Good punch by Gunn there but if a striker challenges like that it’s a feee kick everytime

There's been a number of great games so far and we're only three days in!

It's shouldn't be a red but if Curry's was then that certainly was. No consistency.

As said - the game of Rugby Union is now a complete joke. Boring and nearly unwatchable

The Tour came through LA a few years ago and they did Providence Ln, an 8% gradient climb over 1km. Brutal. 

I went and saw the finish of the Tour in Cheltenham a few years back. I don't really get it, waiting around for hours for 30 seconds of action. Was in hospitality thankfully so a free bar and food, at least!

I love riding through LA, i suppose when you do ride you appreciate the difference in watching the  pros make what is so hard look bloody easy!!

That's another descent I gingerly negotiate. I'm almost as slow going down them as going up them! Same going down Hinton Hil

And I'm wary of the cows on Hawkesbury common, but haven't been attacked yet

 

Hahaha im the same - hate those bloody cows!!

I’ve also been wary of the descent after the monument after seeing a bloke unconscious on one of the corners as it’s so fast but awful roads at times.

I'll look out for filled potholes the next time I go down there . But these guys go so fast they probably skip over the rough bits!

When I go down there it's always with brakes almost full on!

I went up the other night and then turned left by the monument, got some good speed down until i saw a massive pothole and gravel and was glad i had disc brakes!!

It's a tough climb, as is Stinchcombe, which they all sailed up at some pace making it look easy

Hahaha - there are a few round here, Frocester is another ball breaker that they would make look easy

I was expecting some excitement going down Horton hill...but it looks like all the gravel and pot holes had disappeared

I went up that the other day, had me blowing

It's an accidental clash of heads. Rugby is competing with football now it seems.

May as well make the game touch rugby

Don't have the numbers to hand but it's several hundred. Sorry but I couldn't disagree more. Probably leave it at that.

Fair enough - enjoy the game, for me it’s now a shadow of the game it once was.

Wait for the cases from players with permanent brain damage to come up. Rugby has to do something to survive. 

How many cases are there from the hundreds of thousands of players that play? I’ve no idea, but if that’s a red card the games absolutely dead 

God knows how you lot take this game seriously anymore

Yes mate...I use it regularly. If you can get a table outside on a sunny day it's fab. 

Small plate type Tapas. Not a huge menu.

The Calamari is freshly made and good quality. 

Negroni is nice as well. 

Estrella too.

 

Cheers - i will give it a go then

Has anyone been to the olive shed on the harbour? I walked past it the other day and the food looked quite nice, might pop in for lunch next time im passing 

After seeing that - deffo pen for me on Sykes 

Does anyone know how i link my mates account to mine so i can buy the tickets so we can sit together on an iPhone

You win against Swansea, we take three points off Cardiff.       Norwich lost too, not a bad set of scores is it.   

Sorry you couldn't get past them in the Cup midweek, we really were hoping you'd do it.

Couldn't be at PR today but apparently there were some wild scenes at the final whistle.    Naturally after turning around a two goal deficit to win   3 - 2.        As someone said in this league anything can happen, all manner of teams can or will make the play offs or get a promotion.         I know what's it like to want to return to the top flight after so long away, you almost crave for it even if it IS spoiled and ruined by money and greed.        Highlights show should be worth seeing later and then some.   

 

I won’t lie - I’m gutted you lot have started so well

Assuming you are correct and Steve has laid out £250m of his own cash and if he got nothing at all back he has lost less than £12.5m per year. If he could recoup a relatively paltry £100m of his £250m outlay for the privilege of owning Bristol City FC, Bristol Bears RFC, Bristol City WFC, Bristol Bears WRFC and Bristol Flyers Basketball for over 20 years a billionaire has paid out less than £7.5m per year of his own cash in effect...........and forgetting any benefits of being the Owner in the first place to his business interests. If he recoups £150m it's less than £5m per year etc. etc. Let's be honest here, that level of spend to a billionaire is an expensive HOBBY. A competitive match angler on £35K per year will spend a higher proportion of their disposable............

Of course everyone is grateful for the money but the narrative that the guy has sold the family silver to follow HIS OWN ambitions to purchase the vast majority of the Bristol sporting empire is slightly misguided and hasn't been thought through.

You have put it much better than me!! It’s not as if he will be visiting a food bank anytime soon is it. For clarity, i don’t dislike SL, i do think mistakes have been made and lessons not learned (Tinnion, Millen, Holden), however Ashton was the worst mistake he made and it seems he’s lost interest since then to me.

Dumb post. He will sell the club and AG for a significant amount of money, recouping much of what he has put in. The remaining money he'll "lose" will be seen by him as a bargain for the prestige, interest and soft power we have brought him and H&L. He has said as much himself. 

SL is currently a non-UK citizen and his son and our chairman lives in Bermuda. What difference exactly if a new owner lived in the US or the Middle East? Do you have a specific problem with people from these parts of the world?

As for supporting Rovers, you can **** right off. 

It’s also very difficult to criticise and say what I’d do if i was a billionaire, however the fact is, if i was a billionaire I’d have been prepared to put in as much as SL has.

I despair, we have a Bristolian owner who has invested at least £ 250million pounds in the club with no return and not the slightest chance of selling for remotely anything like that but is constantly criticised. Apparently he is an absent owner, would his critics prefer the owner to live in the US or the Middle East? I’m a long time season ticket holder who is disappointed by our present position and could possibly complain about his selection of managers but otherwise very grateful. His critics should support the Rovers as that’s where we would be without him!

Weird take on things - dont agree with how certain things are done so go and support the gas!! Supported City before SL and i shall support the after SL.

That, without doubt, is his best game in a City shirt, don’t even try to convince me otherwise!

Seriously, really, really good.  His work without the ball between Nathan Wood and Josh Key was superb.  He sparked so many loose balls for us to contest, or stray passes from it.

With the ball, he did one turn inside his own half, which was what he did early last season, and his confidence oozed after that.

Mint finish, breaking ankles

And then the run and cross for Belly.

Well played Syko Killer.

How did you think Josh Key played? I didn’t see the game

This will be a good first half of the match day thread to reread later!

To be fair it was largely very positive 

I parked directly opposite the away end last season for £5, literally 2 min walk across the dual carriageway

If he won't do anything,then the fans will have to ,like a protest, enter the ground but stay in the concourse untill after the kickoff whistle, with a banner demanding "LANSDOWN OUT", in the South Stand,just an idea, 

You will Still need a buyer with very deep pockets!!
