I was wondering if anyone would be up for posting about their exercise and weight loss?

I am lifting my exercise as I want to get down a few more pounds. I'm doing alright, but I want to try to encourage more positive loses. I will be going back to mostly drinking water for the most periods, except orange and lemonade for when I eat. I have already been on a sort of weight loss journey, but life got in the way of me taking it as seriously as I should.

Would anyone be interested in doing me on here, discussing and updating their health progress? It doesn't need to be about weight; it could just be running and being active.

So we're back to business as usual - if you fancy a go, send in your predictions by 3pm on Saturday, and don't forget your joker! And it might be a good idea to keep an eye on possible postponements before posting...

Norwich City v Preston North End

Rotherham United v Swansea City

Exeter City v Port Vale

Here we are again, another weekend is upon us.

Curry night tonight and Mrs. T will be serving up a delightful lamb and apricot curry which I am very much looking forward to, I’ll wash it down with a pint of Old Speckled Hen and I’ll be in heaven. 
 

Tomorrow is match day so I’ll be there with George my grandson cheering on the Pies and hoping for a win. I was hoping to do a park run but the course is flooded so that’s out.

Not sure about Sunday yet, probably just a day of rest.

Whats everyone else’s plans?

Today, we’re taking a moment to remember and celebrate the life and legacy of the greatest manager in our club’s history, Jimmy Sirrel. His leadership took us from the Fourth Division to the First, a feat that will forever be etched in our hearts and in the annals of Notts County.

Though it’s been years since his departure, and more since his passing, his memory continues to inspire us. We know that many of you have personal stories, encounters, and memories of Jimmy that you hold dear. Today, we invite you to share those stories with us.

Did you ever meet Jimmy in person? Do you remember a particular match that stood out during his time? Maybe you have a favourite quote from him that still resonates with you? Or perhaps there’s a story passed down in your family about Jimmy’s time at Notts County?

Whatever your memory or story, we’d love to hear it. Let’s come together as a community to remember and celebrate Jimmy Sirrel, a true legend of Notts County.

Looking forward to reading your stories!

I watched the FA Cup highlights and noticed that Enzio is now plying his trade at Eastleigh. They beat League 1 Reading in the 2nd round and Enzio had a hand in both goals, looked like he had a good game.

On Saturday Notts take on Walsall at Meadow Lane, how many links between the two clubs can we find?

Brett Angel came to us on loan I remember him scoring a hattrick on his debut but his stay was short lived he only made 6 appearances, he had a brief spell at Preston N.E. Before moving to Walsall making 61 appearances and scoring 16 goals.

How many more links can we find?

What’s everyone got planned for the weekend? Who’s heading to the lane tonight? Who’s Christmas Shopping? Who’s seeing family? What are your plans, let us know.

I’m coming to the end of our week in snowy Whitby, tonight we are heading out for a curry it’ll make a change for Mrs. T she usually cooks curry on Friday when we are at home. Tomorrow we are travelling home, we have to go over the moors on a road which has been closed this week because of snow, I hope it’s clear tomorrow otherwise we’ll be extending our stay.

It’s not all been snow here’s a few pics.

The last pic isn’t mine but one someone posted on the local facebook group.

One of my all time favourites, I loved listening to The Pogues in my misspent youth.

Look away now

An interesting game to watch last night.

When we have discussions on Notts defenders, the real difference is that Barcelona have defenders that are more comfortable on the ball and can see simple and execute forward passes much quicker than Notts defenders. 

What does everyone want, more football of course! It's been a full on week for Notts this week and it's time to finish it off in the FA Cup against L1 opposition, Shrewsbury Town.

They currently sit in 12th place. It sounds pretty decent but when you dig a bit deeper you wonder how they've managed it. They've only scored 12 goals (in 20 games!) and they haven't won an away game since August! I'm guessing their injury crisis has impacted their season as they’ve currently got 11 first team players out injured. Whilst it’s obviously awful for them, it’s pretty good for us.

Here are some comments from SalopCast about their game on Tuesday against Exeter…

A lot of effort but a lack of quality. Salop can’t keep the ball and end up sitting deep. Passing accuracy in the 50’s again…

Trying to figure out our game plan is puzzling me. We seem to be bypassing our midfield and trying to win free kicks and corners. Our wing backs and midfielders are never on the ball. Our strikers never win the ball or keep it for more than 5 seconds.

Salop actually have possession, ball to Udoh who is near the box and Udoh just shoots at a defender in front of him. No thought about passing. No runners. Nothing. We are so bad. So so f****** s***. What the actual f*** is Taylor doing with this team in the week?

Salop come home with a point. A real slugfest against a poor Exeter side. Positives: clean sheet and a point on the road Negatives: many.

Are they confident?

Notts County are going to destroy us on Friday.

Not much time off for either team but I think we’ll be in better health. I guess Stone will be back in goal, and I’d expect one of Rawlo or Brinds back in just for the sake of being fresh. Maybe even Gosling will start and I hope Morias starts as well. Anyway, chance to get a dream 3rd round draw if we win so I’m looking forward to it!

I never did rate Schofield in our relegation season.
