The Notts fans were in good voice today. Heard them at the start, when I was cleaning my windows, on their penalty shout, when we were having lunch at Sneinton Market and for their winning goal, when we were walking back along the canal. Spoke to some, spilling out of Meadow Lane, and tried to put the curse of the football gods on them by saying "You've got this in the bag, now." Fair play - they weren't having any of it.
This is strange... There's a tractor chugging across their training ground in Lady Bay right this second, reseeding the pitches. All the grass has gone. No training this week???

They're not wrong. Nothing in that challenge.
Ha ha
-
It's a very soft penalty but once he's given it he has to show red, because it's undeniably a clear goalscoring opportunity. There was no attempt to play the ball, so there's no double jeopardy.

I was down t'lane for most of the game. I missed the equaliser as I was in the cattle market loading the girls into the truck (farming joke there for you) and I missed the winner as I was arguing with my eldest that despite this going on longer than promised a penalty shoot out would make it all worth while. It was a fun afternoon out, I wouldn't say the atmosphere was stand out but then we are spoilt at the WFCG and a full stadium of that size for the 5th tier is nothing to be sneezed at, particularly when playing a pub side most football fans wouldn't be able to point to on a map. I hope Nottingham's 3rd team tump Derby's 3rd team but my interest doesn't stretch to a trip to London. The games i have been to though the football has been pretty good though with a human non-leaugeness that makes it more relatable.

Apparently the sheep aren't allowed to spend any of the money they may raise from selling players this summer, they're still under the league's financial restrictions imposed as part of their exit from administration. So if Knight, Sibley, Cashin or any of their other young players decide they've had enough of wallowing in L1 and want to play at a higher level, the club will face having to sell them and then presumably give the money to their creditors.

Stags missed out on the playoffs by a single goal on goal difference.
The boy Harbottle scored today.
-
Watching Milwall v Blackburn because my sky subscription doesn’t give me Leicester. It is a bad game of football. But I think we were pretty bad in the last few games of last season, Sheffield United away aside.
-
Millwall have just scored a hilarious goal from an Ollie Burke punt though.
-
Yesterday Derby did a Forest and today it was Millwall's turn. All they had to do today was win and playoffs were guaranteed, they were 3-1 up with almost half the game done but they've managed to choke it away and let Sunderland in.
-
Watching Luton v Sunderland. Luton have just equalised but this is bad football.
-
Staying up next year should be easier?
-
Luton 2-0 now. Leading the tie.
Luton were annoying cunts when we played them in the last couple of seasons, but between them or Sunderland coming up, I'm going Luton please.
-
If this is the third best team in the championship, then if we get relegated, anything less than 138 points next season would be a miserable failure with everyone being sacked.
-
We are a much better side than we were a year ago (even for those who pine for Djed/Garner/Keinan/Brice) playing against much tougher opposition.
The worry about relegation is not just that some of the best players leave (or don't extend loans) but that we can get dragged down to playing at our former level. This is where Fulham and Burnley have done well…by establishing a playing style that guarantees promotion and sets up for success the following season.
