    Scroll down the page, the working link is below the ads etc 

    Thanks for trying to help but I have no issue finding the embedded video but it and the 15 or so others i have tried this evening are not working for me. I was about to say that it didn't matter but it appears that we have equalised , ill check the match link for the goal replay when it gets posted!

    Yes bare bones and we're 13th in the table 13 pts and a much better goal diference from the bottom 3 with potentially a lot of money to improve the squad  next season so the extreme negativity and constant criticism and moaning on this forum is quite ridiculous and as I previouly said I really don't know why some(in fact it's quite a lot) actually bother following City If it made me so miserable I certainly wouldn't.

    Well everyone is entitled to a good moan after a performance of that quality. No way we are going down though.

    Does watching City ever bring you any joy ? pack it in and do something else because it sure isn't making you happy  and that goes for many of the other miserable moaning f*****s on here.

     

    Yes just not tonight it would seem. I'm not saying the sky is falling in but that was a poor performance and there was no plan B tonight. we are down to bare bones and it shows.

    "Never pay" - This is really, really bad advice and a good way to potentially get a CCJ on your credit record.

    Your link is specifically about unfair tickets, not ones where you just ignored visible signs or whatever and don't want to pay up. If someone simply parks where they shouldn't and gets a ticket, and the private company has followed the rules then it's often best to just pay up in my opinion.

    Some of these companies, including "Parking eye" now regularly do follow through on their threats and make county court claims.

    https://www.parkingcowboys.co.uk/parking-eye/

    "Ignoring private parking tickets was the popular advice until late 2012. Before then, threatening letters would be sent for months after the ticket, but in the end, they would just stop when the parking company realised the recipient would not ‘bite’. Few parking companies attempted to enforce tickets in court due to the fact that this area of law was ‘grey’ and that the costs would outweigh the income from the ticket anyway.

    However, in late 2012 Parking Eye started a campaign to change that perception (and in turn their income) by issuing court claims. Their theory was that faced with a claim, many motorists would simply fold and pay up. Further, by going to court with a solicitor to argue against a member of the public with no legal background, the odds would be stacked in their favour. There were also those that ignored the court papers, meaning that a county court judgement was issued by default. This campaign was very successful for ParkingEye; the perception of their tickets has been changed meaning that ignoring isn’t the simple answer it used to be.

    In the first 9 months of 2015 ParkingEye issued 24,540 small claims. Of these, 724 went to a hearing. This suggests both that ParkingEye are not afraid to issue claims, but also that a large number of cases are settled ahead of a hearing."

    Yes don't ignore. Got a CCJ 4 years ago and didn't find out till last year. Got it backdated but still had to pay the original penalty. 

  5. Not renewing after 20 ish non consecutive seasons (missed a couple whilst at uni) . The only way is down for us next season and I will be putting money on it. I cant bring myself to go to the remaining games, it's just so poor. 

    Manager is not up to the task. I dont know if anyone available right now would be either.

    Core number of players for next season are not good enough for the league.

    Finances are shot so incomings are going to be the same quality as King and James and the like as we are not an attractive proposition at all right now. Sure we could sell one or two but they would have to be replaced and I Don't see us getting better than what we sell. 

    We ship goals for fun and Weiman isn't going to get 20 next season. 

    Depending on who comes up from L1 I don't think there will be 3 worse teams than us.

    Call me a pessimist or whatever but this is how I feel.

  6. Just had an email from Mansion bet stating they are closing for good end of this month !? 

    I'm all for the halt on gambling being forced down our throat, but it does strike me as odd occurring before the end of the season. Have they not built up a enough f a user base to feed from ? Were they just a front for JL to funnel more money into the club ? Is it something else to do with Mark Ashton ?

    Any and all other conspiracy theories are welcome.

