ashton_fan Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I used to get Shoot every week. Regarding the kit I believe that we had white shorts and red socks that season, the black was part of our second strip of white shirts and black shorts, not sure why we ended up with that combination against Man City? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Kev M was a good player, shame he got injured . I loved Shoot. I was allowed a couple of comics a week and when I discovered it this was my fav. I probably started reading from the first few editions, wish I'd kept some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Used to get it as a kid in the 90s. Back when checking teletext for scores was the done thing. How am I this old? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have black shorts in the home kit one season though. Maybe the season after relegation from the First Division ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Match and Roy of the Rovers for me. No surprise to you all, but the “stats” stuff in Match was what differentiated it from Shoot. Once a geek, always a geek. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudski Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Wish we wore those colours now. Looks so smart, especially with trim. Much prefer black shorts to white. Not many teams play in plain red shirts and black shorts. Loads in red and white. Think we did around 1982. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I used to love both Match and Shoot, especially the action shots from games. The annuals were always in my Xmas stocking. Kits were so much better back then without the sponsors emblazoned on them. I like the red and black too. Much better than all red when we play away to teams with white shorts (I know this season there seems to have been a change in rules about clashing shorts). 24 minutes ago, Davefevs said: Match and Roy of the Rovers for me.

Especially how the players could hear conversations between people in the crowd! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 There was a city fan who wrote a column, monthly for when saturday comes late 90s, early 00. Matt something his name was. Recall he was no fan of steve torpey. Used to say he jumped like a man stuck to fly paper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had that one. Toss up for me between that and the Umbro one as our best ever. I agree with the posters saying we should wear black shorts. Red and white lacks identity. I like what Sampdoria do with their plain blue and white…. The stripe makes it unique. We could do similar and claim an identity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot , Match and Roy of of the Rovers were the highlight of the week for me - along with watching teletext for score updates (waiting for the pages to change). Roy of the Rovers was great - loved Billy's boots and Hotshot Hamish & Mighty Mouse. Jesus how the world has changed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderJar Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I recently sold a load of Shoot and Scoop comics, people will spend £2 or £3 each in the right condition. I sold around 40 for £100. Great stuff although my sister used to read "Striker" before me and tell me the plot, an early spoiler she was (not you @Chessels Chick another sister).

RedRock Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Nah, could never beat Charles Buchan's publication ‘Football Monthly’. Shows I was a trail blazer as an internet football forum contributor and an astute observer of the game that I had a letter published, aged 13, bemoaning (nothing changes there) the fact that the magazine ignored teams from the South West. I highlighted the fact we had talent such as Chris Garland and Trevor Francis. Think I received £5 for having the letter published - which was great riches in those days. Like another life frankly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City Rocker Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I was an avid Shoot reader - or 'SHOOT! incorporating GOAL!' as it became some time in the late 70s, I think. Kevin Keegan and Gordon Hill both wrote regular columns and I remember being thrilled when they talked about their games against us. "Bristol City are too good to go down", Kev assured us, and he was dead right too, as the events away to Coventry a few weeks later were to prove. Happy days.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 Shoot! Blimey. League Ladders, George Best column, Bobby Moores column, "you are the ref". It was a great mag in the 70's 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with black is that we always seem to get relegated when it's in the first strip (last time was 2012-13 when SO'D was manager and we went down). We also went down the season shown in your picture (Mick Harford). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
