Taking the Knee

[Magpies1959]

I did get a little confused with SmiffyPie's post, as my understanding of WASP is that it means We Are *** Perverts . WASP were also an ace rock band.

As someone who had derided this post when it appeared, I can whole heartily say that I can fully get behind that. Are you suggesting that I need to get my kids Citizenship to Greenland?

Svalbard looks promising...

Good to hear your positivity 59. Both Notts and NCM have been noticeably improving over the past months.

I too share you optimism in regards to the owners, and I'm also a big fan of IB. I've been impressed since he arrived.

IB hasn't achieved anything yet.

Take away the semi-hijacking by the radical side of BLM, taking the knee is the first worldwide recognisable gesture against racism and the centuries of discrimination, exploitation and racial prejudice and it should be treated with the respect it's cause deserves. Are those that do not agree with that gesture racist? No, not necessarily, they are probably tired of the implication that they have to do it or else! Are those that boo the gesture racist?.

Perhaps they sre just fed up with it? Meaningless gesture, it isn't going to change anything.

Other than getting considerably more out of certain players than his predecessor. He's changed the entire system/formation, the complete style of play which the vast majority of fans (using NCM, Facebook group as guides only) seem to prefer, and along with owners has injected real enthusiasm and hope back into the club and fanbase mainly through a series of excellent honest and insightful interviews covering a wide variety of topics.

Not bad for a PE teacher , to date have you not been impressed uysapie?

What he obviously hasn't achieved is promotion, but nobody at Notts has since Cotterill over a decade ago. And then a another full decade before that with Big Sam.

I'm sure he knows that's the big one, that's the one he needs to achieve to stay in the job.

A bit off topic but needed saying #bandwagon

Apart from improving us in the style of play to a modern game once they'd had more than 3 training sessions, the training sessions have improved no end both tactically and participants enjoyment, has a much better and positive attitude, has brought in players we should be bringing in for this level who can grow with us and hopefully get a profit on if we sell, he's improved some players beyond recognition, he changes games to go and win them instead of hold on for the point.

I think he'll have had a hand in the new training analysis system and he's also partly responsible for actually feeling like a football club again to be taken seriously which will also translate into season ticket sales. Even the players who've left said after Ardley went and he came it is was chalk and cheese and they actually enjoyed playing again. Ardley used to think how don't we lose whereas IB thinks how can we win. To say he's done nothing is wrong and might lead to people calling for his head after 2 loses. He's not won anything with Notts but not many do, I can only judge by what I see on and off the pitch and he's done alot in the short time he's been here.

Singing off the same hymn sheet as far as the new manager is concerned CF

[crazyfists]

Agreed.

Looking forward to the new season with more hope than usual.
