  1. @Scotty An interesting comment but if it's Not a Secret how do you know all this? Most Fans on PON just seem to be able to speculate about what's going on at the Lane and express their opinions, but your comment seems to give a more in Depth answer regarding what the Owners intend to do with the Magpies, there are somethings within your comment I've never read or even heard rumoured about. Do you have a connection with someone at the Club? Because it can't be down to Rumour and Hearsay.
  2. I bought a Chameleon Lost it. I once took a dehumidifier in to a Sauna, just to see which one would win. I pulled up in a layby and there was a sign which said No Dumping. I was Ok I only wanted a wee. I thought P.P.I was something you got if you didn't wear goggles, at the Swimming Baths.
  3. @Robbie Must admit I was surprised by the omission of Notts Old Boy Grealish. Thought he had a decent Cameo against Bosnia, That assist he did was amazing. I mean why play the Guy if you're not going to pick him? Even if he didn't Start a match he could have certainly play the part of a Super Sub, how many times have you seen a player come off the bench and have a match winning effect on a Game? Mind you I think he's in Pep's Bad Books because he hasn't been playing for City in their Big Games. And if I'm Honest it wouldn't really surprise me to see him leave the Etihad.
  4. Well the the Crowd seemed to Enjoy it from watching this snippet. I still think he'd have been a Good appointment as Director of Football at Notts. Thanks for the Upload @Piethagoram.
  5. @Fan of Big Tone Each to their own imagine what a Boring World it would be if we all liked the same thing. Hope you enjoy it and Nev and his Forest mate do well.
  6. Will the Real Gareth Southgate Please Stand Up, Please Stand Up!! At long last this inept Manager as Stopped Picking his Favourites and gone for on Form Youthful Talent. The Trouble is will he allow them to play or Strangle their Skills with his usual Dreary Tactics?
  7. When I first glanced at this , I failed to see the word Coach. I need some New Glasses.
  8. Have you seen the England Squad, that Southgate's named for the Euro's? What Do You Think?
  9. @Robbie Speaking of Yo Yo Clubs. I think one of the other N.C.F.C teams have benefitted most out of said payments that Being Norwich City.
  10. @Robbie Like you say NO Backbone (well all except Wolves) makes you Wonder What Sort Of Hold The Premier League Has Over It's Members? Even the Red Dogs across the Trent have caved in and are Towing the PL Line. Daft is it Not?
  11. I think the Reason for Var is, the Premier League and F.A. want a Prem Game to last as long as American Football matches ( they can take up to four hours) Let's hope that if somebody at the F.A comes up with the idea of Having VAR through out all Leagues. If it's ever proposed, the EFL should Dismiss it instantly.
  12. You know as you Travel around don't see some strange signs like All Day Breakfast. I thought I haven't got time for that. Family Fun Day. Now there's three words that don't belong together. Then there was the time my watch stopped during a minute's silence I was stood there for hours. I couldn't tell anybody. Imagine coming Last in a Race For Life.
  13. I think that Programme is Aptly Named it is POINTLESS. Nev a Notts Fan and quiz partner a Forest Fan. I bet they have some Interesting Debates !!
  14. Ok Here Goes. NO. Certainly NOT in it's current form. I think for any Club in the Lower Leagues to Gain Premiership Status their Owners are going to have to have Very Deep Pockets. Wexham come to mind but at the moment their American Owners haven't faced any Sort of a Major Footballing Problem. Their Reaction when something goes Drastically wrong at the Club, will show how Loyal they are to the Red Dragons. Another reason I'll state is this, well a Question to ask, do the Current Owners of Notts have the type of Money to be able to get Notts into the Premier League and keep the Magpies there and make any sort of Impact? Looking at their current financial position the answer is NO. Now that's No disrespect to Chris & Alex, we Notts Fans could never repay them for what they have done, at the Lane since they purchased the Club from it's previous Owner. But if their current financial position excludes them from taking Notts into the English Games Top Division, it would seem New Owner(s) would come in and No one knows how any New People would run the Club, nor how long they would remain the Owners if the Going Got Tough. I certainly don't want to be throwing my loose change into a plastic bucket again. How many current Notts Fans would be able to afford the outrageous Season Ticket Prices some current Premier Clubs charge? And would they be content with what appears to be none interest from the Club, with the attitude of Give Us your money which seems the Mantra of Top Clubs? I Don't Want That (your opinions may differ) I just want to make sure that the Magpies are on a Financial Even Keel and the Club is still here when I can bring any Grand kids down the Lane. No Matter what League they are in.
  15. Let Us All Be Thankful for every Brave Man and Women who fought for the Freedom We Have Today. Let us never Forget them, No We will Never forget them, explain to your Children, Grand Children and Great Grand Children the sacrifices the Allied Forces made to stop the Nazi Jack Boot, enslaving all peoples and us having to live under Tyranny. Because if Hitler and his mob had Won a Great deal of Us Alive today simply wouldn't Be. I am thankful to both my Grandfathers who fought, I could never thank them properly, for I was very young when they both died and didn't know what they and millions of others went through, for the Sake of Our Freedom. LEST WE FORGET.
  16. Here We Go. A Nice Simple Question for all you Magpie Fans. Would You Like To See Notts County F.C. In the Premier League?
  17. @Piethagoram Disappointing Evening then? Reading your post you'd think with Neil being in Nottingham he would have gone into his time at the Lane in Great Detail or am I just assuming stuff? I can't see anymore of your post because I'm Not On X. So more details on PON would be appreciated if you have the time to do so?
