ten minutes of rough

Positive must be the second half and Reid and Burns. Start them next week.

It's disappointing that in training that SC could not see the benefit in starting Reid, if he has an ambition to press teams then Ried had to start. 

As said we lost it in the first half.

**** 

 

you are so stupid

 

give him a ******* chance

Agree we have to stick with him, after all we don't have much choice do we? But I an fearing the worst, I am already resigned to relegation, the financial penalty for relegation to the bottom flight is minimal, and tbh I don't think the owners cares a lot either way, however I do really believe that at least one Steve cares and that's not the owner. 

Five points from safety we are deep in the brown stuff , never thought I would want us to be in League 1, but that would be a real bonus at the moment.

Hope Cotts can get us some points to avoid the drop, but looking at the way the whole club is being mis-managed can I suggest, to borrow a quote from Maggie, that we go back to our homes and prepare for League 2.

To be fair if we press them hard, a team of Rotherhams calibre will tear ys apart with their slick interplay. Tactics of sitying deep and hoofing it long are justified early on.

No that's rubbish, do we wait until we are 3 down?

Worst piece of GK I've seen live. Palmed straight in the air

He is a very poor keeper.

The elitist led BBC propaganda news and views agency hasn't stopped pumping the airwaves with Nelson Mandela sentimentalities for the past few days. I was trying to watch the end of a Cold War submarine documentary on BBC2 when they first started bleating about his death. I notice that the Lib-Lab-Con high command are all out in South Africa - including warmonger Tony Blair - all at taxpayers' (our) expense of course. The BBC are bigging up all these publicity merchants as well.

So true, it is very tedious, I have not for one minute ever bought into this Mandela love in. Sure Apartheid was Evil, but the problems in SA and other African countries are so deep seated that this whole Mandela thing seems to excuse others of actually doing anything. 

Well at least we know we can compete in this league.....but we did what we had to do, their 'goal' wasn't, and the Diamond formation looked strange for the players, but we need to be more clinical. 

Just when you thought , it can't get any worse....

2 reds what went on?

Or OFF!

Did anyone really think we'd get anything from today,Preston ,good team,will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.

 

Our young lads,destabilised have n't been thrashed that is a good point.

I didn't in fact just a 1-0 is a morale victory...cough

3-0 GAS

Are you happy with this?

No, but I bet SOD is

Wagstaff crossbar. Don't care we lost didn't we.. Pathetic

What's up with you?

O's losing 

Works for me 

Me too

1-0 down sod out

Betterer

Supposed to be a match thread innit? 

I thought that too in retrospect.

But when you're passionate about something, sometimes things dont come across asyou wish.

Maybe thats Holloways excuse as to why he says what he does about us.

Fair enough.

Dont you see that blindly following a club, claiming its support, is being a plastic fan?

When were called Rovers of Bristol FC, play in blue and white and the letter co.es through your door asking you to bend over for the owner at the next home game, are you still going to trot out a line about 55 years of support and this makes you a true fan? Because everyone else will just think you idiot. Have some principles and dignity.

There has to be a line.

A change of name, a change to blue, Holloway. These are some lines we should never cross if we are to keep a shred of pride and dignity.

You talk of dignity and yet you personally seem bereft of that one thing.

Oh but I do understand what it means to support your club and everything you believe it to stand for, its history and heritage.

Which is why john ward will always receive a clap from me and I enjoyed his tenure, Holloway is a nasty piece of gas scum who would se the club you love go down the pan with a smile on his face and a beer in his hand.

If you dont know or cant see that I would genuinely question what you have been doing in your 55 year reign.

I cant believe how quickly people sell out and for go any kind of principles. The bloke openly doesnt like you or your club and if he wasnt a professional footballer would've been escorted past the miners to n sep 4th calling you a ******.

You brought into question my support for this club, I hate that when others do that to other supporters too, a cheap shot. You seem to be obsessed with everything that is not to do with football NOW, but just petty childish dislike for someone because of what happened many years ago.

If Holloway is not appointed then it should be for the right reasons, however I will say that his appointment if it did happen would be   a brave move by the Board, but I can't really see it happening..

You rhetoric is full of hate, I really despair that in this day and age it is still  kicking around like a throw back from the past when football rivalry was just an excuse for a punch up, just why Bristol should be affected with this is a mystery, perhaps though when you look at where both teams are currently there is a clue!! We need to move on educate yourself, think before you open your gob, sure there will be those that will support you on here, there always will, but we need to get real, Oh! and BTW it's 2013 

Because he could do a good job for the club as manager.

And he could, alas as demonstrated on here by those that are less than insightful of what is needed, but prefer to put petty spite in front of common sense is only to apparent.

I have said it before it is one of the reasons we are where we are, some are so stuck in the past it's embarrassing, glad I got out of Bristol all those years ago. I might have turned out narrow minded and obsessed with the Rovers too.

Are sheep loyal to the shepherd?

Show some real passion and ask yourself what does it mean to be a fan.

If anything the blind following and lack of understanding dies make you sound like a dustant utd fan.

Fool, I have been supporting City since well let's say over 55 years, seen many managers come and go, good times bad times, I am a true City diehard, you will just be a fickle fan who bottles it,  and you say I am a 'dustant' ? Utd fan?

What it means to be a fan?

You wouldn't know, obviously...  

Please tell me you haven't just compared people who killed milions of innocent human beings to someone giving out some banter.

Jesus Christ some people need to get a real life. I remember some kid calling me a poo-poo head once in play group in about 1988. Going by this thread, maybe I should still hold a grudge.

You remembered?

No matter who was employed as our Manager I would just have to accept it, I could not just sat 'that's it I'm off, as much as I may want to it wouldn't work, as it wouldn't I suppose all that say that's it, no more City, I mean how can you turn your back on real family?

Loyalty is what makes us City fans, we are not plastic supporters , not the supporters of a team that won the Premier League last May, and switching to the team that look like winning it this May...We are in for the long ride wherever we are taken and whoever is in charge at the time.   

So enough of this BS about not going, won't listen on the radio etc etc, 'cus you know you will that's why you are a  City fan and not Man U, Chelsea or whoever next .

In your opinion of course, now we'll never know. My opinion is things were getting better and the team was starting to gel, especially away from home. I honestly don't believe we'd have been relegated with him in charge. Now it's all back to square 1 again ffs.

Exactly how I feel, I mean what was all that pain for with the winless run and bottom in October? Just when we seemed to be getting it together the recovery has been terminated ...I am at a loss to know who is out there to fit in with the crap Philosophy that this Board band about. How can you build anything, even Pillars on shifting sands?

Pillars? more like PILLOCKS!!
