You're not having much luck Tarkers. Hope it gets better!

You're not having much luck Tarkers. Hope it gets better!

I just wish they would advertise things better.....last Saturday pics, no commentary.......tonight the opposite....I don't mind if they just explain it better

[tarquinbeech]

Sounds like Notts are on top after 10 minutes

[tarquinbeech]

2 shots on target 54% possession

[tarquinbeech]

20 minutes 2 on target, 2 off target....57% possession

[tarquinbeech]

Yessssssssssssss

[SwalePie]

Grant hits the bar with a great effort set up by Forte

[americanpie]

Yesssssssss! !-0 Notts Grant!

[SwalePie]

1-0 Notts...Grant :)

[tarquinbeech]

Yessssssssssssss

Grant.....nice, I could see it coming.....we are well on top

[tarquinbeech]

Grant.....nice, I could see it coming.....we are well on top

365 is about 90 seconds ahead of iFollow.....I've got both running

[americanpie]

Why the heck was Grant not started on Saturday?

Btw Coventry losing 1-0 to Blackburn.

Brilliant save by Fitz.

[americanpie]

Biggest worry is this match reaching 90 minutes,
Slater keeps saying rain is hammering down.

[tarquinbeech]

Well done Notts....HT...Winning 1-0

[tarquinbeech]

Biggest worry is this match reaching 90 minutes,

I've got a weather radar up......the really heavy rain is drifting south-east

Hit animate and postcode zoom....you can see it's going to ease off

[AltyPie]

And all is well on Planet Pie...

In other good news I assume I'll be cashing in on my 5 quid bet at 14-1 on Grant to score first Notts goal...
Didn't read any conditions on it being match specific.

[americanpie]

Half time 8 shots.....4 on target!

Sounds a fantastic performance, both Charlie and Mark waxing lyrical.

[irishpete]

Talk about Chalk n cheese.Fair play to the lads taking their chance to shine.Trouble is will KN change the team again for Sat?

[tarquinbeech]

If he goes back to lumping it forward to Stead and Shola, I'm going to have a major meltdown.......Notts can play football, loads of young talent and HorHey sounds like he's playing a blinder

[LaxtonLad]

Half time 8 shots.....4 on target!

They are but I don't know if it's my imagination but Charlie doesn't seem to have the energy of Uncle Colin.

[AltyPie]

Have you got both video and sound working ok Tarkers?

[KeepTheMagpieFlyingH]

If he goes back to lumping it forward to Stead and Shola, I'm going to have a major meltdown.......Notts can play football, loads of young talent and HorHey sounds like he's playing a blinder

If the second half is anything like the first..got to be the end of Amoebi and Stead as a partnership.

[tarquinbeech]

Have you got both video and sound working ok Tarkers?

Just sound tonight Alty....no idea why no pics

[tarquinbeech]

If the second half is anything like the first..got to be the end of Amoebi and Stead as a partnership.

I've said it several times, that they are too much alike ......you need a nippy player like Stallard feeding off the knock-downs from one of them

[tarquinbeech]

Notts still well on top......60 minutes 9 shots 5corners......what a turnaround!

[tarquinbeech]

Notts still well on top......60 minutes 9 shots 5corners......what a turnaround!

Oops goal disallowed....phew

[MAD_MAGPIE]

It sounds like we are playing much better, having good chances and have the correct personnel in the starting 11 such as Grant and Milsom.

1-0 at half time away from home to League One opposition, in a sodden, wet and rainy S****hrope is good.

The test now is for our defence which we have not kept sufficient clean sheets for some seasons. Hopefully they can hold out and we can perhaps nick another goal and put this to bed.

Also fingers crossed the weather does not deteriorate and the game gets called off.

[tarquinbeech]

Oops goal disallowed....phew

I was sweating there....365 put the equaliser up......then removed it

The rain is heading south-east according to the 5-minute radar

You do realise that talking to yourself is the first sign of Madness. XD

[tarquinbeech]

10 more minutes and it's gone....lucky escape, it's lashing down 30 miles east

I wouldn't be too worried about it getting called off - no league points at stake here.
Good news is we've put a good half of footy together against a higher team and it sounds like we might have found a system that works a bit.

[tarquinbeech]

You do realise that talking to yourself is the first sign of Madness. XD

Yep......4 years in the Mexican boonies....and I'm still sane....almost

[60YearsAPie]

Just sound tonight Alty....no idea why no pics

Official twitter says: “Please note tonight's game is not available for live streaming on iFollow due to broadcasting rights but live audio commentary is available.”

