What was that all about  ? 

His funny walk

My partner is afraid of dogs , so it's a good job we didn't go. 

R.I.P 

Condolences to family and friends. 

Another red in heaven.  

Football should be Saturdays at 3 pm. 

But I fo like the atmosphere at night matches, especially the cup games. 

I hate it when the players creep up the line and then take the throw. Hence a couple of meters advantage . Why not get the ball persons to use the foam,  that the refs have, and mark the spot where the ball went out. Then the players know that is where they throw from.

have you clicked on the red link?

I have.  The red ink is blank where the others say buy tickets. 

Trying to buy my 2 tickets but when I'm on there , there is no buy ticket option  ?

Pretty sure something similar happened at Northampton once as well.

Not the 7-1 game.

Yep. City kit man forgot the kit and had to borrow Northamptons away strip.

I'm a New Zealander.  Nothing to do with me. 

He has so much potential. He just needs to believe in himself and have a run of games. He has started to now under Manning,  so watch this space. 

You can always take your own food with you and just buy a coffee / tea / beer. 

We take a small pizza with us or sandwiches.

Who are the foreign players we’ve had who he’s helped settle in? I don’t count Sykes or Knight in that.

5 to 6 languages he speaks.  Helped Massengo when he was here.

Cisse - the international scout during a period where we haven’t signed an international player. Now coaching the first time. Fabulous 

That's not only his role.  He speaks many languages and when we have had foreign players in, he has helped them settle in.

Not often we will get discussed on Soccer Saturday! Gives another outside perspective of the situation. Even Merse is passionate about the sacking! The mention of Scott being sold and not replaced.

Edit: Not sure what Morrison is referring to regarding the spending!

Merson. Morrison. 

What a load crap.

Lets just get behind the team today. A must win game,against a Sheffield Wednesday side that are far worse off than us. 

Yes wrong decision to get rid of Pearson but at least he can now sort his back out. 

Yes. Thank you Mr Pearson for all your hard work. Sorry that the powers above can't see what a good job you are doing. Hope you sort your back out and good luck to your future

Get out of our club you useless ******* *****, Lansdowns. 
 

The fact they’ve said they expected promotion sums it all up. Sell the Crown Jewels, give 10% of the budget of the sales to reinvest, blood youngsters, turn a profit, get promoted. Absolute insanity.
 

Kalifa Cisse interim coach when he hasn’t coached for 2 years. That ******* sums it up as well

Fleming in in charge for now.

That Ireland v NZ was a cracking game but not good on my nerves  

Well done the All Blacks.  

And well played Ireland.  

We shall not be watching this at all.

Kia Ora fellow kiwi. 

I've have lived in Bristol for the past 36 years, and you can't find anywhere better than Bristol.  Yes it has it problems but the diversity of this area is fantastic. Plenty of different shops pubs and cafés. The gateway to the south west and Cornwall. You won't find anywhere better.  

Also there are many stunning and beautiful places to visit in the UK. We know us kiwis need to spread our wings , and doing so appreciate NZ more. 

 

Also North Street,  near Ashton Gate is a nice area as well for diversity.

Kia Ora everyone, I posted on the footy chat regarding City related stuff, but was encouraged to post on here too. My partner and I are moving to Bristol in 6 months time - were mid twenties, from New Zealand. Basically I'm looking for local advice, on anything really! Good areas to live, things to do, things I should know that perhaps I can't really Google about Bristol, etc. Would appreciate any help!

Newsflash - Jonah Lomu is now dead!

Thanks for reminding me. Still one of the best All Blacks we have ever had.

Crikey. Last time I looked, you was 32 year old Kiwi Col working up Lawrence Hill in 1995, and Jonah Lomu was tramplin' all over our brave England boys. Don't tell me yer retired?

Nope still working at the same place (34 years ) but not in Lawrence Hill.
