On the 'Things that annoy you' topic notts-joe posted this reply-

Rude people - I honestly believe people should be kind and considerate.

Loud music - Just no need, if you can't hear it well... USE Headphones! Why should I be forced to listen to it?
Parents who swear and belittle their children - We all know the type.
People who put down others (especially those with disabilities).
Children who are out of control and their parents do nothing or aren't interested.

I could be here all day but these days I'd rather focus on the things which make me happy.

I must say it's better not to dwell on annoying things,move on and concentrate on the good things in life.

So let's BE more positive-What things make you happy?

I'll start of with Rams winning(Ecstatic when it's 'that lot) and Notts winning too.

Time with family and friends-especially grandkids.

A nice walk pushing Granny on a lovely warm day followed by a meal and a drink or two in a nice friendly pub.

Interacting with other PoN members.

Welcome to our site @Partizan Pat.Please join in posting and let us all get to know you.We're a friendly bunch.

Yesterday was our youngest grandson's birthday.He's the son of @William 1984 & Harrys_mummy.They went out for a birthday meal yesterday but today was his party. notts-joe,cheeky,super_pie(Jake),Ellie and Ava came round and we had 3 hours of noisy bedlam.Harrys_mummy organised games for the kids which was funny to watch..I didn't care for some of the game prizes that the kids received-WHISTLES & PARTY BLOWERS! (I'd already got a headache)It was nice to see all the grandkids having a good time though.

Really interesting video on the Magpie Player, it focus on Mark Fotheringham speaking about some time he spent with youngsters. Do you have a subscription? You can view it here

He basically talks about how he's doing his level 2 coaching badges, that he spent time shadowing some of the junior coaches and Mick Leonard. He mentioned he's very lucky to be able to lean on Mick because of experience, that youngsters absorb so much information and that he's excited. @ivansneck he even mentioned about how it's interesting to compare how the Germans focus on youngsters.

It received some negative comments and some jokes, yet I personally wouldn't knock it.

For starters he seemed genuinely interested, it would inspire our youngsters (I still recall visits at school by first team members and even Forest's who were mainly reserves). It makes you think "Hey, I can do this!", for any youngster it can be a great confidence boost. It's also good for him as a player, if he takes up coaching it will only benefit those around him.

What are your thoughts?

It's hardly a show that exercises the old cerebellum, but nevertheless I am drawn to it. Noel Edmunds has his share of haters, but he seems a nice enough chap as far as nice chaps go.

Now the question is: did you see today's show? If not, watch it late night.

The guy - Roop Singh - won a big amount (see, didn't want to spoil it for you) and if only his nerve had held it could have been a lot more.

I know Roop from years ago. He is an absolutely top notch person. A true Sikh. You will not find a more honourable bloke and he's so

appreciative of this country. I have seen him face a group of 100 kids or who were less than impressed by his 'foreign' appearance. Within 10 minutes he had them 'eating out of his hand'. Big Leeds fan, but nobody's perfect, Larry.

A person of my intelligence shouldn't like this show, but I do! (Arrogant get).

I do like Bradley Walsh in 'The Chase' too and that does exercise the old intellect. Could beat any of those chasers any day. Well maybe not frosty knickers.  

I have a confession to make and I hope it doesn't make you think any worse of me, I promise I have changed my ways and will never stray again.

In 1959 at the age of 7 my dad took me to see the FA Cup winners (Fword) as they drove down Arkwright Street towards the city centre on an open bus showing off the cup. I remember it vividly I sat on my Dad's shoulders and I clapped and cheered. I don't know why my Dad took me as he wasn't the slightest bit interested in football!

I have had to live with this memory for 54 years and felt it is time to unburden myself in the hope that I can achieve peace of mind at last.

I prostrate myself before you and beg forgiveness.

This wont mean much to most members but it will to the older ones-55 years ago today and yes I cried.

All I can say is YES YES YES YES !!!!!

On this day back in 1994, Sir Charlie Palmer etched his name into the Magpies history with this goal.

What are you memories of this day? Was you at the game? Let us know, let's reminisce.

First of all, I've not been on here as much as I'd like to lately, so if this has already been posted about and discussed I apologise, but I was just watching a video on YouTube and a link to this came up at the end:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zV0nayDyf7o

It's basically someone filming their whole match day at Meadow Lane, think it's against Bradford on New Years Day. Really good watch

3 games into the Ruckrunde (second half of the season) and three defeats.

