Sweeneys Penalties

Top job from Cooper. Well done The Tricky Trees

I could be wrong but think a certain Dixie McNeil did us a lot of damage

C'mon the Bees....

The Bees didn't bumble

Burnley are at Villa on Thursday. Suspect they'd need to win to stand any chance. Suspect Everton are safe

Very true 

my condolences about you living in Swindon mind 

Yeah. It wasn't the highlight of my life. Never mind, in Corsham now

It’s the same where I live in Wiltshire now . I went to college in Swindon for two years and the whole time I was there I only met one Swindon fan everyone else supported Liverpool , arsenal,Chelsea or utd . When asked why they didn’t support Swindon they said it’s because their  

You forgot Tottenham. In fairness you only need to look toward the London slum clearances and the large number of Londoners who were promised "a house in the Country". Then subsequently wound up in bloody Swindon. I lived in Swindon for 10 years (worked there for nearer 20) and was surprised to see "Arsenal in the Community" one lunchtime down in the shopping centre. Most STFC fans seemed to live outside of Swindon (in Calne, Chippenham, Devizes etc)

I havent watched an FA Cup Final since....certainly the 90's. It doesnt hold the same feeling any more. Maybe I'm just growing old but it used to be an occasion. Now its just another game I have no interest in

Your post got me thinking (I’m similar and could name the teams , results , scorers through 70s and 80s but last 10-15 years , clueless

But , for a bit of fun I tried just now to name the Sunderland 1973 Final side - Without looking , I’m short of three

Can you or anyone name the eleven from memory ?

Better than me. I remembered 7 of em

Grandads Team - Bristol City

Dads team - Bristol City.

Mums team - None. 

Local team - Bath City. League wise (Geographically)...um....City

Your team - City. Obvs.

Kids team - zero kids. 

Claim to fame? Loose really. I have relatives who played for City, Gas and Swindon and another who worked at the Saints Academy

End of a season thoughts? Watching Somerset Cricket could parallel watching City. I may take a leaf out of Robboreds summer manual and turn up at the local bowls club. I read earlier that Curtis Davis was ooc soon and he was being linked with City. At 37 I thought he'd be too old by now

I would say so. I live in Wiltshire and the majority of Bristol Rovers fans I know of are 50+. A lot more younger Bristol City fans around this area.

I also live in Wiltshire. Imagine my shock at driving through Corsham yesterday evening and spotting a young un in da famous quarters. I nearly lost my appetite

It's not about STFC it's about Northampton Town and the integrity of the game.

Oh behave. Football and integrity divorced years ago

Anyone wishing those ****s well ain’t City in my opinion 

50 odd years of support for City says I'm a City fan. I'm mostly ambivalent about the Gaseous ones tbh. A local Derby sets me off, but them coming 3rd in the Gloucestershire and District league doesn't wind me up one jot

He’ll lead the lemmings in a “city we’re coming for you cry”, I expect some “sleeping giants” talk and they’ll be even bigger insufferable pricks than they normally are.

The Derby keeper got sent off and Paul Simpson scored a hat trick against us that day. Wayne Allison scored the winner with a perfect header. 3-4 to City at the old Baseball Ground. What a dump that place was……

I remember watching it live.

 

Not sure "dump" is the word I'd use. it was certainly old, full of atmosphere (at least it was for that game). I liked the Baseball Ground

Up the Fulham. Seriously. Support the little guy. We'll be there one day, (I hope)

It would be better if they were back in the Conference. At least they went quiet for a while and crawled under their stones instead of singing the blues every five minutes.

They would have loved it had we got relegated this season so how anyone can have a love-in with them is beyond me.

I definitely don't have a "love in" with them, but they do amuse..... as did Donald Trump. Get Promoted from L2? I don't care. Get relegated from L2? I don't care. They make me smile, they are occasionally ball achingly nauseating but as long as they keep their distance...I'm happy

I can’t remember Rogers’s running gait, just his own goals!

Dave Rogers always gave everything. Yes he made the odd mistake but he never claimed he was an International Class defender. In many ways he was/is Mr Bristol City

Come on, The Vegans. FTG.

I suspect the jig is up for Swindon now.

I agree. Swindon are too far away, but its a giant improvement on how they started the season. Suspect the Gastards will finish third, but League 1 will be a very tough ask for them 

4 points more than I thought we'd get this Easter. I feel a little easier about next season now

My first visit to Bramall Lane in 1958 resulted in the following.

Sitting in the cafe in John Street right outside the  stadium and drinking tea with United players.

Free Complimentary ticket from Alan Hodgkinson, the current England Goalkeeper.

A 4-0 defeat.

Bottle of beer on train home from Bert Tindill and in the same carriage as the City squad.

Lived up the hill from Bramall Lane for a while and wasn't averse to sitting on their Kop End to watch the odd midweeker. Decent set of fans!

He played in midfield, I think he was in the same apprentice group as Andy Llewellyn 82-84 ish, he was from Frome or nearby.

 

Can't remember Nigel Smith but certainly remember Nigel Hawkins. Bit unlucky with injury iirc
