  2. Morning all, a busy weekend for us as we have our eldest grandchildren all weekend.

    No match for me unfortunately so if your going give them a YOUPIES from me.

    we are off for a bike ride with the kids and then fishing.

  3. Morning all (well only just), I'm a bit late today.

     

    Mrs. H. has gone to a Macmillan Cancer Coffee and Cake morning, I was tempted by the mention of cake but decided it would just be a lot of women gossiping so gave it a miss.

     

    I've been having another busy day on the computer, the trouble with having holidays is that there is loads of work to do when I get back.

     

    Tonight we have been invited to a friends house for curry. Mmmmm, looking forward to the meal and catching up.

     

    So what are you all up to today?

  4. What questions would you like to be asked in tomorrow's Meet the Fans?

     

    Let me know, and we can see if we can get them in the video for you

    Hope you enjoy

  6. Has left the club and signed for Partick Thistle.


     


    Shame, I thought he would still have a part to play. Good luck Mustapha.


  7. Morning all, its a lovely bright sunny morning here but it started quite chilly, I suppose we ought to expect that in September. I noticed the leaves are starting to fall from the trees, we did still see a few swallows knocking about on the Isle of Wight when we were there recently so at least they haven't given up on summer just yet!

     

    Today is another computer day, I've got lots of work to do and in between I'll have the odd break and get on here.

     

    Tonight we are going to our SOBS meeting, there are always new folk who have recently been bereaved by suicide who turn up looking for support so having been there we try to help as best we can. It will be four years in February since our son died and it's still very painful life will never be the same just different but hopefully we can offer support to others.

     

    On that cheery note, what have others got planned for today, work, school, uni, shopping, housework, let us know, lets get some chit chat going.

  8. Ryan mendes has just scored the rovers....is he the son of chi chi mendes who turned out a few times for us in the 80s ?.....the only pro footballer i have ever seen play with a strapped up knee...

  9. Creepy Crawley dropped down with us last season. Their 2-0 win over us in April put a nail in our coffin, not the final nail, but a nail nonetheless. 

     

    We have played them 3 times at the Lane. We have won 2 and drawn the other. 

     

    Crawley have had a poor start to this season. They have picked up 6 points in 7 games and are 1 place above the the drop zone. Strangely enough their 6 points have come from games against sides expected to challenge for promotion. 1 win and 3 draws. Crawley haven't scored in their last 3 games. Their top scorer Gwion Edwards is suspended. Roarie Deacon could be a threat. Other than that, I'm struggling to name a player who could cause us problems. Luke Rooney maybe? 

     

    Crawley are going through a rough period, we won't get them at a better time. I'd be shocked if we didn't win. I'm going for 4-1 to Notts. Izzy (2), Noble and Burke. 

  10. During last nights game McLeod was upended in the penalty area and the ref quite rightly pointed to the spot. Noble immediately grabbed the ball and marched towards the spot but McLeod wanted to take it from him, after a bit of argy bargy Noble scored a good penalty so all ended well and McLeod high fived him BUT wouldn't it be better if we had a designated penalty taker? At least then everyone would know who was taking it and we wouldn't have these embarrassing scenes.

  11. Colin Slater reported after the match last night that ex player Kevin Randall had been at the match on a scouting mission and had collapsed and was taken to hospital, his wife was with him and his son was called to his bedside it sounded serious, does anyone know or heard how he his? I hope he's ok.

  12. I'm sure you said you were interested in Zombies. This sounds like a blast @[member="notts-joe"]

    I think the prison or the old steel works would be a great laugh!

     

  13. From what I heard on the commentary and have read since Mike had a really good game when he came on, won everything in the air and scored a good goal as well, in his post match interview Moniz said he had told Edwards to make sure he was fit, do you think he could be in contention for a start in the first team?

  14. Liam Noble has expressed his intention for Notts County's home ground to become a fortress.
     
    He said: "We need to make people hate coming to Meadow Lane.
     
    "Teams come here and rightfully think, 'this is a brilliant stadium' and they want to come and play football. But in reality what we want them to do is go, 'it's gonna be a hard game'."
     
    Following the Magpies' 3-2 win over Luton Town, is this going to be possible? How can we go about ensuring that ML can become a horrible place for people to visit, and how long would it take for everything to click?
  15. Good morning it looks lovely out there so let's hope the good weather continues.

    Things look much better after the match last night, it's amazing how a football match can affect your mood.

    I've got more catching up to do on the computer today, a few emails to send etc. so I'll probably be indoors all day but if I get chance there's some gardening to do.

