He clearly never watched Nicky Hunt play for us! 

Nicky Hunt instantly comes to mind when you think of worst right backs you have ever seen.

You can't watch many city games tanner litrally scored an own goal against Norwich and then passed the ball straight to the opposition for them to score against Huddersfield and following that up with a clear hand ball in the box that he was lucky didn't cost us the game he is shocking and I won't be alone in that opinion fans like you are the reason we as a club are known as mediocre you set the bar extremely low and are happy to just coast around the lower positions in the championship. 

You can’t have watched City for many years if all that equates to the worst right back you have ever seen.

You two boyfriends or something? 

I must apologise, I didn’t realise I was debating with a child.

I’ll leave it now before you get told off for being up too late on a school night.

Sam bell and tanner ? Your the sort of super fan who claps joyfully come what may and has absolutely 0 demand for accountability and progression just a mediocre acceptance. supporting a team doesn't mean you can't be critical when things should be better. Clearly your desire to want tanner to be a top championship player is clouding your judgment. Why don't you go round Jon's House and do some colouring in together 

 what on earth you banging on about? 
 

None of that has anything to do with your ridiculous claim regarding Tanner.

And there you go. The response I predicted. You seem like a right little happy clapper.

A happy clapper because he’s rightly called out your ridiculous claim as nonsense. 

Tanner isn’t even remotely near to the worst right backs that have played for City in the last 20/30 years never mind some of the opposition right backs we have played against.

Under NP he was regularly getting game time coming on as a sub. He seemed to have real pace and although raw, posed a threat running at defenders. Thought he might become the latest to come good from the under 21s.

However, I think I'm right in saying he has got ZERO minutes under Manning, despite Sam Bell struggling and Mehmeti, although showing promise, not actually delivering any end product.

Anyone shed any light on what's happening with Yeboah? Thought I read on an another thread, something about Manning's comments on him?

He’s 17.

Yep. I think the Sunday youth leagues are gonna mean quite a few people with chips covered in urine. 
And even if the games get weathered off, it’ll be too late for them to get a ticket or make arrangements. 
Shame really. I’d have expected a sell out on a Saturday but Sunday means I’d knock a fair few off of that. 

Half of the lot we have booked up the train with are banking on the pitches being waterlogged that weekend

For those buying, it took me straight to the seating option. Oh well, looks like im sitting. I would have had the safe standing. 

Always check for a pull down option when buying away tickets.

Still laugh at someone I know who lost his shoe in a certain venue in a well known road and had to go back for it

Head down, keep mouth shut I’m sure

Not disagreeing with that but was just wondering if there had been any specific history between the clubs that make it a higher risk than most.

It was really lively the last time we played away to West Ham, particularly after the game.

So later on this month on Friday night 22nd will you be at AG for our game against Hull or will you be travelling up to Newcastle to watch Bristol play Newcastle Falcons? both kick off at 19:45 

What a ridiculous comparison.
Of course, I will be at Ashton Gate.

It was moved because of the Rugby, but not because it was due to be played at Ashton Gate.

They just didn't want a fixture clash and moved our match to give people the opportunity to go to both. The location of the rugby was irrelevant.

I think that's what has been said anyway.

Spot on. Would have worked as well as if they were playing the rugby over at the Millennium tomorrow, there’s a few of us who’d have gone over for the day.

For the first time....

Are you saying our match was moved because of a Rugby match being played there, but the fact we're sharing a stadium is irrelevant?

The rugby match being played at Ashton Gate was originally going to be played over in Cardiff. This was still the plan when City’s game got moved to the Sunday, back in June.

Didn’t see it but can’t wait to see it on next seasons away shirt. 

It was a great goal but it wasn’t a patch on Leroy Lita’s overhead (air)kick at Grimsby back in 2004……..

Wait until we’re in the prem .  Be playing all days of the week except 3pm Saturday, just saying like

This will likely also be the case in The Championship when the new tv deal kicks in and the number of live games per weekend goes up (to 5 a weekend?).

Sorry if covered before, but now that Bristol sport own the ground and we let rugby in we have to move the football fixture not the rugby fixture,any thoughts 

Don’t mind a Sunday game now and again, can get out and watch a local game on the Saturday instead.

Turn it into a 3 day weekend as well. 
 

Wouldn’t want it regularly mind.

Was speaking with a former senior employee of the mayors office two weeks ago who certainly didn't give that impression. Plenty of funny stories about Rovers' incompetence though. If anyone can provide some evidence of BCC giving preferential treatment to Rovers then I'm all ears (and dealing with a retrospective application with high public interest is not evidence of being treated differently). 

If we want to talk about a local authority that bends over backwards for Rovers, then any conversation has to begin with South Gascestershire Council who have literally spent two decades trying to find Rovers a stadium in South Glos...to the point they even had a policy in their local plan dedicated to it.

Hopefully they’ll find them some land up Marshfield or up by Severn View services.

Ooooh he's playing...out of position 

Doesn’t look like he’s playing out of position to me.

I just don't see it. If he were at Stoke City, rather rhan Man City, would people be raving? I haven't seen anything to justify a call up.

 the kid is unreal. Serious, serious talent. Really looking forward to seeing what England look like in a few years time when him and Bellingham are running the show.

Good spot.  That's a GWR carriage, not an Avanti West Coast one.  

Cross-Country carriage that is. Definitely not GWR. 
 

And that’s my bit of trainspotting done for today.

Can jump off at Earls Court which is handy- although I'd recommend waiting for the coach to stop before doing so

 

Where’s the fun in that! 

Bring back bullying.

Does anyone know who to contact to see if there are two coach seat cancellations for qpr

Obviously not official coaches but you can get up to London easily enough on National Express, probably be cheaper than the Cat coaches as well.
