NottsToTalkAbout

What can you say about this guy. 200 up at Meadow Lane. Dropped out the Football League to come and play for us in the National League in 2021. Now finds himself playing for us almost six years later, just in League One instead. A 2x promotion winning captain at Notts County, and now into his sixth season in our colours. Might not be the same Matty Palmer in terms of importance upon the current squad, but it’s the same Matty Palmer that has been integral to the club’s rise over the years. Modern Day Notts County legend is the exact title to use, because I can assure you we will be waiting a while for another player to be here as long as he has been. Bloody legend. 🤍 #Notts

Wouldn’t normally do this but I feel like it’s worthy. @footballontnt this man is a credit to your team. Probably his hardest day at work yet yesterday in terms of being able to do his job but he was a class act throughout. Told us what was going on when he had a better view than us. Told us who had won the coin toss and was taking the first penalty. Was asked a number of times , and even sometimes he shrugged too. 🤣 You can go about yesterday two ways, be grumpy that it has impacted your ability to do your job or just embrace it and become part of the moments in time. How you should be is exactly how he was. Became another truly wonderful part of what was the most wonderfully bizarre game of football I had ever attended yesterday. Bravo sir. 👏

We only knew we were through when the lights in the home end went down. What a shootout! The FA Cup ladies and gentlemen. 👏

I would just like to say. James Belshaw has just had to turn around to the away end to let us know we have got a corner. Magic of the FA Cup.

30 more minutes @EmiratesFACup we cannot see the other goal. Notts away, can’t see it! 🎶

Tomorrow is an exciting one for me. It’s a call-back to where we used to be, and where they found us. What would’ve been a National League fixture in 2023 is now a National League v League One FA Cup R1 tie in 2026. But a bloody lovely reminder of just how far they have taken us. And again, I’ll say it… Bloody legends. 🤍 #Notts

Evening @SwansOfficial, if that lad Tom Iorpenda needs a loan this January for some game time, you know where you can find us. I’m sure you’ve still got Richard Montague’s contact details. Thank you. 👍

No matter how dizzy our heights are in the next few years, I will ALWAYS think about how good this guy was for Notts County in the 25/26 promotion season. Genuinely unforgettable. 🐐

Bit of an unsung hero since his return for me. I do think he is a huge contributing factor as to why the backline has been increasingly stronger over the past few games. My admiration for him grew significantly when it was told that he played through the play-offs on injections, not training just playing, and was an absolute rock in all three games. But I also think he is absolutely timeless, and one of those who again always makes this Notts County team stronger when he is available. One of those that makes every player around him better too. I love the bloke. Go on, Rodney! 🧱 #Notts

Pies. 🤍 #Notts

I’ll conclude this fine weekend here. Rory Finneran. Yesterday was his 10th game for Notts. His 10th as a League One footballer. He has had some start to the season. • 811 minutes played already. • 1 goal and 2 assists. • A memorable international break with Ireland u21, beating England. • Endless performances worthy of being Man of the Match. I don’t think a loan could’ve started any better, has been and no doubt will continue to be a joy to watch. For me, established himself so quickly as a very good footballer for this level. Cheers again, @NUFC. He has got one MASSIVE future ahead of him. 🇮🇪💫 #Notts

He’s currently irreplaceable and integral to the way this football team plays football.

Been going home and away now the past 8 years of my life, barely missed a fixture. Play-Off games included I’ve never been apart of an away end like that yesterday. That was something truly special. 🤍

I’m so damn proud of the Notts County we’ve seen in the past few games. The bounce back from the bad run has been a credit to this man. Notts County 2-0 Sheffield Wednesday. Notts County 1-1 Stockport County. Stags 0-2 Notts County. I couldn’t have asked for more. But the Gaffer, and what you have provided us so far in your reign. Beating Chesterfield in the Play-Offs. Getting promoted at Wembley. Beating that lot away today. Three GREAT memories I’ll never forget already. Keep on keeping on Mr Grumpy. Because you’re great. 👑 #Notts

When he first joined I thought we might’ve made a mistake. Now I watch him and I think he is the absolute dogs bollocks. Gets better every single damn game. So so so soooooooo good. ISHE SAMUELS-SMITH. 🤍 #Notts

MAN OF THE MATCH. I said it last week, and I’ll say it again. A miles better version of us when he is playing. What a bloody good footballer. 🤍 #Notts

WE ARE NOTTS FUCKING COUNTY.

WE ARE NOTTS COUNTY.

I would absolutely give the world and more to win tomorrow’s game. All I ask is that they turn up, and understand what a win would mean for the fans. Just go and beat them. Pies. 🤍

115 Notts games and counting. Never injured. Never suspended. Always available. No matter how many times a back three changes, one thing always stays the same. And that is him starting. Every week. Every game. Seriously good footballer. 🇬🇩 #Notts
