We’ve been shit for forty years - what else would we talk about?

Always look on the bright side of life

He quoted we were three points of play offs after Southampton game and I think he said we were nine points off play offs now. So think the ten points in his head got us in the play offs. Needs to look at the league table now and again

Broken service - sorry you don’t get a gold watch!

It’s posts like this that keep me logging into OTIB!

I’ve worked in the same place for 23 years but it doesn’t give me the right to keep my job if my performance dropped. I’d be out the door.

One of the few moments in the game we actually got to see anyone run at the Swansea defence whilst in some space. They executed the plan whilst not following the principals.

This is the answer to just about every regurgitated thread that has been posted on this forum in the last couple of month. If the statement is “What is the question?” Then dear Sir this mostly definitely is the answer. My dear God there is some shit posts on this forum based on opinion and bollocks from people who have absolutely no clue. I doff my cap! If we have a OTIB post of the year award you get my vote.

Well i paid quite a lot for it at the time. It comes with its own little home but I let another dog use it every other week which I also bought so you’ll actually need to buy both dogs and the home if you want the first dog. I also have a female dog so you’ll need to buy that. It’s got a favourite toy which is a basket ball you can have for a small fee as well.

I’m worried about our football club!

I have a mangy old dog missing a leg, blind in one eye and no tail. Anyone want to buy it off me for what I paid for it twenty years ago? Here in lie’s Steve’s problem. He wants to sell.

REALLY! WTF???? I can’t believe you’ve put him in there with the other two names! The guy was a legend in his day - we all know it went wrong at the end but his work rate was second to none. He was an absolute magician - best patio I’ve ever seen!

The pie and pint before the game was the highlight

We can’t seem to hit a first time pass.

The impression I got from both Pearson and Tinnion was that we were building from the academy up so that should we change the manager then we wouldn’t need a complete rebuild. So talk of giving the summer to bring his own players in seems odd. Give him a preseason yes but a complete overhaul no. We have capable players and a couple of additions but it’s not ability that is holding us back it’s application. Players need to put effort in every week. It’s as simple as that.

I won’t be renewing. Moving house today which is a fixer upper so can’t justify the cost or the time to attend matches. I felt really let down by this season. We all knew Alex Scott was off and maybe just me but got the impression that money would be invested to improve the squad. I trusted Nigel to get us up the table this season with a stab at promotion next year. We will never know all the facts behind his departure and I’m sure Liam Manning will do a fantastic job over time but personally I feel disengaged from the club at the moment. If we were doing well would I find the time and money to go every week - possibly. Will probably end up missing it and get a half season ticket. It’s not a one man protest just circumstances but next year I will pick and choose the games I want to invest in - in the same way the Lansdown‘a pick and choose which managers to invest in.

Five empty seats from our usual party as we were all ill. There’s a lot going around. Don’t take the tellies from the concourse cause after queuing ten minutes for a pint during half time I’d miss the start of the second half. If you do take the tellies then replace them with bar staff

With how we try and play - confidence is either our best friend or our worst enemy. Following last night’s performance the confidence should only improve our game

Face palm to indicate I can’t look!

Went to that one. Half the game was spent singing “Aden Flint is having a party- Frankie Fieldings in the building “ or similar

Generally it’s not a totally ridiculous idea. How many times does a player get a yellow for a professional foul and it doesn’t seem quite punishment enough but a red would be harsh. My concern would be on the flip side that referees would issue a blue instead of a red when it’s borderline.

Looks like a perfectly executed Haka to help intimidate the opposition

The one year I didn’t renew we won the league and cup under Cotts. Might not renew next year and you can all thank me later!

Surely got an “L” for the same reason drawling does and good ideal does. Cause we be Bristol my lover

But if he gets a career ending injury before the summer . On the other hand I suppose one think to consider is the deal is done with WBA but what about the deal with the player? Could he reject the deal based on the contract offered? A strong second half to the season then his salary demands may price us out of signing him. The fee may be agreed but is the contract?
