What a transformation the brothers have made to our club since taking over the ownership of Notts County on this day five years ago.

So much positivity around the club & with Notts now on a firm financial footing, not forgetting the memories made that will never be forgotten, & further great memories to come too.

With football it's often easy to lose your sense of perspective. Our former DoF Sven-Göran Eriksson only has months left to live because of cancer, and at the weekend he got to realise a lifetime's ambition by leading out Liverpool at Anfield - a wonderful and touching gesture from all concerned. And how nice it is to see him smiling like that too.

At the weekend Gateshead's Captain, Greg Olley was fouled by an opponent early in the match and sustained a broken leg. 

Thankfully medical teams were quick to intervene and Greg was given lengthy treatment on the pitch before being transported to hospital for treatment.

Unfortunately, Greg will be out of action for the rest of the season & will need lengthy rehabilitation before returning sometime next season.

The offending player received a straight Red card for dangerous foul play and will be probably suspended for 3 games.

In my opinion if a player is seriously injured & that injury could be career defining due to serious foul play, the punishment for the offender that was sent off should be harsh.

Not sure how long the suspension in these cases should be, but surely it should be at least a 10 to 15 game suspension.

Incidentally, we saw the treatment that Jodi was getting on Sunday. Referees need to be protecting players much more from constant abuse too.

Thoughts?

After just two games of their season, Neil Critchley has been dismissed as Blackpool Head Coach.

A Couple of weeks ago now, Notts put out a warning about Clamping down on People who used their Copyrighted Brand illegally, (and quite right to) People making money from Fake Items featuring the official Club Brand is taking money from the Club Coffers.

However it would seem Sheffield Wednesday have decide to clamp down on Fake Shirts and have come out with the Following statement. That Fans who wear Fake Wednesday Shirts may be asked to Leave their Stadium. The thing is how do they know what Shirts are Fake? And how would they Police such an operation? I can't understand how the Club will know if a Fan is wearing a Fake Shirt, or Not. Will there be someone at each turnstile standing there asking to look at each Fans Shirt to check it's Genuine and Not Fake, how long would that take? Unless it's Glaringly Obvious there is a Massive difference between the Real and Fake Article, surely they wont be able to tell the difference. Plus all a Fan wearing a Fake shirt has to do is hide their fake shirt under a jumper coat or Jacket. I mean Stewards at the match Aren't going to be able to ask a Fan to remove their clothing, imagine what an uproar that would cause, especially if they asked children.

I think this move is just Wednesday trying to scare Fans into Not Buying the Fake shirts and only buying the real Club merchandise from their Official Club Superstore. The only way they are going to stop Fake shirts being sold to Fans is stopping the production at source, and I imagine a Great deal of these Shirts will probably be made in China, so that ain't gonna happen.

What are Your Thoughts?

Congratulations to David for achieving a noteworthy landmark.

Good morning it’s the start of another week, it’s been raining here that wasn’t in the forecast, blooming weather men.

This morning I’ve got the opticians it’s a routine check up, my mother had glaucoma which can be hereditary so I like to keep my eyes checked.

We’ve also got a chap coming to look at the burglar alarm which keeps going off in the middle of the night saying a window is open, when we check all the windows they’re all shut so hopefully he can sort that out for us.

Have a great day whatever you are doing.

Standing ovation for Matt Palmer has he made his return as a substitute. And didn't he make a difference.

Well. Notts have fought back from 0:2 down to get a creditable draw.

Notts created several chances in addition to scoring two goals.

So who would you name as your man of the match & why?

For me, there are three players that stand out, Crowley, Jones & Macari. 

All three have a claim to man of the match, but I will give it to the man who was influential in the 2nd half & kept super cool to score a pressure penalty for Notts in injury time. 

My man of the match goes to Jodi.

Game one of Notts County Women's 2024/25 campaign in the National League Division 1 Midlands League (tier 4), kicks off on Sunday 18/08/24 at Coronation Park Eastwood, against Lincoln United WFC, kick off is at 2pm.

Coronation Park Eastwood is the new home venue for Notts Women this season, they were previously resident at the RM Stadium, Hucknall Town's home ground.

Notts narrowly avoided the drop last season finishing third from bottom.

Notts have had Five exciting additions to their squad in the summer, so there is hope within the camp that Notts can improve to become a mid table side. 

Lincoln United will be a tough test after being promoted to the National League Division 1 Midlands, from the East Midlands Women's Regional Football League Premier Division as Champions.(tier five)

This film brought back happy childhood memories of visits to Skegness & Mablethorpe in the 60s, when life was much more slower and the World was much more pleasant.

Jacob Mitchell Bedeau was born on 24/12/1999 at Waltham Forest, England. He chose to play internationally for Grenada, him being of Grenadian descent.
Jacob can play in the centre of defence or wing back.

Jacob started his football academy career with Leyton Orient, before moving to Bury's footballing academy, where he impressed & made is professional debut for Bury before the age of 17, & he was to make 7 appearances for Bury in total.

Jacob began to catch the eye of top flight clubs & it was no surprise when he was snapped up by Aston Villa for £900K on a 2.5 year contract in Jan 2017.
Although Jacob didn't play for the first team during his time there, he was an important member of their U 23 squad, helping them to win a Cup & become runners up in their league.

In Jan 2019, Jacob joined League One side Scunthorpe U. He made his first team debut in Sept 2019 & altogether made 53 appearances for Scunthorpe before being released at the end of the 20/21 season.

After his release from Scunthorpe, Jacob then moved on to join Burnley on a two year deal & was put into the U 23 squad. In Jan 2022 Jacob joined League one side Morecambe on loan, he made his loan period permanent in Aug 2022 for an undisclosed amount. In all, Jacob made 90 appearances in League one & League 2 for Morecambe & scored two goals.

As we know, Jacob joined Notts on the 14th June 2024 on a three year deal and he's been very impressive in his pre-season games & his one league game so far.

Richard Montague was very pleased to get Jacob's signature, he believes Jacob will bring youth, experience & quality to the back line. "He is quick, powerful & brilliant in the air & is outstanding as a one v one defender".

I hope this isn't true and it's just a rumour. Would be sad if Notts let our playmaker go.
