Where are they now : Matty Virtue
i did not rate him, i thought he looked lost on the pitch and never really did much with his time i felt frustrated because we could have given the game time to someone else who might have been productive. i hope hes improved a lot since his days here.

Defender Rod McDonald Joins Notts
he looks to be a great signing with a lot of experience and right characteristics which makes him very important for pushing for promotion. i think the media team might be over doing it a little, but no doubts its a great signing and i understand that they are after people to buy season tickets/excite us fans. i already am excited about the new season!

San Sirrel's pitch looking fab
it makes me even more prouder to be a notts fan, its truly stunning and all the work that has gone into it, i very much appreciate it.

Rod McDonald Eager to Reunite with Former Teammates at Notts County
cedwyn scott and jodi jones should be able to help rod mcdonald settle at notts, he sounds like hes ready to get going and i think its a very good signing. the height in the defence now, should be we are better at dealing with set pieces and the aerial threats.

England vs Slovakia
i must admit i less bothered about watching england than notts, but i do like watching important games and i am hopeful they can put together a good performance. i will be watching.

Where are they now : Adam Campbell
good player, decent turn of skill and pace. i prefer him as a striker than midfield but he has done well since leaving us.

Lack of movement on Notts's transfer listed
the club are probably trying to work on this, but i can see one or two going out on loan. randall and rawlinson, but i think we will be stuck with stone. they all need to be playing, rawlinson has done his job and will be remembered for all his efforts.

England v Slovenia, Pre & post Match Analysis.
i dont like how we seem to be pinning our hopes on luke shaw, i think its good that he was able to train but throwing him in at this stage it does seem to be rushing things. i think england will do better, but i dont expect a full 90 minutes of great play. 2-0 would be my prediction. i can see an own goal happening too, but fingers crossed england do a well enough job that things do start to improve.

Joe Kinnear's daughter says heading contributed to his death
i think its just awful that dementia is still not fully understood but at least some changes have been made. i would not be surprised that it can lead or increase the chances of various dementia illnesses. i do agree with @Chris, suing over it is not right and i would think it can take away from a persons legacy due to the way things can take over. its just very, very sad.

American Pie
last time i messaged him, he mentioned that he wanted to visit his family in the uk and visit other places. he might be making the most of his retirement and health issues by taking this chance whilst he can. at least i hope so.

Notts County Secure Defensive Reinforcement with Rod McDonald Signing
he looks handy and tall, which should help with the aerial threats. i am pleased to see we have brought in some experience at the back because it should help the defence out.
-
Stuart Maynard catch up
agreed @ARLukomski. he looked extremely worried for a long spell last season, like he was under pressure and whilst some fans were trying their hardest to get him sacked. i think the club did well to give him the time to learn, i think we should see improvements. its easier to make the right decisions when you are calm, where as panicking gets you nowhere.

Does the England Team Have Tactical Issues?
i think we all know how we would like england to play and the squad are capable, they just need to put the effort in and manage the game better. watching england has been a lot like watching notts in the spells last season when we lack energy going forward. the lack of quality and creativity is surprising.

A Faux Pas By The Nest?
its good the club are trying different things but i hope they still offer things which are to the fussy people like myself. all this fancy food at football sort of annoys me more than seeing hipster notts fans.

Hello Up the Maggies
hello, @Up the Maggies. welcome to pon!

Would you welcome back, Tom Crawford?
@Fan of Big Tone he had spells when he would come on and get chances away, there was a few games after he scored where he was class. i would welcome him back. i was disappointed we let him go because his potential seemed good. i would welcome him back, but i think the club may be looking elsewhere.

Meadow Lane Revamped: Notts County Unveils Premier League-Standard Pitch
honestly, we are very lucky right now. we have great owners, the club is ran well with passionate staff and we have one of the best groundstaffs in the football league. they have done an amazing job, they do every season but this is just extra special.

Julian Larsson joins Burton Albion
i have never heard of him but reading his wiki, hes 23 and does not have many starts to his name. hes certainly an unknown to me, but i do wish burton well. forests academy is pretty decent, so i am sure he will be capable.

England's team visit to an orphanage
i think we can all see it when they have played, hope that we can start to silence the doubters and improve with stronger performances. this is a funny tweet tho. ????

England The New Excuse
england does need to show signs of improvements come tuesday, whatever excuses are being used. focus on doing better is a must, i think its pressure and confidence, but the only way to combat that is to try to play better football. leading into the tournament england looked just fine, so i dont see why being tired is a reasonable excuse.

Sam Allardyce as Wales Manager?
i still dont see him being suited to wales, that is nothing against his management style but if he is to return to management. he needs to find a league team that he can build and stick around with. did he takeover mark hughes at blackburn? if i am right he did okay with them but he has never come close to repeating his success at bolton.
-
Sam Allardyce as Wales Manager?
i think its a desperate move on part of wales, they have some very good players but as a squad they are weaker than scotland. they would do better if they hired someone who knows the welsh game, someone like mark hughes or tony pullis. i think most would identify gareth southgate as being the better coach, he falls short in the manager department but as a coach he is clearly wise beyond his years. big sam in more into strong management, being organised and building a team that is together in spirit. a lot less on the coaching, but he has the better record in the game. it does not necessarily mean hes better all round. gutter press yes, but he knew what he was doing and what he did was morally wrong. you dont get caught doing something like this and not hurt your reputation. the fact he knew how to bend things and that he was advising ways around it, its very dubious. hes lucky that hes smart enough to know how legally speak about the methods without incriminating himself properly. because he only spoke about 'ways' around breaking the laws, the fact he was advising someone and knew how suggests that he breached the trust of his then position, tried to advice on unfair advantages and derogatory comments towards others in football. morally and ethically, he did wrong. if a person was to talk about ways of how you could get away with murder, just as advice, how would you possibly trust them?

Newfoundland and Labrador sponsor AFC Barrow
there are better teams in the national league they could sponsor, maybe even league one/two.

Where are they now : Montel Gibson
i hope he settles down for hereford because his wiki seems to be full of moves, which is something i dont think helps players. hes now old enough to do well given the time and if he settles. he should do just fine, if he wants to play higher he needs to work for it.

Where are they now : Pierce Bird
good luck to him, the national league south is a difficult league to escape from but that applies for the north and main division. i just hope he enjoys his time there and does well. i always thought he was okay at notts, nothing amazing but reliable enough.
