Northern Red

Someone's started a thread suggesting they get Nige in for the last 4 games.

I've noticed a few Ipswich fans getting nervous at the prospect. If they finished with a record points total to miss out on auto promotion and then got done by Norwich in the playoffs I'm not sure they'd ever get over it.

Prestwick? In terms of distance from Glasgow it's the equivalent of building an airport in Swindon and tacking Bristol onto its name.

Haha. First time Plymouth have got near the Leicester goal.

I've never known a season like this one for ground sharing in order to get the season finished, loads of it going on up here and seemingly elsewhere in the country.

Game 9 was Norwich away (lost 3-2), Game 19 was Sheff Utd at home (lost 1-0). If you extend it to the West Brom game (24) when the calls to sack Nige came to a head, then it was 13 points from 16 games. 25 (Millwall away) to 33 (Hull at home) saw 17 points in 9, then 34 (Cardiff away) to 43 (Sheff Utd away) saw 9 points in 10. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022–23_Bristol_City_F.C._season#Results_by_round

The game where "Flint said no" got its first airing.

As much as Rotherham aren't likely to bring many down, they still have to be offered a certain amount (not sure what it is exactly). So any decision on something like this wouldn't be until a few days before when we know how many of them are likely to come.

Yep that's right. Without that he'd probably be doing Champions League and internationals now.

I did wonder why the Sky red button commentator said that it was Sam Allison reffing and gave out his stats for the season, because you could then immediately hear Downsy on the PA saying it was Bobby Madley.

Blackburn were meant to be desperate for the points, though you wouldn't have known it.

At the end of the season we'll be able to work out when we actually achieved safety- i.e. when we reached one point more than the team in 22nd ends up with.

"Slapped someone up"

No you're not.

It was the sort of display that ends with the visiting fans being reimbursed.

I assume there must be some financial penalty if we don't name him in the matchday squad, because there's more chance of Bajic coming on as an outfield player than him kicking another ball for us.

Blackburn were hopeless but we've made similarly awful sides look much better than they are in the past.

Proper player him. That ball to Wells for the 5th was sensational.

I'm not sure we've ever had a manager who was so widely considered to be dull and robotic and yet had his every word analysed to death as much.

Drivers licence always used to be fine for Ireland, I presume it still is.

Contractually obliged.
