NOTBLUE

It’s easy really,fans go to every game they can(circumstances allowing),they are fanatics who live and breath their club,supporters go when ever they can ,and their teams result is the first they look out for every time they play.Followers are just that,they follow teams results and league positions,but if their particularly team lose,it’s soon forgotten.Next door is a Liverpool follower,never ever been to Anfield ,next door to him is an Arsenal follower,never ever been to The Emirates.To be fair the Liverpool follower did used to go and watch The Sags when he was younger,no idea why he follows Liverpool though.

I went to both semi finals and the difference in behaviours was apparent. You can see why some Europeans hate the English drinking culture. Italy v Spain was very good natured, fans mixing, having a good time - a genuine party. The England v Denmark game was on another level inside and outside of the stadium and just had that edge to it that you can feel at a derby game or when you're playing Millwall or Cardiff. Like it would only take a spark and the whole place would go up. I know numbers wise there were FAR more England fans in attendance than any of the other teams with it being a home tournament at that point but it was madness. I hate this beer throwing thing that seems to be part of it now and I reckon I probably showered in £300 worth of Carlsberg that day (Wembley prices). Being at the game itself was incredible but there was a real sense of people blowing off steam post covid. 

I’d hardly call 2pints getting showered,a bit damp maybe.

Wasn't the Trumpton game rearranged from a time when we had everyone fit and were absolutely flying or have I imagined that?

‘Tis true,rumour had it that during a somewhat wet week,they actually watered their pitch.

Pretty sure the injury to Bob Taylor didn't help us much as he missed the game . Saying that they did play to their strengths. Lump it up to Devon White and feed off him. Their midfield just went around kicking shit out of ours.

Very similar to what City did to those ***** after the game. 

I worked in Filton at the time and dreaded going to work the next day.

Well I reckon our biggest mistake was challenging that lump when the ball was hoofed up to him,all it meant was that one of our centre defenders was instantly out of the game,should of just dropped off of him and picked up the seconds.Just my opinion mind.

Those area line were never as defined as some think.
I grew up in BS2 , my mates were City too. Went to Whitefield and there were plenty of City there and we used to run coaches from the Maypole in Hanham in the 80s . I had plenty of mates in Kingswood & Hanham that were City , Easton and Fishponds too , I have mates that grew up in Filton . Overall maybe , but never as black & White ( Red & Blue) as it has been painted at times.

Moved from Hartcliffe to St Paul’s when I was 3,when growing up there I can remember games of football in St Agnes park ,City v Rovers,definitely 50/50.My older brothers also went to Whitefield,they were proper late sixties Skinheads.

I've been told that Jamie McAllister has been sacked after he allegedly headbutted someone at the awards evening.

Seen the above on twitter, could be bollocks

 

I thought it was just minibuses they liked headbutting

Perhaps someone called him a ******* sh*thead.

I agree on both highlighted points wendy - unless the SPL is considered a ‘step up’ for Conway…….……

As for Twine - no we haven’t seen enough of him particularly as he’s been missing and won’t have yet regained the match sharpness. Any player that’s been injured for quite some time would have the same readjustment to match fitness.

That said the glimpses we have seen have shown what a fully fit Twine would bring. His set piece delivery is excellent as we saw at Norwich and he can certainly see a pass. He and Williams in midfield would be quite a prospect - I don’t think he’s worth anywhere near £5m quoted tho but if City could get him for half that or maybe £3m then go for it.

What I will say about Twine is that he wins(?) a lot of free kicks.

It’s the players wearing the shirt that matters to me,not that the shirt has or has not got a red and white cross on the back.

It'll be Tinnion until the season's end while they conduct a 'rigourous process'.

When we will headhunt Matt Taylor from from our nearest but not dearest.

I think it’ll be a slow start,then absolutely take off when we head hunt ‘ Matt Taylor’.

Football’s been crap for three months is the simple retort to that, what does the loon expect?

To be fair,the football has been(with the odd exception )crap for about 4-5 seasons.

I thought the booing yesterday was a culmination of the QPR,Wednesday and Cardiff games,plus a first half totally devoid of,well,anything.It was as if a decent performance at at Ipswich had totally removed those games from JW’s memory.

Just now, Numero Uno said:

Not sure if you meant that. It certainly bore me out!!

No it wasn’t intentional,but it certainly works.

Manning more or less said in his post match interview that the plan(?) was not to lose the game.That first half of non football bore this out.Then with about 20 minutes left,we seemed to realise that Swansea weren’t really up to much,and when we  started getting the ball forward a lot quicker,we created about 3 or 4 good chances,the atmosphere noticeably picked up(no coincidence there),as they say ‘it ain’t rocket science.

Fast,front foot,aggressive,all out attack football,3-0 win,……….or maybe something completely different,no one has a clue.
