Please stop this chant, this isn’t the MLS... Just because you add You ***** at the end, you’re not hard! horrific and utterly embarrassing cheers rant over

As I heard yesterday, a bloke telling his young son “you can getting involved in all the songs, just don’t repeat some words to your mum tonight”. Just as I was told when I was nipper and just what I tell my young son. Football is sanitised so much these day, let’s not encourage clubs to make it more so.

Finally realised he wasn't as good as he thought he was and nobody else wanted him. Still, glad it's over.

WTF is trip hop ? I suppose if I have to ask I don't need to know..

Evening all! Another week another defeat for us i will try not to bring the ref into the equation who i thought was very lenient on your players this afternoon! I thought that we played ok and we should of taken the chances we had when 1-0 up to make it 2-0 the red card was reckless from Allen high boot with studs showing your always going to give the ref a decision to make but always thought when we were 1-0 up we wouldn't see it out and i was right! your first goal was a carbon copy of the first goal we conceded at Birmingham cross to the back post and header into the net far too easy for attackers to get in behind the defence i thought elliason changed the game when he came on i said on here earlier in the week if you played with pace and power upfront and out wide you'd get joy hopefully thats the last we'll see of jones we are going one way with him in charge and thats down! Good luck for the rest of the season! I cant be confident we'll be seeing you down here next season at this moment in time

Quite agree. We have more than enough things to laugh at Rovers about, I'm not going to use some kidding fiddling I love you as further ammo. He was clearly looking for an environment where he could 'befriend' kids. City/Rovers, makes no difference. He's a proper wrong 'un and should be locked up.

Any grown men wearing replica shirts to games should be turned away anyway.

Members of the Scandinavian branch thought I had us all banned

Easy tiger, it's a saturday morning and I like to sleep longer than my usual 7am wake up call of "MUM! CAN YOU GET ME A DRINK???" FYI, I normally do a thread between 10am and 11am so seeing as you've already began, I'll go back to bed and politely ask a mod to add Match Day 7 to the subject. @RedM @Dollymarie @WesM @phantom

I think there’s probably been, on balance, good management here by LJ and a good split between carrot and stick. The latter was where he made clear the situation and that the club weren’t bending. The former was the more difficult - having given the kicking, he then still kept COD involved and onside, didn’t cut off his nose to spite his face. No doubt the fact the clubs ambitions have moved forward since the original contract offer have helped shape COD/Daddy CODs new stance, but to me (as long as we haven’t offered a new huge contract different from the first), great credit to LJ here for management of the situation

Ah , cats and moving house , here’s a true story of my Florence. The little soul was a gentle cat until you asked her politely to get into a ‘ travel ‘ box then she would turn into some crazed demon , clawing , miaowing , growling , obviously very uncomfortable so I had the habit of letting her travel ‘ loose ‘ in an open bag in the car where everyone was peaceful. She moved house with me on many occasions and we never had any problems until one day I stopped at Sheringham in the hire van loaded up with our things . Florence decided that she didn’t want to leave the town and, despite every cat proofing precaution, jumped out of the cab and ran across the railway sidings . I had to leave my van with all my belongings and enter illegally and dangerously onto Railway property to try and recover the little dear ! After a long , stressful , moment creeping around under wagons I found her and reasoned with her ( with the help of some cat crunches) . We decided that there wasn’t going to be a referendum and that we were leaving ‘ deal or no deal ‘ . She gave in and we moved safely onto to our new home.

Its stoopid, our goaly has the ball he kicks the ball towards the half way line and we are then half way towards creating a goal scoring chance 50-50 chance we will get possesion Rant over

Really hope we are trying to pin him down for another 3 years or so, for me he is more important than COD and we can't afford him to run his existing deal down.

Hopefully nowhere near my end

Well done Phantom and Ronnie for posting. I'm sure there are many on here who will take encouragement from what you have said. Counselling is no longer a stigma. How we used to scoff at the Americans for having therapists. No longer. We can go to a physiotherapist if we have a bad back but can't go to a therapist for instance if we have bad episode(s) from our past still haunting us? Football for me has at times been my lifeline. I felt accepted being part of a tribe. It was my escape. It got me through the week until Saturday. Well done Marvin Sordell for going public. Well done Marcus Trescothick for going public as he's not only a top sportsman who reached the ultimate in playing for England but is also one of us, a City fan. If Marcus and Marvin can get help and then help others by talking about the ex-stigma, and they were players then so can we as fans. Keep going Phantom and Ronnie. You're good eggs and no doubt will help others on OTIB now and in the future.

Ta I Understand that for you the Sags and the feelings towards them and the rivalry with them means little For many of us of middle age , and some younger and older they will always be a subject of real dislike and something to take the p out of at every opportunity Some of us remember 82 when they tried to Nick our ground , and their loud arrogance during parts of the 80s and 90s Many remember events before and during those periods and some after but there are many that really despise em with good reason Personally if this thread , only reminds our younger fans that they are a laughable stain on Bristol it will have done its job Plus it’s really enjoyable to take the p out of them

Get in. 1-2 FT Sounds like we dug that one out but three points is three points. Bring on the Welshies!

These commentators on RobinsTV are making my ears bleed.

Loved boom-boom. The brilliant saving tackle up at Carlisle is lodged away in my locker of precious City memories. Good luck Jamie.

Glad that’s sorted now Get behind the lad and support him 100%

You should be Manager with that tactical nouse

I'm irritated about the piss poor "journalism" on the official site. You thank the person for his/her efforts.

The best thing she could do is shut up completely

I must have watched a totally different game as I don't think we were "shit" at all. Not at our best, but certainly not "shit."

