If you think that giving a few insults back in kind makes me angry, you're mistaken. I just find people who defend the morons who are violent at football to be very objectionable. Every football fan should be pleased when people who give the whole group a bad name are caught and punished. It's pretty simple.

I respond in kind, I figure if people dish it out they shouldn't cry too much about getting it back. Dry your eyes.

The people arrested are innocent until proven guilty. The violent scum will be proven guilty. The chances are that only those caught on CCTV being violent have been arrested and will therefore likely be convicted. Seriously is this hard to understand or something? You may be better off going back to colouring in, just remember not to eat the crayons.

Of course they're innocent until proven guilty but if you're not willing to engage both braincells and realise the only ones nicked will be the ones on CCTV - reality is they're all going to get convicted. I'd suggest you steer clear of words you don't know how to use properly.

I'm not the one whinging about dawn raids and doors being smashed in. I'm just glad that the police are persuing violent scum. Carry on looking for excuses and apologising for them though.

Applying some basic thought? What do you think the arrests are for, singing? It will be for violent offences, obviously. Of course I'm not an apologist for the police treating football fans badly... Aren't you able to make the link between the police's treatment of football fans and the scumbags that give them the excuse to act like that? Any proper football fan should be fully behind the arrest and prosecution of anybody behaving violently at a football match.

Sad to see the usual apologists for the vermin out in force. Affray is a serious offence, so's GBH. Why shouldn't people get nicked for it? We're talking about the few dozen worst offenders here not the thousands that ran on the pitch. They'll have CCTV evidence for each one. Stop trying to help the scumbags hide and excusing their actions, it's just as embarrassing.

Embarrassing for Bristol, the club and most of us but hopefully the violent scum will be inside and away from football for a long old while.

You have no idea I'm afraid. You're trying to build a supermarket on a memorial in an area which is already well served and has a unique high street full of independent traders that the council have said they will protect by limiting supermarket planning applications... You are a long way from getting that done, you have two or three years of legal battles ahead of you yet and watch what happens to the project cost in that time. All of this has nothing to do with the planning for our new ground, building a supermarket on our old one (both of which are already safely through) or a plan to redevelop our existing ground which will sail through. None of which benefited from anything but derision from the blue few I might add. I think the odds are good that us and the rugby club will be playing in a new or redeveloped stadium a long time before Higgs has managed to deliver.

I expect if you compared most people to Huntley, Hitler or Glitter they'd come out of it looking pretty good to be honest.

Nope.

He's a complete**** and I'm embarrassed for Bristol every time I hear his idiotic voice spouting nonsense in the media.

How does negativity help us turn it around?

Bad day for results but those will happen between now and the end of the season. Let's not let this be a confidence destroyer, away at Blackburn wasn't a game we'd have expected anything out of at the start of the season and we're without Adomah, Skuse and Carey for half of it. Chin up, fight on.

Don't be so ******* miserable. We're going to lose games and this is away, we still won the last two and even if we lose this 6 from 4 since SOD took over is enough to stay up. We need positive support not defeatist negativity.

Swansea's prices are what... 15-20% above ours now? QPR's are much higher. It's a very big raise all in one go and probably a bit too much but they're not comparable really. What price were the season ticket renewals? QPR's went up hugely even for long term season ticket holders.

POUND TO PENNY POUND TO PENNY STOP PIRATE IS AWAKE REPEAT PIRATE IS AWAKE STOP MISSION ABORT STOP RETURN TO BASE SOONEST STOP

Mental selection and formation IMO. We'll be lucky to get a 0-0 draw playing long ball up to them. How we can leave out our midfield three from Saturday where we dominated possession I don't know. I'll be delighted to hear an I told you so.

Not another striker surely?

But IMO not better than just making it unreserved.

And when allocations get sold out people would just buy whatever's available. There's no harm in having a singers block I'm just pointing out it's impossible to enforce allocation like bucks seemed to be asking.

Of course not, the hard bit would be ensuring only noisy fans buy the tickets in that block.

Can't see any possible way to actually administrate that. Singing tests at the ticket office? The best you'll ever get it some designated blocks but there'll never be any restriction on buying them and I'd rather just see unreserved so it sorts itself out.

Well, basically I agree with you. The league has a responsibility to it's member clubs to ensure that clubs are able to fulfill fixtures. It can't be any other way or the league is a joke. If clubs are allowed to operate financially in a way that endangers their future and hence their ability to fulfill fixtures then that responsibility can't be met. Aside from having to approve all the clubs spending (which is impossible for many reasons) all the league can reasonably do is offer a strong deterrent and that strong deterrent has to be a points sanction. The rules are clear and are accepted by every club every season and Luton broke them repeatedly. To not enforce the sanction removes the deterrent from every other club and makes it more likely that other clubs will be as reckless. It also makes a mockery of the competition putting clubs who run sensibly at a disadvantage competing for players with those who don't. So, whilst I have sympathy for Luton fans, I can't see that docking them five more points than Leeds for the same offence but compounded by it being the third administration in 10 years is unfair. I must admit I'm surprised that the league stuck to the 10 points for the dodgy payments - that seemed to me to be an opportunity to show a little grace, but I don't know what the rules or precedents are there.

The penalty is meant to be a deterrent, not a punishment of the existing board. The ire should not be aimed at the league but at the ***** who put them in that position in the first place. Although I've got sympathy for Luton fans I've got more sympathy for clubs who didn't spend beyond their means and already dropped out of the league as a result.
