lenred Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Good forum to be fair - although of course not a patch on OTIB! Most of the posters seem realistic and were complimentary about us. I liked this comment in particular: 'although I don't see any brilliant teams in the Champ, I see improvements in a lot of average teams. (Wolves, Bristol City, Cardiff etc).' Although it's not a massive endorsement in shows that we are now getting noticed at least. Really good to see other teams fans recognising us and comparing us with the like of Wolves and Baaadiff, recent Premier League teams, and that they are obviously seeing an improvement in our set up.

Derby isn't a bad town, compared to many places "oop norf" However, Anyone stupid enough to think that living in Bristol is a nagative hardship, and a reason to mock, simply demonstrates a level of ignorance that's embarrassing!

chipdawg Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Why do all football fans seem to get hung up on the "my town is nicer than your town" thing? Derby is a nondescript East Midland town. It has some nice bits and crap bits. Much as Bristol does. It's not that surprising hat a Derby fan would see the nice bits of his/her home town and the negatives of the opposition town (who've just spanked them 4-1). Much as a Bristol City fan would Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

downendcity Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think fans of other clubs tend think that because Bristol is regarded as a footballing backwater and non entity it automatically means that it is a crap place to live.

When people say LJ should have been fired and if it were at another club he would have been , just goes to show how crazy football management has become. Fans now see it as the norm to sack, as well as owners. I look at the 'Harry' scenario at Brum....total madness, regardless of what fans think of him. Brought all those players in, given money to do so...and now another manager has got to work with them, and start all over again. Completely bonkers.

Not sure you can have it as the blueprint across the board though Spud Sticking with a manager who looks a bad fit, is not working , etc can be disastrous Like most things in life - need to to judge on a case by case business and the secret of success is to back the right horses when you can (Not literally !!!) and get the vast majority the calls right Same as recruitment of players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abraham Romanovich Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 "It's difficult for upstart clubs like Derby County to go to one of the giants of the British game, with all their heritage and get a result. As everyone knows, Bristol City have dominated football on and off for decades, winning trophy after trophy. A 4-1 beating is nothing to be ashamed of, at a stadium that has seen the cream of European club football humbled."

cheshire_red Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 I know masses of Rams and they are a good bunch without a doubt, loyal and travel in decent numbers. Derby isn't bad at all and around the area has some lovely small towns and villages. Ashbourne, Matlock. Melbourne, Belper are some of the most sought after towns to live in the UK.

I know some people don't like our 'connection' with the Johnsons, but I see it from outside of the box so to speak. They've 'spoken' about this for years 'off the record'. It's a 'masterplan' that's been spoken about over 'long lunches' for a period of time. It's not happened by accident. This was planned many moons ago. Perhaps Clubs should do much more diligence when appointing managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norn Iron Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 2 hours ago, Port Said Red said: Just in case, someone show them this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-39320118 Well, if Ballycastle is their regional winner (Norn Iron), then whichever town/city wins the top spot truly deserves the acolade. The only problem with Ballycastle are holes 10 to 16! You suddenly go from the links to a cliff where it becomes tiresome. However, I don't think the award was based on golf courses....if it was, they'd have been docked serious points! The views to Rathlin Island, Scotland plus Isles, and of course the famous coast road to Belfast is nothing short of stunning. Bristol beat Ballycastle eh? Bristol must be good!
