Ref very lenient with qpr challenges in first half then whistles every time one of their players goes down!

The FSA has partnered with key rail industry stakeholders the Rail Delivery Group (RDG) to help them understand the issues that match goers face when travelling by rail throughout the season.

If you ever travel by rail to games, complete the survey HERE

While the survey has an away fan focus we are also encouraging “home” match goers who travel longer distances by rail to complete the survey, as they face many of the same issues as away supporters.

Who are the the Rail Delivery Group? The RDG was established in 2011 by the major passenger and freight train operator groups and Network Rail to take responsibility for coordinating and leading on initiatives across the whole rail industry. In matters which relate to football, they include stakeholders such as the police, the Premier League and FA, as well as the FSA, in their discussions.

This survey is part of their work to better understand the motivations of fans travelling by rail, the issues they face, and the improvements they would like to see made to ticketing and the rail network more generally on matchdays.

The responses are anonymous and the survey only takes around five minutes to complete, and the data will be be useful to the train operating companies who are looking at various ways of improving rail travel for football fans.

Opening up the Portishead to Ashton Gate line?

Feel even better about our win now!

Jack Stephens gets away with a hand ball!

Southampton 1 up.

Just a shame that we're not playing Leeds tomorrow . They would enjoy the commemoration! 

Palace have a top six squad?

They’ve got a bigger waiting list than Arsenal I’ve heard…..

Don't they have hereditary life memberships like at Lords?

Given how many times the club have dropped the ball/crayons with limited edition shirts, it's no surprise that they ordered in limited numbers.

Must have been a surprise to find one that was popular!

Less than Southampton.

Really, I thought that was the first match they had lost all season?

How many matches had Super Leeds gone unbeaten since the start of the season?

We'll have to adapt this next time we play Forest or Man Utd. "Oh when the reds.. " !

Quite liked this.

City worked out and exploited Southampton's weak spots (sounds quite brainsy to me) but in Brains Vs Brain it was Brawn who won

It must have been the brains that found out how not to get booked!

Would that be from #sagslogic and babestv?

It was picked up on the TV coverage how many players from both sides were struggling to keep on their feet

After it was mentioned it was noticeable how many seemed overly cautious

As a leveller, possibly, but it was the same for both sides

There seemed to alot of their players "slipping" over just outside our penalty area!

And if all players were perfect there'd be some boring matches.

No

Only red cards can be appealed 

At best we will get the monthly apology letter from the PGMOL

Those apology letters are fine if you've won the match but a waste of time if you lost it. Apologies for penalties ignored or red cards given don't give you any points back!

You don't go OTT by buying a card? 

After the game Martin was saying that perhaps they should foul a bit more! And perhaps they should get booked a bit more.

Surprised how knackered they were - they've had nowhere near the amount of games we've had and yet we finished stronger, they resorted to fouling (couple of rugby tackles as well).

Seen plenty better teams than them against us this season.

They didn't like it up 'em did they 

 

I like it when they say what small squads they've got. Same with West Ham and Forest!

I do sometimes think when they signal advantage play on and there is no advantage that they should bring the play back for a free kick. That blatant body check broke the play up and there wasn't even a yellow card! Southampton realised what they could get away with for the rest of the match.

No bookings for Southampton?

Having not booked the Sotn player the ref now books Vyner!

Professional foul but no booking!

I thought we more than matched them. I'm expecting them to go up a gear or two 2nd half, but they are no Leeds. They aren't on an unbeaten run for nothing though.

They do alot of falling over just outside the penalty area, perhaps some refs buy their tactics.

Because they re ex-premier league Southampton and we are ex-league 1  Bristol City.

They're only showing the match because they're expecting Southampton to win!