Just got in. Great turn around from Saturday by the looks of things. Loads of changes as well.

[tarquinbeech]

Scunny peno

[MAD_MAGPIE]

For goodness sake. Why do we always shoot ourselves in the foot, giving away a penalty. We never learn.

[americanpie]

Bugger. Bugger, Bugger,

[tarquinbeech]

Scunny peno

1-1

[tarquinbeech]

It's a shame that they didn't explain that on the official site.....the site where I paid my dosh....grrrrrr

[irish_pie]

1-1

Madden penalty... 1-1 :( Hawkridge with the foul

[americanpie]

They are but I don't know if it's my imagination but Charlie doesn't seem to have the energy of Uncle Colin.

I agree Charlie is quite good, but.......There's only one Colin Slater.

[60YearsAPie]

Tootle on for Hunt.

[tarquinbeech]

Fitz playing an absolute blinder

[americanpie]

Another close call, good save by Fitz.

[60YearsAPie]

Smith on for Stead!

[tarquinbeech]

Another close call, good save by Fitz.

Commentators loving Fitz......"incredible save"

[60YearsAPie]

Attendance 1,874. Not many more than we took to Coventry on Saturday.

[BigFatPie]

We've got through how many players in the last three years and Smith is still getting on the pitch.

Kin ell.

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Fitz playing an absolute blinder

Just made another good save. Sounds like we have a promising contender for the number 1 spot. Collin will need to be on top of his game.

[tarquinbeech]

Another save by Fitz....loving it

[irish_pie]

We've got through how many players in the last three years and Smith is still getting on the pitch.

Kin ell.

Its a total mystery :(

[americanpie]

Why, oh why was I born a Notts supporter?

[BigFatPie]

Skilfully avoided extra time.

[MAD_MAGPIE]

I appreciate it's a game against higher opposition but it's the same old problems of conceding two goals a game another late goal and shooting ourselves in the foot. Why do so many of our teams do this?

We really do not do ourselves any favours? 3 goals already this season conceded in the last 10 minutes. Two at Coventry, one tonight.

I'm happy with the performance, but individual errors have let us down again.

[tarquinbeech]

5 minutes injury time

[tarquinbeech]

Skilfully avoided extra time.

I didn't think there was injury time?

[tarquinbeech]

Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Oldstripy]

2 - 2 Brisley

[kingmasson]

Skilfully avoided extra time.

My view is the polar opposite, a third round game v Man U or the likes can make a club like Notts in this day and age.

This isn't a Mickey Mouse cup.

[SwalePie]

Brisley equalises!

EDIT: OOPS just realised I'm too late with this news :)

[irish_pie]

2 - 2 Brisley

Good god :)

[tarquinbeech]

I didn't think there was injury time?

Obviously I was wrong.....I thought it was the new penno format ie 2 pennos ahead wins?

[JoePass]

;D

[irish_pie]

Is it a replay after a draw?

[tarquinbeech]

Well done Notts.....awesome, ****ing awesome

[MAD_MAGPIE]

So at 2-2 I stand by what I said about the performance. We seem to have that fight and never say die attitude today which is a good sign.

What are our defence doing? Fitz saves the day at the death. I tell you what being a Notts fan is not good for the heart. XD

[tarquinbeech]

Well done Notts.....awesome, ****ing awesome

Fitz again....incredible

[tarquinbeech]

Is it a replay after a draw?

I think it's the new penno format.....2 pennos ahead wins.....not sure

[irish_pie]

Fitz again....incredible

I posted up when we signed this chap that a friend of mine is a Bolton fan and was miffed why he never got much of a chance because hes a cracking keeper... could be the signing of the summer for us

[irish_pie]

I think it's the new penno format.....2 pennos ahead wins.....not sure

Cheers as always Tarq :)

[60YearsAPie]

Looks like we've found a defender who's useful at corners.

Be interesting to see the starting line-up on Saturday.

[BigFatPie]

My view is the polar opposite, a third round game v Man U or the likes can make a club like Notts in this day and age.

This isn't a Mickey Mouse cup.

I was being a bit sarky tbh, but anyway it was about as accurate as my football predictions normally are!

[tarquinbeech]

Is it a replay after a draw?

Definitely pennos.....no replay

[Warnocks Legends]

Great to see some spark and right in the team.Come on Notts make us all proud tonight

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Definitely pennos.....no replay

Yes it's the new ABBA format. So team a, then b, then b, then a, and so on.

