I have now written a brief introductory article about football up to the time of Notts formation in 1862 and will continue with more:-i.e. The formation of the F.A. and Football League and come up to date with, hopefully, interesting and informative articles. I enjoy reading about the history, players, and ups and downs of other clubs. I hope other site member do also and will add their own comments to give us all a better insight into football's rich history. Notts-Joe has asked me to write up about the history of football, not just relating to Notts County.

Article - Read Here

I know quite a bit about Derby County, and I'm still learning more ,even at my age. I know a fair bit about football in general, including other clubs and I look forward to reading other people views. Your thoughts?

So, what have you all been upto today (or currently plan to do)?

I'm preparing to go out, decided to take the children to the part. It seems like one of those days that you wouldn't want to waste sitting inside and doing only vitual things. The plans to go to Vernon Park, we used to go all the time when Jake was younger but with things the way they are these days it's a little awkward.

Plus the children was looking forward to seeing Granny and Super Ram, with them being at their house. It leaves us with some spare time!

I will of course still be around, though limited compared to normal. When I get back I need to do some admin tasks, along with some other things. YP!

Share what you have been upto/doing.

I received this email today, I know not everyone get's these emails so I have (hopefully) uploaded it here.

Apologies if this has been talked about but I read or heard on the radio that McGregor was a bit petulant and showed his displeasure when he was substituted against Wolves on Saturday, Derry said in an interview that he was being immature and he took him off for the good of the team.

I hope that it hasn't soured the relationship between player and manager and it was just a heat of the moment thing.

What do the people who were there think, was Derry right to substitute him or should he have stayed on? What form did the petulance take? Was he right to be annoyed?

Discuss.

We took our Grandson George to the YMCA Day Camp today, they spend the day there and do all sorts of activities which keeps them occupied and hopefully wears him out. We walked there it is about a mile and all the way he was singing "Its fun to stay at the YMCA" at the top of his voice, this was at 8am in the morning, our street is occupied by mainly  retired people, a lot of curtains were drawn no doubt hoping to have a lie in, goodness knows what they thought.

I get really confused when reading posts that people have quoted, sometimes I can't tell what is the quote and what is the reply, anyone else have this problem? It is particularly bad on the phone app.

My question is @notts-joe is it possible to differentiate better between the quote and the reply? Make the quote a different colour perhaps. When I am quoting a post on the desktop I try to remember to change the colour of the quote myself to make it more readable but you can't do that on the phone app.

Obviously there's a lot of adverse weather around at the minute, so if any of the matches included in the prediction league are postponed or abandoned, they will be void, and no points will be awarded.

This Saturday's fixtures:
Doncaster Rovers v Barnsley

Millwall v Bolton Wanderers

Crawley Town v Carlisle United

Preston North End v Leyton Orient

Hartlepool United v Newport County

Plymouth Argyle v York City

Because it seems to be 1 step forward and 2 steps back. We are gradually running out of games, we can't keep expecting other teams to slip up, can you honestly see us putting a long unbeaten run going. Which is what is needed. Forever hopeful tho.

This subject comes up every season. But surely some thing has to happen? 

With the Ladies now coming on to it as well. Are we waiting for the Rugby Club to depart in 2015? I know Mr Trew is not happy with the Contract and i can see a Big boot coming next year. 

Quite embarrassing, If we play on a bog with the ladies on TV.........actually Ladies in mud...................       

I see that the Notts County Ladies team have signed two England players.

They are to play their games in the summer months at Meadow Lane (god help the pitch) but there are only 8 in the league they are playing in so they will play 7 homes games, they can't play in black and white stripes because the black block on the back of the shirt somehow clashes with the referees, so they will play in Notts present away shirts.

I'm not sure of admission prices but would you consider going to support the ladies. (No jokes about swapping shirts after the game please).

I think I might give it a go if I wasn't camping or anything it might stave off the feeling of "cold turkey" I get when there is no football. Although having said that there will be the world cup starting in June of course.

Hello, fellow football fans!

I am here as part of my research into a new project, looking at ways to help supporters reduce the cost off attending modern day football.

Would you mind taking a moment to complete the attached simple survey.

