RedM Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Now I know the result I’m gutted I wasn’t there as usual to watch, it would have been a hard watch though. Well done Bears, very proud. Put Bristol on the map for sure. Felt sorry for fans in pubs though being kicked out before the match finished!

Bristol Rob Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 So pleased I made the early decision to watch that at home. The extra time if you stayed in the pub would have ruined it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Well done Bristol. Score was a bit flattering but just about deserved that. Could be a European final at AG! Wrong shaped ball but never mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid in the Riot Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 A European final in any sport hosted in Bristol must be a first... especially one involving a Bristol team. Incredible game of rugby... just gutted the fans couldn't be there, or to travel to a final in Marseille. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetterRedthanBlue Posted September 25, 2020 Report Share Posted September 25, 2020 Fantastic result for Bristol and I know that 27,000 fans would have created a fantastic atmosphere. Not to get too ahead of myself as my words may come back to bite me but to me Dragons and Bordeaux were the danger teams for Bristol having watched Leicester this season and Toulon's quarter final there wasn't really anything that scared me unlike Jalibert, Tameifuna, Cordero and Woki. Jalibert I feel is going to be Framce's first choice fly half with Ntamack moving to 12 (ala Ford and Farrell). Must have been gutting for those that went to the pub though.

Kid in the Riot Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Know a few people that watched the match in pubs and they all stayed open until the end of the game. It overran by less than 10 mins so good to see common sense prevailing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to see common sense prevailing. Watching the match with two avid Bears fans was enjoyable in itself................... They were both anxious that even when the Bears were 14 points up with 5 mins to go that Bristol would lose. They couldn’t accept that with two converted tries needed that it was now easy peasy.....

Midred Posted September 26, 2020 Report Share Posted September 26, 2020 Could understand why Semi got sin binned but as the commentators said Bordeaux were getting away with murder. Half their team must have committed a high tackle by the end and although they gave away penalties non were yellow carded, if only to set an example. But great win!

Yeah....the referee was very inconsistent and Bordeaux were repeatedly coming in from the side but weren’t penalised and as for their high tackles.......... Tbh I though Semi getting sin binned was harsh compared to other high tackles that went unpenalised. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted September 29, 2020 Admin Report Share Posted September 29, 2020 Craig Maxwell-Keys will take charge of Leicester Tigers’ trip to Bristol Bears in Round 21 of the Gallagher Premiership season this Wednesday (September 30, 5.30pm), replacing Christoph Ridley who was originally appointed to officiate the fixture. He will be assisted from the Ashton Gate touchlines by Tom Foley and Paul Dix, while Claire Hodnett serves as Television Match Official in place of Maxwell-Keys. David Guyan is named as citing officer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely (like football) keep the other lot guessing.........element of surprise . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BanburyRed Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 Sad to see the demise of Leicester as a force, they used to be THE team to beat and now they'd be hard pressed to beat an egg. When did they get so shit? Great result for the Bears, bonus point and everything goes to the last round of games. Come on the Bears for the top 4!

Very few football clubs stay at the top with Liverpool and Arsenal being the only two exceptions. Leicester Tigers will return in the future.

Kid in the Riot Posted September 30, 2020 Report Share Posted September 30, 2020 No matter what happens now this must be Bristol's best ever season since the Premiership began (1987?), and if we bag the Challenge Cup, best season ever?

The Bard Posted October 1, 2020 Report Share Posted October 1, 2020 Leicester were woeful. Only attacking threat was their 10's left boot. Barely threatened our line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
