Maesknoll Red

Definitely remember plenty of advertising from him around the Gate back then.

This fan cares about technical development, it’s my main interest in the sport.

,No different than it’s ever been, periods of dominance, can’t recall so many moaning when Mercedes were dominating- probably because Hamilton drives for them. 2016 - I don’t recall the circumstances that saw Ricciardo win the Malaysian GP, but I was at the Spanish GP to witness Rosberg and Hamilton take each other out, handing Verstappen his first win.

Not a single safety car or even yellow flag (IIRC)this race. I’m far from convinced the sprint race is worthwhile, but the rest of it is all about F1, Engineering, driving ability, reliability, strategy, and a bit of luck, with safety cars, yellow and red flags affecting the race. If you want to watch cars that are limited in innovation and budget, there are plenty of race series that do just that - Formula Ford for one.

It’s not new is it, periods of domination have been seen throughout F1. It’s not F1’s problem , it’s the teams that haven’t developed their cars after the rule change problem and they need to catch up. It’s part of the point of F1 - developing the best car within the rules. Red Bull have Adrian Newey he is the difference in this cars development, Mercedes were pretty dominant for a long period, that drew criticism and comment.

You’ll get a place in South Bristol for that money, but no buses, no work, shite facilities and Marvin doing his best to make it worse. But it’s close to the countryside and some decent boozers in Chew Valley.

Yes, some of the teams have been all at sea….

Oh dear Spurs, 4-0 down after 18 minutes…. How have a club with such facilities and having been fairly constant top ten Prem finishers be such serial losers Make that 5 after 20…..

If that were true, which I doubt, that’s a reflection of the players not the Manager, they should have the character to play fair.

Are these people mentally ill? I haven’t had a tape measure out, but the fruit market isn’t a huge swathe of land, one side it is bordered by a rail line, it looks like a transfer line from St Phillips Marsh train maintenance depot, which it is, but it is also the mainline diversionary route to bypass Temple Meads in the event the station has to be closed for an emergency. So no expansion that way.

Not for me, can’t sit at home drinking beer, it’s just not right. For me beer and pubs go hand in hand.

This will give an idea…. https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/2022/july/club-statement-reduced-capacity/

If they ever do get a new stadium, this would be the best view…….

Better second half, but again we lack any incisiveness in the final third.

AC/DC..

Could you get excited about this as a neutral…… or even as fan!

It would be hard to look much worse……

When you take into account the distances travelled, big up to Plymouth fans.

Of course it’s not nonsense, winning games develops a culture, not scoring against the worst team in the league ( and yes, we may yet) is not conducive to development. How many good performances without scoring are acceptable? As that just leads to conceding in games, even to teams we may have ‘outplayed’.

Dominating with no end result is pointless…. May as well be under the cosh all game and nick a winner against the run of play

If this match were a play, it would be described as a farce…….

We have to be more clinical in the box, just not good enough, but that’s why we are where we are, too many chances going begging or chances that peter out as we get into that last phase.

Keep clicking long enough and there will be an interesting history on your hard drive should it ever be checked….. ?

More staying power than me, I did one season where I did every game home and away, pre-season friendlies, cup games and league, that was enough for me, it’s a huge effort to swap shifts, take holidays, leave work early, arrive late etc.
