    I have no interest or time for cricket; it’s just that I have never really gotten into it. I find it quite prolonged and dull, even when the England cricket team is good, I don’t pay attention. It’s just one of those sports I find difficult to invest in. I would rather watch baseball, which says a lot. I understand why others may enjoy it, but personally, I have never been around the sport and when I have been, it doesn’t retain my attention.

    It’s brilliant news that the skipper has signed on; I was getting concerned that I might have to go back to Neal Bishop or find a different user image. Not that Bish is a bad thing; he’s still my favourite captain, but out of support, I changed to Kyle. He’s a good player; he just needs to learn not to be caught out.

    Hello, Tony. I noticed that you had added Twitter to your profile. Just to let you know, I have corrected it for you. You just need the @ or username to be added. :) 

    It's my pleasure to help.

      @TheSkipper thanks for that.  :goodjob:

    I don’t know; Stevenage is okay, but there’s not much to the player that I know, so it’s hard to form an opinion. Besides, he’s signed a new deal for them now.

    The CEO role is very important; I would imagine the Reedtz have spoken to a few names already but have wanted to give grieving time with the loss of Jason Turner. I would be surprised if we don’t hear of news within a few weeks, what with things starting to progress.

    It does feel like a dream; then again, the past two ownerships felt like a nightmare. It’s been a good 4 years; we have turned things around and it’s down to all the hard work people have put in from the players to the staff and coaches. Even the fans deserve credit because we didn’t allow the club to do it alone.

    Hello, @rhodship66. Welcome to the club and the Pride of Nottingham. By club, I mean this crazy gang. ????

    There are some fantastic times supporting Notts, even the dark times make us thankful for the club we have. Tony’s story is interesting and serves as a reminder of how diverse our fan base is in terms of the memories we all have and what encourages us to move forward. This is brilliant, thanks Tony! Will it be another Tony next time, gaffer?

    I hope he doesn’t swap his shirt at the end of the game, just pinch one of the England players when they’re changing. It would be a great souvenir for Jodi.

    @Chris, make sure Super doesn’t go overboard with this offer. ???? There must be a few things he likes there. I hope you don’t live near a Morrisons. ????

    I read all the articles and know how important they play in any site. I think Chris does a great job making sure they are done. It’s not as easy as people would think. I write and enjoy it as a living, but I do have days where I would rather do something else. I post as a rule 3-5 posts per day, sometimes more and very rarely less. As for my notifications, I tend to only check them when I expect something good. At the moment, since so many are coming through, I am checking daily, but it’s people replying or quoting me that I want to see. P.S. I tend to open 3 to 4 pages, then interact with the comments by giving likes and reactions. Then I reply one by one to each of the loaded content. I re-read and might make changes. Once I am happy, I will post them one by one.

    Dean Leacock doesn’t have candles on his cakes; he never has. He’s always been afraid of catching his hair on fire. In all seriousness, I liked him, but he did have some of the most annoying habits you wouldn’t expect in a footballer.

    Stability, if we do well this season, so be it. Provided we are heading in the right direction and trying to push for promotion, I think it will only be a good thing. There’s more chance of getting out of this league, but we need to be League One ready. Just as easy as it is to go up, four teams come straight back down and until the club is good enough to be in the Championship. We will be a team that has to avoid the relegation zone in whatever league we are. Once we get out of League Two and into the next league higher, then we focus on avoiding that drop, becoming a good team and keep going.
  14. TheSkipper
    My takeaway from this is to give players all of your support, even in difficult times because they will pay off. Jim O’Brien has been a good servant to the club; he has everything you would want in a player. Having him in the dressing room, on the pitch, using his approach to help those around him is a great gift that he has. Just look at how he speaks about the players around him.
  15. TheSkipper
    What a quote this is: ‘I’ve learned through my career and life that money doesn’t bring happiness. I truly believe that you have to find that happiness inside yourself.’ This reinforces his comments about having the desire to impact the team in a positive way. We know he has the ability, and while I don’t expect him or Macaulay Langstaff to repeat their goal tallies from last season, I believe both of them will score at least in the high upper digits. How wrong was I to doubt this move in the first place while it was still in the rumour stage.
  16. TheSkipper
    I expected Ruben to leave; nobody can be faulted for wishing differently, but I hope no fans take to abusing him for leaving like we have seen with others. Kyle Wootton had some silly comments expressed his way when he left for Stockport County. We just need Kyle Cameron to sign now. Yet back to Ruben, he has done magnificently for Notts and we can’t be selfish and ask him to give us any longer when he’s contributed so much already to the club.
  17. TheSkipper
    I am delighted and over the moon to see Jim has signed; I think he deserves it and for most of last season, he was a true warrior on the pitch. I can only recall one game where he wasn’t at his best; even during his time at Notts, I have seen few, so it’s great news.
  18. TheSkipper
    @CliftonMagpie, what kind of clues do you refer to this as? It could suit so many players. You’ve started this one off by being difficult for the sake of it.
  19. TheSkipper
    I think Jim O’Brien is a superb veteran of the game. I know he mentioned that he dislikes the word ‘experienced’ because some fans use it as a throwaway comment. Yet, I don’t mean it in those terms. He’s a calm, focused midfielder who wants to defend and get forward. What he lacks in advanced years, he makes up for with the knowledge he’s picked up. His football mind is always switched on, and it’s incredible to see him think ahead of much younger players. To have him remain as a firm squad player is just a good boost to the squad. With Ruben Rodrigues departing, it’s good to have someone like Jim who can crack a joke or offer support to the surrounding players.
  20. TheSkipper
    I expected him to go off-topic and start mentioning what type of tattoos David has on his arms and body, along with the weather like he does when covering games. It’s an interesting story, one which says a lot about McGoldrick.
  21. TheSkipper
    I feel even sorrier for Bury. No team should have to put up with Carl Dickinson as their left-back. My nan has more skill and pace than he does.
  22. TheSkipper
    That picture is worth a photo frame. It's nice to see Macca dressing his part and looking snazzy for the awards. He certainly deserves it.
  23. TheSkipper
    I’m shaking my head and saying do we really need him? If David McGoldrick is to play in midfield and Jim O’Brien signs, we already have fairly aged options there. We need hunger and pace in midfield, likewise within the defence. Do you think he will add anything that we don’t have already?
  24. TheSkipper
    I did nothing of any interest, I just enjoyed the sunshine and the nicest day we’ve had for ages. Tomorrow, I think I will be more proactive. I’ll come back and update this, you have to enjoy the sunshine at times like this. Don’t you agree?
  25. TheSkipper
    I was wrong about this deal. David McGoldrick’s interview made me see that he is not coming back to Notts for a sentimental reason. He genuinely wants to help the club and he still has a lot of passion and quality to offer. He is not afraid of the challenge and he can inspire the rest of the team with his experience and skill. I apologise for being too harsh and cynical. I hope McGoldrick proves me wrong and shows everyone what he can do at Notts. I hope he enjoys his return and makes us proud. He deserves our respect and support, not our doubt and criticism. Welcome home, David McGoldrick!
