They were really good a season or two ago .

What has happened this season for the down turn in form ?

Teams figured us out and understood that rush defense and hitting hard beats us every time

Lost some good players and brought in some massively overrated / overpaid players. Kyle Sinckler has been a massive dissapointment for me.

Next season looks promising on paper. Malins coming back is huge. Need to do all we can to retain Thacker.

Thacker has resigned 

I'm looking forward to this, can't believe it's my first game of the season!!

And now Thacker an luatua have signed new deals, great news

That is awesome!! Really pleased with all the signings today. Still waiting for the big one to take the place if Semi and Charles. Don't forget the Fijian centre coming over who could be a star

They're doing contract renewals tonight as well. 9 in total with Heenan, Holmes and O'Connor already announced.

Suspect Oghre coming in means that Thacker will go, it's pretty much a like for like replacement.

Or it could be a second hooker that plays the same style.

Bullshit decision.

I'm not sure what he was supposed to do there. 

I like it.

Guinness any day. 

My preference is red wine so how about France, Spain, Portugal or Australia ?

Argentina for me

A fit Harry Randall must be up for the world cup if these are best scrum halves we have

Here we ******* go!! Playoffs still achievable for both sides!!! I'm a glass half full type of guy

Uren is gone at the end of the season, off to Italy. Can't say I'm disappointed, he hasn't been playing well this season and that box kick against Saracens was a shocking decision which cost us 4 points

My Manchester mate said we're a tidy side. Let's be honest this is a whole different level, if we learn from it, it will only benefit all the young lads for next season

Excuse my ignorance what is it Bristol might do? 

At times over the past few days it's been torrential 

There is an outside chance of getting into the playoffs, it's a very slim chance admittedly but still mathematically possible. Much like City.

I'm ever the optimist, a poor game tonight but 2 wins on the bounce. Next Friday will see where we are against Northampton. Win that then there is hope. We can do it, we definitely have the players to do it, it depends if we click.

It is truly is an abhorration …. so cheap looking… league 2 standard at best.

Can’t see our younger fans snapping these shirts up… I mean them being brand conscious… 

Even the gas have a more credible shirt manufacturer…

just soo badly advised… who signed this off at the club? Bermuda Jon?

 

Well my son loves it, if that's anything to go by. He's 16.

Bears TV, same guy presenting as Robins TV. Wonder if they'll make this a permanent thing

I had a mate in the Army who's first tattoo had a spelling mistake, from then on he deliberately misspelled every tattoo he had(and there where quite a few) so that it looked like it was on purpose, maybe the same is happening here

This was my issue. Have family who is a member and I've bought tickets for us both online this season. When I tried to assign a ticket to him it said he didn't qualify. When I searched for him to add to my list it said he didn't exist - although I have assigned tickets to him before this season. So, ITV it is 

Same here for my son. I got mine but they wouldn't let me do his even though his membership is in my account. Looks like I'll be watching on TV too!

He's  already got 15 caps for Wales chief.

Everyone was injured. I just don't think he's international level. He's gone backwards in my view in the last 2 years.

Rumour is that Semi Radrada going to Lyon, Piatua leaving and Sheedy to join a Welsh club to stay eligible for Wales.

 

Sheedy has no chance of playing for Wales, he's far from international level. 

I can't see past France to be honest. Second third and fourth is up for grabs, but I would like to see Italy do well, they have Wales at home and might surprise Scotland

Excellent, can get back to the pub in time to watch England get stuffed by France.

So will Bears members get the chance to buy tickets at the same time as City members ? 

Yes, but it works both ways if Bristol ever start winning again

On 31/01/2023 at 13:56, Super said:

Why should Bears members get any priority?

Because, like myself they're City fans too. Doesn't matter what membership you buy they count the same

Was the replay in line with it or from the gantry position ?

 

No, but it was offside

You must have had a great view of Bells disallowed goal - was it offside from your perspective ?

It was clearly offside from the TV replay
