So @Piethagoram tweeted central news about the new manager arriving and lo and behold they read his tweet out. Well done dude the tweet is below for all to see .. would you agree with his tweet ..

Good morning it’s Friday at last, I remember when I used to long for Fridays, the start of the weekend, now it’s just another day since retirement, mind you having said that I do like Fridays now as we always have a home made curry. Except today we aren’t because we have a big day tomorrow and we don’t want to smell of curry. More of that tomorrow.

Grandson George went to scouts for the first time last night and really enjoyed it, apparently they boiled water on a fire and played dodge ball, next week they are throwing axes! Sounds like a health and safety nightmare.  I think scouts will be good for him, he’s a bit of a loner and doesn’t mix with other kids very well, hopefully scouts will bring him out a bit.

Right, as soon as all the kids are safely in school I’m off for a run, I pass two schools and it can get a bit busy so I wait till they’re all inside.

Have a good day whatever you are up to.

Come on you Kopites you know it makes sense,

So the new man is in charge things seems to be returning to normal structure gaffer in place etc so on Saturday we travel to Exeter in a must win league tie.

I thought it may be good to hear your thoughts and opinions about the game on Saturday. for example do you think the new gaffer will have enough time to put measures in place and get the lads thinking positively. Can harry make a impact.?

So Fifa 19 is only a few weeks away who’s gunner take on notts in the infamous career mode.?

what changes you going to make any player you want to sign.? 

Good morning PoN, it’s a cloudy start and cooler here. I hope everyone is ok especially the gaffer @Chris.

I’ve got more computer work to do today so I will probably be popping on here fron time to time. There’s not much else happening here, what’s going on in your life, let PoN know.

Most of all have a great day.

Do you believe in Aliens?

There has to be more life outside of earth right? We cannot be the only living planet in the universe. A popular theory I have seen around the internet is that we live inside a simulated environment like you can see in the Matrix films. If this is true, where would this leave the belief of aliens existing? Are we the aliens living on this planet?

I thought this would be a fun and interesting discussion, nothing to take too seriously but have your say anyway.

Guys can you help me welcome our new member @Phil4nic to Pon.

Saturday's Fixtures: 

Preston North End v Bolton Wanderers

West Bromwich Albion v Stoke City

Portsmouth v Plymouth Argyle

Wycombe Wanderers v Luton Town

Exeter City v Lincoln City

Stevenage v Cambridge United

On the back of the shark attack discussion I have posted, I wonder how many PON members have seen a shark alive with their own eyes?

I have seen several types of sharks out at sea, including Great Whites, Hammerheads and Bull sharks. It's scary to think how dangerous these sea creatures can be, most don't look friendly either.

This amazing tale has been resolved now with some interesting facts, the idea of a baby being abandoned in such a manner seems cruel but at least this has a somewhat happy ending. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/a-baby-was-abandoned-in-a-phone-booth-64-years-ago-now-dna-has-helped-explain-why/ar-BBMaoD8?ocid=spartanntp

What's the tallest and smallest animal you have seen with your own eyes?

Tallest:

I think this could be an interesting sub topic, as it will see how much exploring some fans have done.

Good morning all, I'm a bit late starting this thread today but I know you are all itching to hear what I am up to today aren't you? No? Oh well, I'll tell you anyway.

I've already been on a run, I was going to run down the canal but the fair is in town with the accompanying travellers, my normal canal run is very lonely and last time the fair was in town a runner got mugged on the canal which is close to the travellers encampment, I don't know whether the two are connected but I don't want to risk it to be honest. So I did a pavement run which takes me in an entirely different direction, I managed to do nearly 6 kilometres in 36 minutes, not my fastest pace but it is quite hilly so I'm pretty pleased with the time.

After having a rest and shower I am now settling down to do some computer work, then hopefully this afternoon I can go for a walk with Mrs. BigTone and then relax a bit.

What has everyone else got planned for today?

https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2018/august/kewell-appointed-manager/

Manager: Harry Kewell

Assistant: Warren Feeney

With Darren Fletcher standing down from the board.

Rob Milsom returns from Crawley Town on an initial loan deal.

 https://www.nottscountyfc.co.uk/news/2018/august/milsom-signs/

Personally I think this is poor and I am not a fan of this move one bit. Rob is a cracking player and guy but he only left in May and now hes back. Something not right here.

Inspired by @Fan of Big Tone Daily Chat Thread I thought I would ask the PON Community simply, Indian or Chinese? Also what is your order when having one?

Good morning PoN, we have an early wake up today as we’ve got the grandchildren coming any minute. They are off school on an inset day and we are taking them to a theme park called Twin Lakes in Leicestershire, it’s a treat for George’s birthday as he was 10 on Sunday.

I won’t be around much today so I hope everyone has a great day, I’ll pop on here tonight while I’m listening to the match on the radio.

Dont forget to tell us what you’re up to today.

So next up County take on Grimsby away in the checkatrade trophy will you be going.? 

Considering rejoining twitter as it seems the best social media to keep up to date with football, notts etc. But not always been a fan, wondering if it's worth signing back up to join the social media to connect? Is it worth re joining anyone else on twitter? 

So tonight we travel to Grimsby for the checkatrade trophy.

so I thought I would ask you lovely people of Pon for your score predictions and goal scorers.?

So i was watching master chef last night and I've had a thought (are there dark horses in this group) any one who can cook like a pro make us drool . any takers guys and girls 

Good morning PoN, it’s a patchy cloudy start here today, the temperature is a bit lower this morning.

Not much happening here, we are off to Lidl this morning to stock up then if the weather stays fine I’ll do some more gardening, I’ve let it get into a bit of a state lately so it’s going to need doing a bit at a time as I get exhausted if I do too much.

Anyone doing anything exciting? Let us know.

I said to @Magic magpie how bad the decision was, you could forgive the foul as a 50/50 challenge and give both players a yellow card. I know some will respond that Dan Jones went in with two feet but their player ran into him for heaven's sack, he also made the first contact and then made an absolute meal of the incident.

Honestly, if he doesn't win an Oscar or some sort of diving award I will be surprised because he's at fault too. I feel the sending off is really harsh, you can clearly see Jones has his hands in the air in the picture below.
