Marina's Rolls Royce

I have zero interest in the lack of  fortunes with the gas or if they lose to Wombledon.

I am so over rovers which is why I never comment and feel pity for those of you who feel the need to.

Thanks, and thanks for your kind words. As I write she is due to have a procedure to remove fluid from her lungs. You are 100% correct that she will be getting better care in Flinders rather than the small country hospital that is Victor.

My family all live in Seaford on the southern outskirts of Adelaide so Dad has gone to stay with my Sister. Problem is he is 96 so is not handling the situation too well. Mum is 91.

We are worried that when Mum passes (which is inevitable) that he will just pine away also. He is not in great health either and each day is a bonus if he stays vertical rather than horizontal with the falls he has.

Normally I visit twice a year for 4 weeks but obviously can't do so now. Just want to be with them and do my bit to help. That is probably my biggest downer at the moment. I fully appreciate and understand the situation but my inability to be there for them is eating away at me.

Wife is due an op on 7th Jan but they have assured us it's nothing terminal which is a relief. In the meantime though she needs my assistance also as her mobility is very restricted.

Trying my best to remain positive but have good & bad moments.

No wonder I drink !!!

With genuine sincerity- I send my best wishes to you at a very very difficult life moment.

Scotty Murray- top top bloke and general legend

John Gorman-  more important to BCFC than most would realise.

Artwork- IMO... AWFUL and not in a Matt Smith way.

There- I've said it.

( display in the National Portrait Gallery will now probably follow)

Personally I think the season should be voided -no promotion or relegation.

However, this may be a bit unfair on Leeds so I would like to see Ted Rodgers come back and show them what they could have won- you know - pictures of travelling to Arsenal, Liverpool etc along with untold riches and then present Bielsa with Dusty Bin. It was an extremely popular method of settling a competition funnily enough on TV the last time Leeds were in top flight.

Leeds.

Nuff said.

What a fantastic gesture by our players on as much as £20,000.00 per week (or more) to donate a small proportion of their salary ( which gets paid no matter what) to a help and assistance fund for the elderly and/or vulnerable long term loyal City fans to help ensure they get the provisions they need to get through this crisis. A wonderful gesture to those people who have supported City through thick and thin over decades despite their own personal circumstances.

Or did I just make this up because that's what I'd most like to happen?

Surely Sir Colin Daniel should take over as player coach? There is a strong connection between the clubs going back several years.

Bristol Rovers' 94-year stay in the Football League came to an end after they lost against Mansfield. 

The Pirates needed a draw at home to the Stags but found themselves behind after Colin Daniel volleyed in off the post in the 36th minute.

Oxford to educate rovers fans.

Now there's a sentence you'd never have dreamt as possible.

Yes- but not Rugby

I can see it perfectly clear mate. I've had a season ticket for going on 25 years now and can honestly say this last 18 months has been the first time in my life where I feel genuinely emotionless about following City and can literally sit there and just see it for what I believe it is. I almost feel like a neutral half the time 

I just don't think Johnson has what it takes to evolve into a good coach at this level.We still have the same weaknesses and are making the same mistakes as last season. We are still playing this tippy tappy rubbish which looks great on the possession stats...but more often then not we create very little

The bloke talks a great game. Gives it all the guff and lots of people get sucked in

 

 

 

Blimey- you must have been asleep for at least 21 of those years.

He must have watched it.

Your not allowed to have opinions of you listened

I just whole heartily don't rate our manager / head coach....or whatever you want to call him 

The bloke is so over rated it makes me cringe every time he opens his mouth and one of his 'sound bites' poor out 

In respect of your first comment- I really do think that watching a game is 100% totally different to listening to a game- and I don't believe anyone has said you're not allowed an opinion- more that it's the wrong opinion based solely on a non visual commentary.

The second quote is just how you are Andy. You dislike Lee Johnson so much and in every way that it clouds your ability to see that a point- any point , whilst not ideal, is ok having gone 2-0 down. If any score other than a win is going to do your head in then I suggest you seek another outlet for your angst. 

Personally, I'm ok about it and believe we'll get better but have no real expectation that we're destined for anything other than an ok season. Lee would never have sold his best players if he had any say in it and given the chance would happily have spent millions more on better recruits. But we're Bristol City not Man City.

Why not throw in "you must be Gas" to

God forbid anyone criticises our head coach 

I have no doubt you are a fan of BCFC.

It's just that your posting record suggests that you're not a very good one.

How many games last season did we not take chances to then completely balls it up at the back?

We continue to give away shocking goals. How many games last season did we just gift the opposition goals?

Bolton are dreadful. We are gonna be playing far superior teams then them this season 

You're just a negative version of Thatch

Did you watch? Guessing not if you rubbished my post as we actually played some very good football.

Always makes me wonder how people form such strong opinions based on radio and text. 

The day @Andy082005 has anything positive to say is when he's proved right and we're relegated.

Why are you guys so hysterically negative?

We haven't lost a single game this season.

Bobby Reid starting for Cardiff at Bournemouth.

 

It's a toughie, this one.

On the one hand I want Bobby to do brilliantly and on the other I'd love to see cardiff start their journey back to Championship.

Bournemouth 7 Cardiff 2 with both from Bobby would probably be tolerable.

So - Bolton just won at WBA and the consensus is we should have enough to win?

We haven't won a league game away this year. We have a terrible record up there too. I will be pleased with a point personally.

I'm afraid I have to agree. A point is probably more likely and may well become a feature of our season. We haven't won an away game in 14 matches so a win today would be a massive pick-me-up.

Luckily the powers that be are more clued up than the minority on here. 

There are posters who are desperate for LJ to fail and have been since he was appointed. They'll jump on anything slightly negative. 

This is absolutely true although I'm not aware of anyone calling for LJ's head as such .

I very rarely take notice of the poster as I scan the posts .

A good post doesn't always come from the same source .

 I do notice sometimes I ' like ' a Post and recall that the poster and I have had differences of opinions over time .

So none of it is personal ,just  a lot of sillyness to help pass the time between matches.

 I love you all .

 

I simply can't ignore you.

You may have noticed MRR - I certainly have - that over a long period there are several posters, occasionally in tandem, who make it their business to try to rile @BobBobSuperBob.

I hope if Bob is ever forced to have another 'forum holiday' because he 'over reacts' to them, and they choose to report him (which appears to be their aim imo.) then the mods will have noticed this and at the same time relieve the forum of their presence for a similar period.

Fair's fair, it takes two to tango after all.

These posters know who they are and I'm sure Bob will be well aware too. If I was him I'd simply put 3 or 4 posters on ignore without delay and any forum unpleasantries involving him would probably stop overnight.

Yep - it's most definitely a two way street in any ongoing spat as are the choices of whether to engage or move on . However disagreeable someone may be , so far I've never used the ignore button simply because experience says that consistently unpleasant posters are usually hoisted by their own petard and I can't bear the thought of not being a spectator. It's like going for a pee when Fammy scores a worldie!

The rest is above my pay grade.
