Anyone know how you get player to work on iPhone ? 

There's an app and it works better than laptop, think it's just league player you search for, looks like a big blue and red arrow

Good morning all, sunny here in ditchling will be trying to keep up with iffy phone coverage whilst walking the dogs on the South Downs.  3-1 City COYR!

Your post gave me a heart attack! I was reading this when my wife turned the TV on and called out the rugby score, "twenty seven nil".

Not quite 27 but I think we'll take the 6!

Class.

Start we wanted!  Well done boys! COYR

Perhaps we could practice some shooting between now and Saturday.

I'm up for that, who we aiming at?

Well at least I feel like a City fan again, last season was weird. Felt wrong, but in a good way.

I never said it was, SC was deservedly sacked but Derek Acora type machinations really?.

 

Agreed

You are speaking to the wrong person here, I am very happy, but some of these delusional posts from people looking into their crystal balls trying to predict what might have happened????

What would have happened is that the opposition would have known exactly the 11 they were up against, they'd have known we'd play 'that' formation and there would be no meaningful subs unless there was an injury.

I agree the results are unknown but it wasn't looking great was it?

but we're doing well and that we're all happy!

This lot really do care don't they?  Very pleased youngsters given a chance, substitutions are positive (and happen), and that the buzz seems to be back.  Very happy here although as "here" is Brighton I'd really like to make it 4 in a row.

also amusing the stand behind him is about 25% full.

Well done lads and well done LJ, long way to go yet but feeling confident all of a sudden. 

Exciting times I hope!

the billion is the banks assets, not how much the owner has. He can no more use the banks assets on Rovers than SL can use his firms assets on City... 

 

Anyway, it's good news, about time this City had two decent clubs and not 2 amateur joke outfits.

Not sure I'll live long enough to see that, and I include us in that statement too.

This just goes to show how mad the world of football has become, lets face it they ain't in it for Rovers or the City of Bristol are they?

Didn't realize teams get relegated with 20 games left to go

No but we can with 10 and I can't see a lot changing.

If the manager isn't willing to change things, make substitutions then imho his time is up.

His tactics and lack of any change is killing this team...both in results and I should imagine, confidence.

That's twice now at the end of games....the players will be shot both physically and mentally.

No excuses now...anyone that keeps trying and failing at the same thing, without trying something different is cutting off their nose to spite their face.

Stubborn, stupid or sending a message to SL...either way...all three are not the answer to getting results.

So Poor...not one shot on target and you bring Burns on in injury time....really?

It's almost as if he wants to be sacked and pick up the cheque for the balance of his contract...

Leeds! 

I get the sentiment but blimey it's depressing to be celebrating a Leeds goal.

I only hope that the players and manager have more belief than some of the fanbase, otherwise we may as well forget about survival. 

I'd like to think 'belief' will keep us up but I don't think it will be enough.  Belief's are dangerous things that lead you to accept the status quo and not questioning the path they're taking you down.

how can predicting relegation before a ball has been kicked, or after 1 game as you originally claimed, be anything other than reactionary? 

yes i can see the table, I  can see that  we have just dropped into the relegation zone from todays  results, but can also see that is is down to goal difference alone, and 3 points separate us from Fulham in 18th. I can also see we have 23 games left, that's 69 points to play for.

Fair points, and yes we may make it to safety, I just see it as a huge opportunity that's been missed.

If you were saying that after 1 game then that is ridiculously reactionary, pathetically so. 

I was saying that before the first game due to the debacle of the summer recruitment policy, if you think that was reactionary look at the table.  I'm sure there were a few that thought the same.

I think OTIB should close down after matches for 12 hours , win, lose or draw , to allow people to calm down abit before posting . Be more reflective , learn how to deal with disappointment ( and today was sickening ) , refrain from blaming individuals often unfairly , and try and understand the nature of football , being a football fan and being a Bristol City fan . It's hard I know but more considered thoughts after a bit of reflection rather knee jerk reactions has to be less divisive . 

Heart is good but head is always better . It's taken me a lifetime to realise , in all aspects of life but it particularly applies to such a passionate thing like following bloody Bristol City . 

 

Hardly kneejerk after this many games into a season and seeing no change in ability or tactics.

This season should have seen us kick on after the last, instead we look lost with a Manager that won't adapt and players not appearing to be of sufficient quality.

not great with the momentum we'd built and AG ready next year.

but hey ho we're BCFC so we shouldn't expect anymore I guess.

The usual reactionary nonsense. These players may lack quality but "spineless" they are not. Spineless implies a lack of effort and that is not the issue at all.

agreed but a lack of quality and a stubborn manager will see us down, not reactionary being saying it since day one of this season.    Also not reactionary as I questioned cotts lack of use of subs last season when we were winning. 

Change is needed now or we're down, team spirit can only take you so far, and won't last long at this rate.

sadly it felt inevitable, we either don't have the players or manager to compete at this level.  Same old City, instead of riding the crest of the wave we wipe out like a fat 50 year old surfing in Cornwall on a Stag do for his third marriage.

Every f'ing time.
