What a bizarre interview from Tisdale. I watched the game and they were far from "fabulous".

Odd bloke, some strange comments. At least we know for sure now he's not a magician.

Not sure IT even existed back then Joe, but I used to buy a programme every game, even though it was full of rubbish and the team sheet was created 2 days earlier.

At least in those days, the team was more stable and predictable other than in respect of injuries and there was only one sub.  The centre forward was always no. 9 whoever played there as was the CH as no. 5, etc.

And of course, they could use a much bigger font on the teams page back in the day as there were only 12 lads selected for each side, none of this multiple subs malarkey.

Any sniff of a view is right, Rob. According to one of their mods, Gashead1981: “We always try to reach a consensus and would usually seek 3 mods opinion on the matter to ban someone unless there was a fragrant break of the rules”.

Noticed they got Oxford away Saturday. Oh they could be having a proper meltdown if a certain someone scores. Love it if MT got a hat trick

Just to bring this back on topic, what about that shithouse of a club called "The Doghouse" in the North Stand at Eastville. I have a fleeting memory of actually going there for some obscure reason. Probably a better set of facilities than they currently have at the rugby ground though.

Me and Mrs Jacko went in there one time - only because it was free entry chucked in with the admission price to the greyhound racing.  No lasting memories of it, mind.

One of the strippers took me home after the club closed one Friday. For free!  Happy days!

Ah memories of youth!

1. I never leave before the end.

2. Tosser 

 

1. Agree 100% (I'll never forget those beauts who left Mansfield when the going got tough at 4-2 down)

2.  I'm really not that bad once you get to know me

Listening to Talksport this evening, the hosts wanted calls from fans who managed to get tickets to watch their team for the first time in 9 months and give a summary of the experience. First called was Charlton fan, Sam.  He had a bit of a whinge about his team and said that they were booed off at full time.  However,during the chat he admitted that he left before the end!  The hosts basically tore him a new one!  Sam said we'll it was the worst performance I've seen in 10 years.  Talksports bloke went back at him and said it was the best performance he must have been at in the last 9 months!  Also suggested to Sam that there was no big crowd to beat in the rush away from the ground..........hilarious conversation to be fair!

Which prompts me to ask 2 questions.

1 If and when BCFC can allow limited numbers back into the Gate......and YOU are lucky enough to have your name drawn out of the ticket hat, would you stay until the very end regardless of the standard City home performance?

And

2 If you don't manage to scab a ticket but your best mate does.....and he tells you the next day that he left on 80 minutes, what would your response be? 

My own answer to questions 2 might involve a length of 4x2 to maintain sensible social distancing

Cracking radio call, mind!

I love the English language, and how over time word meanings and spellings, change and shift. For example a new spelling for ‘incumbents’ is shown below.

 

Some bugger stole my username (or extremely similar....I can't 100% remember) since I got banned from a gas forum.  

And it wasn't the o2o2 chap!

That's a very long article that, which includes a lot of brown nosing of Wally and provides sod all new information. Typical Post article really!

I read the first three or so paragraphs and started losing focus.  This article is crying out for the professional services of @BigTone I suspect............

Why, our fans were even being accused of being in with the Mansfield fans when you lot got relegated out of the league! Talk about conspiracy theories.

By the way, none of us actually believed you would get relegated that day.

Like I've said previously I welcome reading your comments on here and because of your (in the main) balanced opinions I am pretty sure you must be a City fan at heart!

Football is all about opinions and the world would be a duller place if we all had the same ones.

Well I  believed they'd get relegated that day.  And so did my 119 mates who were 

A) celebrating the result in the ground with the away fans after the full time whistle

and

B)  waiting outside the ground with unruly intent (!) at exactly the same time.

Perennial victims, eh?

IMO it was dangerous play and Cash should have got a straight red. just like Freeman at Brentford.

I think that the problem may be.....the view from behind O'Dowda made it look like Cash caught him in the upper chest.  The camera behind the goal line clearly showed a kick to the mush.  Ref didn't have that view, though.

Have you got the link?

Obviously total Fake News from the Daily Fail.......they've included a photo that states that "THIS GROUND IS A MEMORIAL".  Of course, we all remember when the Pikeys were trying to flog the Mem off they were insistent that it's only the gates that are a memorial to the fallen.  Couldn't have picked a better photo to slot into a national paper myself  

End it now and whenever it's absolutely safe to get the next season going, start teams on a (this season's) points per game average, multiplied by the number of this season's matches that were unplayed (9) and rounded up to a whole number.

This would see (for example) Dirty Leeds and WBA starting next season on 19 points each.......Fulham 16, Brentford and Forest 15, Preston and City on 14.....and down at the bottom we'd have Charlton on 10, with Luton and Barnsley kicking off on 9 points each.  Starting positions would be pretty much the same as they are now, just no goal difference involved.  This would give some sort of a reward for 2019/20 achievements so far and the big test for sides would be whether they can maintain or improve performances for the next full season.  Would be hilarious if Leeds blew it, mind!  

Although I'm old and rickety, I'm blessed that I was able to watch The Cheese playing for BCFC.  Man was awesome, just had his career ended too soon.  I'm convinced that he'd have been a full England regular if he hadn't got crocked.  As someone else said, an improvement on Paul Mariner at that time.  

It was nice to be in the Lansdown lounge hearing him speak a couple of seasons back at the Hull (5-5) game.  Legend, and a status that was well earned.  

Looking at the attachment, the geezer drove a Cortina 1600E.  The stuff that dreams are made of, eh!

Abacus

I used an old hand-operated calculator/abacus when I was working at Barclays Bank in the early 70's.  

We went digital when this little beauty came out, mind.

This won’t happen, Twerton Park isn’t upto EFL standards plus they want to install a 4G pitch. So looks like they’ll have to beg someone else to let them rent their ground instead.

I look forward to an @BigTone potted summary of this whole saga.  I might have a slim chance of understanding what it's all about, then.........

I understand this 100%.  I had to buy a van when I was working up on Kintyre.  

I'd only hand over the cash once the dealer agreed to describe it on the receipt as "Peugeot Bipper Van, colour Adriatic Dawn".
