What are the Reedtz doing right? No doubt, one of the best sets of owners we have had since Derek Pavis.

what is your favourite pass time?
i like reading up about emerging and changing technology, i also find it fascinating to go back to old programmes that spoke about the future and compare just how far things have come since then.

Two factors that Notts is unable to overcome are bad officials and biased coverage. I sometimes fear that BT Sports is a curse when it comes to Notts. No matter what Notts tried to do to get back on top, it never seemed likely to happen, and I always feel that Dagenham & Redbridge would score to win the game.
On 25/02/2023 at 23:14, TheSkipper said:While the referee's decisions on penalty calls may have been questionable.
The referee's decision on the Langstaff penalty wasn't in the least bit questionable. It was a blatant, obvious foul which any semi-competent referee would see as a definite penalty and definite red card under the laws of the game which the ref is paid to apply. I thought it at the time, but on watching the replays there is absolutely no doubt at all, the ref and his lino had an unobstructed view. I accept that we made a couple of defensive errors, I accept that we missed loads of chances, but I can't accept that the result of this game was decided more by incompetent officials than the 22 players on the pitch.
Both the assistant referee on the left and the referee failed to spot the obvious penalty on Langstaff. I completely concur that it was a missed call, but I chose not to intervene with any possible accusations of bribery towards the referee. My belief is that the officials displayed poor performance and most likely succumbed to the pressure of the cameras.

as long as i have supported notts, they have had good young keepers but nobody has ever been pushed enough to establish themselves as a regular. from what i have seen of tiernan brooks he looks have a bright future.
but what do you think about his chances to break into the notts squad next season?

So, I thought it would be interesting to see which players get named dropped within a discussion about "the best".
Name the following;
The best Notts County squad you have watched in person?
The best Notts County player you have ever watched in person?
The best Notts County legend you wished you had seen?
The best Notts County goalkeeper you have ever seen live? [bonus praise for naming a memory of said keeper within your answer].
The best Notts County defender in your lifetime?
The best skilled Notts County midfielder you have ever watched in person?
The best Notts County winger who would take on the opposition down the byline in person?
The best natural Notts County finisher?
The best player to be described as a true underdog during their spell at Notts?
The best worst player ever to grace a Notts County shirt?
The best goal from a Notts County player you have seen in person?
The best ex Notts County player you have seen in person?
The best future Notts County player you have seen in person?
There's a reason for the amount of questions; if you can name them all - great! ????????

I hope this is okay, but fans and members of PON wishing to leave a memorial message for Granny Pie. Members have already started to post them on her profile.
https://prideofnottingham.co.uk/profile/136-grannypie/
Its a sensitive subject and I wouldn't want to over step my mark.
As a younger fan joining PON, I wasn't sure what to expect. Reading a site can be different than joining in, but it wasn't the case here. Granny Pie was a funny, witty and caring women who would always make me feel welcome. @liampie would always tell what Granny would be getting up to, I think those walking sticks of hers should be memorialised. In fact, I think the Broken Wheelbarrow forum should be named in honour of her. The GrannyPie Room or something better!?!

I am delighted with the team's performance against Southend United. As the league leaders Notts comfortably collected all three points at Meadow Lane, outclassing the sixth-placed Shrimpers. Although Southend made some changes to their starting line-up, they could not stifle the creative play Notts shown. Macauley Langstaff scoring his 31st goal of the season is a pleasing moment, and John Bostock and Sam Austin worked well to find the back of the net. Southend had some early threats, but this Notts dominated most of the game.
One of the finest performances this season,
There has been a lot of talk about player performances but for me Connell Rawlinson and Sam Austin deserve huge praise, both have done well when played. Austin has been a perfect signing and Rawlinson has reclaimed his composure.
On his day, he's a very good defender who puts his body on the line without thought.
The performance being topped off with 4 goals, is only outshined by the clean sheet.
I don't think Sam Slocombe was all that troubled but clean sheets are to clean sheets.
Notts displayed a collective sense of responsibility for their performance, resulting in a commendable win and three points earned.
This attitude has been a hallmark of the team throughout the season, evident in every game, regardless of the players selected for the starting line-up. The 14 players who played on Tuesday stepped up to the challenge and delivered a strong performance. Their cohesive effort and commitment to the team's goals have been an integral part of Notts' success this season.
Two players who particularly stood out were Bostock and Jones, both demonstrating their ability and match fitness with impressive performances, playing the full 90 minutes. Despite Southend's off-field predicament, their fans displayed remarkable support on a school night, demonstrating an impressive sense of togetherness. The fans' unwavering support for their team was a testament to their dedication and loyalty to their club. Overall, the game showcased the strength of both teams, with Notts' collective effort and Southend's passionate support, resulting in an entertaining and memorable match.

