It looks like the brothers have prepared Notts very well by improving the financial health of the club, so I don't think that our club will have any problems meeting the new criteria. I think that in light of this new development with clubs having to prove their financial health other clubs will be looking at the Notts financial model very favourably. Unfortunately, I don't think that the rich clubs will be affected because of the huge amounts of money that those clubs generate. I don't think that this development will do anything to prevent the richest clubs dominating the Premier League, & with it the football pyramid. I still believe that there should be a cap on transfers fees & players wages to try to prevent the richest clubs creaming the best players, thus reducing fair competition.

A good draw against non league opposition in the FA Cup 1st Round. Good chance to progress.

Scotland should be burying playing nations like Belarus. I think it's a big shame that the Home Internationals were discontinued. They used to be so competitive & I really do believe that those end of season finales used to help the home nations especially when it came to competitive match practice. Whether it's a coincidence or not Scotland has failed to qualify for the World Cup Finals since the team played under Jock Stein in Spain in 1982. The home internationals were abolished in 1983/84 season.

I was stuck by what @True Magpie said in another thread when he said, "But with Kelle Roos already here, Notts will not want two goalkeepers who both expect to play every week". I don't know whether Martin Paterson would agree with that. The whole point of having a good quality squad is to encourage competition for first team places. At this particular time Notts do have players that have cemented their positions in the first eleven, but I am quite sure they will be looking over their shoulders because there are others who are working hard to take their place. As far as the goalkeeping position is concerned, there isn't much competition, & I believe this isn't good especially in such a vital position. There is no doubt that Notts do have a weakness in that position. That's where we come to the debate about the right or not to a first eleven place. I believe that there should be continual competition for all places in the team based on performance & attitude. That includes the goalkeeping position. It just doesn't suit the Notts cause for it not to be so.

The team is doing very well & has an outside chance of qualifying via the playoffs. Although their chances are slim, they are making history & boosting their standing in World Football.

Just having a bit of a rough day today. The weather outside doesn't help. Dark and dreary. These are the type of days we have in the UK that Mrs R doesn't like. When I visited New York one October the first thing that hits you is the brightness & how high the Sun is in the Sky even at that time of year. The trees over there in Autumn are also much more colourful & they really are a beautiful sight.

Your Monday Weather 4cast.

A big welcome from me @Mark Berehowskyj & welcome to our community.

Just too many alternatives today. More guesswork than skill work.

Full Time.Defeat for Notts.Notts 0 Worcester 4..It was a poor performance from the Notts team today. Certainly not up to the standards that they have been showing most of the season. Worcester played very well and I'm sure it was their best performance of the season, however the Notts team will be very dissapointed. Just a bad day at the office unfortunately l.
