Driving down the motorway, nearly had a fit... H+J interviewing JF.

No PowerPoint presentations as it was radio, Talked about his availability to get back into the game but not much on his  70 days at Notts. He said he had learned from his mistakes and that he now has League Managers Association Diploma. Whoopee He credited LMA having a good lawyers dept.... oh dear 

What an absolute farce this is turning out to be, only 700 shirts for the season ticket holders only.

Surely the season ticket holders should get a percentage discount as the way it is surely disadvantages be biggest majority of our fans.

I was going to buy myself and my son & daugter the replica kits but with this farce dragging on & on and the fact we will have a new kit in 9 months time i don't see the point.

Do season tickt holders and other non-season ticket holders feel the same?

This has been circulating the internet and was posted by Sam Hickman - I think we should all help out by showing respect to a very loyal fellow supporter

Hi all!

****Please share****

Sadly on Thursday 25th August my Grandad passed away after losing his short but brave battle with cancer. He has been a loyal county fan for 68 years attending nearly every game with his Brother including 5 trips to Wembley. He has been there through the good times and bad. Even in the last two weeks of his battle when he was so ill he still insisted on going to the Stevenage and Plymouth game. In his last hours I promised him I would try my best to get his name on the board for the Accrington Stanley game on the 10th which has now been arranged and it would mean so much to me and my family if in the 79th minute, as this was his age, of the Notts County v Accrington Stanley game we could have a minutes applause in his memory for all the good times he has spent at meadow lane. All his family and friends are attending the game as a tribute to him as he just simply bled Black and White through and through. Thank you to Aileen Trew who has been a great support at this sad time and has agreed to help to promote this to hopefully make it happen.

Please could everyone that reads this give it a share to try and spread the word to every Notts fan that could possibly help make this happen...

For some reason my privacy settings are messing up on my Facebook so if your unable to share it could you please copy and paste it as your own status to help spread the word[emoji122]????

Many thanks in advance from me and my family[emoji173]️

As some of you may know, I'm a bit obsessed with WC qualifiers. I'm going to post a few noteworthy results along the road to Russia. I'll start with Guatemala's 9-3 (you read that right nine-three) win over St Vincents last night. Both sides had nothing to play for but that didn't stop them going at it for 90 minutes. St Vincents scored the first and last goals of the game. Carlos Ruiz scored 5. He has scored an incredible 39 goals in qualifying games in his career and it has only taken him 50 games!  

There was a cracking game in Europe as well. Bulgaria beat Luxembourg 4-3 at home. It took a late winner to deny the plucky visitors. Luxembourg levelled it in the 90th minute but Bulgaria stole it at the death.

Our (Rotherham) new home kit, nice innit???

After his hat trick performance, what do we know about him? 

He's from Nottingham.

5ft9

He has been playing for Detroit City FC but started out at Manchester United's academy before moving onto Walsall's.

It seems he can be a little bit selfish with his eye always on scoring rather than lookong for a pass. 

Looks a good player but so could anyone against Linby with all respect.. Let's see how he fares in the coming friendlies with better service and see if we've found a diamond in the rough...

Hewitt, Atkinson, Burke.... have they a future at Notts?, probably not

Richards and Snijders probably can count themselves unlucky not to make the bench after Wednesday's performances

Slovakia 0-1 England. Fantastic result, helped by yet another sending off for Martin Skertel. The guy is a red card waiting to happen.

Scotland laboured but got there in the end away to Malta. Scotland are unconvincing IMO. They need to improve drastically to qualify.

Game 6 - The Mariners (H)

I've noticed on Social Media, the tides turning against Stanley. I know Elite on here has expressed hos own reservations and even I am now doubting Stanley's contributions.... but having said that, I don't think he is being helped by those around him. O'Connor was anonymous yesterday and didnt step up to a captain's duty. Rodman just drifts in and out and his ability to put in decent crosses remains questioned.

So perhaps Jamie "He who should be named" was right all along..... However, I would still rather have Stanley than Smith's limited mobility. What really holds Stanley back is his lack of real shooting ability.

Interesting interview

Collin 5 - Still undecided about him. Thought he could have gone down better to try to save 2nd. Doesnt release ball early enough to start attacks
Tootle 5 - OK but was unimpressed
Duffy 5  OKl
Laing 5 - Started very poorly but improved
Dickinson 5  good shift
O'Conner 3 -  expected so much better.Yes shocking penalty
Rodman 5 - Poor first half, and not a great crosser of the ball
Aborah 4 - A Ray Wilkins in disguise. Too many square passes but O'Connor didnt help him. Dreadful mistake for their 2nd
Forte 6 - Forgettable first half but much improved in second 
Stead 5 - Not at the races, wasted good chance in first half
Campbell 4 - Headless chicken syndrome again

Subs:
Audel 5 - better going forward with obligatory defensive lapse
Oliver 6.5  - Legs and flick ons. What Stead was lacking
Collins 6.5 - Pace positioning shooting and understanding, everything Campbell strives for but lacks

Saturday's Fixtures:
AFC Wimbledon v Chesterfield
Millwall v Bradford City
Oldham Athletic v Shrewsbury Town
Crewe Alexandra v Doncaster Rovers
Luton Town v Wycombe Wanderers
Yeovil Town v Blackpool

Noticed a couple of comments about it on another topic , so thought wonder what others in the community thought , my view is that it's poor , not one for change at the best of times so when I encounter it , I'll give it time to impress , but this football show is not good , didn't enjoy it last season and can't see me enjoying it , more a case of endurance , so I see our limited highlights , what do you think ?

FILIP Valencic CONTRACT WITH PS KEMI

07/27/2016
24-year-old Slovenian  Filip Valencic has made a 1 + 1 year contract with PS Kemi. 

http://www.nottinghampost.com/john-sheridan-keen-to-move-on-notts-county-players-who-do-not-figure-in-his-plans-for-next-season/story-29555571-detail/story.html

With John Sheridan "keen" to move a few on, who do we expect to leave?

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple of youth players such as Gibson go out on loan. Graham Burke is a player I want to do well but he seems like De Silva in that he has bags of talent but seems more of a luxury player, he can watch games go by coupled with the fact he can be lazy but I feel he may be one of the players we end up letting go. Izale Mcleod, goalscorer on his day he can tear teams apart in this league but again he can be lazy and had a bad end to the season however it's worth noting he did NOT have a pre season last year and maybe that's why he ran out of steam towards the second half of the season, can't see him leaving due Forte being injury prone, Stead picks up yellow cards, so we need that other proven striker, hopefully he will come good this season. We've still got Rob Milsom but he is always injured so that could force the end of his Notts days.