Watching the Notts class of 2023 running rings around Barnet on t'interweb last night, I wouldn't help but wonder: how would the current team fare against previous Notts teams?
It's clearly head and shoulders above anything we've put out in the National League so far, and of course the laughable excuse for a team we got relegated with. Going back to League Two it's a bit harder to compare. I think we'd have given Kevin Nolan's play-off team a good run for its money at least, but back then we were quite reliant on Grant's set pieces, whereas now about half the team are a goal threat. Apart from the two loanees, I'm not sure how many of that team would get into the side now. I'm tempted to think that today's side is the best we've had since the League One days.
Thoughts?

So, it's been rumoured for a while after leaks of trials in South America. Netflix has decided to update its account/password sharing policy, including new and bizarre measures to limit content to a single internet location.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-64573517
Personally, I think where people predicted online streaming would defeat broadcast TV. I think we're coming to an era where there will be a major downfall, mostly because of all these companies that are trying to take over the world through their own single service. I mean, password sharing is something Netflix has ignored for years, but I think they're shooting themselves in the foot by introducing a strict policy.
Do I agree with account sharing?
Do you use Netflix? If not, why did you stop, and what do you think about all this?
I personally think if it's within a household or family that otherwise might not get Netflix I see no harm. If it's being done simply to avoid paying for the service, that is where the fault lies.
For example: I don't think Netflix should limit mobile usage.
See Virgin Media allows up to 5 smart devices to use it's 'On demand' app, Virgin TV Go [some accounts may only have 3 devices I believe].
You register a device that is added to their system - you can use any internet.
Whereas Netflix's approach to nail down a single home IP is quite extreme - especially when that limits the actual household. Virgin Media does check for sharing, and they do it in a very logical way, which prevents the issue Netflix faces.
However, online streaming services charge a premium for users to avoid ads, and now that they can limit where you can use it is a big problem. It's only a matter of time before either Netflix bails on this new policy due to losing subscribers, or it makes its way into other streaming services such as Prime Video, Hulu, Disney + etc,
This has zero effect on me; I haven't subscribed to Netflix for years. I stopped using them due to pulling seasonal films off at the time you'd most likely expect to watch them. I couldn't also justify the price increase.
The issue with online streaming services is that everyone wants a slice of the pie, which waters down the appeal and creates further limitations. Meanwhile, most things which are said to be 'exclusive' are shown on normal broadcasts. I can honestly see so many major changes when one falls. ITV and traditional TV stations are adapting to a threat that is as empty as The Nottingham Post being banned from Meadow Lane by Ray Trew.

I think the pitch played a part as to why we were not up to our usual standard, players seemed to be not going for it as to avoid getting injured
I won't take credit away from Bromley; they did far better in the first half. Notts just took longer to get into the match, but by the second half, we had chances. I don't think it's really fair to blame the pitch outright. The game could have been ours if we had taken some of the chances we created. The biggest plus for me is Tiernan Brooks, who looked ready to play. He had a shaky first 25 minutes, but was solid after that.
It would be unwise to underestimate Bromley, and I'm afraid to say that the writing was on the wall even before the game began. In my opinion, the keeper situation wouldn't have changed the outcome of the match. The first penalty was a careless mistake by from a Notts prospect, and although the game was entertaining, it was frustrating for Notts fans at the game as nothing seemed to click, and many opportunities could have been executed better.
A fair point, but lucky at the same time for Notts.
