One Team

I am out of likes Pete, but I think you are spot on here, fair and balanced. As per my comments above, there are a couple of guests who are overly positive but I think most, like yourself, are balanced and dish out the criticism at times but then provide positive feedback as well; or least provide rationale as to why that’s their relative perspective. I have said before that OSIB works best when there are differing views which get discussed (argued!) alongside lots of piss taking, irrelevance and stupidity.

Good question. As a regular listener I would say one or two of the guests are overly supportive and protective of the club and it’s staff and from my perspective see everything through rose tinted specs. I would say most of the people on there are balanced though. Even those that can be quite critical still back that up with praise where it’s due. Of those I’ve met they are really decent lads though and should be supported for what they are doing.

Ah yes I think I remember him, or Bristol Boy at least.

Only listened to one and didn’t like it that much, who was/is Ian?

A Cider With @Bassomylord perhaps? ?

Out of likes mate but agree and was thinking the same. It was one of the worst for months, not quite the worst but not far off. Its normally a lot, lot better than that and if they’d listened to last weeks maybe they’d have a different view, or maybe FBC might be more their thing.

At least this thread has provided @Shtanley with content for the start of the next podcast before he talks about the loss at Sheffield United! ??

The fact that OSIB is amateurish is its greatest appeal. As I’ve said this episode was poor by their standards but the irrelevant discussion, piss taking and occasional chat about the football is what makes it brilliant. I think perhaps you’d enjoy Robins Nest more if that’s what you after; which I cannot stand by the way.

You normally get passionate debate and comedy. As I say, listen to the last one with @Olé on it, you certainly get that on that one!

It’s not an ‘official’ club one which is one of the reasons it’s good! Sounds like OSIB won’t appeal to what you are looking for anyway and you’d be better off with FBC or Robins on the Wire if that’s even still going.

To be fair this was a particularly poor OSIB episode and not demonstrable of the quality normally put out. @Shtanley and @petehinton do a brilliant job with it and normally get the balance of views, the feeling of the supporters and the amount of humour about right. Don’t let this one put you off, listen to the one before which was superb or some of the Cider Withs which are excellent.

It’s £16 per match actually which is what I am being refunded so I would have to pay £9 more to get a ticket. With all the other restrictions watching on RobinsTV looks more fun!

I really do question some of SL's decision making over the years but you can't deny the money he's put into our club and Bristol sport. He's clearly going to be leaving a legacy behind of some stature.

Mind the gap!

I miss Brexit! Life was so much simpler then....

Shameful. What a story for Bristol to be put on the map for. I bet none of them even care though.

They have the highest aged population in Europe and the second highest in the world, after Japan. Unfortunately this is a numbers game and the virus impacts the elderly more than any other demographic.

I agree I think it’s highly unlikely the season will conclude, which you can easily see including the play offs.

Just thinking the same mate!

So he’s leaving them to drop down a division to the club that relegated them from the football league?! ??

I agree. Some 'comedians' (either professional or on internet forums) think any subject is fair game for making up jokes. Personally I think there are some subjects you shouldn't joke about. That said, when I read this I didn't perceive this as a joke at all.

Just seen this myself. Two posters on there with similar comments about him. Unbelievable! Bet their mods do nothing.

Totally ****** that up due to our mistakes. Yes, Wolves are a quality side but we were in total control until FF went off. After that we were on the back foot and everything we touched was that much poorer than before. Add to that Pack's cock up and it's three points not just dropped but thrown down and stamped on. Still, would you have taken 3rd at the end of the year? Yeah, me too.

Two good looking teams it has to be said. Their front two are seriously quick!
