Feargal Sharkey and the water companies / environment
Has anyone watched the BBC today? The Panorama program highlighted the number of times breaches to our rivers, lakes, and water have been caused by failures in waste disposal through the water network. They do try to control themselves and have been covering up incidents. It makes you wonder how widespread it is.

Weekend Plans 1st - 3rd December
I spent the weekend pretending to watch paint dry as I lingered around my windows, unsure whether to go out or not. In the end, I didn't, mostly because of the cold. I don't mind when it snows, as it's a bit of a change, but I don't feel adventurous. It's good to see you getting out and about @Fan of Big Tone, and I also send my best wishes to your sister @Piethagoram. I'm thinking of you both; it sounds terrible, especially so close to Christmas when you should be together under nicer circumstances.

Notts Fans Forum
I don't think some of the changes, like the pitch and the advertising boards, are necessary until the club has managed to return to the Championship. I would prefer to see improvements in areas that benefit us now and in the long term.

Notts 3 F*rest 2 ...41 years ago today
What a game it was, I remember it clearly and how we played to stay on top until the end. There wasn't a single slacker in the Notts squad, not at all. We were all fantastic that day.

Get your eyes checked... as per Charlie Slater
I haven't had any issues with my eyes, so I'm thankful for that. I'm a bit squeamish when it comes to things close to my eyes, but I get them checked every two to three years. It's great to see so many positive stories about members who have had successful operations. It seems that eye specialists have made great progress since the millennium.

Barnsley's 91st minute goal
Well, you wouldn’t want the goalkeeper to be yours as that’s just making fun and results in a silly outcome that could have been avoided. Yet, you would want the foul to be given. It’s a peculiar football clip.

Perhaps Notts's worst goal keeping calamity
I shudder to imagine what the worst goalkeeper mistake has been. I’m doing my utmost to forget about these types of nightmares. Once you’ve seen them, they’re hard to forget! The best advice is to try not to remember them.

Ipswich Town goal : Wesley Burns
What a fantastic goal! That is truly breathtaking. I hope the young man has a goal bonus because he should receive extra pay for such a spectacular effort.

Oldham beating West Ham 6-0 in 1990
Yes, I recall this outcome. Oldham had their moments of brilliance. The late 80s and 90s were somewhat of a high point for the club. It’s been a downhill journey since then, but their supporters have memories like this thrashing of one of the poorest West Ham teams in years.

November, 2023: ????Member(s) of the Month????????
It’s thoroughly deserved. I’m delighted that both of you were recognised, as I believe you put a great deal of effort and time into your contributions here. So, a hearty well done to you, @Piethagoram and @super_ramr.

message to readers and inactive members of pon
Everyone can lose their way, but you can always jump back in when you’re ready. The reason fans feel compelled to share their thoughts varies, but it’s likely that the more you contribute, the more you’ll gain. I recall the concern when there was talk of Twitter changing to X.com under Elon Musk. This isn’t Twitter, but it’s a fantastic fan community.

Trust in the Gaffer: Junior Morias on Team Selection at Notts County
Rebounding from injury is a stern test for any sportsperson, and Junior Morias ably demonstrates his grit and dedication in such times. His commitment to supporting the team off-field and his readiness to contribute whenever required expresses endless determination. His trust in the team’s strategy is also highly laudable. He embodies what a Notts County player should be!

Jim O’Brien Celebrates Notts County’s Resilience in Victory Over Crawley Town
It was delightful to see Jim O’Brien receive his well-deserved recognition against Crawley Town. His performance was steady and his goal was timed perfectly with a tempting cross. It’s just like Jim to shift the spotlight onto his teammates, a true mark of respect.

Notts County Triumphs Over Crawley Town with Convincing 3-1 Victory
It was a fantastic comeback, and Notts really needed that win. We seemed quite anxious when Crawley had too much possession. Adam Campbell’s goal was excellent, no one can deny that. But the way we stayed positive and fought for a comeback was truly heartening. It was a joy to see David McGoldrick score, and even more so when Jim O’Brien’s header put us in the lead.

Football Post 2 May 1981
What a headline indeed! It would be great to see our current squad earning accolades like this and making a strong push for promotion in League Two. We’re on our way, but a bit more consistency wouldn’t hurt.

RIP Terry Venables
Rest in peace, Terry Venables. A knowledgeable and friendly manager, highly respected throughout the football community.

Grimsby Town appoint Artell
From my perspective, the weaker the appointment, the more likely their fans will put pressure on them, and the less likely they are to perform well against us. Generally, I don’t pay much attention to opposition managers.

Notts County’s Home Advantage: A Game Changer Against Crawley Town?
It will be fascinating to see if Notts can pull together and deliver a stellar performance, or if the game will unfold slowly with few opportunities. Regardless of how it pans out, I’m hoping for the best possible result.

Wendy Patrick: The Notts County Fan with a Heart as Big as the Pitch
This captures the essence of Notts, it’s all about family and community. The 70s was a golden era in our club’s history, and it’s wonderful that younger fans, like Wendy’s granddaughter, are now witnessing a more successful team. We experience good times and bad, but we always remain a community that supports Notts County to the very end. This is a heartwarming story indeed.

Scouting Dossier : Wimbledon v Notts
Keeping in mind this is just a suggestion of a top-notch player to watch, I agree. But unfortunately, in reality, he’s being tipped for a move to the Championship and would command a significant fee. From what I’ve seen, he’s a very good player and would fit well into our system.

Match Discussion: Game 20 - The Red Devils (H)
I’ll take the game as it comes. All I ask for is effort and responsibility in defending. We’ve seen this for most of the season, so I can overlook the occasional mistake, even if it’s disappointing. I hope Luke Williams encourages the players to go out, make a statement, and aim for a clean sheet.
