The pressing monster Chris Martin ?

Yep, with his youth, mobility, work rate, and pressing, he'd fit right into the way the team is evolving/has evolved.

 

I think anyone who thinks keeping CM would be a good idea, has obviously missed the fact he’s ended up at Dismaland.

Because the current mood of OTIB is to exclusively find fault with SL/JL and anything they’ve ever said. Ever. 
 

Bristol Sport listed this recently. It’s a disgrace. It’s not “Bristol City” it should be “Nigel Pearson’s Bristol City”.

The level of disrespect shown to him here is staggering

Respect is earned. Never had any for Jon. In a job he’s totally unsuitable for through nepotism. 
 

What I had for Steve has been slowly eroded over the last few years. H

Wow…..

Live on air just called Steve Evans ‘the fat man’

37.30 in…
 

What an odious ****** he is 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0gkd5sj

from their forum

I’ve just listened to Steve Evans and I actually felt sad because of what has become of our club. He spoke well of us as a club and Barton and that scumbag, absolute scumbag resulted in calling him fat and weeble. 

I can’t wait till this arsehole is gone now, I genuinely feel sorry for Steve Evans and our club. 

If you are reading this our new owners, please please act and put a decent human being in charge of our team. 

Someone’s appearance should not and never be mentioned, if he said ginger, someone’s skin colour, he’d be questioned and probably even sacked but it’s ok, he’s fat.

Evans said at the end, we are great fans, make a great atmosphere, I despise Barton.

Would ideally want Nige to stay, but....I wonder if Graham Potter fancies a "project".

I have considered (and ruled out) Paul Kitson and Steve Claridge, but can’t for the life of me work out who this was.

Not sure that Bairstow makes a good opener?

Averages 46 with a strike rate of over 100. 
 

Got to laugh at some on here. 10 overs into Afghanistans inning we weren’t going to qualify!! Certainly brings out the doom mongers. 
 

Long way to go yet and plenty of batting still to come.

Always replies promptly on the platform that was formerly twitter. (X) Helpful as always. 

For anyone not on that platform, that's as much use as Anne Frank's drum kit.

I think SL has had a remarkably easy ride tbh. I don’t condone violence or threats whatsoever but consider the abuse that the Everton, West Ham and Man U owners have been on the end of (whilst playing premier league football) I.e. death threats, told to keep away from the ground by police and various ongoing action by the Man U green &  gold lot. I think we can all agree the aforementioned clubs have enjoyed a bit more success than us over the years. 

He's played a blinder extending his stand all the way back. No more car park to protest in like the good old days behind the Grandstand.

Clever bloke is R Steve.

So it would mean Lansdown hasn’t learnt from Fawthrop, Tinnion, Millen, Holden. 

Well Scott Davidson was chairman when Fawthrop was appointed, but no I don’t think he has learnt and I think he’d love to see an internal appointment succeed. Otherwise why keep doing it?

4 minutes ago, Superjack said:

Hope not. 

Not with any justification really, I have nothing against King, but if we were to go along the internal appointment route (which we all know, bar Robins, Lansdown will), I just have a feeling (nothing more) that Euell would be the best option. 

What the **** am I talking about? The best option is to keep Nige. Obvs!

A new contract for NP is also my preferred option. 
 

But I can see a situation where if we don’t finish top 10, Nige is let go and Euell promoted. Conway, Vyner or Pring sold for decent money, Euell given about 10% to spend and expected to perform miracles. 

4 minutes ago, Superjack said:

Home to Coventry next. Given that nobody knows who may be in charge next season, anyone worried that Lansdown might invite a certain opposition manager up for a chat? 

Disclaimer: Just mischief making really... though I wouldn't be ****ing surprised.

If SL lets Nige leave, I think Jason Euell’s name will be high on the list.

How is Kovacic still on the pitch?! 

Why’s he on the pitch in the first place? Can’t believe Pep bought him, a walking yellow card.

We've probably been denied 10 this season aleady, so it'll probably be well into triple digits since 2015.

You’re probably right. I reckon we could have had 5 in the last 3 games.

Just watched the EFL highlights. How on God`s green earth did the Leeds striker miss that open goal? Rosenthal-esque! I can only think he took his eye off the ball and it hit his ankle but he still should have scored.

What was the XG of the chance out of interest does anyone know?

Come off it, he only cost £35M…

He’s no Tommy Conway for sure. 

Bournemouth play Wolves and Burnley in the next 2 fixtures. They could probably do with winning both of those as the 3 after are Liverpool (cup), Man City and Newcastle. 
 

Reckon they’ll be after a new Guy by bonfire night…

It’s amazing they ever lose any game. Joeybag tells radio Bristol they were the better team every week.

At the top of the game, racism and all forms of discrimination is rightfully treated very seriously. 

But the further you go down the game, from the top of clubs to the bottom, it becomes less serious. "Its just banter init" I get told. 

I've been the victim of hate speech and like you say it's not a memory that ever goes away. Especially when you call someone out for it and they then turn it on yourself by calling you a snowflake or that you're too sensitive and that you need to man up.

Those attitudes can cause deep psychological problems in the victim. It then prevents things being reported because the victim then starts to believe that everyone has that same attitude and that their complaint won't be taken seriously and that then enables further discrimination. 

I know a young disabled adult. Lovely guy. He was trolled by a person online about his disability. The troll is a footballer that plays at a decent semi pro level. He sent this lad thousands of vile messages. Comparing him to Harvey Price, calling him all the vile names you can think of. 

I went through all the FA rules and they are very clear. It says stuff such as participants shall never engage in any form of online hate speech, discrimination, bullying, harassment etc. The perpetrator tried to hide behind the fact it was in private but we provided the FA rules to him which said due to the nature of the messages the right to privacy may not exist. We sent this guy all the rules etc. He laughed it off. Said he knew people within his local FA that would make it go away. 

This guy is also a Uefa B coach, it absolutely terrifies me that this man is out there coaching children, potentially disabled children. 

We repeatedly asked him to stop as it had a huge impact on this lads mental health. To the point where the lad was sending me messages saying he was considering self harming. 

So on his behalf I gathered all the evidence and sent it to that guys local FA. Didn't recieve a response. So I then contacted them again complaining I'd not recieved a response. They then replied asking for additional info which we provided, and not had a response from them. 

This guy continues to bully this lad on a daily basis and actively mocks him for reporting him to the FA and the FA not doing anything about it. Last night he sent him a message gloating because he's playing in a game today. 

There are some really good people within football, however by and large the sport is rotten to the core with outdated attitudes and people who enable those vile behaviours. 

They all scream from the rooftops about how seriously they take all forms of discrimination but when it comes to it they close ranks to protect their mate who they think is a good guy.

 

Sounds like you need to get the old bill involved.
