duty, that's how she got off.

Match Discussion: Game 27 - The U's (H)
Fan of Big Tone how right you are, regarding Stuart Maynard reading some of the comments on other platforms it seems some Fans have condemned Stuart Maynard to the scrap heap, with remarks like he's totally out of his depth, Go back to being a BT Engineer, we need a manager who knows League 2, Notts going straight back to the National League etc etc. But as other Fans have pointed out. Maynard is trying to different things and trying to find a winning formula and that will take time however it's seems certain Fans don't want to give him that time. It would also seem that players and Fans are still having Luke Williams withdrawal symptoms because the guy made an incredible impact with both players and Fans, but he's gone to pastures new, it's No Good Living Off Past Glories, that too as gone, and as soon as the players and the Fans accept that and embrace the New regime at the Lane the better. Maynard as one hell of a job on his hands and he knows it, as would any manager stepping into Williams shoes.

Match Discussion: Game 27 - The U's (H)
I know he's only had a second half appearance and he needs time to get in the Notts playing Style (such has it is), but I think Jatta is in the Eli Sam mould more than the Shola Ameobi mould. That is like Sam he'll come off the bench and get the odd goal, rather than Ameobi a big intimidating forward who scores and sets up goals. This probably seems harsh but I can't get rid of the nagging doubt I have in the back of my mind, and Nothing would please me more than to be proven wrong.

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
I once went fly fishing and caught a 7 pound Bluebottle. Me and the wife were staying at a nice hotel, we went down for breakfast first morning, there was a sign which said Breakfast 7am until 11 am. I'll tell you by 9 O'clock I couldn't eat another thing. I remember for our last anniversary I took the wife out No Expensive Spared. I even booked a table, which was a waste of time, she only potted three balls all night. What about that woman at the Diving World Championships, she's on the the diving board and she's got a fresh water fish under one arm. She dives off does a triple back somersault with Pike.

Match Discussion: Game 27 - The U's (H)
After the 5-1 drubbing Notts took in their opening game back in the EFL at Sutton, the Magpies really owe them and as they are the bottom of the League nothing less than three points will do and a 4 or 5 Nil victory would really be revenge for Notts. Looking at the remaining fixture left this season, unless things improve dramatically at Notts I can't see the Magpies getting more than between 15-20 points in the games left this season.

Torquay United: Heading for Administration?
The Trouble is Robbie, that the FA Don't Care as long as they've got their Premier League and all the money it generates and Top clubs also don't give a damn about any other clubs then their own and as they've proved before the EFL don't give two hoots about the Lower League Clubs.

Match Discussion: Game 35 - The Railwaymen (H)
You're so right Robbie, Notts need to learn to win Ugly my only worry is that their current game tactic is so ingrained that they won't be able to play any other way. I do so hope I'm wrong. The sign of a Good Team is they can adapt to the way any opposition plan and counter it as Crewe proved. As you stated in another one of your comments there needs to be one Hell of a Shake Up down the Lane in the Summer hopefully by then Cedwyn Scott Matty Palmer and Badge will be back from their long term injuries, and certain players will be let go and others released from their contracts. And both Jodi Jones and Dan Crowley will be offered extended contracts and who knows there may even be a New Man n the Dug Out as well. We'll have to wait and see.

Even more Ammo for the Anti Maynard gang, but after today's performance well who's not to say they don't have some points. This tippy tappy Football tactic was coming unravelled when Williams was still at the Lane and Maynard was bought in to carry on with this tactic and tighten the defence up, well the defence on occasion have not leaked as many goals in some recent matches but the Magpies still lost those games. Is the new Gaffer out of his depth ? Are certain players not up to League 2 standard? It would seem like it, Maynard came in when Notts were facing the top teams in the Division , but that excuse is starting to wear thin for some Fans and only gathering 4 points from the games he's been in charge doesn't bode well for the Gaffer. It would seem Notts forwards have forgotten how to score. This possessional Game Plan Needs To Be Scrapped and a new way to play needs to be introduced, sooner rather than latter or the Magpies decline will continue, Even if it's only going back to the basics. Crewe had three shots on goal and scored each time and were clearly the better side. If this losing streak isn't stopped a lot of Notts Fans are going to start looking for other things to do on a Saturday afternoon.