[Warnocks Legends]

Still not sure why Smith is in the side again though, need to use some of the the other players we have built up

[tarquinbeech]

Notts 13 shots and 10 corners.......it's incredible

[tarquinbeech]

Yes it's the new ABBA format. So team a, then b, then b, then a, and so on.

If you go 2 pennos ahead....is it all over?

[Warnocks Legends]

Really encouraging to see us not Afraid to go forward away from home against higher opposition.Lets hope. This bodes well for the future

[60YearsAPie]

If you go 2 pennos ahead....is it all over?

I reckon each side still takes 5 - ABBAABBAAB

[irish_pie]

I hope we can get to that first :)

[DomdomPie]

I hope we can get to that first :)

I hope we can score so we don't need to!

[tarquinbeech]

Really encouraging to see us not Afraid to go forward away from home against higher opposition.Lets hope. This bodes well for the future

This game gives KN some food for thought on Saturday......this team sounds fantastic

[irish_pie]

I hope we can score so we don't need to!

Yes a better scenario sir

[60YearsAPie]

4 subs used. Have we ever used 4 before?

[Warnocks Legends]

After the display on Saturday and the response tonight , let's hope he doesn't do too much thinking and rewards those who have put in the effort tonight😀

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Cruel to concede a third when a player is down injured.

Regardless of the outcome now there are lot's of positives and food for thought for Saturday.

How this game has not been postponed is beyond me.

[tarquinbeech]

Notts player down injured.....Scunny go on to score....mmmmm

[Warnocks Legends]

Damn !!! Just our bloody luck, undeserved

[tarquinbeech]

4 subs used. Have we ever used 4 before?

3 in normal time...plus one in extra time?......no idea if we've done it before

[SwalePie]

Notts player down injured.....Scunny go on to score....mmmmm

I know they're not obliged to 'do the decent thing' but it isn't very sporting is it?

[Warnocks Legends]

Not very sporting at all!!!!

[tarquinbeech]

I know they're not obliged to 'do the decent thing' but it isn't very sporting is it?

Nope....especially as it was a defender, calling out for attention

[Warnocks Legends]

Still when you live in such a depressing town as S****horpe one has to take any stroke of luck comes your way

[AltyPie]

Is there a good reason why Smith is still even in the playing squad?

[Warnocks Legends]

You gotta love 21st century technology , scunny is a real word , I wasnt trying to be crude and sneak in the C word footymad!!!

[tarquinbeech]

Is there a good reason why Smith is still even in the playing squad?

Yes....he used to play for England, when we played with a leather football and laces that indented your forehead.....those were the days

[Warnocks Legends]

Is there a good reason why Smith is still even in the playing squad? yes he gives Kev's car. Decent valet before matches to keep his place in the side

[Oldstripy]

3 - 3 Yates

[americanpie]

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!!

[tarquinbeech]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss....hahahah a

[AltyPie]

Smith will score the winner now... That's why I asked of course...

[irish_pie]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss....hahahah a

Get in!!!!!!

[irish_pie]

Smith will score the winner now... That's why I asked of course...

Brilliant!

[kingmasson]

Is there a good reason why Smith is still even in the playing squad?

Yes, because he has a mammoth wealth of experience. He's probably on something stupid like £300/£400 a week and is invaluable as a coach ..... and every year he continues on a playing contract he extends his PFA pension for another year ... do I need to say anymore?.

[Warnocks Legends]

Omg who would of believed it? Full marks for keeping going Notts, brave brave performance lads

[AltyPie]

Yes, because he has a mammoth wealth of experience. He's probably on something stupid like £300/£400 a week and is invaluable as a coach ..... and every year he continues on a playing contract he extends his PFA pension for another year ... do I need to say anymore?.

None of those reasons benefit us on the pitch.. Let me change the question - why is he on the pitch?
Maybe cos he takes a good penno...
(As I say - he'll now score the winner...)

[Oldstripy]

FT pennos

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Omg who would of believed it? Full marks for keeping going Notts, brave brave performance lads

I've been impressed with the performance on the whole this evening. It's more reminiscent of a Kevin Nolan Notts side of last season when we were in play-off form. It's the never say die or lay down and die attitude.

Now it's time to see how this new penalty format works.

[tarquinbeech]

Awesome...Awesome....Awesome....Terrific Notts....3-3 full time

[51Magpie]

Flash Scores can't keep up now. It still says they're playing ET (120+)

And just as I posted that, they updated to "Penalties"

[AltyPie]

Does anyone understand this new penno format?

