I should apologise for not letting everyone know in the last round but this next round is taking place this Tuesday 26th January. It is a full programme of Football League fixtures, and there is a round for every full programme. We were meant to play Gillingham on Tuesday but it was moved forward to a Saturday before Christmas as we were both out of the FA Cup.

This Tuesday's fixtures:
AFC Bournemouth v Huddersfield Town

Millwall v Sheffield Wednesday

Bradford City v Preston North End

Colchester United v Shrewsbury Town

Torquay United v Burton Albion

York City v Chesterfield

Premiership;

Liverpool vs Everton

Championship;

Birmingham vs Leicester
Derby vs Yeovil (@super_ram will want the away result correcting or an apology from the club)
Leeds vs Ipswich
Reading vs Blackpool (Life after Ince)

League One;

Two games postponed - Port Vale vs Crawley and Stevenage vs Crewe

Leyton Orient vs Coventry
Colchester vs Shrewsbury
Walsall vs Swindon
Brentford vs Bristol City

League Two;

Three games postponed - Mansfield vs Bury, Newport vs Plymouth and Northampton vs Rochdale

Torquay vs Burton
York vs Chesterfield

I'm surprised so many games have been called off, I'm going to watch the Merseyside derby. It's on BT Sports

I think this has been covered before but does anyone have any particular superstition or ritual that they follow before going to the match or listening to the match.

I would have said I didn't until last Saturday, when I leave the house for the match Mrs. H. usually says "I hope they win" (mainly because she know's if they don't I will be in a foul mood when I get back) but this Saturday she didn't, I got in the car and realised she hadn't said it so I had to go back and tell her to say it in case it brought bad luck.

Not that it did much good, perhaps the reason they lost was because she didn't say it without being prompted.

I hope she says it next time.

What superstitions or rituals do you have?

Notts County can confirm that midfielder David Bell has left the club by mutual consent.

Looks like Derry is making the appropriate changes to be able to bring people in (hopefully), or at least steady the finances for Ray

http://www.nottinghampost.com/Nottingham-Forest-boss-Billy-Davies-makes-fresh/story-20434759-detail/story.html

Is this anything Forest fan's should be worried about? We all know Billy doesn't like the media, so why is he now using them to plea to the owners?

FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke has confirmed that the 2022 World Cup in Qatar will not be held in June or July.

He suggested it may be held "between November 15 and January 15 at the latest" according to Sky Sports News.

What do you guys make of this development?

Personally I believe FIFA well and truly shot themselves in the foot. The World Cup has ALWAYS been held in the summer. They blindly went for the Gulf state several years ago without even considering the basic consequences of having a tournament in a country which reaches 50C in June (why did they even need to confirm the venue for 2022 at the same time as the 2018 one?), and now they're paying the price. What an absolute farce.

Any worth taking on? http://www.thepfa.com/transferlist/listedplayers/sortbydate/-1/-1/-1/-1/-1/1/

After Brandy's today. Who was last player on a opposing team to score a hat-trick against us. I can remember Parkin for Macclesfield doing it.

am i the only one that thinks chelsea are mad for selling him specially to some as crap as united he could do alot better.

Chelsea fans duped into discussing players that don't exist

Goole FC have told player Karl Colley he will never play for them again after he assaulted a supporter during today's game, exacly 19 years after Eric Cantona's famous kung-fu kick at Selhurst Park.

You do wonder what was said to provoke such a reaction, but you can't do that and he should know a lot better.

Both teams to score with Notts as eventual winners 11/2.

Here is my £4.00, thank you very much.

Just got back from a couple of days in York, it was a treat from our son he paid for the hotel.

York is a great place for us wrinklies, the Castle museum is full of things I remember from my childhood and the National Railway Museum is full of nostalgia with steam trains and the like.

Lots of lovely old pubs selling real ale too @super_ram

This cannot be our Mark Fotheringham, surely! I swear some clever person's morphed his face into the video! haha. Seriously, I think he's improved a bit recently and would rather see him in the side, playing a more offensive role (either that or give Boucaud a rest)

Do any one you have penpals? I have had them on and off since I was at school. I'm now trying to find new ones as a few of my older ones haven't written in a while and I need something fresh.

I love snail mail and would never send emails etc as it looses some of its charm I feel. I do have my penpals on facebook, where we do chat and keep up with each other. But we always send each other letters.

I was wondering if anyone else has any or had penpals when they were younger?

This Saturday's Fixtures:
Blackburn Rovers v Derby County
Blackpool v Doncaster Rovers
Rotherham United v Crawley Town
Tranmere Rovers v Crewe Alexandra

Bristol Rovers v Newport County

Mansfield Town v Wycombe Wanderers

Work could soon begin on a £5m eco-house in Wollaton for two lottery winners.

