  1. If a player has previously played in a cup competition for another club, surely they are not 'available'?
  2. So are you saying that a goalkeeper can collect the ball in their hands in the first minute and then hold onto it for the next 89 minutes? (See Laws of the Game and FA Rules 2021/22- Law 12 Fouls and Misconduct.
  3. I would enforce the rule that goalkeepers must release the ball from their hands within six seconds.
  4. 'Back in the day' at the time of Twentyman, Alexander et al, I could have named the Gas squad as well, but couldn't name one of them now. Not really interested in knowing, either!
  5. Rules of the EFL Trophy available on EFL website. Unseeded and non-regionalised draw from Quarter Finals onwards.
  6. Of course we believe you. Hasn't every hot blooded male had exactly the same dream?
  7. According to my friend, whose son has joined the Academy this year as a pupil, before boys and girls are accepted into the Academy at 16, they have had to attain a certain academic level with their GCSE's results. For the next two years they spend most of their time in the classroom, where the uniform is a Bristol City tracksuit. There is more to the Academy than just being a good footballer. They are taught about all the aspects of being a footballer, including how to coach. This gives the kids a good grounding in case they don't make it as a professional, which, as we know, most won't. A lot of really good footballers don't make it as far as the Academy because they don't get good enough GCSE grades.
  8. You probably did. I believe the same applies to our Academy as well. A lad I know was accepted into BCFC Academy in September and his parents had to find about £200 for training kit, etc. It's the equivalent of buying a school uniform for the sixth form.
  9. But I thought Rovers played at Ewood Park every Home game?!!!
  10. Be fair. There is a very sound reason for their 'massive' away following, compared to home gates. If you were a Sag supporter, wouldn't you prefer to go to 23 other much better stadiums, to watch your team, rather than going to The Sh!%hole every other week?
  11. Ah, but don't forget - when the Gas win the 2 games that they have in hand by scores of 5-0 and 4-0 (as we will undoubtedly be told that they will) they will then move up into the play-off places .
  12. Do you not realise that this thread is the one we City fans use to take the p!ss out of the Rovers?
  13. I was casually chatting to a youngish guy and an older lady in the café at Southmead Hospital the other day. The guy was on crutches and told us he'd fallen down some steps, at a family party, and badly damaged his knee. The lady jokingly suggested he should 'take more water with it'. His reply was classic. He told us he was unable to drink any alcohol at the moment because of the pain killers he was on. He also said... 'And to make matters worse, I'm a Rovers supporter. It's bad enough watching them when I've had a few, but now I have to watch them sober'. So in answer to your question, yes people do pay to watch that sh!te, but some of them are more realistic about it.
  14. A good team, a reasonably good team and a bl##dy awful team on the pitch today. The team in black were dire, and that's being kind to them.
