It’s sad state of affairs when professional sports journalists stoop to writing about wild speculation and rumour. Its common place on here tho - maybe here is where the Post sports journalists get the idea from. It really is quite staggering how frequently you accidentally end up in a section of the forum which you have no interest in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's how they are going to continue then I think the Bristol Post / Bristol Live will go down the pan very quickly and I for one will cheer its demise.

The lad in the video looks like he's mixed heritage and semenyo is black I know that. I watched a video, there was a second or so footage with a guy doing press-ups in City training kit who had a mop of dark hair in a similar style to Antoine. Training camp is in London. Antoine is from London. 2+2 made 5 in this case. Nothing to do with colour of skin...all to do with a second or so view of the back of someone’s head led down facing away from us. Thought it could’ve been Antoine. Went back later took some screenshots....not Antoine but someone else in a City kit with similar hairdo. You sound like you’re trying to turn this into a skin colour issue. It’s not, as I’ve now explained twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NcnsBcfc Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I think it's fair to say, that no-one has signed yet. Because it Would have to be registered; and then we would know. As for Palmer. He's just using up some training kit I think. He's probably got loads in his wardrobe (Huddesfield,Blackburn,derby). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have very little jurisdiction over the website. Like most local papers it is run by the mirror group. They are single handedly ruining local papers in this country.

Very underwhelmed - hate it when we look like old Watford kits - red and yellow stripes or hoops has been the modern way for the Maryhill Magyars - and it should be black shorts. Although we did shake the football world in 1971 wearing a kit similar to the one above which made a certain Grandstand presenter, Sam Leitch, very embarrassed after his pre-match comment: “In Scotland it’s League Cup Final day at Hampden Park, where C*ltic meet Partick Thistle, who have no chance ...” - final score? Jags 4 C*ltic 1 .... and that C*ltic team included Davie Hay, Tommy Gemmell, Jimmy Johnstone, Kenny Dalglish, Lou Macari etc ... and was managed by Jock Stein.