The house, to be built at Adams Hill, in Derby Road, is the dream home of £45m lottery winners Matt and Cassey Topham.

Planning permission was given in July for the development but was subject to a report about badgers on the site. That report has now been completed.

The building, which has been likened to the Teletubbies house, would be partly powered by solar panels.

Nice idea but I can't help but feel it's sort of 'showing off' and I can remember watching them on eastmidland's news saying things like they won't let the money change them and nothing will come between them as a couple. So much for the modest house they purchased not long after, I wish them the best but this is going to end with them being unhappy and broke.

I woke up one morning,round about the beginning of the year,with an irritation in my right eye.It felt to me like there was some grit there but no-one could see anything.The funny thing was that the irritation kept disappearing only to return.I had a routine eye test due at my optician and told him about it when I went there a few days later.After close scrutiny of my eyes he told me I had Trichiasis-a posh name for ingrowing eyelashes.He went on to say that he would inform my GP who would refer me to hospital.So on Monday,this week,with Will for support,I reported to the Q.M,C.Eye Outpatient department.

We arrived early and because of this I was expecting a long wait,although it wasn't really busy.After about about 10 minutes or so my name was called out.Will came with me as we followed a nurse,me thinking-'great ,it'll soon be all over.'I was ushered to a seat ,asked a few health questions and then given an eye test.I thought this a bit unnecessary as I'd had this done when I visited the optician a few weeks earlier and anyway it's not my eyes that are the real problem.After this I was shown to another waiting area.Again,after a short wait, I was called in to see the Doctor.He was pleasant enough but very quiet and being Asian,a little hard to understand.He asked me the same questions that I had already been asked, eventually asking me what my problem was.After close examination of both eyes involving a very bright light, he made a few notes then turned to me and told me I had ingrowing eyelashes.WOW WHAT A SURPRISE.He then made more notes before catching me by surprise and suddenly putting eyedrops in my eyes,making me jump and my eyes water.At this point I thought I was in for a long wait as you usually have to wait a while for the drops to take effect.No,straightaway he had a quick look again,then told me I needed surgery to correct the lineup of my eyelashes.He went on to add that he only dealt with back of the eye problems and I would have to see a front of the eye specialist adding further that I could use tape on my eye but failing to explain further.So with that it was bye bye ,we'll be in touch and I'm no nearer to a solution-A COMPLETE WASTE OF MY TIME.

Welcome to Pride of Nottingham @magpie c, it's nice to have you here. Thanks for taking the time to join us! It might take a little time to get used to us but once you do, I think you will be well a way.

Please do consider telling us a little about yourself.

Former footballer Stan Collymore has accused Twitter of not doing enough to combat abusive messages after he was targeted by internet trolls.

The broadcaster has retweeted some of the offensive messages he has received since he suggested Liverpool striker Luis Suarez dived to earn a penalty in Saturday's match against Aston Villa.

Staffordshire Police confirmed it was investigating.

Twitter said it took action against targeted abuse that was reported to it.

'Thorough investigation'

Mr Collymore, a former Liverpool player who now works as a pundit for radio station TalkSport,

wrote to his 505,000 Twitter followers: "In the last 24 hours I've been threatened with murder several times, demeaned on my race, and many of these accounts are still active. Why?"

He later added: "I accuse Twitter directly of not doing enough to combat racist/homophobic/sexist hate messages, all of which are illegal in the UK."

In another tweet he wrote: "Several Police forces have been fantastic. Twitter haven't. Dismayed."

He's a troll himself, very annoying and to be honest with you - I think he does this to attract the limelight. He actually responds to them! why? Sarcastic responses will attract trolls. I can remember tweeting him myself, after he trolled someone.

Threats aren't acceptable but the guy needs to either come off Twitter or block them. If he's reported them (which I would be surprised if he did) Twitter would take action.

Personally I'm getting tired of him and his views.

Welcome @daz196969! I hope you like what you see here on Pride of Nottingham, it's good to see you drop by. Hopefully we will see you around our community

Enjoy

Thanks for joining us here on Pride of Nottingham @Cliftonpie - I hope you like the site and visit whenever possible, as you settle I am sure you fit right in and made to feel at home.

Welcome to the community

I have just found that Danny has been put up for transfer. I personally am gutted. He is a very talented striker and we need him badly. I can't understand why he is up.

A lot of fans on facebook are happy about this though. I can't understand why, as it will be history repeating itself, when he leaves for another club and starts scoring goals very match!
