1960maaan Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 I have said on more than one occasion, there was more than a touch of the Michael Knighton's about the young Wael. That embarrassing mingling with the fans, being carried down Glouc's road , he just lapped up the adoration . All bluff , no substance. My gAss mate has started calling for Clark's head, thing is who could have done any better under the circumstances? Didn't they send their No.1 keeper out on loan, then sell 2/3 of their better players replacing them with freebees . Put Pep in charge under those restrictions and he'd struggle. If it was anyone else, I'd probably feel sorry for them. But it ain't , so I don't 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The point I was making about a good Rovers resulted in a better City is a valid one ask anyone who is old enough to remember. I'm old enough to remember (watched Atyeo, yada, yada, yada) and imo you are utterly wrong. Their success, or lack of it, has absolutely no positive upside for Bristol City. Never has; never will. Local derbies aren't all that special; watching City beat ManU was far more pleasurable. Imo. Btw I've been on this forum for many years and some may say made far too many posts but I've never found a need to suggest, as you have, that another forum member is 'stupid' because they have a contrary opinion. You told us yesterday on your "final statement on this subject" that your age and longevity as a supporter makes you wiser than some other posters; if that's true then be wise and attack the post not the poster. 19 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only valid if you can demonstrate that there is an actual correlation between the performance of the 2 clubs. If you have the statistics to support your claim, fine. Otherwise it's just an assertion. In any event, shouldn't it work the other way around? Shouldn't Rovers perform better when we are doing well? Or does the alleged effect only work in one direction? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieH Posted November 23, 2018 Report Share Posted November 23, 2018 13 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Hi @JulieH Regards the police free games or the policed games point, read increasingly up and down the country it's increasingly the case that games are police free? Read a year or 2 ago that Selhurst Park was for example. Would I be right in thinking that the technical definition of "police free" is basically one or 2 spotters? Or is that something separate? Good question police free within our force area is 2 home spotters and 2 away spotters . We call it police free or spotter only. Other forces are similar , I personally don’t know what selhurst park do but often spotter only games are called police free as there are no other additional police allocated to it. Some smaller clubs have completely police free games where no police officers or spotters are involved . It is wholly dependent on the risk each game poses and is done on a match by match basis . There are 5 gradings used on a national level that each club will use. They are police free, spotters only, a grade , b grade or c grade . There is also a c grade with increased risk grading (known as c-ir) football clubs in our force area only pay for a grades and above . it is a very cloudy area between police free and spotters only , as some forces state games are police free when in fact spotters were allocated ! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good post mate. My wider family is half and half. I find it strange when i see immediate families also split but everyone has their own story as to why. I hate that club as a whole (more pity in recent years) but i have decent mates of mine who love their club as much as we love ours. When the initial banter is out of the way I generally have very good and down to earth chats about both clubs with gasheads. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
