Still reckon the end dream is a knighthood !

I have a hazy recollection (maybe complete bollocks, mind you) of Peter being involved in an incident in the goalmouth at the East End whereby he and an opposing defender simultaneously kicked/blocked the ball and it burst! Never seen it happen before or since. Of course, it may never have happened and I’ve just dreamt it. Anyone?

I think you are correct it's something i remember as well

Sell Scott means we can keep Conway, bell, and aymon unless silly money comes in,

It also means we can strengthen a bit more as well as secure the club finances for the next 4 or 5 years

Have you told the Lansdowns that !

Didn’t build on it though did we and thats the frustration. All before FFP was a thing we could have really built on that 07/08 season but Lansdown true to form dithered and dithered and all momentum was lost.

Poor football decision after poor football decision was made (appointing Keith ******* Millen in the process) and we slowly declined back to League 1 over the following 5 years.

For all the good he has done for the infrastructure of the club in recent years the buck stops with Steve Lansdown and his horrendous mis-management of the footballing side of the club. 
 

It’s been done to death on this forum over the years anyway, I’m tired of taking about it to be honest. The usual lot will pipe up about being ‘careful what you wish for’ but I couldn’t give a toss now I’m happy to take a gamble on new ownership. Just sell the club Steve, please.

Biggest problem is getting someone to buy Bristol sports .

Yes, was working at the Gate and saw Galley running the line on the five a side pitch on the car park behind the "Grand Stand" with a bib in hand and foot in a plaster cast. He played on the Saturday. 

Was it his debut and did he notch a couple or even an hat trick?

A hat trick

You are not the first to make such a statement on this thread ,

 

But where is this ‘worked so hard for the club’ come from - based on ?

Are you / others suggesting that he worked harder than the (or any of the) other head coaches and managers we’ve had ?

I’ve seen what several others did before him , and if he got anywhere close I’d be surprised 

 

He was supported far more by the hierarchy , than anyone has previously , that is for sure

 

* As for bullshit I give you ‘Bomb alley’ as one simple example

 

 

Some things never change

Alexander was definitely sent off at least twice against us at AG.

Handball on the line, Tinnion scored the penalty (his first ever goal for us) the year they went down.

He was also sent off for stamping on Smith when he was on the floor.

Probably was a third, Alexander’s whole game was based on kicking his opponent, terrible, dirty player.

Thanks

Remember that as well, stonewall penalty.

Can remember him playing against the rovers I think the full back was alexander correct me if I am wrong he went past him as if he wasn't there and got sent off for chopping him down, I think this happened more than once, memory starting to go but he was a hard man to get near.

I’ve said a few times, Massengo has to be moved on asap and that hopefully frees up some money to bring a couple in.

The kid isn’t chomping at the bit to sign and that’s his prerogative all day long but it’s also no good to us.

Agree but to who?

Dead right, Mac Boyd sounds like a Scottish gangster 

damm good keeper though

Without doubt one of the very best. Fearless diving at opponents forwards feet to get the ball. Too brave for his own good sometimes but a safe pair of hands , at a time when keepers actually caught the ball. 

No. 1

I don’t think SOD didn’t think Flint was a good player or was worth signing, it was more how much of his small budget it would take up.

Didn't SOD say he wasn't worth the transfer fee?

during the winter months

Cop26 is all blah blah blah

If games kicked off at 1pm,would not object to midday kick offs

then their would no need to use the floodlights and the return car journeys would be in mostly  safer daylight hours.

Great idea cant see why it's  not been suggested before.

He's played a handful of games in a year and a half. Doesn't seem successful to me. That's not to write him off, but we've had very little returns from him so far.

Maybe the guy needs a little bit of luck to go his way, sure we have a good player lets all wish him well in getting fit.
