My son has lost his wallet and thus his season ticket. I’m guessing there must be a process whereby he proves who he is and can be issued with a substitute ticket (I’m sure ur happened before but can’t remember what we did). Does anybody know what we need to do? 
Thanks in anticipation.

Yep you are drunk and living in cloud la la land. No sense of reality, zero understanding of the disaster-we are in, and a pathetic superficial understanding of football. Get another cider. 

Thanks Billy. Do you really believe that if we sold the whole squad it would recoup £40m in the current transfer market? If so rather think you’re in LaLa Land! And in what way has Pearson created this value? Our most marketable players - Massengo, Scott and Semenyo were already here and he’s not a hands  on coach (but his own admission).

BTW I really do understand the disaster we are stuck in. I saw it yesterday and have been watching for 50 years so have plenty of perspective (in addition to my “superficial understanding of football”)

LJ wins this hands down . Left the club with 38m debts and a squad that no one wants . Pearson is one of the best we have ever had . Created 40/50 m talent from the academy in 12 months . Extraordinary performance when dealing with the squad inherited . 

I assume this is a joke (but I  have been drinking)

OK, so far we have The Masonic and Liquid Assets - anyone want to add further boozers along North Street??

(Probably them all, if we're honest)

Mind you, I can still see that winning goal at Crewe even now. What a night that was - punching the air all the way home,, Brassneck by the Weddoes on repeat on the car stereo .

What a team, what a season. 

 

Great night - my trip home was shorter (Rochdale). Wedding Present top of their game at the time - saw them half a dozen times in a couple of years - loved Brassneck!!!!

You clearly don't remember the strike force of Andy Smith and Phil Jevons. Have they scored a goal yet?

Bit harsh on Jevons - better goals to games ratio than any of Semenyo, Martin or Wells!

Preamble: I’m a Pearson fan, we’re better than we were and we have developed a lot of the younger players. Under current financial circumstances I’m still glass half full.

However, today, he got it wrong. Matty James was an embarrassment - I can only assume not fully fit, but even with that, he didn’t even hit basic standards. The job he had as the back lying midfielder was twofold - first in screening/covering - which he didn’t do - and second in the picking up and distributing. He was slow on that, ponderous and meant by the time he had made a passing decision, the options had gone - it was a bad selection, fullstop, and the hooking indicates he wasn’t fit.

So, if he’s not fit, why also play Williams, who is coming back to fitness? Again, I’m a Joe fan - but he was poor today. However, what do you expect with a non fit player beside him as opposed to Massengo. It was a shocking combined decision.

Then, the actual subbing of James. Needed to go, but putting Wells on was insane. We ended up with four strikers, one of whom ended up at right back - and created nothing after we put the four on. We destroyed our shape like the worst days of Holden.

I think Bell was thrown under a bus today by more senior players. But the upshot for me is the manager got it wrong.

I agree 100% with this and whilst I haven’t read the thread I am sure everybody will agree.

So why, as an experienced coach, did Pearson think playing James and Williams and dropping Massengo and playing Bell at RB was a good idea? My son and I were perplexed when we heard the line up as were others we spoke to. 
 

Genuine question.

Whose name?

Leeds, Everton and Newcastle relegated please and I will drink until I forget my own name.

Can I join you?

Some that names here. Would personally emphasise Mark Hollis and Nigel Blackwell. Rather less known than most names here is the late great Jackie Leven. If you’re yet to discover Jackie, you have a great treat ahead!

Not even in the top 3 worst signings in the last 5 years 

Depends on your criteria.

I’m struggling to post anything meaningful as so many others have articulated far better than I how the OTIB family feel but hope this will bump the thread so others can read your heartfelt post. 

Junk Shop Clothes - The Auteurs.

Great Album. 

Cum on feel the noise - Slade

Who played in a World Cup, both cricket and football? Allegedly Sir IVA Richards played in a football WC Qualifier for Antingua, and of course cricket WC for West Indies.

@BS4 on Tour... any idea if this is actually true?

Don’t know if true but with Viv it would be no surprise! Still the best (cricketer) I’ve ever seen.

Its most definitely the latter imo.

 

I think that you’re right but how do we end up with O’Dowda marking Mitrovic from a corner?

Love the optimism- keep it up.

Not read through this topic completely, so I'm opening myself up for a whoosh here. As well as Gert Meyer and Pertti Jantunen, we also signed another player from the continent at that time, I can never remember his name. Unlike Pertti, he had a full head of dark hair and was from an Eastern European country. Can't find him on the list of players, so maybe just on loan/trial.

From recollection we were interested in a Yugoslavian (as was). Much press coverage because he was continental but never signed.

Clemens Zwinenberg (sp) and Vilmos Sebok at centre half with Gustav Engvall partnering Peter Styvar up top.  Neil Kilkenny providing the regular assists. 

Sebok was ok I thought!

We did - they were genuine contenders and brought a massive following.

And shortly after Jan Möller, who I believe played for Sweden.  He was a giant of a keeper from what I recall. 

Superb keeper - best in my lifetime.

I can't remember a Gloucester cup final ever attracting more than about 10k (possibly prior to my time of 30 years it may have been different) 

Pretty sure we lost that league cup 2nd leg 4-2 & went out on away goals, having beat them 3-1 at Twerton. 

Regularly 20,000+ in the 50s at Ashton Gate and Eastville.
