Red Rum

Trinity was an amazing venue. I remember seeing the Prodigy playing there supported by the Chemical Brothers before they were the Chemical Brothers. Probably had biggest variety of club nights there as well - I’m sure I remember one particular techno night where they had a bouncy castle upstairs!!

I have vivid memories of that even now!!

Yes!! That must have been the darkest sweatiest club around!!

Those Shimmy nights at Easton Community Centre were AMAZING! I walked past there recently and couldn’t believe how small it is - I have memories of what seemed like massive nights there!

Was more mid 90s for me - use to go to the big events - Dreamscape, Tribal Gathering, United Dance, Bagleys in London… also loads of stuff in Bristol - Bristol Exposure, Roughneck Ting, Deathrow Techno, plus Friday night at Lakota week after week! Remember doing a few of the free ones in Forest of Dean too. Completely with you about still loving the music - I discovered a great app one recent drunken night where I was going down a YouTube rabbit hole watching old rave videos - it’s on https://www.mixcloud.com/ They have loads of old DJ sets from back in the day - found quite a few that I was at!

I saw them supporting Yeah Yeah Yeahs at Brixton Academy back in June - hadn’t really heard them before then but thought they were brilliant. They actually sounded heavier live but have really got into both the albums since then.

Some really good albums this year… and some great gigs too (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Fontaine DC, Gorillaz and Kendrick the highlights for live music). Top albums for me: 1. Denzel Curry - Melt my Eyez See Your Future 2. Gilla Band - Most Normal 3. Yard Act - The Overload 4. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Cool it Down 5. Kendrick Lamar - Mr Morale… 6. Fontaines DC - Skinty Fia 7. Loyle Carner - Hugo 8. Jamie T - The Theory of Whatever 9. Dry Cleaning - Stumpwork 10. Leftfield - This is what we do

Only actually noticed how big an Aussie theme there is there when you mentioned it… four out of 10 is a strong message! Am with you on the Gizz front… on a related Flightless note Amyl and the Sniffers have just announced a UK tour next summer including a Bristol leg. Missed out on tickets for their London show this month.

Love the Black Country New Road album - saw them as a support act a few years ago and have been waiting for the album since then. Just pipped to the top of my list by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis’s album which is unbelievable- compounded by seeing them at the Royal Albert Hall last month. Also agree with the Wolf Alice album - they were definitely the highlights of the televised Glastonbury substitute earlier in the year. Top ten for me as follows: 1. Nick Cave and Warren Ellis - Carnage 2. Black Country New Road - For the First Time 3. Idles - Crawler 4. Amyl and the Sniffers - Comfort to me 5. Ty Segall - Harmonizer 6. Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend 7. Courtney Barnett - Things Take Time, Take Time 8. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Butterfly 3000 9. Bicep - Isles 10. Slowthai - Tyron

McClaren, what a patronising c u next Tuesday. ‘’We’re a good little team but not big and tough enough for the top two’

Johnson’s comment in the Sky post match interview re Tuesday: ‘it will be a tough game for Man City’!

Sky Sports News beat OTIB with the update on that one!!

Up to 6th - Hull equalise

'Gonna get banged' means something else in my book...

Didn't see anything today that made me think he is ready to start.

Thanks for reminding me of this - I started to feel a hint of sympathy for them over the whole Swindon tickets situation however that has instantly evaporated!

Definitely a prime candidate for Viz's 'up the arse corner'. I think it's the bloke in the glasses who's 'giving' though.

The first half was pretty open. In the second half we were well and truly taught a lesson in football - we've had a few this season, that was definitely one of the better ones.

I Imagine all they will be waving is benefits letters. I can picture the carnage if one £5 note is produced in the crowd there - it would be like Asda on Black Friday!

As a Bristolian Watching Points West earlier just made me realise what am embarrassment they really are. That ground is a disgrace, those geriatrics they were interviewing (connected to their governance structure in some way?). Seriously, they need to pull themselves together as they are currently a disgrace. While I certainly wish them no success whatsoever, I really hope that the few million that they might get from this might be enough to sort out their image a bit. Purely because I'm proud (not prowed) of my city, and as it stands they really do let us down.

Best game from Freeman got a while. Agree re Kodjia, particularly half way through the second half in front of the goal - its like he knows that the rest of the team don't quite have his skill so doesn't want to pass.

I absolutely agree with you. However, I've endured plenty of league matches against Rovers including (I hate to say it) times where we have been beaten by them plus times that we have given them a good hiding (the Christmas game in 2000 being my favourite). With this comes a natural rivalry. I do wonder whether for the younger generations, it is possible without these experiences for the same passion to exist. The worry is, as funny as their demise has been, the longer it lasts the less people really will care about them.

People have been saying for weeks that we are due to give a team a hiding... it appears we haven't really considered the counter to that!

Not sure about the 'love ins' with the interviews at the end. Flint and Marshall and now Cotts and Skeletor.
