Swansea already 3 :0 down 

... 16 minutes gone... LW tearing his hair out!!!!! 

I know 'coz I was there!

Memory Lane time. Back to 1991 and extended highlights of Notts v Brighton at an old Wembley Stadium.  A young Neil Warnock leading his side out. Two goals by Tommy Johnson and one from Dave Regis won the day for Notts. Enjoy.

I’ve just had half an hour on our cross trainer it beeps when the half hour is up not that I needed it as I’m watching the minutes tick down as I exercise willing it to go faster.  The only thing that got me through was listening to my Rolling Stones playlist. I’m shattered now so a quick shower and a cup of coffee to revive me.
 

Anyone else keeping fit?

A bit of Notts County nostalgia from 48 years ago. Fulham v Notts  Nov 1976.. see if you can pick out some of our greats in action.

Hello, I’ve joined Pride of Nottingham to concentrate on content and I’m keen to get to know the community better.

I’ve been a Notts supporter my whole life, born in 1993. My real name’s Gavin, but you can call me Gav or True Magpie, whichever you prefer. I went to my first game in 1996, when I was just three.

As for PON, I’ve been a long-time reader and active on social media. I was asked yesterday to consider this role, as it’s similar to my job, and I happily agreed.

Gav, True Magpie.

The last I recall off the top of my head, is Haydn Mullns temporarily being interim manager of Watford. I think he also had some involvement with West Ham as a coach after, but his wiki doesn't clarify that. He was indeed head coach of Colchester United under Steve Ball. Who knew? I didn't.

Also, he seems to have managed "Turks and Caicos Islands", I don't recall hearing of them before.

UD Almería seems to have fallen victim to some very suspicious decisions.

Brilliant opening goal by Almeria, it's the perfect start they could have asked for. The 2nd goal was a stunner! Now, to analyse the goal. The keeper played a very good long ball up the field, without the Almería player moving into the space it would have been wasted.

You see the Almería and Real Madrid players briefly clash.

Nothing in it, however, the reason I feel this needs to be pointed out is for a later decision which baffles me. As this could have easily been given a free kick in the defenders favour. Not that I would agree, but I have seen it happen in multiple leagues where the defender is offered the protection.

The penalty for Real Madrid was spot on. It could be considered harsh, but you can't keep your arms out like that when defending a corner.

Almería scored after a very quick break. Bellingham is caught naturally further in the Almería half, but the goal ends up being disallowed. Real Madrid then go on again to score, however, it's obvious that it comes off the arm of Vinícius Jr.

Decision goal stands?!?!

Belling's second goal was offside miles before it happened, why so slow to call it?

A Real Madrid player then clatters an Almería defender, similar to the build up leading to their goal that was disallowed. However, this was a foul and deserved to be issued a yellow card.

In the 98th minute, Real Madrid scored their third of the game and won.

Sensational game? I am sceptical of the decisions as they seem to heavily favour Real Madrid.
