Embarrassing....

The missus asked me what this meant after she heard it mentioned in one of the World Cup games yesterday - I explained that it was kind of a "base" challenge just taking a player out really but she then asked where the term came from and I have no idea!! Can anyone enlighten me as to its origins??

I heard that too, I think the commentator was just describing it how he saw it to be. An interesting term, first time I've heard a tackle described like that, different but it kind of sounded quite fitting.

My mate sent me this, to the tune of don't you want me baby

And the second half of the first half 

Not sure because the last 15 minutes of the first half against Sunderland, we were dominating...

It was accidental handball, which isn’t an offence ( if this is the same handball offence I’m thinking of!)

If it was in the penalty area it’s a penalty, but it wasn’t in the penalty area. This is where the law makers have fallen down, not the referees. 

Personally the worst decision of the night was not to book QPR’s penalty taker, what he did by winding up the crowd is according to the laws of the game 100% a bookable offence. Most of the other decisions that got peoples backs up are simply calls from the referee, they are ‘his’ opinion, whereas obviously the majority of the crowd felt they were wrong decisions. The decisions are all down to the referee’s opinion, and until people on here are willing to go and take the course and become a referee themselves, ( because clearly everyone can do better!)  you are going to have to accept it’s his call, and not yours!. 
There is a lack of referees in this country, especially ( obviously) at lower levels, if people feel really strongly that our referees aren’t up to it, then become one yourself, go for it

How Austin got away with celebrating like that was an absolute pi55 take!

Or when players are grappling at corners, or at times could be described as wrestling. It's generally 50/50 but the defender or goal keeper always get the free kick if given. It's a very subjective grey area.

More proof that we can create a good atmosphere at the new Ashton Gate, opposed to popular belief....

We had a leader in Pack and someone thought it was wise to sell him to Cardiff for a few million - still think that’s one of our worst ever bits of business we have done as a club 

The same Pack who was an integral part of Cardiff's recent 8 game losing streak?

Not seen the Books then? 

Yes, not a lot better than when we were bidding £9m for the likes of Dwight Gayle...

Maybe not the time, but which part of FFP don’t you understand?

Don't really get this argument, as we have made £60m+ profit on players over the last few years and are the 6th most supported club in the championship this season.... We're not exactly skint!

Could feel it coming towards the end but not quite losing it aswell....

Context: one of the best teams in this division. Hardly a surprise this game.

Blackpool beat them....

False news, i live in avonmouth and can assure you it's atleast 70/30 split in favour of city :). Easily. 

Yes this exactly, I live in Avonmouth, am a season ticket holder and probably know about 2 gas heads. 

Wasn't fielding at 2-1

Yes in the second half at least

You just need to look at their players reaction after a Higdon challenge last week against Sheffield United... it was cringeworthy! Their manager obviously tells his players to over react and their keeper was time wasting in the first half!

They are a good team so dissapointing to see they feel the need for cheating! Their players dive in the box in the second half was disgraceful and how he never got booked was even more disgraceful!

No this can't be true.. They've all been celebrating for days, it's DEFINITELY happening, with no further delays they said?

I would have Holloway over any one of the names on the bookies list I saw.. The guy is now a middle aged family man, he has grown up! I think he's always had a grudging respect for us, and if we did get him I think it would be a bit of a dagger in the heart for gasheads because I know that they would love to have him back there!