    Poor clearance from Klose totally...thats an error for the goal, but O'Dowda is again weak with his body and arms preceding it.  That is an unnecessary error, regardless of what happens after isn't it. You cannot let yourself be outmuscled there.  That's the basics of football I'm afraid. It happens too often with Callum.

    failings all over the pitch for the goal. O'dowda keeping the ball in , Klose scuffing the clearance, Dasilva and Kalas ball watching for the cross.

    There’s not really much ‘packing in’ going on at AG nowadays. Loads of space if you wanna sit away from people. And besides, you’ll spend the majority of your time ‘outside’.  You are more likely to be breathed on by a dirty carrier when you are squashed up in the pub together, or standing for 20 minutes in a disorganised throng of people waiting to be searched, like the recent games, or indeed standing in a queue for 10 minutes in the concourse waiting for your latest round of high-fat content food or alcohol, both of which are more likely to make you unfit and unhealthy and more susceptible to a bad case of Covid. 
    Vaccine passports have been in place in many countries for many months, and they haven’t made a blind bit of difference. So the real world data says that they simply do not make a jot of difference. 
    The funniest news I saw this week : France made vaccine passports mandatory in nightclubs in July. Earlier this week they closed nightclubs again. So, who was spreading this virus in nightclubs?? 
     

    Ultimately, vax passes don’t work. There is no evidence in any of the places that have implemented them that they stop spread. Having 1, 2 or 3 vaccines does not stop you catching covid and does not stop you passing it on. The only benefit which is clear is that it may prevent someone who previously would have had a high risk of death that they may now get through it. So yes, vaccines are good for anyone who is vulnerable to this virus. But they are pretty much negligible for everyone else. 
     

    It seems to be forgotten that millions and millions of people caught covid before vaccinations and survived. In fact, most of them didn’t even know they had it. There has recently been a narrative that says the opposite to that known fact - now it’s said that if you haven’t had a vaccine you are probably going to be hospitalised. Which of course, is absolute nonsense. 
     

    It really amazes me that most people are absolutely apoplectic at this governments actions in pretty much everything they do, that everyone knows that governments and media tell lies on a regular basis, and yet people simply fall in line with anything they say in regard to covid. One minute it’s “I hate this government, they don’t represent me”, the next it’s “must show my pass to go to football, because the government said so”. It’s laughable. Actually, it’s not laughable. It’s actually very very sad. 
    I’m not willing to play this nonsense game that the government are playing. I’m not anti vax or a sceptic or anything.
    Covid exists.  Yes.  
    Covid can be dangerous for a very very small number of people. Yes.  
    Covid is not any danger for the vast vast vast majority of people. Yes. 
    Vaccines can help the most vulnerable to fight it off. Yes. 
    Vaccines are necessary for everyone else who are not vulnerable to death from the virus. No! 
    Coercion has been used to get vaccines into healthy children. Yes. 
    Is that ******* disgusting and forever unforgivable. Yes. 
    Do vaccine passports stop spread. No. 
    Can a vaxxed person catch it. Yes. 
    Can a vaxxed person pass it on. Yes. 
    What will vaccine passports do? Nothing. 

    If you and I are both at football and we both catch the new covid variant. Who is more likely to be hospitalised ? 

    Is it me with my vaccinations or you without ? 

    So now let's say you didn't go to the game as you don't have a covid passport. So now you don't catch covid. And now you don't burden the NHS . Multiply this scenario out for the whole country and you can see how it helps reduce the burden on the NHS. 

    I would say the passport worked.

    996 beds in southmead hospital and there are 50 beds occupied with covid patients right now, 60% of which are unvaccinated.  Hospitals are not overwhelmed with covid despite what is being said.  

    You have missed the point entirely.

    Every one of those beds occupied potentially could have been prevented. Then add on all the test and trace etc to get them from the point of infection to today. 

    And we are are the start of a new variant so it's only going to get worse. 

  10. I know I'm a bit of a pessimist , but I thought the game largely bypassed him (amongst others on our team) . I'll have to look at the extended highlights. Fair play to him for getting the goal.
