The whip on his cross made Weimann's second, and his through ball to Semenyo was key for Weimann's third. Well done HNM.

I'm surprised that some of our fan base boo certain players. 

e.g. Adomah vs QPR, Pack and Flint vs Cardiff. 

Find it bizarre. 

After we booed him before the pen I thought 'fair play to him' when he celebrated in front of S82. Thought he embarrassed himself when he continued to goad fans when he was lining up for kick off again.

Referees are there to manage the game so a football match can take place. We saw 45 mins of football and then 45 mins where the ref's incompetence made it niggly. 

Looked like he realised he made errors, then started to try and compensate by guessing every time 2 players went near each other. 

Made bad decision in our favour and in QPR's favour in fairness.

I can see result problems if we continue to play.

I thought Luton would still fancy their chances with only 7 fit bodies!

Full 90: Bristol City 2-1 Manchester United | Bristol City (bcfc.co.uk)

If anyone else wants to join me in shutting out the world this morning!

Amazing! Nights like that are why we keep going through some of the bad times. 

Still life in this perhaps for Bristol City...

We know the answer don’t we!

Same with many other services too.

Let’s make it look shit so that when we put a spin on selling it off, the public aren’t aghast at the proposals, and will believe arguments like “they” just waste lots of money too, it’s better in private hands.  There are probably parts of the NHS that could be more efficiently run privately, but the main healthcare part is just a ruse for an insurance backed health service with the likes of Aaron manually manipulates (no I spelt it right) providing the insurance “vehicle”.  

 

Sadly you're spot on Dave.

Man Utd vs Brighton now off too

Man Management is being taught out of young aspiring coaches today. It's probably 70% of the job, keeping the players confident and content. No confidence and low morale = Bad results.

Ferguson was an monster man manager who was decent with tactics but relied on his high motivational skills to control a team in his image. 
A lot of these young and aspiring Managers these days like their clipboards and drones but can't motivate a thing

I'm not sure where you've got the impression that man management is being taught out of coaches.

I have a first-class sports coaching degree, have worked at academy and development centre level in a variety of roles and have had multiple players signed to professional academies. 

In my experience - I was expecting my degree (and to a lesser extent, coaching courses) to focus on technical and tactical aspects of sport a lot more than it did. More focus than ever is placed on how to optimise relationships and environments between coaches, individuals and teams by applying and reflecting upon the use of theories in practice.

To summarise for those that can't/ don't want to listen to it:

Sean O'Driscoll:

- speaking to O'Driscoll sold him on BCFC, rather than moving to Barnsley.
- was terrible. He gave an example of when we lost 3-0 at P'boro but told the players they played well.
- Frank hypothesised that Richard O'Kelly (now with Dean Smith) was key to S'OD and S'OD struggled even more when he left

Cotts:

- was intense, honest, loving and good to work under.
- Sometimes he lost the plot and he wouldn't speak to the players for a few days at a time. He gave the example that between losing against Colchester away one Saturday am, he then didn't speak to the player til Tuesday am before we played Doncaster away. 
- Said Wilbs "ran our changing room and is a great human being"

Championship 15/16:

- Frankie got thrown in too early after being injured but they did the job by staying up.

Lee Johnson:

- As OP has said. 
- Said after being sent off against Wolves LJ told him he probably won't play again til the end of the season which was bad for Frankie's motivation. 
- Frankie didn't confront LJ about some of the odd management

Sums up his time at BCFC by saying he loved it. 



 

Frank starts talking about us around 27/28 minutes

Feels like more fixtures are being called off every hour

On a separate note, the guy on the right, isn't that Liam Whatshisname that went to Swindon?

Liam Walsh and he went to Swansea, yes

Probably Michael Masi's fault

As you just said The best person in those events win but none are relying on having the best equipment to help them win

Mercedes have the best and fastest car but I guess their argument is they have the best car but there's still regulations which limit what they can/ can't do to try and make it competitive. 

In the same way that Man City have the best training facilities, best stadium, most money to splash on players etc but their argument will be they do it within the FFP regulations. 

In every sport teams or individuals will have an advantage that's relatable to Hamilton & Mercedes having the fastest car. That's why we love random events.

It was yesterday's random event that made the last lap so exciting to watch, not that I necessarily agree with the actions taken by Masi/ FIA.

I'm GP registered and was vaccinated in Wales but will give this a whirl. Thank you!

My covid passport is only valid for 2 days. Twice I have tried it. Any ideas why it’s only giving 2 days at a time. Thanks for any information 

Do you mind me asking where your registered with your GP? 

In Wales it only seems to give a 48 hour covid pass. Could be why?

My wife and I have hard copy vaccine passports rather than relying on the app, hoping the club will accept these as well as on the app.

Hi, how do you get a hard copy? I've tried to find one online but can only find a digital QR code. Thanks in advance. 

For anyone who might appreciate it, here is a link to a couple clips discussing the recommendations of the review:

The first part of a two part summary from the fab NTT20 guys. Useful to get your head around the proposals: 

Another link with Neville discussing it too. Useful to hear it from a current EFL owner. He estimated 95% of EFL clubs were behind the proposals when they met to discuss the recommendations yesterday: 

I didn't see the fuss some people sat around me were giving him. He was fast and direct but he didn't do much as we dealt with the threat. Atkinson, my MoTM, is big but is no slouch and I had no concerns about his ability to deal with him.

You've just made things up that I haven't said. The News want to sell headlines and by making out in came near to deaths it certainly does sell and grab people's attention. 

I didn't say that the actions of a minority wasn't disgraceful, but I get the sense the News and the journalists just love this - another way to put down those god awful English football fans.

You also mention the Scum, Daily Heil. I assume you mean The Sun and Daily Mail - Both I also ignore.  

I don't necessarily disagree that media, regardless of their position on the political spectrum, exaggerate headlines for clicks. Though in fairness, The Guardian didn't say that it nearly caused deaths. Louise Casey who undertook the investigation made that claim and The Guardian just reported it. 

Gutted to say it's a really good appointment, especially if he moves upstairs at the end of the season with Poch coming in

How is Cotts only a 7/10 ?!?!

Just watched the finale. Good series. Really enjoyed it.

Yeah I've really enjoyed it. The main 7 characters are unique from one another but I'm rooting for each one of them.
