@Chris In addition to the Sports you mentioned, Boxers while they are Amateurs they wear Full Head Gear, But once they Turn Professional the Head Gear is taken away ???

@Fan of Big Tone I don't think the Idea of a Player wearing head protection, would be approved by the F.A but then again it may be considered. Peter Cech the former Arsenal Goalkeeper wore Head Protection, but that was due to a Medical Condition. Weren't certain bones in his Skull thinner than normal peoples? I think I either read that or heard it in an Interview he gave. Further more would Players wont to wear Protective Head Gear? Some wear face masks to protect a Broken Nose, but I'm not sure about Head Protection. A Clash of Heads will always happen, I remember Derby's Roy Mcfarland wearing a Bandage during a Match after a Clash of heads. And I'm sure lots of PON Members will Remember the horrific Blood Splatted Images of Terry Butcher who despite his injury played on for England during a Game. It may end up that Players are Given a Choice whether to wear Head Protection or Not.

@Chris You are right basically back when these players were playing Nothing was known about the problems of heading a Football could Cause. Medical theories weren't advanced then as they are today. Neither was Dementia a Headline illness back then, it was called or referred to as Senile Decay. Something some Old People Suffered From. Suing people no matter how much money you get, wont Bring your Loved one back.

When Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II opened Buckingham Palace to the Public for the first time, my Mate Dave and his Missus went down for a visit. While on a Guided Tour they stopped to Admire a couple of Painting and other items the turned and found themselves alone, the Tour had moved off with out them. They wondered around and got Completely Lost. Then a Chap in a Naval Uniform ( yes I wondered) came through out of a nearby room and asked Are You Lost? I'm afraid so replied Dave Not to worry said the Naval Gent. Simply go to the end of this corridor turn left and the second exit along will bring you back to the Tour. Thanks Very Much said my Mate. Him and his wife were about to set off when a Fanfare sounded. Who's that? asked Dave's wife That's the Queen declared the Naval Gent By Gum said Dave She plays a mean Trumpet.

@Piethagoram Over the past few years the Deaths of Players from the 50's and 60's have been linked to the Fact of them heading a Football. I believe Jeff Astle and Nobby Styles were two other players who suffered from Dementia in later life which was linked to their heading a Football. The Old leather laced footballs back then weighed around 5 pounds and in Wet and Muddy conditions considerably more. It will be of Little Comfort to the Grieving Families of these Players, but now Thankfully Modern Footballs are a totally different item and are safer to use. And hopefully technology in the making of New Footballs will advance even more, to totally eliminate any Danger of Brain Injuries to Players.

@Robbie Yes I know it was just I was commenting on the Inept Reporting by the Head Football Writer of the B.B.C who in a Report Declared that England were playing Slovakia. Which shows like most Media their articles are Never Proof read. I remember some kid who wrote for Nottingham Live that Derek PARVIS once owned Notts County.

Are you like me Looking Forward to the England vs Slovakia Match? That's right the 3 Lions Face Slovakia. According to the B.B.C And We all know the B.B.C ARE NEVER WRONG.

I sat gazing at the Night Sky, a Million Stars sparkled like Diamonds, which had been thrown by some Giant's Hand across the Black Velvet Heavens. Gossima thin clouds raced across the face of a Full Moon, blown by a Cosmic Breeze. The Full Moon Hung in the Night Sky, like a Shield of some Celestial Warrior awaiting his Return. It was then I thought I really need to put A Roof On This Outside Loo.

Leadership is what Notts needed and looks Like Rod has it. That's No disrespect to Macca, who's taken over the role of Captain. It's just I feel in a Defensive position Rod will have a wider view of the game and can Marshal the Defence and this will not only help Macca leaving him Free to concentrate on scoring Goals, but his Experience will also Benefit the Younger members of the Squad.

Thanks for that @Fan of Big Tone. Apparently an Argentinian B.B.Q is the the type of Grill the Meat is cooked on. I would think that the B.B.Q will be outside, otherwise wouldn't the Smoke set off the Sprinkler System in the Nest?

@Up the Maggies That's interesting Ryan Harley drinking with Joe Palmer. Might be Nothing in it, but as you say Harley wouldn't be leading any talks but there's Nothing To Say He Wasn't Sounding Palmer Out, Regarding a Price then Reporting back to Williams. Would any discussions just revolve around Macca or would they also involve Jodi. I Suppose we'll find out in Time.

@Robbie When I saw the title of this Topic. I had to look twice, and make sure it was Rod McDonald and Not Ron McDonald. I thought you were having a Little Joke with us. Another tick in the Defence Box. Hope he also has Leadership Qualities.