[tarquinbeech]

Omg who would of believed it? Full marks for keeping going Notts, brave brave performance lads

I feel so proud after that sad performance at Covo......let's win it now.....COYP

[tarquinbeech]

Does anyone understand this new penno format?

ABBA........A first, then two BB's, two AA's etc

[Warnocks Legends]

It's a total lottery now but Notts have earned the right to be there no matter what happens now

[60YearsAPie]

Brings back memories of that 3-3 at the City Ground, with Wes Morgan’s late equaliser.

Hughesy had a penalty to win the game and missed.

[queenslandpie]

Flash Scores can't keep up now. It still says they're playing ET (120+)

And just as I posted that, they updated to "Penalties"

Nice way to get out of bed come on notts

[tarquinbeech]

Notts 1-0

[MAD_MAGPIE]

So Notts are team A to go first with a penalty scored by Smith. Now two penalties for S-c-u-n-thorpe.

[tarquinbeech]

1-1

[tarquinbeech]

2-1 Scunny

[SwalePie]

So Notts are team A to go first with a penalty scored by Smith. Now two penalties for S-c-u-n-thorpe.

Is that Smudge's first ever competitive Notts goal?

[tarquinbeech]

2-2

[MAD_MAGPIE]

So now it's 2-1 to S****horpe as they have scored both. Curtis Thompson next and he has scored. So it's 2-2.

Now Rob Milsom to take and scores. So 3-2 to Notts.

[AltyPie]

Nice way to get out of bed come on notts

Slackers you lot over there across the Tasman... We've been up and at 'em for three hours under the long white cloud.

[tarquinbeech]

Notts 3-2

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Now 3-3. So another penalty for S-c-u-n-thorpe.

[queenslandpie]

Slackers you lot over there across the Tasman... We've been up and at 'em for three hours under the long white cloud.

Sheep shagger

[tarquinbeech]

3-3

[MAD_MAGPIE]

So now S-c-u-n-t-horpe lead 4-3. Now two penalties to Notts.

4-4.

[tarquinbeech]

4-4

[AltyPie]

Smith scored first penno - I have my answer.

[MAD_MAGPIE]

Now Forte get's Notts 5th. 5-4 to Notts.

[Oldstripy]

4 - 4 smith, Thompson. Milsom. Brisley
4 - 5 Forte

[tarquinbeech]

5-5

[AltyPie]

Sheep shagger

That's a baaaaaaaad joke.

[MAD_MAGPIE]

So S-c-u-n-t-horpe now have two penalties. They score, now 5-5.

So now it's 6-5 to S-c-u-n-thorpe.

[AltyPie]

BBC can't keep up - Tarkers is quicker....

[Oldstripy]

Tootle misses 6 - 5

[uysapie]

Great effort tonight.

[MAD_MAGPIE]

The first miss from Tootle and that's it game over. 6-5 on penalties.

I'm proud of the lads tonight. They have performed well against a side that was knocking on the door of the Championship last season and they have done themselves proud.

I don't mind us loosing if we give our all, and tonight in the wet, sodden S-c-u-n-t-horpe we did just that.

[eyepie]

Sounded very good.

[tarquinbeech]

Unlucky Notts....I'm very very proud of them....well done

[AltyPie]

Direct from BBC:
"Notts County win 5-5 on penalties"

[DomdomPie]

BBC reckon Notts won 5-5 on penos(?)! Good job I was listening too!

[tarquinbeech]

Commentators are literally drooling over that performance

[queenslandpie]

Unlucky Notts....I'm very very proud of them....well done

Good job anything can happen in a peno situation some tired legs now and we can concentrate on the league etc I'm going to do a days work bye.

[DomdomPie]

Direct from BBC:
"Notts County win 5-5 on penalties"

Ha ha beat me to it!

[Notts78]

More minutes in legs 🤔... credit where due, well played lads.

[60YearsAPie]

Great performance tonight. How often do you see the first 10 penalties scored?

As I and one or two others have already said; it will be interesting to see the starting line-up on Saturday.

[tarquinbeech]

Commentators are literally drooling over that performance

Charlie....."a truly truly remarkable evening"......love it

Goodnight all.....I'm off to sink a few pints....toodle pip

[irish_pie]

Commentators are literally drooling over that performance

The question is can we follow it up in the league... just a shame we cant seem to have a decent cup run in the last few years
