Long hair blue top? He had Nolan laughing at the nonsense he was shouting the other week from just behind the dugout, didn't see him second half last night so he might have moved down.

Sounds much like the bloke I saw v wigan , he was in the Pavis singing his head off & people kept moving seats to avoid him He was also at Coventry & I saw him walking through Netho with his Notts shirt on last week. He seems harmless enough & certainly gets behind the team but strangely for one so fanatical I haven't seen him before this season

"... winning headers without actually jumping ..."
And which coaching manual teaches that one ...!!! (controls laughter) If, as you say, his whole game depends upon this then we are mostly defending with a back line of three. You are entitled to your opinion and may say he's 'done fine' but it begs the question if you actually see him play ...

I thought Duffy had a solid game last night and there's nobody currently at the club I would rather take his place!
If you watch the second goal, the ball is dropping towards Duffy where he stands. The striker is running to challenge so will always win the ball with momentum.
I think Duffy knew he wasn't going to win it so tried to buy the free kick but it didn't work.

How can you say he played fine Ancient?
He committed a reckless challenge to concede a free kick from which they scored their first goal. Caught too square rather than being 10 yards deeper and able to get across and hold the player up. Then unprepared for the physicality required of a Div 4 centre half decides to feign a foul for their second. He was bullied by almost every centre forward last year and will be again. Time for him to F*** off. We'll not make the play offs with him. He must **** himself in training facing Shola!!!

Who? What? Where? Not me my son, but it does sound like Duffy is becoming the new Hollis.

I'm not saying I agree with it or that it's a good talent, merely that he does it, watch him play, he puts a hand in the back of the striker and then tries to head it without jumping, it works surprisingly often and he was doing okay against Accrington until he tried to win a free kick and it cost us.

I'm the person that started the "Duffy is our worst ever defender" thread last season and posted in it most weeks whenever he was at fault for a goal... So for me to say he's been okay since Nolan came in is quite a big leap

I have a suspicion that The-Mac pie might just be a long-haired owner of a blue top.....

For years and years there was a guy sat about a third of the way up Z-block, we nicknamed him Frank due to his uncanny likeness to Frank Butcher off Eastenders.

All he did every game was moan "F**king rubbish Notts"...."****e ball Notts" and "Pathetic Notts"......even if we scored, it was "We got lucky there Notts"...it was actually quite comical.

Once my mate shouted up to him "Why do you even bother coming Frank"?.....his answer was "I haven't got anything better to do....plus I want to be here when we finally learn to play f**king football"

ps If you're still around Frank.......I was the guy near the front of Z-block with my mate and 3 or 4 kids,who spent the whole game going back and to to the food stands for chips, burgers, cokes and chocolate........no wonder I'm skint...ish!!