You Know you're right @Robbie. There's Nowt Wrong with Fish Chips and Mushy Peas. Mind you what about a Pot of Mushy Peas and Mint sauce? It's been years since I've had that and how about a Plate of Bread and Dripping? Proper Grub none of this Foreign Muck, Good Stuff That'll Put Hairs On Your Chest and make Your Teeth Curl. I can hear my Arteries Hardening at the very thought.

@Fan of Big Tone I've No Idea how to place an emoji on my comments. It took me all my time to get my head around the @ whoever's name I put after it. I'm really Not into Technology. In fact I don't see a Problem with a Pen & Paper. But that's another story.

@Fan of Big Tone This was said with Tongue very much firmly placed in Cheek. It just Struck Me as Ironic that after Scotland's Exit from the Euro's , I open up my Email and the first Line says Argentinian B.B.Q.

Amazing Just Amazing. Chris & Alex along with everyone associated with this Deserve all the Plaudits that are coming their way. The Ground Staff can Feel Incredibly Proud of Their Achievement and Hopefully this will be Acknowledged by Notts being Given Important Top Level Matches in the Future.

@Robbie You would Think So Wouldn't You? But it seems that being English is Now A Major Problem These Days. So I will say this (with tongue in cheek) Maybe that's Why England are performing so Badly at the Euro's? It would be Totally Non P.C. To allow the 3 Lions to Win the Tournament. Heaven Forbid.

I Have just Received a Email from Notts County regarding the England vs Slovenia Match which is being shown at the Nest. But as the Notts Fan Zone made a Faux Pas? The First line reads AGENTINIAN BBQ. OOOPS after last nights Scotland vs Hungry Match when the Scots were Denied a Penalty, by an Argentinian Referee. That perhaps Not The Best Line To Start With. Would You Say? The Magpies may Not have many Scottish Followers, But there might be a Few and a Few England Fans may also take Exception, Regarding the History between the Two Nations.

Poor Old Harry Kane the Football Pundits are giving England a Hard Time. They don't know how Tough Tournament Football is. Why Do Professional Footballers Embarrass themselves, with Stupid Remarks Like That? Firstly most of the Pundits have played Tournament Football, so they know what they are Talking About. And after the opening two games in Germany, the England Team Deserve the Criticism for their Lacklustre Performances. And to Be Upset over those Remarks by those Nasty Men, perhaps it would be a Good Idea, to oh I Don't Know Grow A Backbone and learn to live in the Real Word. Not Knowing how you're going to Pay your Next Bill, Not Knowing Where your Next Meal is Coming From, Not Knowing if your Kids are safe. THAT'S TOUGH. And you're Upset because some other Multimillionaire, stated you Didn't Play Very Well. Just S.T.F. Up. These Moaning Minnie's Make My Blood Boil.

Scotland can clearly say We Wuz Robbed. A clear Penalty, and something not shown on the X clip but can be seen on the full B.B.C clip is the smile on the Defender's face after the Penalty appeal was waved away, he Knew He'd Got Away with that one. Still can't believe VAR didn't look at it.

Former Notts County and now Swansea Manager Luke Williams had a Dizzy Spell in Swansea City Centre and Fell Over. Luckily two Swans Fans picked him up and took him into a nearby Nat West where he recovered. While drinking a Cup of Sweet Tea, Mr Williams Asked Where am I? You're in the National Luke Good Grief . What Happened to Leagues 1 & 2 ?

This Chap was sitting at the Bar When his Mate walks in with his New Dog. A Beautiful Coal Black Labrador. My Word George says the Bloke at the Bar. That is a Magnificent Animal. Thankyou Albert says the Dogs Owner. I'll let you in to a Secret. That there Dog is also a Blacksmith. A Blacksmith Don't Rubbish. No it's True. If I kick in the Nuts ,it'll make a Bolt For That Door.

@Robbie I Really Wanted Scotland to Win and Qualify, because I've got some Scottish Blood. It's on a Carving Knife in the Kitchen. NO I'm only Joking. Back in the Mists of Time there is Scottish Blood on my Mum's Side of the Family. On a Serious Note I know what you mean about VAR how was that Not Even Looked At? In the lead up to these Finals Scotland did Put In Some Very Good Performances, And I Honestly thought that this time they had a Good Chance of Getting, Out Of The Group. But looking Back maybe the Writing was on the Wall as they had some iffy Results in the Lead Up to the Euro's. Mind You If Any Fans Know To Enjoy Themselves It's The Scots.

@Robbie I know what you mean about helping out the Trouble and Strife. I was once asked if I was a Considerate Lover. Oh Yes I Always Lift My Feet When She's Hoovering.

Scotland may be Struggling in Germany. But Some Good News. Scotland & Liverpool Legend Is Out Of Hospital Alan Hanson as been discharged from Hospital. He had been taken to hospital Seriously ILL Thankfully he's been Allowed Home to continue his Recovery. All the Best Alan for a Full and Complete Recovery.
