Bristol City v. Sunderland

English League – First Divsion

Played at Bristol this afternoon in brilliant weather. The great game was watched by fully 18,000. The opening stages were all in favour of the homesters, for whom Nixon did some brilliant work. After thirteen minutes Burton, following good work by Maxwell, opened the scoring. Sunderland then improved their play, but failed to score. Gilligan improved the City’s lead with a hot shot.  Interval :- Bristol City 2 ; Sunderland 0.

In the second half Sunderland were without Hogg. They played excellent football, however, but did not shoot accurately. After thirty five minutes of this moiety Maxwell was responsible for putting Bristol ahead with a glorious shot, with which Roose had no chance. An exciting game resulted in an excellent win for Bristol who have now practically saved themselves from entering the Second Division

BRISTOL CITY 3

SUNDERLAND 0

Anyone notice a poorer atmosphere when chucking  toilet rolls went out of fashion?

(I initially typed poorer without the first "r" which would have changed the message somewhat.)

Parachute payments should only be used to cover a proportion of current contracts. Any new signings or renegotiated contracts should be funded from normal club income.

I made the mistake of reading one of their articles.

Headline - "Bristol City supporter banned..........."

Content - Two Bristol Rovers supporters banned, one Bristol City supporter banned (and one Bournemouth fan)

I was not able to find reference to this article in the Rovers section of the site., It is currently the top article in the City section.

Bias or what?

Mods. Can you change the thread title to "LJ not in a Covid rant?"

There are good pubs over the river in Putney

Making Palmer train by himself on the pitch before the game doing sprints between the half way line does seem a bit petty doesn't it?

Maybe he wants to appear on the pitch before he goes?

The match ball was delivered by remote controlled model truck in one of the Euro matches. Rovers wanted to do something similar but were advised that the cart would leave a rut and the horse a residue.

Just like Bristol, Malwarebytes is red. (part 2 of an occasional series)

I just tried to get to Gaschat for some amusement. Blocked due to trojans, or lack of football content, or something.

I do try to avoid this thread but keep getting drawn back. Apparently Bavaria, like Bristol. is red

Just  a coincidence, but I was listening to King Crimson today and heard this:

Your admirers on the street
Got to hoot and stamp their feet
In the heat from your physique
As you twinkle by mocassin sneakers
And I thought my heart would break
When you doubled up the stake
With your fingers all a shake
You could never tell a winner from a snake

Didn't someone say our neighbours are looking for a new song?
