That's cool...shame people turned to TV and food over lock down. I took up cycling and did a lot more walking. Gave up cycling now as I just found the traffic a ball ache. But have found other outdoor activities to do.

Thanks for explaining the background. Although I feel sorry for anyone who hasn't got far more things to do than watch Netflix on a bank holiday.

Why don't I need ' to get it?' Please explain. There are people of my Generation in that video. What does anyone gain from walking behind a bloke playing drum and bass? Is it a feeling of belonging? Just trying to get my head around waking up on a bank holiday and deciding to walk around Bristol streets following a bloke playing music on speakers? Drum and bass has been around for years...so it's not a new thing or for the 'kids'. Back in the day I used to watch local band Kosheen play regularly. Not being funny...just intrigued.

I don't get it...yeah...I know I'm old...but some bloke with a glorified Ghetto blaster and people just following like the pied piper with rats...it's just weird

Not Bristol or local...but this is one great line up playing soon. If this was back in the 80s. https://cruelworldfest.com/

If you think we've got problems on this forum re reactions...then read the post match comments on the Foxes forum. https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/134410-bristol-city-1-0-lcfc-post-match-thread/#comments

Great interview, so refreshing to hear someone speak normally, with passion and not full of clichéd coaching talk.

Yes you missed it fella...he mentioned it a few times.

According to Google, Onyego means child of the sun gods. And there was me hoping it was an instruction to Manning

Vyner will be getting image rights for this. We are led by donkeys. Crayola thinks he's a Maverick. Doing it his way. Ignoring everything that's worked before. We are truly ******. When Billionaires become so detached from reality and surround themselves with yes men who know they can make a buck or two from the narcissistic and delusional. Maverick values... https://www.bristol-sport.co.uk/careers/ https://www.reachfeverpitch.com/about

I enjoyed watching that. For all the ' negatives' mentioned by Trundle about GJ in his time here, it's worth noting how many times Trundle mentioned that he was wrong in his reaction to GJ, and that he should have dealt with the situation differently. There speaks a man who's matured and realised it wasn't so professional. Hindsight is a wonderful thing and comes with experience and maturity. Which imo, is why we need experienced older heads in the squad. To speak to and educate the younger less experienced players when things don't go accordingly to how they expect. We need experienced leaders in the squad on match day and whilst training. You don't want to hear it from just the coaching 'hierarchy '...you need to hear it from the players as well. Otherwise it becomes a them and us situation.

Or he comes out Gladiator style and shouts with arms aloft...' Are you not entertained?'...and everyone responds by throwing their season tickets at him ( if they weren't now digital...the bugger thought of that )

I was referring more to the speed at which he speaks. He started slowly, but mid interview reverted to sort.

He should take up commentating on horse racing...he's got projectile verbal diarrhoea. Makes me want to vomit every time I hear him. I feel for our players listening to him every day.

In the same way it can't become about toxic feminism, and exclusion? Playing devil's advocate, as I do agree with your sentiments. I do feel it's good to have inclusivity. But I also feel it's also good to have male only and female only establishments. Not everything has to be all inclusive imo.

Well it's hardly going to be a badge of 'Pride' if woman pretending to be blokes were involved is it...Cmon keep up

That's a great initiative. There seems to be far more all female initiatives.

I touched on it before...apart from the infrastructure, which is better, football is now about all inclusivity. It's a bit like going to the cinema now. I'm not saying that's a negative...but probably why it's such a sterile atmosphere. From the same link...

Just to clarify... you're over everything that is remotely offensive to your tree hugging anxiety ridden community. Fair shout I'd say. Touche.

The one thing that stands out when such conversations come about, is how many ' types' spend ages trolling the net to find images and content, and post over and over again, to get their points across that people are conditioned and triggered and that their view is better and more reasoned. They seem more triggered, offended and outraged, and spend more time trying to prove how wrong others are, at having a different opinion. I'm not sure what's worse. Those that are ' offended' or those that are triggered by the ' offended'.

I don't do any of those so wouldn't know. Although the thought of fishing, just being away from everything in nature is appealing.

I guess many of us on here were there back then. And we all remember how it was...but it's an eye opener as to how many more people now attend imo. Your second paragraph could still be a reflection of many football clubs/ stadiums around the world. Less so in wealthier Europe, but in other football mad countries it applies. Misplaced nostalgia...sometimes...but we had no alternative. That's how it was. If our part of the world hadn't changed, we'd still be going, and still enjoying it. Like many do in those same circumstances in say the likes of South America and Eastern Europe. I know I have fonder memories of those times than I do from more recent times. And have enjoyed visiting foreign stadia in the those conditions now. You mentioned it was exclusively a male pursuit...which made me wonder...is there anything in this country that males do exclusively as a collective anymore? I can't think of anything.

Average league attendances for football league clubs. A real eye opener.

Yes, that's why I see past his presentation style, as travel and food programmes are what I watch most. Now Antony Bourdain was a mardy sod...which I actually prefer

Maybe...seems he's a bit marmite with viewers. Comes across like a character from the sit coms he writes. Over the top. Each to their own though. I'll still watch
