  1. I dont watch anywhere near as much Football as I used to - the enjoyment factor disappeared over the horizon with it's ass on fire a fair while ago. 

    I used to blame my arthritic knee (still do to some extent), but even when England are playing on TV, I often dont bother to watch. I'm just not interested. I only bother to watch the EFL highlights on a Saturday evening if there is nothing better on

    I'd rather pop down to the local cricket club for a watch, or see Somerset Cricket and I've also started to get into bowling and occasionally watch the Rugby. 

    Guess I'm just getting older and grumpy

    Haha tell me about it!

    But for me it's purple/blue that I get confused all the time. Don't see the red element of the purple and so purple frankly doesn't exist for me.

    That's really interesting and is something new to me. You don't remember the documentary do you?

    PMd ya

    Being colourblind means the "purple" kits that we have tend to look blue, so in my world we've worn it as a kit on a few occasions.

    also colourblind. I think the two worst colours to distinguish are green and red... which makes an Ireland v Wales match almost impossible to watch as the colours are indistinguishable. Similarly if I look at a wiring loom I see the colour grey ONLY. EVERYTHING merges to grey. The colour blue is a standout colour for me, and I once watched a documentary which explained that colour blind people see the colour blue first and make sense of everything around that. It sort of made sense but I'm not sure how accurate that is.

  5. Been following City since November 71 when my Dad took me to watch a game (which we lost) from The Dolman Stand. Like a good few others on this forum I've seen good times and bad times but I  can  honestly say I've never been so disappointed by a managerial dismissal at Ashton Gate in that time. 

    If this situation has been bubbling for a good while (and it seems it has been) I would have thought that City would have been sounding out other candidates for the post and fully expect the successful candidate to be in situ for the Wednesday game. 

    That being the case,  it'll be an "out of work" head coach/manager and Gary Rowett would be a leading contender. I also believe we may opt for Neil Harris. Dean Smith, John Eustace etc....I just can't see it
