I totally agree. Mic up the refs. Might stop players and managers abusing them also.

Taunton not wasted any time.

Anyone get pissed off when opposition fans call Bristol a “Rugby town”. Nobody ever says “who are you, Bears or Bath” as their first question, it’s always “City or Rovers”.

Nige now reporting Kalas has a knee injury (wear and tear), which at least backs up what I heard that the groin minor op was ok, but something else.

Yes, this was mentioned after the Yate game the other night.

Over 24k tickets sold now.

According to Nige’s pre-match interview yesterday: Pring - has been training, back in contention for Saturday Vyner - ill but took part in a light session yesterday (was missing from training day) Semenyo - making progress Tomas Kalas wasn’t asked about which makes me think he might be in contention this weekend.

Isn’t one of Chris Garland’s relatives in the games too?

I read the thread title and thought it was something to do with the fashion police.

I know he’s not on loan, but Janneh played 90 for Cambridge tonight as they knocked Millwall out of the cup 1-0. Honeyman sent off.

The bloke is a bell-end. He makes Ian Gay seem positive about City.

That’s exactly it. As I’ve mentioned it is possible to insert clauses, e.g. “sell-on percentage only applies if sold within original term of contract” so if SS signed a 3 year contract with us and that clause was applied, then it ran out on 30th June 2022.

No, the default is that sell-ones persist through all future transfers unless specific clauses are added. So, Colchester had a sell-on when he went to Peterborough. Colchester and city have a sell-on now he’s moved from Peterborough to Blackburn. Colchester’s “return” is less and less each time, e.g. 20% initially, then 20% of 20% (4%) this transfer. Obviously none of us have sight if the transfer deal itself so all guesswork.

I enjoyed it like I did Quest. Murray is gonna be tough to replace but new guy was perfectly fine. He’s not on next Saturday, we get to see the other presenter instead.

Jordan Jones, Bristol World. Graham isn’t a fan!!! ??? Kalas’s contract runs out next summer. Wiles-Richards not there…but u23s are playing tonight.

None of us know, you could be right. I bet Colchester got a sell on though.

Good thread of updates.

Haha, peak school holiday period, getting extra fans through the turnstiles even at £12.50 is good going.

Sometimes (probably most of the time for games like Hull) the allocation is “sell or return”. But I can’t believe we let Sunderland have a 3338 allocation right off the bat on that basis. We would have to ensure we had police, stewards, catering, etc, etc in place in case they sold the lot…and those costs will remain.

That’s great, that would taje the total to 23k plus. Shame I’m on hols, will be a good atmosphere.

Yeah, agree, the point I was making is that we are very likely to be giving 20% of that to Colchester as part of the initial compo tribunal when he signed for us. So more likely £240k (if £300k is our bit from Peterborough). FWIW, if rumours of £3m are true, I reckon we got £1.25m initially, so I think it’s more like £350k from Peterborough and £70k of that to Colchester, netting us £280k. MacAnthony doesn’t let players go cheap!

City saying 23k sold. I’m guessing Sunderland’s allocation is non-returnable, so even if they haven’t sold all of them, City get the money? Guess that’s why most clubs allocate in smaller batches, then request more?

Is that “ITK” or a best guess like mine? Every example of compensation under PFCC I’ve seen has had a 20% sell-on.

Less £60k to Colchester!

The ref made some shocking decisions against us (well before the penalty), not cautioning their players, in fact one player committed several bookable offences. When you see a Lino flagging vigorously, it’s usually because of a bad challenge…we saw that a couple of times, and nothing. We don’t get the 50:50s, the lack of penalties across 2 seasons prove that. They are key decisions in matches and we get the shitty end of the stick. Ultimately the refs aren’t up to it, and they suck up to the perceived big club / ex-PL club too often.
