Bristol Rob

Why is it being called a retained list and not a released list?

I can't get past him calling an ice-lolly a lolly-ice. So not only would I release him, I would try and find out if such an offense was punishable with prison. If he can get over this serious blip, then I can't think of anyone better who would be cheaper (especially if you consider a transfer fee). So, if he wants to be FAB and a FEAST of footballing entertainment, the (Screw)ball is in his court. I wanna see him SPARKLE. Else, he gets a ROCKET, him and his FUNNY FEET. (Sadly, I haven't been able to shoehorn a defensive WALLS reference in here).

He did that, and what I have posted is what he was told. He still renewed, but was disappointed - he was happy (well, I was happy) to pay extra for it as well.

My father wanted a physical card as he is finding it increasingly challenging using his phone, but was told he wasn't allowed to have one and they were only available for people who had previously been issued with them.

Might be a more significant loss to the Welsh speaking Argentinians. (Pretty sure for a while Welsh was the second or third language of Argentina, with I have a feeling was something that occurred in the early 1900s).

Might be of interest to some, might not be.

As we are talking renewals, I have just renewed my forum membership. For a fiver, it's a bargain!

If you do 'highest home crowd this season' across men's and womens football and the rugby you should be able to find the worst supported side in the region! So, in first place we have.... Bristol City - 25,857 v Leicester. Second.... Bristol Rugby - 21,076 v Exeter Third Bristol City women - 12,008 v Arsenal. And propping up the table.... Fewers - 10,335 against Norwich.

Many congratulations to the early adopter of the perma-tanned hipster look. I'm sure his bacardi breezer sipped from a jam-jar will taste all the more sweet. Seriously though, thought he was an outstanding player.

I thought Banner joined some time before Budd?

I thought it was a poor performance by the ref today. Their positioning didn't seem appropriate to the play (and I understand that everyone has to pick their preferred view), but after a couple of early yellows, more harsh challenges went cardless, suggesting to me they weren't 100% in control of the game in terms of consistency. Would love to see distance covered by today's ref compared with others as they seems very static.

Eating the dog poo.

Well that sounds mildly sinister. It's like Mr Bronson meets Buzby.

Not alone. Most away games I'll have on the radio, unless it's midweek and on the red button. I could stream it, but I quite enjoy not surrendering every Saturday to home games or the idiot lantern. Home games, fine; away.... I can wait for highlights (usually courtesy of @IAmNick - the clip posting legend that they are).

It's a proper Roy Castle of a season up the Mem. Record losses, record number of consecutive games without a goal... Wonder what else they can achieve?

Wonder what the agents did for Darlington?

You have to think that the clubs who voted for this have decided that 'fans of the future' will now be 'fans of succession' and are accepting that it will be difficult to get new customers through the door, unless they have a significant other in their life who already goes. Appreciate the heading number from Sky is quite strong and will more than make up for a slight drop in numbers; but there are shades of ITV Digital about this albeit from a broadcasting partner with very deep pockets. Short term, the Sky money will keep the wolf from the door for a few clubs, but as happened with ITV Digital, if the broadcaster isn't getting a return after 5 years, either the number will drop or the deal won't be extended. Interesting times.

With the existing Red Button service it is already an excuse to possibly not bother going (Blackburn looked like the lowest crowd of the season), so the concern is that if they don't get it right next season a fair number of ST holders might decide that a membership offers far better value for money, keeping their cash for occasional games. Add in the increase away game coverage and a lot of people might get to watch a similar number of games by just following City on telly. (Not everyone streams). One thing that isn't clear, will be if Sky Stream is going to be available to pubs. The red button was (originally) but then removed.

Sure it was posted on here that once Sky have got their mitts on the fixture list, the games will be selected until January. At which point, you would expect them to pick games based on form/goals/playoffs. Obviously the moment the rains starts to fall and games get postponed this could all go out the window.

If the Red button service from Virgin Media is anything to go by, I'll be grateful if it works.

Also, make sure you check with the airline as to what sort of ID they require you to have. I have a feeling (or I think I read) that one carrier who has a route to the ROI acknowledged that whilst entry to the country wasn't passport specific and that they'd accept other forms of identification, as an airline, their requirement was that you'd need a passport to fly.

Based on recent games, he is lacking one critical skills most keepers have. When was the last time you saw him pick the ball up out of his own net?

They can resolve that with legal action.

What have you got against pick n mix? (This post was made on behalf of the Shrimp and Foam Banana Massive; South West Division).

Joey refusing to tell the Fewers anything about the new owners until the pay stops!
