    Same here, most of the ones I know are sound and seem to know and accept they are the City’s second team but I have known the odd few who are well and truly bitter

    The ones I know are nice enough people, but for some reason when talking about the 15ers they seem to suddenly become bumbling idiots who make one ridiculously stupid comment after another. It's a strange phenomenon, which I don't think I've come across with any other team at such a universal level. Would you agree with my assessment @The turtle?

    Hope springs eternal;

     

    DC's cautious approach nearly worked at Scunthorpe and it nearly worked at Blackburn.

    I realise 'nearly worked' doesn't get any points, but the hammerings away from home have stopped, so that's progress of a sort.
     

    Being one point above the relegation zone in league one, and being happy with a loss because you didn't lose by that many, is not really what you'd expect from the 6th richest club in the entire country.

    Random thought to share- For me just a lick of paint here and there would at least help to make the place more asthetically appealing! It’s just an old ugly rusty and concrete mess.
    If the club put a message out there for fans to buy/donate a certain colour and type of paint I.e blue and white - and come along in your own time to help spruce the place up, I’m sure people would! At least we could see some form or improvement going on then. :laugh:! Why wait for the chiefs when the Indians can do something! Be nice to have a few banners I.e Irene lyrics and come on you blues etc and large motivating club posters around too! We can do lots of things that do not cost much money but as per usual we just do nothing! We should at least care for what we do actually have! No point pining for a mansion when you can’t even decorate and maintain your 1 bed flat!

    Sounds like the sort of appeal that my local Sunday League team would make :laugh:

    Certainly not the kind of post you'd expect from fans of the 6th richest club in the country.

    Didn't BCFC have a ladies team that became the Bristol academy, which then became the Gas academy, which then went full circle and back to Bristol City Ladies?

    I think they stole the team, changed it's name, and Bristol sport provided the funding for it to survive and changed the name back.

    I was going to write the very same

    Nope. City did previously have a women's team but not linked at all to Bristol Rovers Women/Bristol Academy.

    Looks like the new commercial director only got the job because he is as obsessed about the gap as all the other sad f*ckers over there ...

     

    Bristol Rovers' new commercial director on the rivalry with Bristol City

    'We will look try close that gap a little bit.'

    "So I’m really looking forward to hopefully meeting them on the pitch, off the pitch and there’s no reason why we can’t meet with them directly – we will look to try close that gap a little bit.”

    Jesus, they just keep giving. What's a stronger word than obsession? 

  23. The Official Match Day Thread 6 - Reading v Bristol City

    https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2017/september/Stam-frustrated-by-our-failure-to-finish-chances/

    Reading manager Jaap Stam is thankfully unaccustomed to reflecting on Madejski Stadium defeats - but Bristol City's late winner inflicted our first home loss since January!

    "Very frustrating," he began. "We were facing an opposition who wanted to make it difficult for us, by going forward, being aggressive and pressing high up the pitch to prevent us from playing and they didn't let us get into our comfort zone so at times we had difficulties in getting control of the game.

    "But overall, in the amount of oportunities we created to score, I think we should have won this game - which we didn't! And that's what makes it frustrating. 

    "We had plenty of opportunities. But it's all about scoring. It's a cliche, but so many times you see games where a team has lots of chances but doesn't finish them off and then the opposition eventually scores and that's it. 

    "In having possesison, creating good opportunities, we played well. But you need to score...and we didn't."

    Perhaps the game could have swung on a decision to only show a yellow card to Nathan Baker after he scythed down Mo Barrow as he burst clean through on goal before half-time. "From my point of view it was a red card," Stam said.

    "He was through. And if he wasn't being fouled, he could have gone in one on one with the goalkeeper and he could have scored.

    "I don't know how it looked from the stands, but it looked like a red card to me. But it's not up to me, and the referee has to make a decision quickly so it's not easy for him as well. But you've seen the pace Mo has, no-one would have tracked him."

    And as Frank Fielding made a few sharp stops and the Royals missed a flurry of second half chances, the longer the game remained goalless, the longer the result remained in doubt.

    "It is very hard not to give anything away against opposition with quality. They had one big chance in the first half and one good opportunity second half and then they were a threat from set pieces and that final chance, a ball falls in between from a set piece and they score from it - so maybe three chances in total!

    "So it feels harsh that we lost, and it's not nice - especially at home. We created the chances, but we need to work on tapping them in. Because it's about scoring goals and we didn't do that.

    "We could have played a bit better, but with what we did it should have been enough to win the match. However, if you don't finish your chances you don't get the three points. And everyone in the dressing room is disappointed."

    Now now. After the infamous Photoshop April Fool of a few years back, Mr Crowe himself tweeted he loves the City. Us and Dirty Leeds. 

    I don't think Roy Cropper went public...

    It is true indeed. To be fair though, Roy Cropper is more impressive.
