Qatar? One off race yesterday.

A Google search for Lando Norris Qatar returned literally zero hits apart from links to last year's race. Are you the only person who's aware of this one off race?

Seeing as lots wanted him here it’ll be interesting to see whether he can get a bigger, quicker bounce than we’ve seen here. 

Shouldn't be too difficult

Thought you got an extra sub in ET?

Yeah, remember similar being said with the McLaren car last year.

A shame because it makes it harder to tell the cars apart at a glance.

Personally would like to see the cars made smaller again (without excessively dropping safety) because a huge part of the problems with the racing now is because the cars are 5m long. This would also makes them a lot lighter and they wouldn't look so unresponsive in corners.

Yeah, they're ridiculously big now.

Have we ever won a penalty shout out?

Yes.

The problem with some of our youngsters like Bell and Conway is that they'll try harder in the fa cup than the league because the FA cup is more focused on than the championship so they're trying to catch the eye of scouts from the big clubs (Or Bournemouth, probably Bournemouth)

Do you actually believe that? 

I'm generally not a fan of Manning's substitutions (to say the very least), but to criticise him for subbing off a player who hasn't played in months is just ridiculous.

I haven't seen the replay, but everyone seems to be saying handball. But, VAR checked it, no?

And it will reduce the price from ludicrous to ridiculous!

Indeed. The prices for parking are criminal. I've never actually paid for parking there, but when you buy fast track security you go on the same mailing list, so they're often emailing me with the latest 'deals'.

Need a short parking stint at Bristol Airport Silver Zone - rarely need this but can never find a discount code which when you book they say "enter code" - where on earth do you get a discount code from? Is it an employer thing or a myth? 

They often email me codes.

Opening game at the Azteca Stadium and the final at the MetLife Stadium.

 

Finally, the Jets win something 

So, it appears that half of us think that we won't get close to selling out our allocation, and the other half seem to think that there's nowhere near enough tickets and they'll not even make general sale. 

Not the longest distance in the league, but considerably further to travel than Coventry...

Just 19 tickets left...

I find windscribe very fast and reliable, you get 1gb free I think, after that if you continue you have to sign up.

Hypothetically, if I were ever to use a VPN (rather than fly to Germany every other weekend... ), I would only switch it on while first turning on the feed, and then turn it straight off again, in order to not use much of the free GB allowance.

I often favour Frankfurt, very quick flight - you're there in no time  

 

Precisely. And feels just like home, I find.

Why are we not even on that list?

Because, weirdly, we are listed under Bristol City Robins Foundation, so not a sports club as such for the purposes of that list!

I absolutely agree with you.

I've not seen it enforced at any level so I can only assume that the Refs are briefed by the FA and or Ref's Association. Pre-season every year we get a briefing from the FA about changes to existing laws and also what Refs are being assessed on during matches. I can't remember the 6 second rule ever being mentioned.

Many years ago they announced a clamp down on it, and were very strict at the start of the season. As with most of these instructions, it was quietly forgotten about half way through the season.

(I remember this because, along with foul throws not being punished, it's a pet peeve of mine)

I'll be taking my usual flight to Frankfurt to take in the game. It's lovely this time of year

Only top tier Lansdown has any available tickets, and not many at that:

That’s not George Elokobl - wrong colour for a start

Fantastic goal from us, but otherwise fairly awful I'm afraid Can't see anything but relegation unfortunately. 

Taking my boy today for his first ever live football match. Hopefully he can bring some luck for the first home win of the season!

What. A. Test. Match.
