Apart from a couple football league trophy games what I can remember, have we ever won a penalty shootout

We have won 4 out of a total of 12 >

Not sure if it's been mentioned in the previous 27 pages but the referee on Sunday is Graham Scott and we will be treated to VAR !!!!!

Will this be our first experience of VAR, or was it used at the Etihad in 2018 ?

I saw this in the Chair's Report for 2023 :

"The Supporters Club & Trust is the main recognised supporter group involved in all aspects of interest for supporters alongside another specific group for senior supporters. We actively use our website, social media, internet forums and online survey tools. www.otib.co.uk has 18,000 members (5,500 have posted 10 or more times and 365 OTIB Supporters who pay £5 annually to help fund the site)"

I would have guessed that there must be  a higher proportion of "Members" who are "Supporters" (approximately 2%) !

You can reel off loads of top players & yet no one all the way back to Tom Ritchie has scored 50 league goals in the second tier or above for us until today.

He’s been a superb professional, complete team man & absolute bargain at £2m.

You don’t have to spend long thinking about some shite we have paid more for who haven’t given us a fraction back of what he has.

Big fan, delighted for him.

Looking at level 2 in the League, only 2 players have scored more than Andi's 50.

John Atyeo (1951 to 1966)  137 goals

John Galley (1967 to 1972)   83 goals

Good to see it's available on Robins TV - but I'm not sure that Naismith & Wells need to be in the studio from 2.30pm - the usual official website accuracy !

Does anyone know who would attend EFL meetings to represent BCFC ?

Signed 01/03/1961 from Huddersfield Town and left for Stockport County on 20/07/1968

League apps 203 (+2 sub) and 12 goals

Other apps 21 and goals 2

Leroy Lita scored 2 as a sub twice  :  26/12/2003 away at Brentford in League 2   &  16/11/2002 away at Heybridge Swifts in FA Cup round 1

I could be wrong, I can could check, but to my recollection one vs Norwich at home 31st October 2020 and then subsequently the only one was vs Hull in February this year. 

If anyone can remember any others in the League at home in the League in that period.. but I can't..

Just checked and someone has edited Wikipedia wrongly..claimed that James goal v Plymouth was a penalty which it certainly was not.

 

I believe the record of HOME penalties for previous 5 seasons is :

--------------------------------------------

Season 2018/19  07/10/18 v Sheffield Wednesday - Matty Taylor

Season 2018/19  12/02/19 v QPR - Famara Diedhiou

--------------------------------------------

Season 2019/20  29/12/19 v Luton Town  Famara Diedhiou

--------------------------------------------

Season 2020/21  24/10/20 v Swansea City - Nahki Wells

--------------------------------------------

Season 2021/22 ----- NONE -----

--------------------------------------------

Season 2022/23  25/02/23 v Hull City - Nahki Wells

Was he the chap that scored a hattrick in a 4-3 win on a Tuesday night in the 1980s? I've been trying to get the name without looking it.

Boxing Day 1984 (Wednesday) City 4 (Hutchinson 2, Walsh 2) Plymouth 3 (Tommy Tynan 3)

At least we don't have to worry about Tommy Tynan !!!

Help. I've logged in but cant get the f...g system to accept my card details. I tap to put the card numbers in but nowt shows. Nobody in the Bristol City office to help of course. Any thoughts?

Same here. The "Card Details" has only one box for input and accepts nothing typed ! Looks like a fiver saved ! 

A bit of a technical problem at the Mem :

Not sure how long the site has been like it, but at present you can not buy a S/T in the SW/South stand. Might be because the dots were all muddled up and needs sorting out.

Perhaps it would have been better to wait for the rows and seats to appear before getting "the dots" out and seats sold !

I've looked on the official site, but no joy. Is there a list anywhere please of appearances & goals for 2022/23? Thanks in advance.

Not so comprehensive as Davefevs version, but >

"Tot" Walsh is the only player to score 6 in a league match. However, it was in the 1926/27 season in a home game against Gillingham which City won 9-4 and went on to finish Champions in Division 3 South.

There were quite a few in the early days, partly owing to the formations used.

From c. 1890 to 1925 and the introduction of the new offside rule (previously no players were allowed to be ahead of the ball, meaning no forward passes as in rugby), this was the standard formation:

Flicking through more recent seasons I can add Alan Williams with four away against Halifax in Division 3 1963.

I'm very impressed by @slartibartfast remembering John Atyeo's four goals in 1965!

I think it was Bobby "Shadow" Williams !

It's terrible !!!!!!!!!!!!

Get back to the previous font asap

In all competitions it is 1 in 109 games.

Aka 1 in 9,810 minutes. Excluding extra time, injury time etc.

People may not recall but we got one in the Cup at Millwall in the Covid season, January 2021.

2 in 126 games All competitions post Norwich at home at end of October 2020 or 1 per 63 games...1 penalty per 5,670 minutes.

Wasn't the October 2020 match against Swansea on the 24th and not Norwich on the 31st - Nahki Wells penalty ?

The guide on the official website seems to have "gone back in time" to January 2018 and is written by Adam Baker !

Does the band Rifftoads still exist and are they appearing tomorrow ?

Well done the club media team once again !

Perhaps "launched" today to encourage more "Members" before the Man City game ?

The subject was raised and discussed for several minutes on Adrian Chiles program on Radio 5 this morning. A City fan was on as well as someone quoting some statistics.
