Whitchurch1966 Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I liked how JL didn't jump on the Man City/United games as the best experience, he went for Hartlepool at home in the play off semi, more of a real supporters choice I think, I really thought the Dolman was going to collapse when Christian Roberts put the winner in, it was definitely moving.

ExiledAjax Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Actually it is really good. If the club has found a solution that works to allow them to put something on without the fear of having no control over who turns up and what they ask, but also gives fans the ability to submit live questions then that is great. For anyone watching it after the event. it doesn't actually start until there's about 14 minutes on the clock. Until then you'll just see the holding image - BCFC's version of the old girl and clown playing noughts and crosses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoxton casual Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 Can you imagine the thick skin you must have to do open sessions with football supporters, knowing the abuse they get on many supporter channels - especially when the team is not performing well. I would never talk to anyone! Its funny that on most of these sessions everyone, is very decent and rational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 2 hours ago, MC26 said: True. Seems strange to get stick like he has when they've only conceded 22 goals this season. Makes you think a large number of their fans were expecting him to be getting a fair few goals like he managed for us. Middlesbrough, invariably, over the years, seem to be defensively sound and a bit short on goals scored; a bit dour; apart from when they had Ravanelli and co (probably). They have had some excellent central defenders so, as great as Flinty was here, and as loved as he was, Middlesbrough have had better cbs. He's not going to match up to Pallister, Mowbray, Gibson. They also need a scapegoat, currently, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 15 hours ago, Boston Red said: They all seemed very nervous to begin with and it was very stilted. A bit like pulling teeth. Jon Lansdown seemed very nervous and stilted and is not a natural speaker. LJ and Mark Ashton are both comfortable with the media. Towards the end as the questions came flying in live it sparked up a bit, and a few interesting things came out. LJ said that the club had been loyal to him but he had been loyal to the club and had had some offers. It is a shame that Lisa Knights didn't push him further on that. LJ also said that Max O'Leary nearly played against Forest away, but had been ill for three days before so it was given to Frank Fielding, which LJ said was a risk as he had just come back from injury, but obviously it worked out. It seems, reading between the lines, that the Assombalonga dead never really got off the ground. Apart from a rogue croissant, LJ went vegan for January as a bet with Alex Russell. Perhaps why he seems to have lost a bit of weight. When they were asked which game in the past they could go back and play in, Ashton said any game with Lee Johnson in it, because Lee Johnson gives the impression that he was a combination of Messi and Maradona as a player. LJ said the Hull game, which obviously hurt him and his family. Jon L suggested going and playing in that game but for Hull, as he is that bad. But a City XI with LJ and Scott Murray and Carey beat that Hull team for charity recently 3-0. A certain amount of banter about beards and Jon Lansdown's sports top. Jon tries out the gear before it hits the club shop. The usual PR and repetition of the words "this football club" ad nauseam from Mark Ashton. LJ much the same as he is in press conferences. Oh, and Mark Ashton's favourite cheese is cheddar. Glad they cleared that one up. It's been keeping me awake for months. Cheese does that .

The badge will contain the Robin and 1894 by the sound of it. Any strikers we were after weren't available quite early so that was why no late signings. Could someone explain the cost and benefits of having a category 1 academy that MA didn't rule out? Shouldn't the date go back to 1887 with the formation of Bedminster\Southville FC which are part of our history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like the bit where Mark Ashton is in full flow about the "pathway" and with the briefest turn and beam in the direction of LJ, says "And Lee's given debuts to so many academy players, haven't you Lee". If you ignored the beard, it was all a bit Roy and Renee of the Fast Show. "Ohhhhh. I said we're fishing in different ponds. What did I say Lee?"

EnderMB Posted February 5, 2019 Report Share Posted February 5, 2019 I got the feeling that, even though they requested that people send in their questions during the stream, all of the questions asked had already been submitted by the time the stream started. Also, did anyone else notice some weird sound issues at times? As far as the actual content goes, I really enjoyed it. I'm not a huge fan of Twitter as the medium for streams, and it's a shame that it couldn't have been done through the website in some capacity to allow us to rewatch it. It was nice to see someone address Category 1 academy status for when we upgrade the training facilities. From what MA said, the revamped training centre would allow the club to integrate the academy and the first team for the first time, and to my knowledge Category 1 status would purely require an increased number of coaches for youth level. It's also interesting to hear how much travel is involved from MA and LJ, with both on the road to build connections to other clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when Gazza did his ACL and people were saying he’s finished. At the time this operation wasn’t widely performed but now players mostly seem to come back from this injury to continue their careers. The Cheese’s injury was a huge blow to the club , things could have been so much better for us and him if it hadn’t happened. We had just beaten Arsenal and showed that we could mix it with the best . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
