Journeyman who had a good end to the season. His career record doesn't suggest he is anything special & knowing a few Notts fans I don't think they are overly bothered about his release. I'm always wary of signing players who do well against us as we naturally think that is their usual level of...

Stanmore is definitely good for anyone travelling from Cov, & from where you can then get the train (oyster card seriously reduces prices). If you get there early enough you don't necessarily need to park in the station & face the inevitable long queue to leave, as there is street parking too...

I would have thought that for anyone travelling from the Longford/ Holbrooks/ Bedworth side of town that travelling from Nuneaton station might be a better option fot a less chaotic journey.

Not sure if the 'bitter blue' comment was suggesting Nolan is/ was an Everton fan, but my Everton supporting mate who watched the game with me on Friday was adamant that Nolan was a 'red'. He was slating him at every opportunity & loved that his anti football style got its just rewards.

Completely agree. The best goal scorers are those that accept they will miss chances, but are able to then put that behind them the next time they get a chance. Ponticelli seems to be that type. I don't think he worries about missed chances and I would be more confident about him converting a...

It's gonna be a nervy night & I can't see it being anything but a tight affair. Not betting on this as we always lose if I bet on us, but 11/1 for us to win on penalties looks a decent shout.

Not sure about Kelly - has he any history of taking them at previous clubs? He strikes me as the sort of player that will look to gently place one in the corners rather than put his laces through it ie the sort of old pro who regularly turns out to be the type to miss in these occasions. Can't...

Pretty sure I remember Doyle scoring a pen in his 1st spell with us.

Vincenti, Shipley & Ponticelli scored in the Checktrade game at Walsall (McNulty missed)

Always amazes me how many football fans don't seem to know the basic rules/ laws of the game.

I have been to Meadow Line 4 times when we've played them & we've lost the lot, 2-1 & 5-1 in the early 80's - in the latter game Justin Fashanu destroyed us. 1-0 in the early 90's when Don Howe was managing us (awful game) & a woeful 3-0 defeat a few years back when they had Jack Grealish...

Ponticelli might not be the best footballer we have, but is far and away the best finisher in the club. I don't think he would be phased in the slightest at taking a penalty, or the possibility & repercussions of missing one. Take a look at his penalty in the shoot out at Walsall earlier this...

For no other reason than I have a gut feeling this is gonna end in penalties, I would start the same team & leave potential penalty takers like JCH & Ponti to come on to help win the shoot out.

Yes I guess initially players would deliberately look to hit the ball against the hand, which does seem to happen in hockey whenever I've seen it,, but after a short while I think defenders & forwards would adapt their skill sets to deal with it. I don't know enough about hockey to be sure about...

He might not have deliberately handled it as such, but when you are waving your hands above your head (which he did deliberately) and the ball hits your hand you are treading a fine line. I've never liked the 'deliberate' angle to handball decisions as its open to different interpretations of...

As Grendel says I think it almost certain the pitch had been watered (probably heavily) & the rain that followed took the ground staff by surprise. Having said that having watched football in the 70's I didn't think it was unsafe or unplayable. Unfortunately though it affected us more than...

In my teen years wearing colours was seen as naff and 'scarfers' was a term of ridicule for those that did. Things started to change when Keegan managed Newcastle & their whole support seemed to start wearing replica shirts. Anyhow I know its ridiculous & times have moved on but I have never...

It clearly means we can't trust season ticket holders to wisely use the extra tickets they get entitled to. May as well just entitle season ticket holders to their own ticket and no more as the borish behavour at Cheltenham, Forest Green & MK was obviously all down to Season Ticket holders &...

Didn't we have a penalty shoot out at Walsall earlier this season? Can't think who took the penalties though!

Even though I generally preferred RCC over Burge, RCC never got near a penalty until that Swansea game - always seemed to commit too early & make it easy for the taker.
