  1. Champagne moment of the season so far has to be finally getting a penalty, in the last few minutes of the furthest away day of the season. Celebrated like a goal when it was awarded, then pandemonium when it went in!
  2. I like it overall. We do need to move on from these types of designs that attempt to make robins look hard. It's just silly
  3. Still not quite understanding why people are jumping on Mehmeti after two quiet performances. He's come to us midway through the season and is not used to this level. Also important to bear in mind that he was the main man at Wycombe and this could explain why he doesn't release the ball so quickly. Already, we have seen what he is capable of. We had six years of Callum O'Dowda jogging up to the full back before stopping and passing back - and he didn't even do that right at times!
  4. Not the best I get that, but haven't we seen us lose this sort of game so many times over the years
  5. Cornick has looked rustier than Gaol Ferry Bridge since he joined us, hope he properly introduces himself to us tonight
  6. I think this is best approached in the off season, where a more formal approach can be drawn up. The fact that the club have spoken to the 'leaders' of this movement is encouraging; perhaps they've been told to cut it out for now while a proper implementation is devised. Glad the security are gone as that was just going to complete a self fulfilling prophecy. Security in general seems to be a convenient shortcut - or lower cost contract - instead of organisations employing staff who are actually trained to do the work. You see it in homeless services too, for example. The majority of those who want to use Block A for singing are doing so to improve the atmosphere at what is often a disappointing representation of our club. It doesn't surprise me seeing people here coming in to kick the idea while it is down.
  7. I think they'll be collectors items in time, due to the limited circulation and how abnormal it is to change during the season. I have a collection of some of the more iconic City shirts from the 90s and early 2000s and would be tempted to get the white sleeve kit because of this, as prices go down a bit
  8. Main one I'm missing, that. Too expensive for me at present though... I think you're right, it's going to be a double reference to 1990
  9. I recall being asked to take off my scarf when in there a few years ago now. It's a proper 'pea puree' place these days. There's no pub better for away fans in Bristol, no doubt.
  10. Nova Scotia, down by Spike Island. Proper traditional pub
  11. Being at the game today it felt so much encouraging than what the stats would make out. Hadn't seen us play with such audacity for a long time. Even if it had finished 1-0 I would have been happy with the performance. I saw a young and hardworking team absolutely going for it and continuing to develop. Can't ask for more than that considering what the last four years have been like.
  12. See previous comment; from my angle it looked brutal!
  13. Must admit, when that penalty went in I removed my entire top half of clothing and went ballistic...when in Rome!
  14. Honestly, rather enjoyed it despite the result. Some great play in the first half. Never should have subbed off Mehmeti though, he was worth the entrance fee and journey alone
  15. Must admit that from the stand that looked nailed on, will need to look at another angle of it later
  16. Wow, that's a new low. If that's not a penalty, what is?
  17. About to start the second leg of the journey now; stopped at a mates house near Hull for the night and it's his turn to drive today. COYR!
  18. Almost seemed like the security wanted to escalate so that they could 'evidence' problems with the singing sections. Often a bunch of hi viz wearing neanderthals who were either too thick or too unfit to join the police
  19. I would bet some quite important parts of my body that he was there to see Alex Scott.
  20. Not too long ago we wouldn't have got through that, what a change in mindset
