22A

A similar question to this was asked nearly 20 years ago on this very forum. Many people stated they wouldn't like the Prem due to plastic fans, high prices kickoff times and days changing at short notice etc. The overall consensus was for City to be a consistently strong 2nd tier team with a good cup run every few years. Then came that play off final v Hull and everyone's opinion changed to We can do this".

When Big Brother first aired, you the viewer could use the red button on your remote and choose from which of eight cameras you wanted to watch. Could we have that introduced for sports events?

There were time v Leeds when it appeared (to me) City were playing 5 strung across the pen area,-3 no too forward of them and -2 waiting for the long pass to them.

Their goal came from being faster than us. Their almost 2nd came from yet another misplaced pass.

Half time thoughts. Is it my imagination or are the Leeds players, man for man, faster than ours? Why are so many City passes going astray? City do seem to have picked up for the last 10 mins of that first half.

Sorry' I didn't realise it was a pro Leeds commentary.

OK folks; sound & vision all up & running. https://sports-10.com/bristol-city-v-leeds-utd/

For those who can't attend tonight and don't have Sky either; this appears to be working; https://sports-10.com/bristol-city-v-leeds-utd/ I'll click on it just before KO to confirm.

https://www.motforum.com/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=46057 Bristol are a dirty team of cloggers and the fact it's been moved to a Friday night for SKY fiils me with non optimism. Hope I'm wrong! No change there then, Swannie. No doubt the referee will turn a blind eye once again. I watched them on TV a few days ago and commented on here that they were the dirtiest team I'd seen this season. I think it was v Wet Spam Disgraceful tactics

I selected https://sports-10.com/ for the last two games. They give an option of all games taking place that afternoon or evening. Select which one you want and away you go. Pictures and sound and nothing to pay, all in this country too.

The win was there, but too often the final pass through to a forward fell short. Just like the Forest game, it made interesting viewing for neutral. Some Coventry fans are not happy; https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/coventry-city-bristol-city-fc-match-thread-tuesday-30th-jan.156447/page-23 Take the point, but that wasn't great from us. At least we managed not to lose. Shitty game and no one put in a performance. Take it and move on. Need to be winning those sort of games if we're serious about playoffs. Bristol City are bang average. What a bloody awful game of football.

EEK! The action keeps freezing. Is it the same for everyone, or just me?

No; they're catching to prevent further falling down the leagues.

Yep; https://sports-10.com/coventry-v-bristol-city/ they appear to have every City game lately. Or we'll break your neck!

Now you're showing your age. Russell Osman was in midfield for that game.

Any point in going? Coventry fans seem to think they'll win 2-0. https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/coventry-city-bristol-city-fc-match-thread-tuesday-30th-jan.156447/ We battered them at their place and managed to lose 1 nil. Missed chance after chance and they scored with their first attempt on target. We will put that right with a 2 nil win. Not an easy game at all, they are decent, but we are better and I do expect a narrow victory. 2-0 back to clean sheets for the first time in a while, Thomas and Wright to score. 2-0 3-0 if we play well Seems harsh to drop Palmer imo as he’s been consistently good of late. Want revenge for losing to that garbage Pearson side, but will be tough to get it.

A bit of variety then; it's nearly 40 years since we last played Newport; 14 March 87, a 4-0 win to e the double over 'em that season.

As Maidstone are 6th tier, today was the 7th round played as Maidstone entered at the2nd qualifying stage on 16th Sep A team in the Prem or Champs "only" has to win 6 games to lift the cup.

That comment may be lost on the young 'uns, nearly 20 years ago now. The trouble between the large group of supporters started on Radcliffe Road, Nottingham, after Saturday's game. The nearby Amici wine bar was damaged inside and out during the incident. Three men from the Avon and Somerset area, aged 17, 41 and 44, have been arrested on suspicion of violent disorder and criminal damage

Agreed; a great game for neutral viewers. Four bookings in the first half, but it wasn't a dirty foul ridden game.

That link worked for me thanks, but my PC warned me of Malware on that site. I pressed on regardless and it seems to be OK.

Regardless of tonight's result, this may be of interest; The FA Cup fifth-round draw will be held on Sunday 28 January at around 2.10pm GMT.

Following consideration by the EFL Board, the League can today confirm the fixture schedule for the 2024/25 season with kick-off set to take place over the weekend of 10/11 August 2024, with the regular League campaign ending on May 3, 2025. The 46 rounds of League matches will take place across 33 weekends, 9 midweeks and 4 Bank Holidays in the Championship, with Leagues One and Two playing over 36 weekends, 6 midweeks and 4 Bank Holidays. The Cup and Trophy competitions remain in their current formats with the Carabao Cup beginning in mid-August and the Group Stage of the Bristol Street Motors Trophy, involving League One, League Two and 16 invited under-21 Premier League teams, starting in early September. The Sky Bet Play- Offs will take place over the 2025 May Bank Holiday Weekend.

And we used to laugh at Oxford's Manor Ground. For you young 'uns, three stands on one side of the pitch. Like many old grounds, The Manor Ground was unique. It had four sides like most stadia in England, but each stand looked as though it had come from different grounds around the country.

Nat Lge South table is not such pleasant reading compared to earlier in the season. Yeovil remain top, 13 points clear of Worthing and 16 clear of 3rd placed Hampton. Further down though; Torquay have climbed back to 6h, WsM are up to 15th and Taunton are 20th, but have a few games in hand over Weymouth, above them and Eastbourne who are 21st.