At least the goats were curried again on Sunday. Well played SC Paderborn 07. A miserable journey home for 48000 Geissboecke, I hope it was raining...

Just thought I would point out how impressed I am with Bart, he has to have been one of our best signings in the summer. He has kept us in matches a number of times and has shown real quality. I remember when we signed him and all saw this video and went, "Oh bugger"! But since then he has proven himself to be worthy of three League 1 team of the week appearances.

I've just noticed that it's Ivansneck's birthday today,so I hope you're having a good day and celebrating appropriately

Good luck to Swindon against Chelsea tonight.I would love to see a cup upset here.

Wolves vs Notts County this Saturday (15/02/2014), will you be in attendance?

For opinions on the game please visit - Match Thread

Let PoN know..

Comes up often on MAD and was just interested to hear a few more reasoned views on here.

Lets keep it clean and friendly as I know we will as Colin is a legend whether you feel it is time to retire or not. That's what persuaded me to move from MAD in the first place....all the lack of respect for peers, players and others involved with the club!

All three games are important for us tonight and only Port Vale are doing us a favour.



C'mon Bradford and Orient!!!

In case anyone is interested my team are at home to QPR tonight.The championship's top scorers v the meanest defence.Kick off 7.45 on Sky,Radio Derby and Radio five live.-so no excuse @tonyhateley.

Kenny Burns: New players make a difference, but Notts County must back up result.

Celebration: Alan Sheehan marks making it 3-0 to Notts with Kwesi Appiah. Picture: John Sumpter @ JMS Photography.

It was a great win for Notts County over Coventry.

They played ever so well, scored three good goals and kept a clean sheet.

But for goodness sake, don't praise those players because they start to believe their own hype and they'll go and get a bad result next week.

Obviously, some of the players who have come in have made a difference.

Hayden Mullins scored a very good goal, and Jimmy Spencer's was good too.

They just need to keep their heads down and get on with the next game, because you just hope they can keep it up.

They've got a bit of confidence now but they still have to go out and do the job next week.

They are still in bother but that win has moved them away from the relegation zone a bit.

For any team down there, if you get a win, then it is a big result.

 

In the past, we've seen Notts struggle sometimes because every time they have a good result they've then had a bad result.

I'd like to see them come out and go do the same again.

 

They're not safe at the moment, not by a long way. There's still a long way to go in the season and a lot of teams will get crazy results.

This year, they've had a couple of good results and then not backed it up.

 

I don't know if the players haven't been putting the effort in. If they do put the effort in, then they've shown that's what they can do.

If they don't put the effort in, they get hammered. And they've had a few hammerings this year. At times, they've not even looked like a team.

 

That's not down to the manager; he's as keen as a kid. It's all down to the players and whether they perform when they cross the white line.

 

They've not really done that consistently this year, that's why they're in a mess.

Hi Guys,

I am Lewis and I am a Coventry City supporter! *booooo* ...

I was wondering if you guys could help us, we are currently running a petition and need to reach 100,000 signatures for it to be considered by government!

For those that didn't know, we have been moved 35 miles away from Coventry to Northampton whilst the council and owners Otium(SISU) bicker over the Ricoh Arena. With other issues such as Hull Tigers, Cardiff and now more recently Leeds United we felt a petition was in order for the Government to start to take action!

"

Football is our national game but the interests of fans are being disregarded by club owners and ruling bodies - government action is needed. UK football clubs are not financial franchises: they are rooted in their local communities and are an important part of local identity and heritage. But a new type of club owner is disregarding all that, pricing many people out of the game with inflated ticket and other costs, alienating people by seeking to change clubs’ names, colours and so on. Football's governing bodies are failing to address the situation. We therefore ask that the Department for Culture, Media and Sport Select Committee revisits its work on football governance and illustrates growing problems by undertaking a short Inquiry into one particular club, Coventry City, whose owner has relocated the club from the City of Coventry to Northampton, 35 miles away. This will highlight concerns shared by football fans across the country, and the need for action."

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/59884

We would greatly appreciate it if you could sign it for us, and share it amoung the wider football family before this mess gets too far! (possibly even make it a sticky on the site?)

Also, during the notts county game, Coventry fans are going to hold "WHY?" signs up at 35 minutes (35 miles from Ricoh Arena, Coventry to Sixfields, Northampton), and we would appreciate it if you would kindly offer your support for this with applause.

Good luck for the rest of the season! - apart from on saturday of course!

Lewis
