In all Seriousness Notts were never going to win the FA cup. So we have to believe that we are better off out of it. 30 league games left is plenty of competitive football and the fact that there are no other distractions could prove to be a godsend. After the Manchester City millionaires knocked us out a couple of seasons ago our form slipped alarmingly. Give it everything we've got in the league and we might be pushing for outright promotion, never mind the play-offs. Before this season I would have been happy with a mid table finish but I seriously believe that there is a togetherness at Notts, the likes of which has been missing for a few seasons now.

I've tried to achieve something different, anything can be changed.

What do you think @magpiejue



Does Jimmy get the nod?

I would love to see Shaun Derry play for Notts County he has had a great career.  I will say i would only like to see him play part time though as we need his prescence on the touch line. He is a great manager and has brought us on leaps and bounds.

In another post @notts-joe was having a bit of friendly banter with @GrannyPie and I said to be careful he could get a clip round the tab. This amused @weymouthPIE who said if he said that down south they wouldn't know what he meant.

This got me trying to think of other words that are local to this area and people in other parts of the country would have difficulty understanding. Here are a few I thought of:

Cob = Bread roll

Causey = Pavement

Twitchell or Jitty = Narrow alleyway

Badly = Ill (as in I feel badly today so I'm not going to work)

Mardy = Grumpy or sulky

Rammell = Rubbish

I'm sure there are lots more, anyone else think of any?

What's everyone into?!

Hello and welcome to @Blathers67.Nice to see you're already joining in and posting.How about telling all us nosey lot a bit about yourself.Looking forward to more of your posts.

Don't be put off from showing the lighter side of discussion, I'm not expecting a great response but I will be seeing who skips class here!

I just on BBC Notttingham "Tale as old as time", you from Beauty and the Beast? In PoN's case @GrannyPie and @super_ram Now it was being sung by a performer, I have no idea who by but it is one of the songs I remember from my childhood. I had watched Beauty and the Beast a few months back with my daughters Ellie and Ava.

As you expect they loved it. I've ranted about how cartoon's no longer teach children about life, the same can be said about Animated films but to some level it is still there. Example Disney's Up! Very hard to watch the scene where Ellie dies, which good films can provoke emotion.

Anyways, please leave a animated soundtrack either video or comment which reminds you of a time shared with your family.

@the_dan_1 I'm expecting you to attend class..

best notts player you have seen? what game they featured in can you remember?

for me its lee hughes, he looked class and could easily find space or drop off from his markers. the game which stands out for me was the one where he scored his first hattrick he came bursting towards the kop and it all went mental. does anyone remember which team this was? i dont.

I've written my thoughts about the F.A Cup exit and the disappointment behind it, yet for me it's not the end of the world. I would just like to see if we can generate a worthwhile discussion about it, so we can see how each person feels about it.

This might be the right sort of club for him, as Man Utd never seemed to be the right fit.

After listening to Colin's Question about last season,

I got the impression the Derry is getting annoyed about the persistant question.

To me, last season was history when we kicked off our season at PNE.

21 point's to go

Mice...

It's that time of year I guess, they are looking for somewhere nice and snuggly to call home for the winter.

So far in the kitchen, one caught in a trap, the poison dish keeps being emptied, in fact this morning they had shoved the empty dish out into the floor so we could fill it up.

Up in the loft, we have caught one in a trap, the poison dish is being munched on daily, there is a body for me to go and remove now, and you can hear them running around dancing, its like Strictly come Rodent.

The plan,

more traps, more poison, and recordings of Bruce Forsyth

Sorry @super_ram, but this thread is anti Derby.

Surely this is a Notts phrase not a sheep phrase!!!

Actress Angelina Jolie left some audience members baffled when she greeted Derby actor Jack O'Connell with "ay up me duck" at an awards ceremony.

She spoke in a Derby accent and introduced him with the East Midlands phrase as she presented him with an award at the Hollywood Film Awards.

Some television viewers tweeted in delight while others did not understand why she was talking about a duck.

O'Connell has the lead role in Jolie's upcoming film Unbroken.

Again apologies warm, but some things are sacred!!!

I've just looked at the table and we're fourth, have lost three games out of 16 and have a hard-working, passionate team. I'm excited. There now cannot be any doubt whatsoever that Shaun Derry's black and white army will lead us to the Championship and eventually to world domination and beyond. Someone's got to win promotion, after all. It's about time it was us.

Keep this at the top if you agree with the following:

WE ARE GOING UP SAY WE ARE GOING UP!

Britain has its first recorded case of Bird Flu in 6 years. The risk of spread is quite low says chief veterinary officer.

I hope today's result makes up for us missing @magpiejue's birthday last week.When she appeared on one of Cobby's early fan view videos she made super smile.

So a belated Happy birthday Magpiejue.I hope you had a good day

I hate how our fans complain, it is good to see the club fixing things but the floodlights worked fine before even with a few blown or not working bulbs.

It looks like he's set to make another move, however the reports read like he could be leaving. I like Tyrell Waite, he's a good lad and player and I can't help but feel he will only improve playing in our own squad. I'm not sure the move will help him playing in the Non League, we need to work on getting our players into Burton or Mansfield.
 

Striker Tyrell Waite could be set to join non-league Lincoln City on loan.
 

The 20-year-old is on trial with the Imps and could seal a loan move to Sincil Bank for the rest of the season if he impresses.
 

Waite joined the Magpies in January 2012 from Ilkeston, but has only played nine league games for the club, scoring one goal.
 

Boss Shaun Derry said: “Tyrell has come back from Ilkeston where he didn’t play enough games. He is finding himself not involved with the squad. That’s because our squad is at a level where Tyrell has not got to yet.”

Waite has trained with Lincoln this week and Imps boss Chris Moyses said: “Things haven’t gone his way in the last few months, so we are going to have a look at him.

 

Thoughts?

For those who remember John Chiedozie will have noted that a J. Chiedozie got on the score sheet for a non league side (can't remember who) against Mansfailed with an absolute screamer. It was in fact John's son Jordan nice to see that name in football again.

Over the years I've noticed our language is getting more and more Americanised.

We now say Hi or Hey instead of Hello. Bums are now butts, nappies are diapers, films are movies. I'm sure there are more examples, are you bothered by this or is it just part of globalisation and we should accept it?

What do you think?
