Another day another dolla.... cent! Austerity rules!

It is wet and murky up here, and because of work... it is grim ... AGAIN

Lincoln City are looking to add further depth to their strike force and have agreed to take Shaun Harrad on as a trial.

Personally, I wish him all the best. He gave his best when he joined and I do not feel he had been given a fair shot under Shaun Derry, regardless he has moved on and I think Lincoln could be pretty ideal for hi,

Do you feel Lincoln would be a good move for him? Thoughts?

Good morning everyone. It's a nice sunny, warm start here. We only have 3year old Freddie to look after today as George has gone to a day camp.

I'm going to take Freddie swimming this morning while Mrs H gets some work done, that should be fun, later it's off to Lidle and Asda for a big shop, they boys are staying over tonight then we are taking them a little camping trip tomorrow.

What is the situation with Murray, is he injured, has he played in any of the friendlies so far?

I wonder if he has a future under Moniz.

I'm led to believe these are legit. Thoughts?

Regards Al

You Pies!

Morning all, it's cloudy but warm here this morning.

We are going to a car boot this morning we haven't been to one for ages I am hoping to pick up some fishing tackle and see if there are any other bargains around.

Might pop down to the open day later and take in the Riverside Festival too.

We've got a lovely leg of lamb to have for dinner it's ages since I've had a roast dinner looking forward to that.

What's everyone doing today? Don't forget to join in the daily thread, who needs Facebook?

Here's the chance for Notts to settle folks nerves by putting together a decent display on home soil, if Ricardo Moniz can get the defence to steady themselves, I think optimism will be back on the increase. The result as such isn't important, however I hope we avoid a defeat like Grimsby because Scunthorpe have a decent squad.

I also hope the players are excited about playing in-front of home fans, so we shall see.

Is anyone going? What do you think the score will be?

I think it will be end to end, with Notts taking the lead. The final score? Possibly 2-2. I would be happy with that, yet I hope for a home win.

So according to the NP we are looking to sign Craig Mackail-Smith... to complement our forward line.

Firstly do we need, want him? Secondly I have heard rumour he has already signed for Luton, the Deal just hasn't been announced yet.

Thoughts folks.

I can't wait, I don't want to do a @Joe Jones but it's fantastic news that Carly Telford is confident about playing. It's just a shame we don't have a backup for the bench, however if you need something to spur you on - Surely this will be one of them reasons? How unfair is by the FA to not permit us to enter a second keeper???

Well, my Chelsea friend is going and I hope we can show him just what being a Notts fan is like by making a lot of racket.

The score possibly could favour Chelsea, on paper they have the strongest squad but not by much. COME ON NOTTS LADIES, BRING THE CUP BACK TO NOTTINGHAM.

You Pies!

Okay, so far a few weeks (I think) - @cheeky~k8 has been asking me for addresses to send out the prizes, now there had been some delays and mishaps which wasn't my fault but with me being busy, I tend to forget and then every time I am prompted I do too. So, I have to apologise to my Wife and to @DangerousSausage.

I'll pass on the address so it can be sent now, before I end up forgetting.

I hope you enjoy it.

Morning all, pinch punch first of the month and all that.

How are we feeling after last nights defeat, I didn't go but opted for a bbq'd steak a few beers and a couple of glasses of wine, I was keepin tabs on twitter though.

Feeling a bit fragile this morning maybe a glass too many. Ah well today's another day, I've got some gardening to do, there is a big hedge at the side of our property that belongs to next door but they are showing no sign of butting it back so yours truly will have to do it, it's a conifer so if not cut it will soon become unmanageable.

Have a good day whatever your plans are.

hello @Floridamagpie, welcome to pon. please do let us know a bit about yourself and if you can send over some of your sun, that would be appreciated. see you around pon!

Just speaking to @Joe Jones on FB, he broke the news. So, sad!

I loved him as a bad guy, as a person and as a wrestler - Link

R.I.P Rowdy Roddy Piper

What do you make of Loach and his time with us so far? He looks good training but awkward in games. I'm not sure why but I think we will be relying more on Carroll.

I am really wondered why people are so obsessed with Craigh Mackail-Smith? I mean, any other player he would be getting slated by now for not having made a decision but the thing that annoys me the most is how people are making him to sound to be like our next masirah. He is a very good player, who is perhaps too good for league two but come on, get real people.

If he don't sign for us, watch him end up being plagued by abuse either at games against us or via the twitter trolls.

Can anyone explain it? Why do some fans obsess?

Thank crunchie it's Friday, I imagine this is what a lot of you are saying today for me every day is much like another since I took redundancy from work.

Today is a bit chilly out there but nice and bright. No children to look after so we've got another free day, not sure what we are doing today I fancy doing a bit of fishing so might go a bike ride and take my rod.

Can't decide whoever to go to the match tonight or not, I'm not a fan of friendlies but it's only a fiver for over 60s so I might just decide to go at the last minute.

Let us know your plans.

Okay, I've just done this in just over four minutes - I didn't fully name each player however. I manage to score 30 though, which is annoying because I feel I know the remaining two but whatever I input it won't accept but then I may be wrong.

Name your amount and the time you give or complete the game within.

30 - 4:23 is mine.. GO!

Hello and welcome to @SuffolkMagpie I hope you enjoy visiting PoN and manage to join in the topics when you can.

Passed away at 66. No age now days.

Great player and good manager of people. (In other words when I worked there he had a reputation for being a ball breaker!!!)

 

Sad loss to Nottinghamshire and the cricketing world.

Stuart brothers has taken Ralph Shepards job at Notts, whilst I don't doubt his media ability it does seem a strange appointment to me.

 

Thoughts?
