Slightly inaccurate I think.

In my understanding, the bucket collection at Forests game was to raise money to pay the staff at Notts who hadn’t been paid for two months due to one of many shyster owners in English football these days. This wasn’t to save the club, it was to stop likely low paid staff going to food banks and letting them stay in homes.

So, in that circumstance (which, tbf, is likely to arise under Wally), and for those people, yes, I probably would.

Sorry...

I’d be putting my hand in my pocket too.  The Club vs. Club rivalry is one thing, looking out for employees being done over by club ownership is something different.

No thanks. Wouldn't want to cause any harm to the pitch.

Well it seems to cope fine with the rugby so can’t see it making a difference.

The drive now for everyone to get behind the Women's game now has reached fever pitch.

BBC are now saying with 28.1 million people watching there coverage it means 47% of the UK were tuned in. What?

According to that nearly half the nation were watching, talk about twisting figures.

Please stop, nothing wrong with Women's football let it grow on it's own merit stop trying to force it on everybody.

In this mad PC world it's almost you have to love it.

You don’t have to watch it.  Do you feel emasculated somehow?

I can’t stand the Champions League but it’s force fed to us, I can’t stand the six nations or Wimbledon either, what’s the difference?

I really don’t understand your view point at all.

I find it amazing how hammy the hamster didn't attend their AGM. I read somewhere that he gets paid £75,000 a year. Not bad return for a bullshitter in an ill fitting suit.

Not that I really care but have they sorted out where they'll be training next season or is it Eastville Park? They'll be right at home with all the other dog shit.

What an absolute joke of a club.

Bristol Sport now supply their kit, that’s all.

It's an absolute embarrassment - mainly spotty oiks who have no knowledge of what they are actually singing about, but think it makes them look tough.  

After reading that thread I have a feeling that gasfred is one of them, what a belter.

That being said all clubs have their share, it’s how it’s dealt with that matters.

I do believe we were at Creepy FC away that day...... can still see the local plod looking at thinking weirdos as the whole of the away end celebrating about 3 mins after our game finished...... they really had no clue what was going on......!!

We were indeed, neither the plod nor the Crawley fans had a clue.  Bloody hilarious, we must have looked right nutters.

where is the play button a picture of the joker is in the way and if I click on the cross I get warnings of pornographic spyware.

Something tells me navigating dodgy streams isn’t really your bag.  I’d give up before you download something horrendous or throw the PC out the window.

Not really worth it!

I think Dave means Nantes suing Cardiff for breach of contract if they don’t make the payment

Ta, well yes. Nantes are right to expect payment. The travel plans and insurance details are up to Cardiff.  Nantes should have the contract fulfilled.  

Quite horrible they haven’t to be honest, just do the decent thing and honour the contract so this doesn’t blow out of all proportion.

More important things than multimillion pound clubs reneging on deals.

They are more likely to sue for breach of contract.

 

I’m not sure I understand.  He was Cardiff’s player therefore what has anything got to do with his old club?  Genuine question.

The transfer had completed, Cardiff will have to pay.  The way it’s being dealt with is distateful but Cardiff have to honour the contract. 

it’s up to Cardiff to deal with their insurers.

Diana - is that the answer you thought?

 

Yep, that was weird.

Very tragic, but when did we become so melodramatic in this country?

(Actually I probably know the answer).  This grief ‘tourism’ is very bizarre in my opinion.

Thoughts to the pilot’s and player’s family of course.

They’re spending their evening sewing on their ‘Stoned Ireland’ badges they bought off eBay instead.

Are you agreeing with what you’ve posted or highlighting the idiocy of others?  I’m guessing the second.

Who knows...I guess each contract is negotiated and individual.

I've asked a couple agents, but yet to hear back.

Wrong time for this question, but I’ll answer it anyway, most companies take out a ‘relevant life’ policy (effectively death in service) on individuals to provide financial compensation for their families, or in the case of Walmart (used to do before they were sued for it) as ‘dead peasant’ policies where the company takes the cash. ‘Key man’, is what they take out to cover recruitment costs and the implied value of the lost employee.

Grim, but that’s what should happen.

Typical rovers creaming themselves after a manager wins a few games in a row.

now he has pressure on his shoulders watch him start to crumble and them get drawn back into the relegation zone...

Tbf we’ve plenty in this forum doing the same.

To be fair, that does sound like an accurate description of Marlon in a good chunk of this season...

Loving the fact that on every page of gaschat is an ad saying “Red shirts wanted”. I mean, what were they thinking?

Unfortunately if you’re a geek being a redshirt isn’t something you’d want to be.

Likely to be shot/eaten/abducted/disintegrated while the captain looks on impassively.

I think steve lansdown turned his back on him after the promotion by refusing to buy the players cotterill wanted to sign.

But obviously he will get sweet FA if he takes over at rovers.

I loved the guy but he was handed L1 on a plate.  Still took a load of balls to do what he did though, we’ve seen many in the Championship fail with money thrown at them.

Will always have respect, and great memories from him.

However if he goes to Rover’s (can’t imagine he will) hope he’s shite.

6 minutes ago, bobby kellard was go said:

I just remember the endless posts against cotterill just like the current manager and every other manager.

Its not just BCFC though its how football is.

Probably a mistake by me and all the posters saying nice things about SC were defending him when he was struggling.

Well I personally applauded him whilst doing well.

I got arsey when he wouldn’t put up a full bench, I also questioned the support he had at that time from the owner/board.

He was petulant towards the end and failing, his fault or the powers that be is another argument.

You can’t just keep clapping when things are going pear shaped.

Seems pretty adamant about it. 

Always wondered why he named himself after a popular brand of urinal.

Classy appointment if true.

Although maybe we could get him as part of our groundstaff, those rugby lines would be gone in no time.

Football really is a different world. Where else could you fail, slag the owners off in public and still get years worth of pay on being sacked?

Not having a go at Dopey in particular but what other jobs offer that?

Bullshit. Henbury Gas said both would be built.

Yep but he strikes me as the kind of guy who goes to ‘Area 51’ on his holidays.
