Oh god - 'Frank Lampard's Bristol City' - Steve won't like that. He'll be sacked after 5 minutes! No, no, no. Up there with half and half scarves!

BigTone?

WTF!!!!! Have you looked at the depth of our squad recently? Who would you swap him for?

Nigel did the right thing to bring him off - even if it was only a slight knock. We cannot risk adding more players to the injured list at the moment and we need as many fit for Cardiff as we can just to keep options available (especually with King going off). Sound tactical decision. I watched Roberts go and sit next to Nigel when he sat on the bench for quick chat before Roberts then moved to a different seat. No storming down the tunnel, no ignoring each other, and it didn't look like a heated chat. Suggested to me (from the body language from a distance) that he was 'ok' with the decision. I thought it was good player management for Nigel to have a chat about whatever it was. Perhaps it was re-assurance or to duscuss why he was brought off. I don't think there was anything suspicious or any suggestion Nigel wasnt happy with him in the short time he was on the pitch. Move on to Cardiff game now and hopefully he's fit to play a part.

He walks, he gets nothing. He stays, he gets the negotiated pay off of the rest of his contract? I get your point though. If i knew my boss was about to sack me after doing a bloody good job under shity circumstances, i'd be inclined to put my feet up.

Truly sorry to read this Sid. Every day must be incredibly difficult for you. As someone else said, time will hopefully help you find some way to manage what you're going through. Do look after yourself and i hope you're getting the help and support you need as well.

It's a really good listen. I liked it. I only remember the 1 story about Brooker and Orr getting in to trouble on Corn Street resulting in prison time but i didnt know about the other occasion that Lita talks about. I'm not confussed am I - that's not related to the same story is it?

To be fair to Alex's Bournmouth choice, he might not have expected to be injured for as long as he has been. Or that their team might have struggled as they have done so far. Hindsight is easy to judge. I guess going forward he may come back soon and have a fantastic season for them and put himself back in the shop window that if they do come down, another PL club (or abroad) might come in and snap him up. Or perhaps he stays, they get relegated but they bounce straight back up to the PL. Who knows. There are too many scenarios this could play out for some to call his move to them a mistake just yet.

My point was related to the comment suggested earlier by someone else - the hypothetical reason he might have been sacked - which i dont think is a reasonable or justifiable reason to sack someone. Just talking about that point more.

Principle? Was his pay up enough/acceptable in this circumstance? Surely somewhere a line has to be drawn at some point. Appreciate it's probably not the reason for him leaving but it's an interesting thought.

God, can you imagine if this was true? If i was in John Eustace's shoes i'd be considering legal action for wrongful dismissal or something. There must be grounds for some sort of legal action if this was the reason for it.

Fevs opening his Heat Map draw!

Horrible injury. These always remind me of David Busst.

Right, i'm channelling the spirit of Soren Andersen.

Listening to the audio. What an absolute cluster **** of a moment. Too many people talking at once all over each other. Overly complicated.

Why would 2 adults even do something like that. There is something very wrong with where society is headed at the moment.

Conway is on the bench.

Surely that's not real? Assuming that is a real post and also not an accidental quote price mistake from the club (these things do happen), then that is shameful. I wouldn't walk away from the club, i'd be running. I'm suprised this story hasn't come out in more mainstream media as that is just insane.

Signed as cover by the sounds of it. Why waste larger sums of money on salary/contract/agent fees for someone who probably wont get much game time?

These types of games make me very nervous when struggling teams come to visit us.

I'M BACK BABY The OTIB bouncers have finally let me back in. Now i'm through the doors I can take my socks off my trainers!

******* suggestion then?

Would it? Or would a new applicant be thinking 6-8 months in to a job, then ???????

Is it? As i write this, nothing officially confirmed yet that he's gone (unless i've missed it). Perhaps the comms is being prepared now?

Appreciate there is dislike for SL on here from some, but lets wait to hear what the reason/s are for this. Could be something we'd all understand and support.
