He's not the first and he won't be the last. Proud Bristolian Bobby Reid jumped ship as soon as he could. Why on earth do we care about humans who don't give a shit about the collective at Bristol City? For me, anyone who has left Bristol City for greener pastures should be the arch-nemesis, yet we consistently lump them amongst our heroes - what bizarre pathology has befallen us where we gladly wish the success of former players at better clubs?

I'm friendly with Joe Jordan as it goes, and recently he spoke about the same thing. Pathetic adoration of what will be a footnote in the history of our proud club.

Legends are ignored, people who don't give a shit about the club are anointed as heroes.

Pathetic.

So players who better themselves are the enemy? The ones we spit out aren't good enough to be heroes. So that leaves the bang average ones to be legends?

Seems a bit strange to me

Loftus Road!!!!  Who makes this up?  Marginally better that Kenilworth Road and full of prawn sandwich eaters.

Wouldn't even be the best ground in League Two

Roberts looks far better than at the start of the season

He must have still been injured when he came on against Rotherham (I think). Turned from a guy who looked like he was running through treacle to a good Championship performer.

I agree with others that Max is more solid and Tanner has been most improved but both of those have come with greater experience. Also Mehmeti is doing very well which seems more down to Manning.

Tommy has gone backwards as has Sykes although that might be due to injury.

Why didn't Lansdown get us established in the Prem in the 2000's before FFP was a thing and before other very wealthy owners joined the party 

Who bloody knows 

What a result from Glos to give up only 2 wickets all day

Boom Boom Jamie McCombe

That overhead kick v Wolves wow, wouldn't see any of that nonsense these days

Here’s a thought…. When was the last truly meaningful league game we played? I really can’t think…. Wasn’t there a season under LJ where, in theory, we could have made the play-offs with a win and other results going our way? It’s just been season after season finished with dead-rubbers for the last couple of months. Not even a relegation battle! 

Truly meaningful, Birmingham and Millwall this season. We went into them in good form and on the cusp of the play offs. Failed to put them away and drifted down the table.

I had a feeling at the time our season might pan out more successfully if we'd managed to crack the top six and prove we could play against the low block

Didn't even hit his hand/arm let alone being in an unnatural position or deliberate, whatever the rule is these days. I'd rather not have got a wrong un in a totally meaningless midtable match tbh.

All those saying it's a clear handball let's come back to see your reaction when a decision like that those against us in a truly important game

Official site says.

We know it was much less really. 15k maybe? 14-14.5k?

That's a shite away following given the importance of the game for them

Always been a problem at Ashton Gate

Ultimately its probably because we have a higher percentage of fans compared to other clubs where the result isn't the be all and end all.  Having a day out on the booze with mates or a nice family outing to 85 mins of football before the kids get bored.

The ref agreed with you and that’s good enough for me.

And let’s be honest if Huddersfield hadn’t spent so much time feigning injury and trying to break up the play then the game would have already finished.

For that reason I have no sympathy for them 

How to say you don't think it was a penalty without saying it wasn't a penalty.

I'd be fuming if that was given against us, I'm not sure it even hit his hand !

It wasn't a penalty let's be fair, hard luck on Huddersfield for sure 

Brilliant on the Huddersfield forum

5 mins added 'Whattt Wheres has 5 mins come from'

Helik down wasting time 'good shithousing Helik'

Pen in the eighth min 'WTF it was only 5 mins where has the cheating ref got 8 from'

shouldn't laugh as I would rather Stoke went down 

Pretty obvious that Wednesday was due to a terrible error strewn performance from Blackburn. 0 shots in that whole half?

Never seen us line up without a CB before 

I think that's Plymouth just about safe especially with their GD? Great few days for them including the late equaliser v QPR

My recollection is Carey turned his back and was remonstrating with the ref, rather than the ref talking to him.

As far as I could see Carey was in a world of his own and I didn't see it as an unfair goal. 

My feeling has always been it was thoroughly unprofessional OTT behaviour from Carey and bloody annoying.

Sh*t shirt, sh*t song, sh*t day rounded off by Carey being a  bit of a tit.

 

Shit from Carey, shit from the ref never a foul in 2024 let alone 25 years ago 

I would absolutely bloody love it, very deluded club as to their true size

Less fans than us this season

Is this to put my top 5 or to guess the most popular top five??

Mine is Dickie, O'Leary, Tanner, Vyner, James

Couple of dodgy decisions in the Swansea v Stoke game too but not as obvious.

I think Stroud got that right by the laws as the goalie still had two hands on the ball

Very lucky for Swansea though 

He's been brilliant since last regaining his place in the team, I love his style

If Bentley is good enough for a Prem wage then Max definitely is which yes is a bit worrying because otherwise that's the keeper position sorted for the next half decade or more

I don't quite know what to make of that

In hospitality with a Blackburn fan and I feel sorry for her, they were awful

Dodgy at the back or what

Thought the ref wasn't gonna give that then 

Wow Gabriel got away with what would have been the stupidest penalty conceded ever

On RB after the match, the summariser (haven’t a clue whom he was) said “I just hope that Matt can get it right because we all know that Rovers are a sleeping giant …”. FFS. Sleeping giant my arse. 

7,000 for their first home match against a fairly local rival in 24 years is absolutely ******* terrible
