As Einstein's said: “Time is relative; its only worth depends upon what we do as it is passing.”

These sort of jobs always refer to data. Without wishing to be rude to people who like this sort of thing, data analysis is easy. What is difficult is converting it into information.

The fact that Byfield was our top gol scorer was one of the reasons we didn’t go up automatically. Promotion teams need goals

I wouldn’t want him back. He left in less than harmonious circumstances. Later a City manager (forget who it was) arranged for him to come to Ashton Gate to discuss re-signing and he just didn’t bother to turn up, but joked about it

Thanks - you’ve really cheered me up with that accurate summary

Deep joy

I don’t regard Mebude as being a footballer. He’s in the same class as Ali Dia

I live in hope, but it’s the hope that kills you Severn Beach standard

The big question is, how much do you have to pay if you want a good attacking midfielder and you want promotion? I haven’t a clue what the figure is, but if City are serious it can’t just be signings from Leagues 1&2

Rotherham have only won 4 games all season, none away with a goal difference of -53. This can only mean one thing……….

When City signed Evander Sno I thought it was an amazing coup as he had been superb for Ajax against City in a friendly a couple of months before. He was better than the others mentioned in this thread but was a big disappointment. A bit like JET - on his day a world beater, on other days a panel beater

When he started playing regularly for the City first team he looked as though he had a great career ahead of him. Then it went pear shaped. It can’t be ability as he demonstrated he had it. As with a lot of jobs you need more than natural ability to be successful

Don’t forget Keith Weller’s white tights!

They were in there most days throughout the season fuelled on courage director’s bitter. Maybe it’s the time to include it in the present teams training program at the HPC

Yes, because with Cotts in charge it will be a great promotion season with exciting football

Fantastic, as ever, @Jerseybean but you’ve missed one famous fact about Norwich - i.e Kemps jig. Will Kemp was a contemporary of William Shakespeare and along with Shakespeare, a shareholder in The Lord Chamberlain’s Men, the troupe of actors who built the original Globe Theatre. He was a comic who was famous, at the time, for his comic improvisation. As Shakespeare became more famous he wanted to be regarded as a serious playwright and fell out with Kemp who felt that as he was a star he shouldn’t be restricted to a scrip. Kemp decided to prove his celebrity status by Morris dancing from London to Norwich in nine days, becoming the first nine days wonder.

That’s the same for me. If the people I go with decided to go to - eg Forest Green - I’d be happy to go with them. The Ashton Gate experience nowadays doesn’t inspire me at all

I think you can’t beat Rotherham’s New York Stadium. It’s small so has a good atmosphere and shows what a small ish club can do if the money is spent wisely

Q.3. Can the referee see what the ball hit from that position? IMO the answer is no. She is in a good position to see Pring and the defender, but what the ball hit, and how it hit it, is probably blocked by the defender’s back. I think you can only give a penalty from that position based on an assumption, which is the wrong thing to do

Only the OTIB forum could link JFK with Huddersfield

That’s what I thought at the time. I’ve just watched the highlights and this confirms my opinion. The first screenshot shows the position of the Huddersfield’s players arm which is definitely not in an unnatural position. Therefore no penalty. The second shows the referee’s position. From where she was she couldn’t possibly see what really happened so the penalty award was just a guess

A very good point from the Huddersfield forum was that there was only 5 minutes added onto the whole of the 45 minutes of the second half yet also 5 minutes added onto to extra time 5 minutes!

It’s interesting how different fans see things. On the Huddersfield forum it’s pure vitriol about her, most of it sexist and insulting. I think they were unlucky not to get 3 points but blaming her is a step far too far https://downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/119765/rebecca-welch

I do, but I don’t think any of them made it into production

I’m sure that with a Blackburn thread we’ll have the “what if” scenario of Sammy Szmodics. What if LJ hadn’t signed Kasey Palmer the year he also signed Sammy? It keeps cropping up, which isn’t surprising PS - I’ve just started it
