I cant remember if I wrote it on here or not, but me and my mum made a Dorset Pies flag over the summer and we planned to give it its first outing at Sheffield United the other week. Unfortunatly, for reasons I couldnt fathom and the stewards couldnt actually give me, my flag, along with I would say about six others was confiscated.

Watching the League Cup highlights from United's game with Burton Albion I noticed that Burton fans had quite a few flags in their end. I'm currently watching a game between the English and Scottish under 21s which is taking place at Brammal Lane and there are a number of flags in both the home and away sections!

I'm really quite annoyed. I know it could look pretty daft, people could think its just a flag get over it, but when you (well me AND my mum) spent quite a bit of time working on it and took the effort to travel half the length of the country to be at the game, its pretty dissapointing and rather frustrating to see others being allowed to have flags.

I've actually sent Sheffield United FC a polite email this evening inquiring as to the reasons for the confiscation of my flag and other Notts fans' flags.

Just out of interest, has anyone else on here had this problem before?

I at first put the decision down to the prescnence of the TV cameras but nobody checked to see if the wording on my flag was of an aggresive of offensive nature. The Scottish flags there tonight where even covering the advertising boards!

Sorry, rant over. Just really quite annoyed by it to be honest

Fingers crossed we can go back to full strength after this clash.

Walsall will be wanting to no doubt keep their winning record, it's for Notts to go into the game and realize that we can get points out of such games. I'm not saying Walsall are easy, although they're in the group of teams we should be looking at defeating. I still think Liddle is out and I mentioned this previously, it might be worth throwing Labadie into our defense, which would allow Sheehan to be left back and Tempest to play a role in the midfield.

We could see Tempest dropped, although I honestly feel it's harsh to say he was poor. He only struggled at times and did well to be fair, his balls into the box against the Posh were inviting.

I see the game ending up as a draw, although I hope for 3 points.

@sadlad will be no doubt hoping for a win but for me it will be nice to meet up with again or at least I hope I get to say hello again.

It just shows how much notice I take of the premiership I've just found out Mancini is no longer manager of Man City, when did that happen?

In a South West Peninsula Div 1 West match on Saturday, Bude Town went 5-1 up against Vospers Oak Villa with twenty minutes remaining. Final score?

Bude Town 5-6 Vospers Oak Villa!

Where was that on Sky Sports Goals Express then

Now, no doubt this is a very hard and demanding role to cover.

Good referee's don't grow on trees, just like good English players! They've got to be given a chance to step up and even sometimes they will make mistakes but it's got me wondering, how can we improve things?

There's some very good ref's in the non league, who are held back by an unfair system. I'd like to see it based on how ref's or assistants actually do, which would be unlikely but the current method isn't exactly working. You can forgive the odd mistake but not several in one game, that is just a joke.

If anyone fancies having a say in how Notts County is run here is your chance:

I almost had missed this, if it wasn't for @magpiejue. I've tuned in now, the fan on the notts panel seems to be pretty interesting. I think his thoughts are pretty spot on.

The elderly lady made me laugh LOL

I was sat near here and she's just as funny in person.

Ps. I am the Joe who was quoted regarding Yoann Arquin "If Arquin was more consistent he wouldn't be in the lower leagues. I think we can see more from him but he will be slow at times."

One of our casual viewers/readers has passed away.

@liampie's just informed me of the sad news.

My thoughts go out to his family and friends, Rest In Peace Magwales

This baffles me.

I'm a fan of CK but I do not understand this one bit.

5 recognised defenders (not counting Liddle) - and one being a youth (Hollis), SEVEN strikers, a weak midfield.

What do we sign?

Another striker.

Genius. Not impressed.

1-1 at half-time.

Scotland's goal was a howler from Hart. (This seems to be a reoccuring theme of late)

England's a well taken chance from Walcott.

Also Rooney had a goal disallowed for 'offside', he was miles on.

Rooney and Gerrard seem to be linking well, although Rooney's touch is similar to Delroy Facey's at the moment. 

Wilshire doing really well, as is Baines.

Welbeck is a waste of space, he is struggling even completing simple passes.
 

I witnessed some absolutely disgusting behaviour on the "beach" in Nottingham market square earlier today.

I was walking by the sandy bit and saw a man and a woman having an almighty argument in front of loads of kids, suddenly the woman smacked the guy in the head and it all kicked off. There was a massive brawl and someone called the police. This poor copper turned up on his own and took his baton to the man, the guy managed to ****** it off him and began assaulting the copper AND his wife - unbelievable! What sort of example is that for impressionable kids?

Then out of nowhere a crocodile crept up and stole all the sausages.

I have been calling him Showumni I have now found out the correct spelling is Showunmi, not much difference but I'm sure it is important to Enoch.

Who else was guilty?

Round 3 this weekend then. Those of you taking part know the drill by now but we'd be delighted (me in particular) to see a few more people joining in. You can see the other threads in the Prediction League section to get a good idea of how it works but essentially I'll post six fixtures every week and you just have to post your predictions on this thread by 1:30pm on Saturday.

Scoring System Example:
My prediction - Notts County 2-1 Tranmere

Correct Score (game ends 2-1 to Notts) - 3 points
Correct result (Notts win, but not by a score of 2-1) - 1 point
Incorrect result (Notts draw or lose) - 0 points

This Saturday's Fixtures:
Derby County v Leicester City
Millwall v Huddersfield Town

Bristol City v Wolverhampton Wanderers
Stevenage v Leyton Orient
Cheltenham Town v Plymouth Argyle
Rochdale v Chesterfield

Good luck everybody!

Was watching a football bloopers dvd when this own goal came on:

Very possibly the funniest own goal I've ever seen  

@weymouthPIE accused me of hiding behind a keyboard when I make my bold statements about winning the prediction league. Well here I am talking to you all face to face (well almost).

If we gain enough responses, we can hold a voting contest after (poll) and see who the community thinks posted the funniest caption.



Knock yourselves out..

Liverpool away anyone?

I have to say I had wanted us to focus on the League but this is just a fantastic draw, very promising and even if they was to beat us (which is most likely) just the experience would be great and you never know!!

There was a thread somewhere about people having problems with their season cards, I can't find it now but I noticed on the mailing list a lot of people complaining and Mrs Trew came on to apologise and say the club were aware of the problem and it was in hand, she also admitted it cod have affected the attendance figure as turnstile operators were letting fans in without scanning cards.

Our Grandson George is coming up to five in September so I have bought him a Notts home kit, not a bad price at £30 for the whole kit, so well done on that one Notts.

I can't wait to see him in it and take him to his first match, he loves wearing his England kit so I know he will like it. I'll post a picture when he first wears it.

Away from Meadow Lane, I think I would have to say the Emirates Stadium.

If they hadn't torn down the Old Wembley I would have no doubt said that. Only for someone to tell me it's not an English League ground!! It doesn't matter really, anywhere within the UK.

I do like Pride Park, I think it's a nice stadium and hopefully sooner rather than later I will be able to see it inside. Possible get @super_ram to go for apart of his birthday present and watch Derby play with sons and grandchildren. I'd love to see Jake's reaction, especially if Notts managed to get drawn to them in one of the cups.

Come on share yours!

Welcome @Magpie Mike,

I hope you like Pride of Nottingham, you will find us to be pretty friendly and very keen to discuss Notts. Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

Thank you for taking the time to join us here, I hope to see you around.

This is a fantastic piece of history!!
