And the Aussies haven't then ever I take it? Plus its not in the rules, if the umpire hasn't given him out then he doesn't have to walk until otherwise.. plenty of batsmen have done this in the past and they are perfectly in their right to do so.

Definition of cheat  'act dishonestly or unfairly in order to gain an advantage' hence Broad is a cheat.

Just saw this on the England's Barmy Army Page on Facebook...

 

'The Courier Mail just is not learning, today they have no pictures or comment about Stuart Broad and instead say "the player, who thrives on the notoriety of openly cheating."

Lets hope they keep up this pathetic campaign as clearly it is helping him play better.

Sunny here this morning so should be a batting paradise once our batsmen have negotiated the new ball and we get the last 2 convicts out.'

 

Can only agree, be great to see Broad get the final 2 wickets in the first session and really stick it to the natives

Well he did openly cheat......

According to the bcfc website we had 5 shots on target to their 5 and 54-46% possession in Tranmeres favour being the home side.

 

Not exactly anything to worry about.

Plus their keeper was MoM

Why don't they get Taylor on earlier? Always changes the game.

Getting sick of SOD sticking to his way of playing. When teams know how to play us we need a plan B, and we don't have one.

Yeah, how dare he

Min power on that shot

Are we just praying for a draw ? Seems we have been 2nd best the whole half.

Don't forget we're the away team.

Sadly this is yet another example of the ineptitude of Bristol and Bristolians. We seem to lack so many things in my opinion. The nerve, desire, drive, ambition, to go that extra bit in getting what we want. We have leaders in business and local authority who are complacent, naieve, over confident, who constantly get held up in their plans because they don't have that hard edge needed to succeed. Our own Mr Lansdown has probably been swept along by his bullish partner to make their business what it is.

The place is a backwater with a distant memory of past pioneers, we are living  in a modern world with a slow moving apathetic city. Most of our more influential people are not from these parts as shown by those opposing any new proposal, and their extra drive wins the day. I sometimes wonder if we are an experiment taking place on how much shyte a local population will take before rising up, god knows the city has had enough kicks in the tabs, with funding for this or that being taken away right at the death.

Because of our apathy, we've ended up with that prat in red trousers doing his best to close down the city.

So until we're willing to go that extra bit for what we want, (I know I've tried) we'll get what we deserve, sweet FA. And with that sweet FA we'll have some extra green party activists who are going to be getting those extra jobs created by winning the green capital bid. Mark my words there'll be even more of them shortly, still a tiny minority but with more fight and desire than the locals. 

Think you're being massively negative, Bristol is a wonderful, vibrant place to live.

A scaled down compromise following the club threatening to leave the city, and a ground that unlike the original plans, will never hold test cricket.

Great

Quite pleased about that, think test cricket should remain at the traditional grounds, not ones who cough up most to the ECB.

Let the scummers go and play there then!

Sorted.

Let those heathens descrate the same hallowed turf where Hammond, Procter, er Mike Smith played, I don't think so !

Glos CC is being redeveloped (horribly in my opinion) so it's not strictly true to say nothing ever gets through the nimby's. 

My own personal opinion...the reality is, that he'll most likely go in January.

 

Perhaps the idea of getting used to it now, rather than later, so that it doesn't come as such a blow, is better.

 

I read a quote from JET today in one of the national papers...can't remember which one, where he said something along the lines of not getting many games at Arsenal and he'd like to prove himself at a higher level again.

 

Stockhausen also spoke of it again in todays BP... where he said Baldock would come into his own when JET is gone and him and Taylor would provide goals at this level... not sure I agree with that though.

After only half a season with us ? Am hoping that other clubs would want to see how he fares over a full season before taking a punt on him.

Or 5 out of 6 fans (not a very representative sample) are wrong, maybe?

Well they were at Carlisle apparently so must be pretty hard core. As you say they're obviously wrong though !

The club is very lucky to have fans like some of you guys. In what other branch of the entertainment industry would the departure of the star turn be greeted with a shrug of the shoulders? 

 

The only thing that might attract fans to the Gate at the moment is JET. After several seasons of dross City finally have a player with some semblance of star quality. If the approach of the club really is to sell off all the crowd pleasing assets to repay Lansdown's self-inflicted debt then it will be a very long time before the crowds start to build again.

 

Having personally blown the best chance in decades this club has had to establish itself at a decent standard in English football I'm amazed that SL gets as much support as he does.

I agree yet in the current OTIB fanzine five out of six fans polled had Waggy as best player only one other, Alex, voting for JET while in the season player ratings he's down in an incredible 10th !  Maybe he just isn't as popular as some of us think ?

Defence at sixes & sevens

Gillett wins quite a bit in the air for a little'un

Wil be interesting to see how Tangs copes with the Zig

Which would mean we would ideally have to play four in midfield which doesn't work often. Baldock up top with Killa playing balls through and Skusey and Kelly behind him for cover.

Whatever team we play I'm sure SOD has a cunning plan.

If Baldocks fit surely Stead or Taylor have to play up top with him ?

Been watching since '82 and my favourite seasons were 06/07,07/08. That squad was something special.
