The news that Kyle Cameron had been loaned out to St Johnstone of the Scottish Premier League came as a bit of a shock to me.

Of course, Kyle will have to fight for a place, & prove himself worthy of a place in the St Johnstone team.

But what an opportunity for Kyle to be part of a team that will be mixing with the big boys such as Celtic, Rangers, Aberdeen & Dundee United.

Celtic & Rangers will be mixing with the big boys of Europe too, so on paper it looks to be a dream move for Kyle and I wish him well.

Kyle moving on loan to a higher standard of football does raise a question from me.

If Kyle wasn't deemed good enough to fight for his place in a league 2 team in England, how does it work that he is let go to play for a team in a higher standard league?

For me it's surprising because if Cameron had been able to play in a Notts side with better standard defenders as it appears this season, wouldn't Kyle have been able to fit comfortably into that defensive unit too?

I think he could easily have done, and I think it is a big loss to Notts, his going up north this season. I think it was a strange decision by Notts to let him go.

Another potential outgoing? This time it's Kyle Cameron heading north of the border...

The luck of the draw has come out in England's favour. England have been given a very favourable last 16 match against Slovakia who are ranked 45th in the FIFA rankings.

In the quarter finals, England could play either Switzerland or Italy, who meet in a last 16 match 

Their semi-final opponents will then come from the eventual winners of Romania vs Netherlands and Austria vs Turkey, so any one of those four teams.

With Italy not firing on all cylinders, England will never have a better opportunity to get to the final, where they could play either, Germany, Spain, Portugal or France who are all in the other half of the draw.

So PON members, can they do it?

It’s Friday again, how are we all?

I’m feeling pretty good after a night catching up with an old friend over a pint last night, sadly he’s a Forest fan but apart from that he’s an ok guy.

Tomorrow it’s park run day, it’ll be number 101 for me so I’ll be able to wear my new running shirt.

Sunday well we know what’s happening then don’t we? I’ll probably be watching at home with a pint I’m not into large crowds or busy pubs, Mrs. T enjoys watching too so we’ll both enjoy the match.

How’s your weekend shaping up? Or anything else you want to chat about or get off your chest.

New home kit released, I really like the black base as opposed to the white from last season. what do we all think of it?

Who remembers him? What a waste of money.

Are you ready for the 2nd Semifinal of Euro 24 tonight when England meet Netherlands at 8pm tonight?

Both teams haven't been at their absolute best yet and will both have to up their game considerably if one of them is fortunate to get through to the final to meet Spain 

I don't expect many changes from Gareth Southgate tonight. Gareth isn't a Manager who likes to take bold decisions, and I expect him to stick with the team that he clearly trusts to get England to the final.

Netherlands have some players that can produce a moment of quality, so the England defence will have to be on its guard at all times.

Don't be surprised if this match goes to extra time and we finish up with penalties again. I'm not going to predict a score, I just hope England win 

and I thought @Dry Nelson Rayran a professional outfit????????

Good morning everyone, I hope you are all well, it’s the weekend again, so what are you all up to this weekend?

Today I’ll be resting after staying up half the night to watch the election results. I must say I’m happy with the result but let’s not make this a political topic.

Tomorrow I’m hoping to do a park run but I’ll see how I feel later on, plus I’ll obviously I’ll be watching the England match.

Sunday we’ll be visiting our son and family for a meal, he has a new outdoor cooking station so hopefully the weather will hold.

Let us know what your up to this weekend or anything else you want to chat about.
