  1. This will be an interesting game if the rumours flying around hold any truth. I personally always expect Orient to struggle after the amazing season they had last year, so I think the clubs being harsh on Russell Slade (if it is true).

    I don't expect them to come here allowing us to push them over.

    They still have several very good players and they play as a team (with a mutual understanding). I do feel that with us being at home we have the advantage. That said, I think the result will be narrow and I don't expect an high scoring game. It should be open and end to end, so with that in mind I will say 1-0 to Notts.

    How do you all feel about the situation at Orient? (especially as an ex Notts Manager).

    What are your general thoughts on the game? Do you think we will win?

  2. Over the past couple of years (pretty much since Kasper) Jake's (@Super_Pie) favourite players consistently been a goalkeeper. He was obsessed with Kasper, when Stuart Nelson was around Jake would always wave to him before games and then we had Bart (who Jake had numours pictures and chats with).

    However, he's not the biggest fan of Roy Carroll!

    Until......

    After having this picture Jake asked me if he was the keeper who "kicked out" and "shouted at the players". I responded saying yes, he respond "He isn't really all that angry in person dad, I like him now".... LMAO

  3. big local game coming up soon, i will be supporting @super_ram and his lot.

    i think the game will be close but derby will edge them. 2-1

  4. I'm frustrated that during the data I struggle to get data, I think its the volume of use but painfully its slow or it doesn't work. At night it's fine, really fast and no issues what so ever.

    I took two tablets, so Super could get his fix but this means he can't.

    Enjoying the holiday, its nice here. Rain is forecast for tomorrow but we shall see. Quite busy but bearable, I hate packed places though.

    PS. Supers drinking the pubs dry, literally!

  5. Just coming off the back of a row with the Mrs! Both kids are going to a Frozen party on Friday and they've had the tickets for a while now. The wife has just decided that now is a good time to sort out dresses.


     


    Jesus H! Have you seen the prices people are asking for a frozen dress for a 11 yr size (even though she is only 9)?


     


    Bloody ridiculous the prices and the way women insist they have to have the dressing up to go.


     


    All this and I said "what does Ben goes as then?" "A snowman"   A bloody snowman???


     


     


    Women!!!!!!!!!


     


     


     


  6. Please take a few moments of your time to wish @Dripsey3 Many Happy Returns.

    Happy Birthday Buddy! Have a slice of virtual PoN cake, let's put on some music. Enjoy your day :)

  7. I received this seasons home shirt, with 22 autographs signed on it by the current squad, for my 50th birthday, big thanks to Jack Grealish who sorted it for me, going to get it framed!!

  8. I won't be around for a few weeks as we are off on our travels. We are going on a cruise taking in Gibralta, Venice, Malta, Corfu, Cadiz, Dubrovnik and Sicily.

    I will try to get online to see how Notts are doing, my next door neighbour has got my ticket so he will be cheering them on for me, see you all when I get back.

    COME ON YOU PIES!!!!

  10. Tough game against a very inform League One side, I've heard a couple of people say we will win but I think that's being somewhat overly optimistic. Of course we might, though I would be more focused on getting a draw as anything else would be a bonus. When was the last time we beat the team sitting at the very top of the table at their ground?

    Honestly I see a defeat or very well earned point.

    Sadly I think it will be something like 3-1 to them but hey, we will bounce back against Leyton Orient.

    Thoughts?

  13. Notts FC are reported to be signing Jordan Cranston until January.


     


    Maybe Keanes performance on Sunday didn't do himself any favours...

  14. In an attempt to keep the board going...


     


    What are people planing to do this weekend with no match to attend or to listen to?


     


    I'm taking the kids to a park while the wife has a hospital appt to see if she has Carpel Tunnel. My job is to keep the kids out of the way. I had offered to take them to the match at Gresty Road until they cancelled it. Probably means it will rain on Saturday as well now.


     


     


  15. Im in Yarmouth for 2 weeks. Today while walking through Yarmouth market place I heard "YOU PIES YOU PIES". Well blow me down another Notts fan on holiday as well. So there we were talking about our club in Gt Yarmouth market.

  16. Notts have drawn Scunthorpe away in the next round of the JPT. I think this is a winnable tie. What do others think?


  17. Sounded like a very comfortable 2-0 win over a pretty ordinary Stags side tonight. Stags started well but as we got into our stride we bagn to dominate, and but for a couple of good saves from their keeper could have been more than 1-0 up at the break. Got the second goal at the exact right time just when they were having one of their better spells, and from there it seemed to just peter out.

     

    I know a lot of folks wouldnt have minded had we gone out tonight but I think it was important we went into this international break on the back of a win, especially after the dissapointment of Sunday. Plus it's always nice to put one over on your local rivals.

     

    Draw for round 2 will take place on Soccer AM on Saturday morning, and our pottential opponents are:
    Rochdale, Oldham Athletic, Carlisle United, Barnsley, Morecambe, Preston North End, or Scunthorpe United. Plus Doncaster Rovers, Sheffield United, Port Vale, Bury, Tranmere Rovers and Hartlepool United will all enter in this stage having had byes in round 1

  18. Former Notts County striker Delroy Facey charged with conspiracy to commit bribery

    By Nottingham Post  |  Posted: September 01, 2014

     Comments (1)

    The former Notts County striker Delroy Facey has been charged with conspiracy to commit bribery.

