Scott's on it tonight.

tbf you can say that for pretty much every match

Pring with so much desire. He'll be another one we'll be lucky to hold onto in the summer

Great win. For the first time in ages, it really feels like the club is in a great place - money worries decreasing, fantastic academy boys coming through, and team performing well. Exciting times ahead

Too many stupid yellows

My statement was a general one about banter but your comment makes my case.

Agreeing to disagree is dead. If you disagree you are a bad person, if you dare to express a personal opinion that differs in any way from the current popular position you are automatically a bigot.

Free speech and free thought is being shut down by an ultra left minority. God help us.

You just used free speech and free thought to make that post...?

Noone is stopping you saying what you want. However freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences. Society as a whole has decided that homophobic insults are not acceptable and if someone chooses to yell these out at a football match, they will get into trouble. 

Just to add: it might be tempting to believe there is some big left wing conspiracy to stop people saying what they want, but reality is, some words/language have always been socially unacceptable. Its not unique to the current day and age

this reads like it was just mentioned in a low level council meeting rather than there has been any progress made.  The photo drives home how embarrassing it is that Bristol had a better transport network in the 1960s than it does in the 2020s.  

Go back before the war and bristol had a tram network too

No not a wind up. It is a site that archives all the seasons of league football. I went on there  to look up our performances in the old First division ,found this mildly amusing and thought I’d share it. 

Have you got Google Translate on?

There were no trains and no buses. And many people have unavoidable Boxing Day commitments. If he is complaining about that, it shows a remarkable lack of insight into other people’s lives and ability to adapt to circumstances.

Not to mention a crushing cost of living crisis when many people are struggling to put food on the table, let alone go to the football

He’s a big part of the reason why we are in this mess now. As in Ashton and Lansdown

Fair. That's what I meant by the shit part. But at least we got a few decent performances and there was a bit of positivity around Ashton gate

Sack.

I'm not normally one for changing managers, but Pearson is taking us down. He comes across as a stubborn bully and I think his style of management is outdated

Would any other championship club be starting with max o Leary? For all bents flaws he is still far superior

Change is needed as we can’t keep selecting a starting 11 with better players frozen out 

 

We have far greater problems in the team than who is in goal

Ah I’m fed up of this football club now and the shite we’ve put up with last 4 years or so. 

I miss the Johnson days. True, there was a lot of shit, but at least there were some highs and noone could say Johnson didn't have the best interests of the club at heart

It's like we're playing hoping to keep the score down to 4-0

And showed a glimpse of quality with his assist 

Ridiculous that he's been frozen out by Pearson the whole season

I think we will have enough to stay in this division, but Pearson can’t get any kind of consistency out of this group of players.

I miss those 8 league game winning runs

We showed enough in parts of that match to stay up. But terrible defending again has let us down. Special mention for Pring, who had a decent match

This sort of reminds me of when Brazil played Germany in 2014...

At least Germany weren't dancing around like smug p****s when they were already 4-0 up

It is pretty nauseating stuff.

I find this Brazilian team much more unlikeable than previous Brazils. Mainly because of Neymar I guess

England v Fammy in the next round

I'm not in favour of these schemes. Having lived with congestion charge in London for yonks, you soon realise that traffic is like water. Damn it up one way, it simply runs another, sometimes with disastrous effects.

The car I drive to games will be exempt from Bristol's charges, so by taking some larger vehicles and vans off the roads, it might actually make my journey options wider and easier - but that's not the point.

The real solution is by taking public transport back under public control and extending its scope and reliability, not to mention actually having a system that reliably tells you where buses are: the so-called First Bus App is a joke in Somerset. 

Last season, I took buses to games, but after the fourth time I found myself stranded because the evening bus back had been cancelled, I gave up and went back on the road. A negative for me and my mates (one of us has to stay sober) and the environment.

The way buses operate is so ******* random. My daughters would take one to school if they could. It's a two-mile journey, but unlike when I was a kid, the roads are too dangerous now to cycle in. They have to have to be there 8:30-8:45. There was a bus, but then First changed the time of arrival in Wells to either 8:05 or 9:05 - making it unusable by children. Result, lots of harassed mums and dads clogging up the roads every morning. 

 

Totally agree that the UK's public transport is useless (apart from maybe central London). It's been basically sabotaged by years of privatisation and underfunding, and the cuts in the 60s which robbed the country of most of its local train network. 

However, I live in Berlin which has excellent public transport and a decent network of cycle paths, and yet many people still choose to drive. 

Cars are great for convenience, but bad for just about everything else: air and noise pollution, vast areas of the country given over to roads and car parks, road traffic deaths etc. 

I get why some people need to drive - if you have limited mobility, or young kids, when you've got a van load of tools, or when there's no bus/train for your route, or when you're heading to the football with a car full of mates for example. But I have colleagues here who drive to work in the office because it takes 45 mins by bus vs. 30 mins by car - which leads to all the problems I mentioned above and more congestion for people who really need to drive. 

Understand your point about these congestion schemes, but equally I don't think simply making public transport better will drastically reduce the congestion on the roads - not until driving is less comfortable and/or people stop seeing the car as the default method of getting around. Expand the scope of public transport, make it affordable... and make driving more expensive/less convenient. 

Just my opinion and maybe not a popular one, but I hope that car traffic will be restricted in city centres. As you mentioned, the roads are now too dangerous to cycle in - largely I imagine by the sheer volume of traffic. 

FAMMMYYY!!

Haven't said that in while. Nostalgic
