Ark at you getting your text read out on Radio Bristol!

Expletives deleted, I hope

I though JET was awesome tonight. I've never seen him work so hard. He got a standing ovation when he was subbed and deserved it.

Salako on sky said we wuz excellent second half and played with tempo. Fair?

That's the key thing about the games I've seen. The same football, but at a gradually increasing pace. It was too much for Crawley second half.

I think gd shows just how tight most of our games have been. Hopefully we will start seeing some confidence return. THe games I have seen we have been competitive, but no more than that. If we can push on a little now, it would be nice to watch a game without unduly worrying about the bottom of the table. Fingers crossed.

Ten points off the pray-offs, mind

Bring on the Thatch! My local will be full of plastic Mancs, but H & I know what it is to be REAL fans

Horace says it's his best birthday EVER

What did I tell you all?

COME ON YOU REDS!!

This is Horace's birthday treat. Hedgehogs are easily pleased.

Seriously, Crawley are dreadful. I stand by my 2-0 forecast.

Horace is very philosophical about things. After every draw and defeat he just shrugs his spines and says "better luck next time"...

What does he say when we win?

I don't know, he's only two...

At the ground now 3G useless so I'll just say

COME ON YOU REDS!!

Special bus almost empty, but the driver says there's 66 on.

Has it started? Blimey.

There's someone who didn't put his clock forward

Right. We're on our way.

Horace says, bring on the Crawlies!

Yes it's early but there has been such a negative atmosphere (despite dropping only 2 points from 2 games) I thought I'd see if we could build up a positive feel at least til kickoff. After that you are all welcome to post you're darkest thoughts.

City to win 8-4 JET 2, Bobby 2, Flint, Maloney, Waggy and Baldock

Assists to all come from the back 5

Match abandoned after 87 minutes due to flocks of pigs settling on the East End roof.

How about some fans stop behaving like morons!

Just a thought, but a bit more respect from the club might help in that direction. Less Them and Us, more Us and Us.

If the facts are as stated then yes it was an injustice, I haven't disputed that. I suspect there's more to it myself. Anyway, I'm not sure what you think I don't get?

Heavy handed policing and zero tolerance from the club have everything to do with how other fans behave. They didn't just wake up and decide one day to be a bastards about it. It took years of violence for the current state of affairs to evolve. It will not change whilst people condone, excuse and continue that kind of thing so it makes no sense at all to complain about injustice at the same time as attempting to justify hurling coins.

I'm pretty sure nobody's been jailed without a trial so I think we can leave the dictatorship comparisons out.

No, but one of the City fans who were framed at Walsall pleaded guilty, because he couldn't face a trial - he now has a criminal record.

In that case Colin Sexstone rode up on his white charger. That wouldn't happen now.

And when you say jailed without a trial, you should be aware that there are trials and trials, as many who were at the Cardiff game will testify.

There are either some inconsistencies here or some info missing. Why was the lady visibly distressed? Who were you swearing at? If they were a mate, why didn't they give a statement in your defence? Your brief seems a little unusual too. I am struggling to see how you got convicted here if this is the full story.

You seem to have a lot of bad luck with police but if the facts are as you say they are and you didn't do anything wrong, then you should write to the chairman of the club and protest your ban, the FSF for support and the IPCC as to why you were wrongfully arrested and why your accuser was not charged with making a false statement.

I would have thought your experiences would make you even more anti violence at football since that is the root cause and continuing excuse for heavy handed policing.

You really don't get it, do you? The point is that the police acted on a false malicious accusation and, although the police eventually released him without charge, the club chose to ban him for six months. That is injustice pure and simple, and has absolutely nothing to do with how other fans behave.

At the risk of invoking Godwin's Law, I would point out that one of the things that allow dictatorships to imprison people at random is the belief that "innocent folk have nothing to fear". Quite clearly they do....

A bit like the West Midlands Serious Crime Squad

The only glimmer of light is despite our disastrous season, we're not adrift!

There is clearly lots of other dross in this league!

We actually moved up the table with a home draw

Nope you'll have to enlighten us, with the answer, you obviously know.

If it's not obvious, then listen to what SOD says about it.

Still, thanks to a late equaliser from Preston City can pull out of the bottom 4 if we beat Crawley.. some incentive, one would hope.

That's the difference from last season. I couldn't believe the results from the teams around us

Why are we so poor at home?
