The Coronavirus and its impact on sport/Fans Return (Merged)
Loco Rojo replied to Loderingo's topic in Football Chat
Don't forget though. The majority of those that do get it, recover and (hopefully) build up an immunity to it. In some way there is probably a benefit to getting it so that you build up resistance. Appreciate that's not best for the minority at all. The flip side to forcing everyone (who hasn't had it) to self isolate though is that they won't get it or potentially build an immunity to it and therefore there could still be a risk when restrictions are lifted that it'll all spread again. The modeling scientists and doctors are doing is hypothetical based in lots of data and previous events but they dont actually know how this will pan out. -
The Coronavirus and its impact on sport/Fans Return (Merged)
Loco Rojo replied to Loderingo's topic in Football Chat
It's possible. I guess it depends on how bad it gets here and what action the authorities need to take to try to isolate it. Personally I think it would be the right thing to do if there is a belief it will make a difference. Other sporting events in that part of the world have already been cancelled and although it hasn't stopped the spread could it have prevented it from being worse. -
Our shooting game was way off today - especially from the 3 and when you don't make your shots you're always going to struggle. The best part of our game was fighting back to almost tie it a few times but we were always second best. Even worse news today that over shadows the whole event is the tragic news about Kobe Bryant. R.I.P.

It was a poor game from the Flyers to be fair. Not a great showcase for the sport. Guarantee more fun watching them in a league game (and definately more fun watching the Flyers than watching one of the London NBA games which was awful. (What a waste of money that was).

What happens to the results that Bury should have played already? (first 6 games). Do those teams automatically receive 3 points or are they treated as a draw?

Yeah saw that. Zero replies. Nuff said.

If Cardiff or any club believe they have acted within the law and (more importantly) can prove it then they and in my view, majority of clubs would try to do the same thing to save millions. I don't condone it myself but for people to be surprised by this, surprises me. Football is a shady business these days with the amount of money being thrown about and if a business believes it legally hasn't done anything wrong then they will try to save money. The moral right thing to do won't come in to it - especially in modern football.
-
I suspect most if not all clubs these days would try to do the same if these a chance they could save millions. Not defending Cardiff at all but to me this is business. Football is not about integrity or doing what's morally right. It's a business, end of.

That sums up football.

It's a tough one and can see both sides of it. Hearing the news today, I think the way the media has reported it saying Sala has been found and the search has been ended is very insensitive and misleading (to not give a more balanced view as to why). I can also fully appreciate that if the pilot wasn't there what more could the rescuers do - especially as the conditions have deteriorated. I think what has been clear throughout though is that the media reporting of this whole tragic event has clearly biased towards Sala as a more important victim. A life is a life to me and both should have been treated - and reported on - equally (unfortunately this feels more normal these days with media reporting). Sadly, the media have sensationalised this and focused on Sala even to the extent to subconsciously imply he was the only victim and his life was more valuable at times.

Queens Park Rangers v Bristol City Match Day 4
Loco Rojo replied to havanatopia's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Look, City are injury hit at the moment at a time when this new look team needs time to gel so it's going to impact performances. Yes games might not look pretty at times but we need to get behind the team and support them. Completely accept there will be crticisim constructively but there are too many embarrassing comments on here at times (scan the first 9 pages for examples). The second half showed we can do it. Yes it doesn't mean it's perfect or pretty but we still need time and to get the injured players back. Well done LJ and the team tonight. A much needed result and clean sheet. Also important that we didn't concede in the final minutes too. Something to build on from and helps the confidence too. -

Is that his view if some on Otib? -
Queens Park Rangers v Bristol City Match Day 4
Loco Rojo replied to havanatopia's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Love how OTIB works, genuinely. Nine pages of non stop criticism towards anything a City player does, we score, which judging by the commentary on here must be a mistake so i'll assume its still 0-0 or 1-0 to QPR then suddenly its a Matty Taylor love in. Love it. I would put my tin hat on but i honestly couldn't give a shit as i fully expect to be criticized for the observation. -
The Bristol City v Middlesbrough Match Day 3

Sorry, this is OTIB, not the place for positive comments like that. You're only welcome here if you're calling for Lee to go. -
The Barnsley v Bristol City Match Day Thread 39
Loco Rojo replied to havanatopia's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
I know. When you see how well the players have played and some incredable performances earlier in the season, it's then so frustrating to see the same players performing so poorly over so many games recently. I know we will turn it around but when and how, I have no idea. -
The Barnsley v Bristol City Match Day Thread 39
Loco Rojo replied to havanatopia's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
At the moment though I don't think our performances have been consistent enough to give me confidence that we'll make the playoffs. But it's irrelevant what I think - do you think our performances since Christmas deserve promotion? Regardless though, there's certainly no guarantee of going back up with the Parachute payments - depends on how it's re-investment. -
The Barnsley v Bristol City Match Day Thread 39
Loco Rojo replied to havanatopia's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Maybe the wrong choice of words to describe the frustration that when a team that have played so promosingly in the early season put themselves in a position where promotion is a possibility then come up against a team struggling we can't play well or beat them (unlike Cardiff against Burton today). I guess if teams are good enough to go up they need to put in a more positive performance against those struggling and it certainly didn't sound good today. -
The Barnsley v Bristol City Match Day Thread 39
Loco Rojo replied to havanatopia's topic in The Havanatopia Match Day Archive
Got to agree with you. A draw or a win today cannot hide how inconsistent and at the poor end of the scale this team are at present. We will get better but I don't know what it'll take to do that - although I do believe LJ and co are the right people to do it. We aren't good enough to go up based in this form though and don't deserve to make the playoffs. -

How many wheels have we got? Let's be realistic, they fell off months ago. -
