I'm struggling a little with that. I get it in essence but what about this scenario... Ball is bouncing on the edge of the box, defender stretches a bit to hoof it clear whist the ball is in the air, shanks it to an opposition player behind the defensive line. Is he offside? It's the coordinate body movement and the ball being easier to play on the ground that leaves it a bit grey for me.

What a legend he was. I always think of his part in Fawlty Towers when i picture him.

Yeh I've cringed a fair bit during some of his pre match press conferences. Same stuff week in week out.

Indeed. Nige in 1st gear.

One of his more friendly interviews i thought. Found his comments on negativity and weakness interesting. More of a life philosophy than just within football.

I think i can guess what he wished for when he blew out his candles! It'll be a welcome boost to the squad when he returns.

Bit like most of your 'opinions' then. Always to the extreme. Why do you debase threads so often? Grow up. If it was a democracy on here you'd be banned in a instant.

Decent piece here on the situation being discussed. For wider conversation, Wenger probably got it right? https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/wengers-prophesy-powerless-pearson-odowda-7384718

They've certainly made some interesting signings. I suppose everything points to them struggling early on but who knows. I think it's a great time to be playing them away personally.

Would rather have HNM in and around the team but for the longer term vision, I'm hope Nige will be sticking to his principles. It's a shame this applies to Han but that in itself shows the standards he's trying to introduce. Nobody is exempt from it. You're either onboard on your not. Want to run down your contract? Dont expect to be considered anything more than a squad player whilst you are still here. Nobody can say for sure but I'd suggest he either already knows he's off next summer or hoping the club offer terms more to his liking be that wage or length. Either way it leaves him in Pearson purgatory in the meantime.

So I've got this showing... I think if your renewal date is after the early bird date of 1st Sept it will show the £170. My guess is that if you buy the early bird offer before Sept 1st you'll be fine and should still be able to watch games on the existing sub until you manually renew/buy the early bird option. I think that makes sense!

He's clearly not going to extend. We'd do well to get something for him in Jan but i think he walks next summer for nothing and will be happy to shop himself around as a free agent. Don't think NP likes the situation but needs him in the squad. If we had more depth i don’t think he'd feature much. Real shame if it ends that way. I'd love to see him continue here.

2 Goodfellas heavy weights gone in a few months. Gutted, he was yet another awesome member of that cast. David Warner as well, another quality actor with a great body of diverse work. His voice acting work was top notch too. RIP both.

Probably only need a tablet for that sort of thing. Far more user friendly and something in the £150-200 range would do everything she needs and still be pretty quick. I couldn't recommend anything specific but go with a known manufacturer, they'll all be running Android as an operating system. All touch screen and apps are easy to install and use.

Good desire to get on the end of the first, he spots the run early and the 2nd is an absolute rocket.

Correct! Not so big Arn there, i didn't recognise him.

I'm not even sure it's him but... https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/city-close-on-garita-deal/

He's squad filla, no killa. Under contract, probably no affordable upgrade options around. Kind of stuck with him opinions aside. He'll be needed as the season rolls on. Tidy footballer, just needs to stop those punishable mistakes.

Probably be some video around later but sounds like a cracker. . Goal! Ross County 5, East Fife 0. Owura Edwards (Ross County) right footed shot from outside the box to the top right corner.

Cherry on the top of a good preseason. Pun intended. Well done lads.

More on the penalty It was Atkinson who won the ball high up the field and played it forward to Weimann who made the run into the box. He was barged over by Chris Mephham and the ref pointed to the spot. Martin then hammers it into the top right corner to give the visitors the lead. His second of pre-season.

Wow, what a block! Mark Sykes... take a bow! Bournemouth look certain to score as Solanke turns Naismith in the box and plays it to Christie. His shot is heading for the bottom corner with Bentley beaten but Sykes is on hand to get something on it. Bentley then scoops it off the line.

That's a brand new shirt...ruined!

Seems we've started well.

What filling in the roll? Will you still be hungry after a decent brekkie?
