City Rocker

Yep, I had the radio commentary on and when Cov's third went in I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the T20 cricket on Sky.

After 45 years watching the City this is probably the least engaged I have ever felt.

I could not disagree less. They’ve missed 3 relative sitters, we are awful.

Excellent, then it seems we are all agreed!

Fantastic! 

As is this, in a similar Bristolian Americana kind of vibe...

There is a law that referees adhere to and that is Bristol City must not be given a penalty under any circumstances.

Also did I mention Forest have won the European Cup twice? Referees are obliged to take that into account, it's in the rules.

The woman on Robins TV is quite possibly the best co presenter I have seen on there.

Comes over incredibly well.

But...but...how can this be??!

50 minutes to go so won’t shout too much, just yet

Yeah AND they've won the European Cup twice mind, though most people don't know this, it's hardly ever been mentioned.

Strange to hear "We're Nottingham Forest We'll sing on our own" and "Is this a library", yet the City singing has been coming over loud and clear throughout on Sky. Hadn't really even heard Forest until then.

Bizarre acoustics at Ashton Gate.

Yes, this! 

Clear Head, brewed just moments from Ashton Gate and apparently named by the Independent as the "Best British Alcohol Free Beer for 2021".

Is there really anything that could make a modern day professional footballer 'fall out of love with football'?

Well yes, it seems signing for Bristol Rovers would do it. Here's Josh Barrett.

It's turned out OK though for poor Josh as he's signed for the mighty Kings Lynn, where life's not quite so grim and desperate.

'All lives matter'? That's true though isn't it?

Well of course.

Come on, you of all people know that 'opposing prejudice of all kinds' is not a political thing. There were loads of us 2Tone/ska lads at football and we've spent a lifetime opposing racism, as well as misogyny and class discrimination. Black lives matter *as well* is, pretty f cking obviously, the point.

Ask Suggs, Buster Bloodvessel, Terry Hall, Neville Staple... etc

Its BT? Haven't really had that impression....anyway very impressive first half after being slightly under the cosh early days.

Sorry yes BT. Grudging praise of Bristol, genuine excitement at Quins tries.

That's what I'm hearing anyway 

Be nice if the Sky commentators made an effort at least to appear impartial. They are desparate for a Harlequins victory and making little attempt to conceal their bias!

It's amazing it's the same people who assume it's something "bigger" going on. Doesn't matter what the story or scenario, always think it's a conspiracy

I read one theory that the outage was caused by Facebook installing a mind control device. 

I can reassure everyone there is no mind control device. Everything is fine and all is calm. Go back to your homes.

I don’t condone what went on that night and I would never enter the field of play personally, but they did exactly the same to us in 2007. Cue weeks of sanctimony and trying to bury the fact that we put them to the sword with two fabulous goals.

Spot on. Many Rovers fans live in a world of sanctimony, despite the endless, repeated and ever-growing list of hooligan episodes from their own fucktards.

Was Gould at City in Davidson’s days?

I imagine so, probably a social catch up. And none of my business either way!

Who was, intreaguingly, spotted having dinner and a cosy chat with Richard Gould in Clifton on Wednesday evening. Though not at the Avon Gorge Hotel, it should be noted.

Outstanding first thing in the morning fury!  

To be honest, I was a worried some may be offended by the term 'fucktards', so I decided best not to use it in the end

Well I wouldn't go to Shoreditch if I were you, unless you like being laughed at. Not that I agree with it but apparently the trend setters really have it in for beards now. My friend who lives there said he had to shave his beard off after too much unwanted attention. The last straw was when he was refused service at an independent cafe on account of his beard.

Personally I think that men should be able to wear whatever they like, within reason of course.

 

Well I wouldn't stay in Shoreditch if I were you. It sounds like an unpleasant place frequented by bigots, bullies and shallow self-obsessed ********.

The undisputed champions of Tinpottedness. The Doncaster United blue glass trophy is on its way to Wally now.

I believe in this context the correct noun is 'tinpottery'

During the pandemic, Arsenal first put Gunnarsauraus on furlough before finally making him redundant. He only got his job back when Mesut Ozil paid his wages for a period. My guess is that the club still have Scrumpy on furlough and will bring him back soon.

(NB - I’m aware Gunnarsauraus is not a real dinosaur and Scrumpy not a real Robin, I’m clearly referring to the people in the suits before someone pulls me up on that!)

I would love to believe that the role of Scrumpy is a full time permanent salaried position, an employee who could be furloughed, rather than a mate of the tea lady doing us a favour in return for a half time pasty and a cup of Bovril.

Yes, I am choosing to believe that is true, the world just seems better that way.

He'll be one of the Lockleaze crew then. The 'bruvvers'. 

Or a Meader.

A bit of a worry that Crawley (who they play on Saturday) got walloped 6-1 by Charlton tonight. We don`t want them winning two in a row or we`ll be looking over our shoulders again.

Oh shit, I hadn't thought of that. They really are coming for us aren't they? 

Sounds like a giant killing might be on the cards this evening.

And no surprise, if you disrespect the lower league sides like that by playing your youth team, they're gonna raise their game.