    Have a good day everyone.

  16. Morning all, my holiday ramblings have finished so the daily thread is back :clapping: I'm sure you are all excited about that. :rollseyes:

    Today is a day of catching up for me, emptying the van, sorting the washing, catching up on emails, snail mail etc. and of course most important ITS MATCHDAY :clapping: so later I will be popping down the lane to see the rampant magpies demolish Creepy Crawley (or not) :biggrin:

    What has the day got in store for you? Let us know.

  17. With the absolute horror show that I and 500 other fans went to watch on Saturday, I wonder if there will be any real change in the starting 11 in tonight's match against Crawley.

    For me it would be:

    Loach

    Amevor (is hewitt fit?), Sprockel, Audel, Swerts

    Aborah, Thompson

    Snijders, Noble, Campbell

    McLeod

    What would you like our 11 to be? What are your score predictions?

  18. Izale McLeod has given a frank interview to local media about his departure from former club Crawley Town.

     

    He left the Broadfield under a bit of a dark cloud, with Red Devils fans seemingly unhappy with how he went about things.

     

    The most telling aspect of it is when he said: "But what people outside of football don't realise is how clubs manipulate situations to make the players look bad."

     

    Here's the article - what do you make of his thoughts on the situation?

  19. Took @[member="GrannyPie"] to the docs for her regular INR blood test.She should have gone last Monday but was suffering badly with the 'bug' some of us had at Skegness.I wasn't looking forward to this as the weather forecast wasn't very good but we made it there and back without getting wet.Catching up with PoN now.Hope everyone has a good day.

  20. Billy Daniels has left Notts County after having his contract terminated by mutual consent.



    The 21 year-old striker signed for an undisclosed fee from League One outfit Coventry City in January earlier this year and went on to make four appearances for the club, scoring his only goal for Notts with a late winner against Crewe Alexandra on debut.
     

    However, he is yet to make an appearance for the club under new manager Ricardo Moniz and the decision has been taken to allow Billy to leave to seek first-team football.

     

    Head of Recruitment Guy Branston said: "We wish Billy all the best for the future."

  21. Won their first match today 2-0 against Grimsby Reserves with goals from Spencer and Sarpong.

  22. Well, what's going on?


     


    @Blackville and I went to the Grimsby game - what a waste of money and effort, the less said about that performance the better.


     


    We also went to the Mansfield game, which I really enjoyed despite the result. More entertainment than in whole months of last season. However, things seem to have gone down hill since then, and I'm beginning to wonder if renewing our season tickets was wise.


     


    Have we made a mistake?


  23. Notts Reserves played their first game this afternoon at Arnold in the Football League's Final Third Development League against Grimsby.

     

    Notts team:

     

    Pilks

     

    Richards, Aghatise, Bennett, Adams

     

    Sarpong, Wildin, Wroe, Valencic, Gibson

     

    Spencer

     

     

    Subs:

    Rutty-Smith

    Parkes

    McMillan

    Payling

    Layton

     

     

    After only a few minutes Spencer made it 1-0 when he received a good through ball, side stepped the keeper and rolled it into the empty net.

     

    HT 1-0

     

    Larty Sarpong made it 2-0 after 50 minutes.

     

    FT 2-0

     

     

     

  24. I cancelled my MagpiePlayer subscription many months ago because I wasn't using it much and most of the content I could get elsewhere for free. However this morning I checked my bank account and found that £37.99 had been taken from the account.


     


    I have emailed the media department but as yet have had no reply. So just be warned that if you do cancel MagpiePlayer make sure you cance it with your bank as well.


  25. Morning all, we've moved from Norfolk where we met up with 40ish other silly buggers who like to park in a field in the middle of nowhere and moved to Chichester on a farm campsite. Had a nice posh meal with Brother in law and his wife last night washed down with a pint of Talors Landlord.

    During the night we woke to a drip drip drip sound during torrential rain, the water was dripping on my bed, so it seems we have a leak, luckily we are going to the Isle of Wight where the van was manufactured and hopefully they can sort it out for us, that is if we can get to the Isle of Wight! There is a howling gale blowing at the moment I just hope the ferries don't stop running.

    Typical I missed a great win on Saturday but in a way I'm glad I wasn't there because my next door neighbour sat in my seat and got smacked in the head by the ball, I hope he is ok, I left a message on his phone but he hasn't been in touch so can't find out how he is.

    Have a great day everyone whatever you are doing.