    The charges relate to the ongoing National Crime Agency investigation into match-fixing allegations in which footballers were paid to influence the outcome of games.

    Facey, 34, of Huddersfield, will appear at Cannock Magistrates tomorrow.

    Facey has had a long career in football and last enjoyed a spell at Hereford United.

     

    He also played for Hull City, West Brom, Oldham and Lincoln.

    Facey also had a spell at Notts where he played 63 games scoring 11 goals from 2008 to 2010.

    The National Crime Agency's investigation into match-fixing is continuing having already secured convictions of Chann Sankaran, Krishna Ganeshan and Michael Boateng of conspiracy to commit bribery.

  19. Non league day this Saturday. A day on which people are persuaded to go and watch their local teams.

     

    In the best of all possible worlds, Non-League Day would work something like this:
    Lardy arse fat b****rd Darren normally spends his weekend fermenting on the sofa in his his replica shirt. His only friend is a Sky Remote Control he affectionately calls Stelling. Darren really is quite lonely.

    Darren pays vast amounts of money every month to a chap called Rupert who lets him watch Premiership football for many, many hours every weekend. Darren has bought himself a supply of medical catheters and a leg bag. For those of you of a non-medical bent, this means Darren doesn't miss even one moment of riveting 'build up' and half-time punditry. Yes. On matchdays Darren pees into a bag.

    But Darren's Mum suggests to her son that he could perhaps get out a bit more, especially at weekends. She's read in the local paper that the local non-league club ('That Place You Only Know Cos You Look It Up on Google Maps' United) is advertising free entry for their match against another town that nobody who doesn't live there has ever actually heard of. Even on an international weekend when Darren's favourite multi-millionaire stars are having a bit of a rest, he isn't at all keen on going down to 'that effing pub league place down the road' until Mum puts her foot down and tells him how she intends spending the entire Saturday afternoon watching Come Dine With Me repeats on the 42" flat screen and he can either go to see the local side or join her watching flamboyant gay men camp their way through a Passion Fruit Roulade.

    So come Saturday afternoon, Darren emerges blinking and squinting into the sunlight and that thing called 'fresh air'. He's never been to a football stadium before. He's done tours of Stamford Bridge and Old Trafford on YouTube. He's spent an entire virtual afternoon at the Bernabeu. He can recite without thinking the pros and cons of every formation from 4-4-2 to 1-8-1. Gary Neville has taught him well. He can spout off the squad lists of every Premiership club. He spent the final day of the transfer window in a state of arousal rarely seen outside of a slightly seedy lap dancing club in a seaside town. But he's never been inside a football stadium.

    Now this is of course a good news story with a happy ending. Darren isn't totally put off by the heady aroma of chips and Deep Heat whifting it's way around the terraces, where unlike anything he's ever seen, before people are actually standing up. There are no former players offering in-depth half-time analysis, so Darren finds himself urinating into a toilet just like other human beings. He queues up for a hot chocolate and Mars bar. In fact, he rather enjoys this.

    He'a a little frightened when several of the regulars engage him in conversation about the match, and while Di Maria and Falcao are conspicuous by their absence, the centre-half postman and the winger who empties bins aren't quite the lumbering beer-bellied Jabba the Huts he was expecting from non-league football. So Darren has had, like Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction -  a moment of clarity. No he isn't going to burn his Wayne Rooney replica shirt. It cost seventy bloody quid FSS. And he isn't going to cancel his Sky subscription while there's still a months supply of catheter bags in that little cupboard beside the sofa.

    But once or twice a season when the millionaires are taking an international break and Darren is reduced to the promise of watching Bury from the comfort of his sofa, or enduring his Mum's fetish for competitive entertaining, he may just possibly get his fat lardy arse down to that local club with the postman and the bin man and breathe a little fresh air mixed with with the heady aroma of Deep Heat, burgers and the sweet, sweet smell of real football.

    Maybe.

  20. C'mon cough up and share your attempts here, I've seen some on FB and nows you chance to amuse us.

    Facebook videos are just like YouTube's here.

    I'll share mine once its upload. Lol

    Hope all is well with one and all. I'll try to catch up with all the posts tomorrow afternoon as the wife is going out shopping leaving me and Uncle Colin in peace.


     


    Mixed bag from what I can gather from national reports in the papers. Tried logging onto Magpie Player from my kindle to find the commentary doesn't work on a kindle or any android device!


    Game up, that combined with a seriously dodgy hotel inet connection. You'd think that would be a selling point, but apparently in the Canaries they still use, well canaries to send the messages!!!


     


    Nice hols and thanks for the points in the prediction league. That will probable be my best start ever!!!


     


    I'll put my predictions in now then check the other posts tomorrow pm.


     


    Toodle pip!
