RedM Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Fighting back a little now. Horrible results for us last night though. But I was very impressed with CharlesP last week, if we can keep him fit he will turn round the season almost single handedly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Awful defending 25-7 now. Lost this one . Edit; seconds later we gave them another try. 32-7 with only 48 mins gone. Hammered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Sale now winning. Bristol bottom of the table, oh dear. December is huge: Leicester (h), Sale (a), and Newcastle (h). Simply have to win at least two of those otherwise another relegation is on the cards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 OK good comeback and would've taken two bonus pts before the game but still need wins from the next three now. Newcastle home is a must win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle home is a must win. Comparatively, Bristol are 9 points better off than 2 seasons ago. Need at least 2 wins from the next 4 though. It's a lottery who's going down this year. Wouldn't surprise me if an established side went (ie Saints, Bath, Quins). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBFC II Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Got to win this now, controversial red for Leicester and an 11 point lead puts us in control. If we want to stay up this is a must win half, by a bonus point as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Red Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Big win which means we jump from 11th to 6th. The bottom half of the table is the tightest it's been in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Great game. The sending off obviously helped but Bristol were dominant well before that, they certainly weren’t going to lose today. We did everything right and looked confident and well drilled at all times. We got a lot, we’ll all, the decisions from the Ref, and rightly so as Leicester weren’t above trying a few underhand tactics. We pretty much held our discipline and didn’t give away silly fouls. I don’t much like the mixing of the fans, especially when you find yourself surrounded by Leicester fans shouting Tigers every few minutes, but it was great to see one bloke in particular get quieter and quieter and sit back down and finally shut up.

cidercity1987 Posted December 1, 2018 Report Share Posted December 1, 2018 Newcastle won aswell which means all teams in the league have won at least a third of their games. A shock relegation on the cards? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted December 2, 2018 Report Share Posted December 2, 2018 Bath looking utter litter. 7-7 with Sale today. It was 0-0 at HT! I guess it's a good thing for Bristol that 6-12th is so tight. Still, two big games coming up now v Sale then Newcastle. Gotta be looking at at least six points from these two.

Club and Country Posted December 3, 2018 Report Share Posted December 3, 2018 I was at the Bath sale game with work and it was woeful Can see Bath spending a lot of time in bottom 3 this year, however behind saracens and Exeter standard is absolutely bang average this year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyderInACan Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 Lot of talk about ring-fencing now the CVV (or whoever) deal for a 30% stake is almost a certainty. Might be too soon for this season though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that would mean 4 more weekend fixtures and the calendar is already chocca...I think expanding to 13 is just about doable and would enable the thirteenth shareholder, London Irish, to join a ring fenced Premiership.

CyderInACan Posted December 4, 2018 Report Share Posted December 4, 2018 From The Times Premiership clubs in talks to end relegation and expand league to 13 sides The Premiership clubs have recommenced negotiations to bring an end to promotion and relegation, with a new possibility of expanding the Gallagher Premiership to a 13-club league. The Times has learnt that some clubs would be keen to pull up the trap door immediately and therefore ensure that no one would be relegated at the end of this season. The first nine rounds of this season’s Premiership competition have established a situation where seven clubs are at risk of relegation, arguably nine. It is this fear that has focussed minds. The subject of ringfencing has been an occasional discussion point among the clubs and came close to being waved through earlier this year. The major sticking point, then, was the fact there are 13 professional clubs with shares in Premier Rugby Limited — the 12 in the Premiership, plus London Irish, who are leading the Championship — and how, therefore, to cut the number to ringfence a league of 12. One of the new proposals is simply to expand the Premiership into a 13-club competition. This would require an extra four Premiership weekends each season. These weekends would be made available by the cancelling of the new Premiership Cup competition. While some clubs are keen to scrap relegation as soon as possible, it remains unlikely that it could be achieved swiftly enough to prevent any club being relegated this season. A Premiership spokesman today confirmed that ringfencing was again being discussed. “It’s been on the agenda for 20 years,” he said, “and will always be debated.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
