https://jobsinfootball.com/job/46975/var-manager/ I see the PGMOL are advertising for a VAR manager, interesting to see hidden away in the job description Desirable: · Experience of working in a football or NGB environment. · Experience of professional-level football refereeing. · Experience in a sports-related management role. · 'Big Six' Bias · Proven ability in ordering Pizzas for half time refreshments

Isn't he on first. (one for the Abbot and Costello Fans )

The one behind the late Queen is obviously Bill Shankly and would I be right in thinking that next to her majesty is a young Tom Cruise.

3 points. No excuses.

The one advantage we do have is being at home , so like Man United last night turn off the music 30 minutes before kick-off. Ashton Gate at its best can be pretty intimidating

My only experience was at a works do for the greyhound racing. Must say loved it, proper old school bookmakers and a few dodgy characters.

Most prolific poster seems to be Davefevs with 48800 posts. Just done a quick calculation on this (assuming each posts takes 5 Minutes ) . According to my calculation this equates to 169 days or just over 6 months continuous posting. Or to put it another way Liz Truss's tenure as PM and Brian Clough in charge at Leeds combined would be less than half Davefevs posting record on OTIB

Art is a creative expression of ideas. Sport is a display of skill/exertion in a competitive format. You can perform artistry in a sport but that is a showcase of skill and technique rendered artfully, not art.

Like Spain proved against Morocco ? I just hope we go on the front foot play to our strengths power and pace, not spend the first half hour playing Chuckle brothers football between Stones and Maguire.

If one of his bets was that he wouldn't make the England squad, he'll have the last laugh.

Missed the suit was hypnotised by how uniformly black Mancini’s hair was.

The public mood is not represented by a few contributors on a football forum . Consider the global impact of the Queen's death .

Well yes it is, The Queen dedicated her whole life to service of our country. To carry on normally does not mark that properly. I am no monarchist but feel the postponement of professional football is the right and proper decision.

Just to add to the feelgood factor https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/123374-nigel-pearson-here-and-now/#comments "Rodgers ain’t a patch on Nige. Bring him back. " "So jealous of the ride the Bristol City fans are going on at the moment. He gave me some of my favourite years following football, you just knew they were going to turn up week in week out and give absolutely everything. " Going to be a bitter pill for a lot on here when we're in a lower league than Nige next season!

Cryptic but I think I get your point. And you're entitled to your opinion.

A question also posed by this lot .

https://www.fourfourtwo.com/features/ranked-all-92-premier-league-and-football-league-club-badges "That’s meant to be a robin – but look closely and it resembles one of those fortune-telling fish impaled on a rod. And what’s with underlining the first half of the club’s foundation year? Is there a 1994 Bristol City?" Hopefully the players can concentrate on the match tomorrow without letting this devastating news affect them. The winner? Nottingham Forest: "Exciting and utterly iconic in its simplicity,"

I'm not having that, Marlon Pack was a very decent player for us and does not deserve your accolade.

Interesting comment on that thread "Love Nige, my favourite period of supporting this club, bar none. We absolutely need someone in his mould, someone who can galvanise and create a work ethic and team spirit here again. We've turned into a bunch of individuals with no fight and no spirit. Clubs like ours have a lot to gain from nurturing the right atmosphere. We've got 'good' players, but until someone comes in and sticks them together properly that's all they'll be."

Interesting choice for a character witness, said individual was famous for threatening, bullying and intimidating match officials and indeed the odd player or two.. one received a cut eyebrow at half time.... Hardly Mother Theresa

Anyone else want to rise to the bait? It is the humour and off the wall comments which make this forum .

Presser , no it is a press conference, using this does not make you appear more knowledgeable or in the know