Although I agree that there are times to play & not play, I would be encouraged that your son is trying to ‘ play ‘. Remember listening to Southgate quite a few years ago, he was talking about youth football in this country, he chose an example of ‘ a young smallish player is trying to play to feet, with a simple 15 yard pass, it gets cut out & the opposition are on the attack, the kid gets a bollocking, with a few moans from parents for giving the ball away. The next lad, a big lad for his age wins a thunderous 50/50, wins the ball & punts the ball upfield, which rolls out for a goal kick. Coaches & parents applaud him’. He probably articulated it a little better than I have been able to while having my toast, but you’ll get the gist. But that for me sums up a lot of what is wrong with football in this country. COYR

Most games he’s woeful going forward

I used to go to The Coopers and then for a while went to the Hen & Chicken because there was more likelihood of getting a seat for my kids. Nowadays when I’m with my kids and Dad (he can’t walk very far now) we tend to have a beer in the concourse (sometimes the SC&T bar, but that gets crowded before the game). On the occasions I go to games alone I quite like to visit pubs like the Orchard, The Cottage or the Nova Scotia. Last season I went to the Miner’s Arms for the first time in years - I liked it in there. The Bristol Beer Factory pub opposite the Spanish bar is also really good. The huge number of pubs relatively close by is one of the reasons I’m really pleased we stayed at Ashton Gate rather than moving to Ashton Vale.

Very flattered RR...but I doubt it. Far more reasoned posters than me...Dave F for one. I may know my football...but I'm way too opiniated on social issues, so will have people who disagree. I however do agree with you...I hate the ' stand up' chant...the Gas don't even come into my physchie these days...it's old hate, and imo the chant only blows smoke up their arse, as it still recognises them. The biggest insult would be if it wasn't sang anymore.

I thought they were a very petty, diving team backed up by fans who booed Brownhill for being fouled by Allen. I'm thoroughly enjoying them being bottom of the league.

The apple don't fall far from the tree...........does it "Governor" ?

Fammy the scapegoat continues to be targeted by the boo boys I see i reckon Rowe will be the next target Moore after that followed by bentley

How lovely is David Lloyd on RobinsTv? Attenborough-esque!

From what I've read does not sound like Nagy fully fit and Afobe can't play, so... Bentley Hunt, Moore, Baker, Rowe Massengo, Brownhill, Eliasson, Palmer Fammy, Wiemann

Don't even go there. I mean what's the worse that could happen?

and for balance this is what he looks like in the day in his bookshop. He used to live over the back of ours and is actually a really nice bloke. He attracts a fair amount because of his 'get-up' but to coin a phrase we shouldn't judge all books by their cover

as I read it, the SFC statement says he was acting the big un outside the ground, and shouting and swearing at Saints fans. That being the case...what did he expect? He was also given "suitable words of advice" from SFC apparently before he ever traveled. If he chose to ignore everyone and revel in his own dick headedness, he'd need to accept the consequences. Frankly this sort of behaviour from a bloke lurching towards 60 years is ludicrous

it comes with whiteboard markers, so they can colour in a whiteboard in quarters for their UWE display to entice more fans to the Minimal (or scare them off for life)

I'm quite impressed with the Gas in this instance actually... In the face of dwindling support, instead of laying off crowd control stewards, look closely at the above pic. It clearly shows the stewards have been reassigned to new duties as toilet attendants. A bloody good ratio of attendants to cubicles too, almost one per urinal, very impressive, far above industry standards. I'm sure the fella taking a pee in trap 11 appreciates the excellent service provided. (note the discrete 'gents' sign on the far wall … well done The Gas! )

I read this story earlier. A dreadful situation where women aren't allowed into stadia in Iran.

Ahhhh, the good old days when Alfredo Di Stefano played for Argentina, Colombia and Spain you mean?

Surely hes from Jamaican Descent as per what Jamaican websites have been putting, he wasnt born there so surely he is english with Jamaican descent? I dont see how someone can be from a country, if they were not born there.

The thought behind some of these ideas such as online protection is fantastic but it is somewhat clouding over the issue. For whatever reason, racial abuse has grown recently, something I have had direct experience of. The message Korey shared or what the presenter on Italian TV said about Lukaku is not acceptable and people should not be identified by the colour of their skin. I get frustrated by someone referring to ‘ the black lad up front’ or ‘ yeah, the black guy’ However easy/lazy it is to identify people in that way, it singles someone out by the colour of their skin, in the two crude examples I’ve given, may not be considered racist by some but the consequences of doing so, doesn’t help.

Not sure they like Allen.......one guy on their forum wants his ban increased to a custodial sentence

Never a penalty in a million years. Scabby gits.

So looking forward to the Swansea game and watching all the new guys in the team. Not been able to get down to the Gate due to a long drawn out illness . Will be in the Heineken lounge with the prawn sandwich brigade as a treat for me and my two boys. Massengo, Nagy, Williams all look an upgrade to the team can't wait. Shame Kalas got unjured. COYR.

Does make one wonder about the inadequacies in their lives, that they have to seek to belittle others to make themselves feel better.

Can’t wait for Dasilva to be back! Great defending & going forward

We won which is the important thing, but seriously how does anyone rate above 6 today. We played geriatric walking football in the first half, and continued to labour against 10 men in the second. The only times we actually bust a gut to get behind their full backs resulted in our two goals. With a man advantage our midfield should have been committing their players more.

Bet we’ll be more solid when we go over there.....

We are not tanking this year! We are absolutely trying to win (the first overall pick!) every game! Fins up!
