Notts have posted footage of Matt Tootle scoring an absolute worldie in training... followed up by a slip which would really warrant a trombone sound effect

I don't expect anyone to go into the financial details of this hearing. It would be very unprofessional to do so. But I think we should at least be told which way it went. 

I'd love to learn more personal accounts of this, already on social media we have had a flurry of responses but I actually know very little about the background story. Nonetheless I thought I would share this and see what the PON members have to say about it! Please do share your thoughts, memories etc.

So, what do you remember? Did you attend? Have you ever won anything on Lifeline? COYP

Please take a moment to wish Notts VBlogger and PON writer @ARLukomski many happy returns!

Happy Birthday matey! 

We lost 3-0 to Coventry City but who will be the second team to defeat the magpies on our run up of fixtures coming up? 8 games unbeaten currently and i personally think Exeter will end it on Tuesday, very difficult team to beat by the looks of it and think that match will be a real statement for Notts's season.Thoughts?

Labour has made an interesting suggestion - to ban betting companies from shirt sponsorship deals as part of a drive against a "hidden epidemic" of addiction.

What do you think about this? And please let's not get party political, but just focus on the proposal. Should something be done about the massive amount of gambling advertising in football? Or would this be another instance of the nanny state in action?

I'm broadly in favour. IMO gambling and football have been linked for as long as I can remember, but it's never been as omnipresent as it is today. And the ubiquity of adverts offering free bets is potentially drawing in a new generation of problem gamblers. And if tobacco companies are banned from advertising, why not Ladbrokes and co?

On the other hand, gambling isn't the only harmful thing out there. Where do you draw the line? McDonalds and Coca-Cola spend a lot on football sponsorship but are hardly healthy. What about them?

Discuss!

The other Friday when England played Melta, I heard a lot of interesting thoughts regarding the current national team - including views on Gareth Southgate.

It seems like there's a large amount of national fans who don't believe in the current crop of players.

I myself have lost interest in watching them, I used to watch all the friendlies religiously but for me these days I just don't expect to be entertained. It's not that I don't believe, it's more a lack of interest. Yet I have become that disillusioned with the current setup, team and choice of managers that I can see how badly it's ruined the English game.

I recall rushing home as a school boy back in 96', eagerly excited to watch the likes of David Seaman, Alan Shearer, Paul Gascoigne, David Platt, Steve McManaman etc.

These days I don't have the same level of interest, and it's a shame to some degree.

Listening to the 'Three Lions' song it makes me remember how fun it was to watch England, yet at as a nation we don't seem to have the same level of passion. It's almost like being a Notts fan - 'Rooney's crap, he should retire' - it's becoming very negative. This adds to my frustration, as a fan I always remain optimistic about our chances of national glory.

Though it would help if we had a strong team that restored a level of faith.

How do you feel about the current national team? Do you feel we English fans believe? I'd love to see peoples opinions.

Festival season is sadly over... have any of yous been to one this year? Or if you used to go in the past, what ones do you remember fondly (if you can remember anything that is... I know I struggle sometimes haha)

I just stumbled upon this classic radio commentary after watching this weeks Meet the Fans.

It sounds like a great game sadly out shadowed by silly fans. What I would do to see Notts in the top flight again though!

Game 6 - The Shrimps (H)

Team: Morecambe

Date: 09/09/17

Where: Meadow Lane

What line-up should Kevin Nolan opt for? What will be the key areas for the Magpies to get a victory? What do you think the final score will be?

Have your say below, join in with the Pride of Nottingham match discussion.

Based on a Mean of 5

Collin 6.5  Well protected by the defence. One save from a free header straight at him in the first half. Showing signs of confidence through greater command of his area. Still missed one opportunity to release quickly

Hunt 6.5 Experience gave him ample control. Comfortable afternoon

Jones 8 MOTM. What a turnaround  in his fortunes. Good free kick and a good "engine" on him

Duffy 6 Solid, for more see below

Brisley 6 Distribution slips occasionally into the Hollis category. Good partnership with Duffy, but allowed 1 corner in the first half to allude both of them

Hawkridge 6 Puts in another good shift but didnt hit the heights of his Accrington performance. Defensively, combined well with Hunt

Hewitt 6 Energy to close down space in abundance. Rose, the key Morecambe play maker, was having to drop further and further back. Still unsure about his offensive distribution.

Yates 7  Man up, solid, Bishop like steel exhibited 

Grant 6.5 Drifts in and out but when in possession, guaranteed some accurate and crisp passing. Perhaps needs to play a #10 role. Disappointing free kick when one now expected him to hit the target

Ameobi 6  Work rate good and should have scored with a header in the first half.

Stead 5.5 Chances created and wasted with complete inability to get close to hitting the target. Needed some confidence.

Subs

Forte 7 Ability to put defenders under pressure, and helped himself set up his neatly taken goal

Milsom 6.5 Would like to see him start

Alessandro 5 Not on long enough to make an impact.

Banks of 4 and 4 , limited Morecambe's ability to build attacks. They were set up for their own set plays, as were  Notts in a way. Morecambe's open play not a patch on Accrington but Notts defensive strategy really worked well. Limiting their space to play. The big difference now, is our experienced pro's that allows us not to get bullied.

From BBC Sport:

Premier League clubs have voted to close next summer's transfer window before the 2018-19 season starts.

Managers have complained that signing players once the season is under way causes disruption to their squads and preparations.

From next season, the window will close at 17:00 BST on the Thursday before the Premier League campaign begins.

The vote was not unanimous and clubs will still be able to sell players until the end of the normal window.

Fourteen Premier League clubs voted in favour of the amendment, which was the minimum total needed for the plans to be approved. Manchester United, Manchester City, Watford, Swansea and Crystal Palace voted against the proposal while Burnley abstained.

The window across Europe runs until 31 August. The Premier League's move means while clubs will be able to sell until that date, buying activity will cease on 9 August for the 2018-19 season.

European leagues will still be able to buy and sell until 31 August, while the Football League's window also remains unaltered.

Football League bosses have indicated they could follow the Premier League's move but require further dialogue with stakeholders before a decision is made.

The last bit is crucial - with the PL having blazed the trail with this decision, does it mean that the EFL also adopting it is imminent? Or could they say "nope, we want it to carry on until 11pm on August 31?"

Share your thoughts - both in terms of the standalone decision by the PL and what it could mean for the EFL.
