RedM Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I looked at the link before approving the post and it looked fine to me, I have AVG too and no warning was thrown up or obviously I wouldn't have allowed the post to be visible. Obviously proceed at your own risk, same as anything anywhere on the net.. But thanks to the person who has brought the possible threat to our attention.

Bristolian76 Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 "But the trial opened up doors to Portimonense S.C. where he is currently registered as shirt number 99 and playing regular football again". Ahh yes, a real regular with 3 sub apperances since September, the last of those being on November 9th..... Still, more regular than he was at City i guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 An interesting piece which backs up what we heard about Tristan's remarkable promise as a youngster. Annoyingly though, it blatantly fails to explain what went wrong for him at City. The reasons for his release are glossed over: "...However, shortly after (2010) Tristan was released by a troubled Bristol City, just when things were looking so bright..." WHY?

Zip Nolan Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 A lot of young players peak too early, Marvin Brown anyone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Casual Connoisseur Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 I wonder how his talent would flourish under our current manager, I'd love McInnes to have had control of such a talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 What a great read and Tristan comes across as a thoroughly decent young man and not bitter at all. I really wish him well. Tristan can join a list of players who already had massive reputation at a young age, I can go back to the great Jantzen Derrick and Danny Bartley both great servants but both were expected to go onto bigger and better things and never quite did. Sean Penny and Marvin Brown were 2 who played and scored regularly at England schoolboy and youth level but couldn't cut it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Microsoft security essentials (my computer fix it bloke said it was loads better than AVG which I used to use - had just fixed a PC which had been buggered by a virus which AVG hadn't stopped). No problem for me. Interesting and a shame Tristan never made it with City - I guess GJ just didn't get on with him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydneybcfc Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Sounds a shame for the club, the fact with a young son he felt he needed to leave Bristol (and the UK) hints at maybe off the field problems that maybe contributed to his being released even if he did have the talent. Who can say but if he's that good and makes it maybe he will return 'home' to play for us when we reach the Premier League.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I thought we released him because it was obvious he was never going to cope with mens football. Sent him on loan and didnt really do much as he was knocked off the ball far too easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chiddyj Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I played against Tristan Plummer last year in the Bristol & Avon league. He played for a team called Carmel Utd who went on the win the GFA primary cup He moved on from Carmel Utd now and is now playing in the portuguese league for a team called Portimonense in division 2. No idea why he played for a team in the lowest football league in the football pyramid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pederho ll Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Another young player that is never going to make it. I for one admire the steps he has taken over the last couple of years. It's good to take a break and assess what one wants from life. I sincerely hope he does make it because he has bucket loads of talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of players who have bucket loads of talent when they are young, but all these players that fail are not only getting dropped by city as hardly any other teams pick them, so maybe they are not as good as what everyone thinks.

He played 44 times for England at different age levels. You have to have something half decent to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 He played 44 times for England at different age levels. You have to have something half decent to do that. Indeed, it does seem odd that one so clearly talented could not make the grade here. I guess as supporters we're not privvy to all the ins and outs of a players life, in Tristans case clearly the ability was there, can only assume things in his private life or mental state effected his game. Seems like he is trying to better himself and can only come back to the UK stronger for his experiences and that can only be applauded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