We are looking at potential ways to help football supporters reduce theirs costs of attending football matches and your responces would give us valuable feeback on what is important to fans who do travel to games, home and away, however often.

Many thanks.

Looks like I will be ok to go back Vs Tranmere. Can't wait, not the same listening to the radio.

I'm hopeful that even if Notts do suffer the drop they will stick with Derry & Abbott and rebuild the club for a serious attempt to 'do a Cardiff' and storm through the league

but

if that didn't happen

if Notts suffered a drop into the Conference

would you still support them?

If not, where would you go to get your fix? Be honest, would it be the City Ground?

Who do you regard as a club you might support if there was no Notts and travel was no object?

In a way I suppose this is two questions. 

I've only just noticed this feature at the bottom of the forum, can everyone like this post because I want to overtake @Cobby whose video Notts v Coventry post is top at the moment.

Ian here, Rotherham fan (who posts on here). Thought you'd be interested in my pics from my trip to St James Park last night for the Toon v Spurs......

I've just heard on the radio that Nottinghamshire school children will no longer be allowed to visit the county's nature reserves because of the problem of dog faeces being left on paths.

This really annoys me, we used to take 4 children to and from school and it was a nightmare steering the kids round dog poo on the pavement so they don't step in it.

Some of the ones that do pick it up then think it's a good idea to hang the bag in the nearest tree like some bizarre decoration.

It's time these irresponsible dog owners were punished with really hefty fines.

Rant over, I'd better stop before I blow a gasket.

I've just watched most of the prematch interview on MP...my battery gave up the ghost before I got right to the end, but I'm sure I heard the interviewer say something about the comments Kenny Jackett made about us after watching us on Saturday as the Wolves game was postponed.  He's supposed to be complimentary about us, but I can't find his comments anywhere.  I googled it and watched a video but all he said was we were fighting for our lives. 

I'm sure the interviewer said that it was a comment about us being an excellent footballing team in a false league position, but I couldn't hear too well.

Has anyone read or heard this, and if so, can you provide a link please?

This morning @tonyhateley posted a rant about dog mess and @GrannyPie asked him not to start me off with things that annoy me.She went on to mention people stepping in front of me when I'm pushing her in the wheelchair.This is very common even when just walking by myself.She went on to list impatient people,queue jumpers,Forest fans,the weather,out of control kids with parents who couldn't care less and people speaking too loud while on a mobile phone..

 I can add stupid rules about parents/children's holidays in term time and what can go in school lunch boxes.I could go on forever but what does everyone else think.Are there any more members about to join @Super_Ram and @tonyhateley's Grumpy Club?

We all desperately hope that Notts keep their League 1 status although, as I've said, I can't rate our chances better than 50/50. Those games that others had over us unfortunately seem to be turning into more points than you would hope for. Bristol C especially seem to have rallied and I see them pulling clear.

So my question is this:

If Notts are to survive then name me four clubs that are likely to take the fall this season. Whatever four I come up with I can list three certain fallers, but the fourth in my reckoning is Notts. We have no consistency whereas Cotterill is now drilling that into Bristol. 

 

Wolves step-up interest in Celtic's Callum McGregor as Notts County hope for loan deal.

 

Notts County's hopes of keeping Callum McGregor at Meadow Lane took a further blow today after Wolves stepped-up their interest in the Celtic midfielder.

The Post understands Kenny Jackett is preparing a £750,000 swoop for the Magpies' top scorer who has bagged 12 goals while on loan from the Hoops.

It is believed Celtic were originally keen on a straight swap deal with Wolves for Scottish international Leigh Griffiths which the League One side were cool on.

They are now said to be readying a straight cash bid for the 20-year-old who has become a hot property during the transfer window.

I'm not happy about this, although I have had time to digest the news. It's very likely that McGregor won't be coming back to us, so I really hope someone else places a big and temps him a way from a rival League One team.

Thoughts?

Okay, so we've seen our former Member of the Month's struggle adjusting back to life after the award.

However, please do spare a thought for me. I can't shake off Google Mobile!


At least I feel missed! Not quite sure what it's obsession is with liking my articles.
