Taz Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 29 minutes ago, fgrsimon said: To be fair to SL the interviewer did ask him directly about the Bears and specifically about the contrast in experience between DH and Pat Lam, so he had to ralk about the rugby. Fair enough. 28 minutes ago, chinapig said: I am a rugby fan but does Steve imagine that if the Bears were struggling their fans would be consoled if City were top of the table?! He really doesn't understand the mentality of sports fans at all. I think that was made clear when we appointed Holden whilst our stock was high. In comparison the Rugby club get the best available to them, we get the pound shop equivalent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I get the impression that SL has lost touch with the Bristol City fans. He's totally motivated by Bristol Sport imo. It's his baby...his dream. It clouds his judgement. He loves the idea so much, that he thinks football fans feel the same way...and that we feel connected to Bristol Sport. I know I don't...couldn't give a toss about the rest of it tbh. To bring the Bears into the equation during the interview proves that imo. It's now his mindset...and he expects us to follow.

As others have said, he's been lucky there are no fans at matches...but I feel for the bloke. Out of his depth and sinking fast. Should it though? It’s almost like a Rovers fans reply to Mark Little on Twitter about racism - his fault for being on social media and reading it apparently! No one deserves personal abuse for just not being good enough at their job. He’s not intentionally doing badly Same applied for Lee. Too many people resorted to personal insults for some sad reason.

MarcusX Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 26 minutes ago, The Bard said: I'm a Rugby fan too and that infuriated me just as much. It's bizarre how he can get one thing very right (the thing he believes he knows less about) but the other wrong. He clearly believes he is the reason why we did the double in 2015 too. Borderline delusional I’m a Bath fan as my uncle used to take to watch when I was younger, so no I don’t really take any joy out of where Bristol are in the league. Imagine how Rovers orientated, Bristol rugby fans would feel if it was the other way around and he said at least the football club are doing well (not heRd the actual comments btw just going off the reaction here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Banjo Red Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 I think most people have commented nice bloke, out of his depth and possibly another yes man.

It’s definitely worth a listen on City’s Twitter feed as GMcG tells Holden some appalling statistics of our season so far and Dean’s reply was “I don’t want you in our changing rooms tomorrow night, Gregor”. I’ve never heard anybody go for a City gaffer like that.

I must have not heard that bit courtesy of Gregor: SL: "Pat Lam is an exceptional coach. The likes of a Pat Lam in football is equivalent to a Pep Guardiola... We're not quite in that category at the moment. We have to build to that. I understand that envy. Enjoy what the Bears are doing." Personally - as someone with zero interest in rugby - I neither envy the 'Bears' nor take any enjoyment from anything they achieve. And even if I did it wouldn't compensate for having season ticket to watch turgid football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