  18. So I'm at the Doctor's and I get called in to her surgery. Hello what seems to be the trouble ? she asks. Morning Doctor. I've got this Discharge. Alright drop your Pants and Boxers and I'll have a Look So the Doctor looks and starts handling the Old Family Jewels. and things start to , well you know respond. Thankfully she stops and things start to settle down. Alright she says you can pull your Boxers and Pants back up. Now how was that? Very Nice I replied. Now this Discharge It's coming out of my Left Ear Doc.
  19. Beam Me Up @Scotty. Sorry couldn't resist. A very warm Welcome to you. You will find serious well informed and Daft Notts Fans on this site. Enjoy PON it's Grrreat. OOps there I go again
  20. @Robbie Don't think Notts are going to change their Model. Quote from Richard Montague. We also have every confidence in Matty's Ability to Embrace Our Style of Play. Doesn't sound like anything is Changing at the Lane on the Pitch. And as you say, Matty's biggest strength isn't his ball playing ability. So another player will have to adopt to Not Playing the way he's used to. Will that Affect His Game? Let's Hope Not.
  21. @Robbie @Fan of Big Tone Aye things move on, but sometimes not for the better . IMHO. A Manager would have his assistant and a staff of Scouting Personal, and that's would be all that was needed, regarding looking at potential Transfer Targets. A Manager would go to the Owner(s) and talk about a Player that they wanted to sign and they negotiated with the player and his representatives and a Deal was done, easier and more simpler, than having to jump through all the Hoops of today. Why do people make the Easy Hard and the Simple Difficult? It would also seem Head Coaches nowadays have all their talent flair and ideas Strangled for the sake of the Model (or Pep Ball.) For it would seem that Stuart Maynard was hired because when he was at Wealdstone, his team played in the same style of Luke Williams Notts Side. So we Fans need to ask would he have been chosen if, his Wealdstone team didn't play that way? Maynard came in for a lot of Stick because of not only the Magpies Poor results but playing a Style which wasn't working when Luke Williams left for Swansea. And yet it seems come Hell or High Water Notts will still play that same Style in the forthcoming Season, and if the Magpies results continue to Go South, Stuart Maynard will be the one who pays the Price by getting sacked, while those who insist on keeping Notts playing a losing Game Plan will Get Off Scott Free.
  22. The Term Manager seems to be slowly being eradicated from Football, to be replaced with the unflattering position name of Head Coach, and along with it the power or should that be a bigger say in team affaires, that a manager had. Interestingly the New New Man at Liverpool Arne Slot is the Head Coach, unlike his predecessor Jurgen Klopp who had the title of Manager. With the New name it also seems that a Head Coach is just that a Coach and it appears that unlike a Manager a Coach does Not have as much influence on things within the Club he works for. It comes across that a Head Coach doesn't have as much say in the signing of players, sure he can put forward his ideas and players he'd like in his team, but the last word on Transfers so it seems is down to the Recruitment team. Case in point Macca's signing before Luke Williams was revealed as the New Notts Head Coach. And what say does Stuart Maynard have regarding the signing of New Players? There will be Fans that will state that SM has a say in New Players coming to the Club, but does he really? After all can you see our Head Coach going into Richard Montague and saying Richard this new player you've got an eye on signing, I don't think he's the kind of guy who'll fit into the Notts way of playing. Do you think the reply would be Ok Stuart you're the Boss we'll look at somebody else. Nope, it would be well we've looked at his Data and We think he'll be the perfect fit. Answering my own question Does Stuart Maynard have a say in player transfer's ? Yes perhaps a small amount, but not the type of influence the likes of Jimmy Sirrel, Big Sam and Neil Warnock had when they were Manager down the Lane. Three Managers who brought Success to the Magpies. It would also seem that any New Coach going to a Club, who has a Playing Model in Place the New Coach has to follow that Model to the letter and Not add his own flair or ideas. It was stated that Roberto de Zerbi at Brighton left because Club wouldn't let him change the way they play, Albion finished 6th the season before last and 10th this. Zerbi saw where the team were failing but instead of allowing him to change things around he left by Mutual Consent. Yeah Right. Was it the same for Poch at Chelsea? He made changes at Chelsea towards the end of last season and things got better, But he moved away from the Chelsea Model, now he to is Out Of A Job. Manager or Head Coach? I know which I prefer.
  23. Tobi will be a good signing for Rochdale. He as a good turn of speed and as a Good Positive Attitude. It's a shame things didn't turn out well for him at Notts, what with his bad injury and little game time, to really show his full potential and push for a regular team spot. Good Luck Tobi, hope it turns out well for you.
  24. I remember back when I was at school, our Drama Group did our version of Treasure Island. There was me and another kid Malcom up for the part of Long John Silver. Thankfully Malc got the part. First day of rehearsal I noticed he wasn't there. So I said to the Drama Teacher Sir, where's Malcom? Oh he's in Hospital, having his left leg Amputated.
  25. When I was younger my Mum used to say There's always one weirdo on every bus But I could never find him. If the Actress Whoopi Goldberg married Master of Horror Peter Cushing. She be known as Whoopi Cushing. And if Claudia Schiffer married Brains from Thunderbirds. She be known as Claudia Schiffer Brains. Do you remember that Fox puppet on the tele Basil Brush. Did you know he had a German cousin Herr Brush ?
