cidered abroad

Brentford are a good footballing team and very clever at the cheating side also. Niggly little fouls to break up the game when we have the ball. Ref doing OK but not impressed with him having a love in with the Brentford players while one of their's was being treated for a headache. We are doing OK so far.

Another chance for NP to weigh up if he wants Marriappa and Baker to stay? We know he rates Vyner from previous comments

You are a three eyed, four arms with six fingers on each hand monster! If you want to go into show business, I'll be your manager.

First home game next season? Guaranteed it'll be the Posh and a hat trick for you know who!

The type of game like Burnley v Sheffield United where I don't really give a thought to it and if both sides could lose, it would be the ideal outcome.

I wonder if Pearson can instil such dogged determination in City's squad. Many of us jokingly say that City can snatch defeat from the jaws of victorty. Well Bristol Bears are doing it regularly the other way round, whoever is in the team, however many injuries there are and even when the referee appears to be an additional member of the opponents.

My forum name was initiated when I lived in Portugal. I moved back to Bristol in 2013. My initial post was a reply to Hampshire Red @Hampshire Redwho appears to be stuck up Lee Johnson's rectum, or is chairman of his fan club. The LJ whose continual purchase of players has given us a grossly oversize playing staff with many of them clearly not good enough for top end of Championship. As for BRFC, as a youngster growing up in post war Bristol, I often went to watch Rovers because apart from City it was the only way to watch a game every other Saturday. Dad also, as a Welsh man, took me to Cardiff and because we had relatives there Leicester City. Also to City away games. So like many of my era, I loved watching football to see so many of the stars of the day. I had coaching from City and Rovers players as a teenager. I've always supported City but I respect players and fans from all other teams. And I genuinely believe that if BRFC were in the same league as us, we'd get two humdinger derby games and make our club more determined to finish above them every year. A good enough reply to your sarcasm? @slartibartfast

Oh you are all are in love with him, aren't you! As a Bristolian who remembers some cracking local derbies with the Gas at home and away. I'm a City supporter but that doesn't mean I want them to sink into the Fourth Tier. I'd rather they were in the same league as us, giving us an extra incentive to remain as Bristol's best. So for me, I'd like to see them stuff Sunderland and their manager this evening.

I don't know what if any regulations on finance exist in Women's football but the difference in the ridiculous amounts spent by the men's Premier League top clubs in their Women's teams is obscene - bears no resemblance of the gate money received. A Premier League problem magnified many times in the Women's game.

Another well worked evening for the Bears. Mention for Tiff Eden who kicked well despite the horrible weather. Yet again the only drawback is not being there to watch in person. I get my second jab in early april so will be raring to go as soon as allowed. We did!

Thanks @054123 for your comments. As I read the posts, I've been composing a reply with my opinion(s). You must be a mind reader. I enjoy watching football at all levels from three year olds kicking a ball to and from Dad, or Mum, to World Cups with the cream at the very top. Yesterday evening was an interesting contest especially as it allowed me to escape the two hours of drivel from Oprah and the upset royals. And above all, as it was a team named Bristol City, my club, a very good result.

Good fighting spirit. Hope this gives them some more confidence to get a few more wins to stay up. Any City win is a good win!

Shrews, my second team, beating Wimbledon so no more praying for the Wombles to upset the Gas!

@Better Red I'm surprised he managed to hit the target.

Courage took over Georges in 1961 so from then until demolished. Can't remember when.

Hello @BigTone. They never leave you because good parents leave good children who will never forget them. My parents both died around forty years ago and together with my first wife who passed on twenty years ago, I often think of them. They would not want you to not live your life to the full because they are no longer alive. You never get over it but time is a healer and so remember the good times you had with them. Always feel free to pm me if you want.

Serious title contenders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a first half. Compares with some of the Babas exhibition games for try scoring, initiative and running rugby. If only City could entertain like this.

@Midred I believe that sudden mood swings are not unusual with many people. Sometimes, I feel really up and very gregarious. Like speaking to total strangers on trains or at football matches. Then there is the other side of me when I go right in my shell. A party when I sit and don't say a word to anyone while all others are laughing, joking and drinking. I walk the dog or listen to music. My favourite is Wagner; dark stories but superb music that after taking one down can then lift the spirits back to normal.

The type of player that we could do with now - a leader who led by example and a very good footballer. Thanks Bobby.

I feel exactly the same.

Yessssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss! Brilliant display.

Keep battling on and as you said, keep grinning. Life isn't a rehearsal so make the most of your's and your family's as best you can. Feel free to Personal mail to if you want.

He didn't go back for a forward pass that led to a Saints try. Four very good points. Oh, and watching BT, I thought from the commentators, that only one team were on the pitch. Saints, Saints and more Saints!

Quote: "The other thing that is really important is (being) socially aware. We are not all from Bristol, we're not all from England, we're not all white, we're not all black, we're not all brown. We are all individuals and as I said to the boys what we are living here, we are a great example of how the world can be a better place. I have said look at all the backgrounds we have here, look at all the different educations that people have had, no one really cares because ultimately it is about respecting, appreciating and valuing everyone and I love it." I know it isn't football but the Head Coach of Bristol Bears is very close to all of us in Bristol and Bristol City FC. What a leader of people!
