Games gone. Wish we'd break away from these fraudsters. Who needs the WC?

I think ppl are confusing AG and the retail park. There are NO machines at the retail park. You stay too long, you get charged.

I use livescore.com or flashscore.co.uk

Neither are perfect but excellent for fixtures and scores.

Already been confirmed it will be multi-camera…

Yeah, it'll be a Sony in the first half replaced by a Panasonic for the 2nd half.

IIRC the pop up was a 'cash back' offer with the subscription details in small writing. That's what I saw.

Very poor that BCFC allow this.

I've given up trying to be honest. Tried different networks (EE, 3, O2), different phones and pretty much zilch at HT. Might be lucky in the first half and manage. Quite often need to reboot the phone after leaving to get 4g back. No idea what the issue is.

There was an interesting LinkedIn post I came across the other day, which I will summarise as : DATA is making the world more boring.

They cited several examples, but a couple stood out. In the NBA, nearly ALL of the teams play the same way, points are scored from very specific areas of the court and it’s become dull and predictable as a result. The second was the music industry, within a given genre (pop, country etc) the diversity of music has decreased, there is less innovation and music is working to a “formula”.

What does this mean for football. Well, probably something similar isn’t it? Football is becoming dull. I’m sure that there is a multitude of reasons why, but definitely a cause will be the statistics around “most likely methods to score from” - I think that is called xG for or something.

What I’ve seen with my eyes is something completely alien to me at times. It’s structured. Ponderous. Boring. My enjoyment of football comes from chaos, a lack of structure and being able to thrive in the midst of all of this. I like passion. I like both teams going at it.

I like rugby more than football now as a spectacle. 

I was agreeing with what I read there. Until the last sentence. Each to their own.

I kind of feel we did try to buy success during LJ’s tenure. However, that failed and we backed the wrong horse in typical Bristol City manner.

Wrong horse? LJ wasn't a horse, he was full pony.

I've noticed a few Ipswich fans getting nervous at the prospect. If they finished with a record points total to miss out on auto promotion and then got done by Norwich in the playoffs I'm not sure they'd ever get over it.

As KK would say, ' I'd love it '

He was just giving him a pep talk.

Knickers, a football requisite back in those days.

I thought this was a Peter Carol exclusive. Most disappointing.

It'll be Tinnion until the season's end while they conduct a 'rigourous process'.

If they do that it'll be Chris Hogg taking the reigns.....

If that’s dull I’ll take it all day long ‘ how is winning a major trophy’ European away days and playing prem football dull ‘ really confused.

Then be confused. I find Birmingham City as dull as can be. One of few teams I will not watch on sky. You can love them all you like.

No chance’ premier league and won a major cup final and a few games in Europe 

And still as dull as dishwater. 

I think Birmigham join us in the top 6 dullest.

I was being ironic.

Sounds like we are giving this a real go. coyr

Presumably though there is a cost (not necessarily monetary) of every player being at the club though - physio time, whatever training they can do, medical time, and so on?

You might also be able to negotiate some lower lump sum I guess, the benefit for the player being they can take that and then potentially get a new contract 

If it is just a niggle why would we offload? If it's a long term injury a player is unlikely to get a contract elsewhere. 

No.

You could win Jon Lansdown is a draw. 

You'd be getting both tit and tat.

Yep.

I'm certainly not looking forward to it. But unlike many City fans, it's just 2 minutes down the road for me, so it's much less of a inconvenience.

For my brother, Covid is keeping him away, so that means our mother can have his ticket. I don't think she's too pleased, but Happy Mother's Day mum!

I'd ask to see the test evidence. It might be a ruse to stay at home

I don't particularly disagree but sacking a manager 20 Games plus Cup games ie 4 months into a 3.5 year deal..wouldn't he or the others see that as an admission of error and or ineptitude? Which makes me think they may double down.

You mean give him a contract extension? 

Ballast.