Weekend chat - Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th February
I remember when I was a little lad I went down to the barbers, it was a right pokey little place with only one chair. There were three blokes in front of me, and after each one had had his Hair Cut the Barber said, Anything for the Weekend Sir ? Two said yes while the third said he was fine. Then it was my turn once I'd had my Hair Cut the Barber said Anything else Young 'un ? I said Yes can I have something for the Weekend ? He gave me a Kite. I Loved that Kite and that's how I'd spend my Weekends.

Weekend chat - Friday 23rd - Sunday 25th February
Interesting you tell us about Friday night being your curry night. Not a Fan myself, but my brother in law and his wife are. They went to a newly opened Indian place and couldn't decide what to have, so they asked the waiter what he would recommend, he suggested Chicken Tarka, well they both heard of chicken Tikka but not chicken Tarka, they asked what the difference was and were told Tarka was a little 'Otter. I'll get my coat

Jokers Wild: Joke Of The Day.
What about the Football Team playing in the Europe for the first time , they're away in Germany, hold their own then in the last three minutes of the game the German Centre forward scores three goals. The Manager had to go to hospital for Jerry Hat Trick treatment. My Mum always told me there's always one weirdo on every bus. But I could never find him. Then there was the time my watch stopped half way through a minute's silence. I couldn't tell anybody, I was stood there for hours. I need to go and have my eyes tested, I never see the wife until I'm on top of her.

Can Notts County make the playoffs?
Do you remember that joker Oliver King he used to write about Notts on Nottingham Live ? He once wrote Notts were owned by Derek Parvis, ring any bells ? Anyway he writes for Football League World now. He seems to think if Notts don't get promoted or make the playoffs it's a disaster . Why ? I've said it before and I'll say it again Notts aren't ready for League 1. It may happen 2024/2025 it all depends on recruitment this Summer. I still think Notts are a side capable of attracting quality players to the Lane and over the past couple or so season's the Recruitment team have unearthed some Top Talent without breaking the Bank. Lets wait and see.

Three old guys sitting on park bench, first old man says it's Windy, his mate says No it's Thursday and third bloke says So am I lets go for a pint. I was once asked in I believed in reincarnation, I said No and I didn't believe in it when I was a Frog. Plural it's Binoculars. While singerly it's Telescope. Every time me and the wife make Love, I put a pound in a glass jar at the side of the bed, then come December , I take all the money out of the jar and buy the wife her Christmas present with money. I'll tell you what, she's Not getting that New Coat She Wanted.

Scott Robertson Reflects on his Notts County Journey So Far
I think this kid has a promising future down the Lane. And it will be interesting to see how he plays along side Matty Palmer, when Matty is back from injury and back in the team.

Notts Players/Managers Nicknames of all Time.
Can we also have Managers nicknames as well Robbie ? Like Big Sam, Mad Dog Martin Allen. Players Ian Charlie McParland Stubsy or Stubbins Brian Stubbs. Hughsey Lee Hughes, there should be more but my minds gone blank, that's me , not a Notts players nickname. The Don, Don Masson. Tommy Johno Johnson.

Stuart Maynard Reflects on Notts Countyβs Performance and Looks Ahead to Crewe Clash
Regarding those who ask the questions in these interviews I hope they aren't getting paid. The first guy seems Ok but the other two sound like they've just woken up!! Their questions are all the same only put differently, there's no questions about how Jatta's settling in, is SM considering him for a place on the bench ? How does he think his new striker will fit into the Notts set up? It's boring and mundane. The Lass who questioned Stuart Maynard in his first interview after being confirmed as the new Notts head coach sounded professional and asked the right questions.

Messi/ Inter Miami.
Football to the Yanks involves blokes in padded uniforms and helmets, and in the words of Jeremy Clarkson, a bit like Rugby which is played by Real Men.. Have you ever seen the Soccer (as they call it) chants the Yank supporters come out with? There's a comparison on you tube showing the difference between American Fans and English Fans. The most daring chant the Yanks have is I BELIEVE WE CAN WIN . I Kid You Not.
