Wales' World Cup is now all about beating England. I hope we do em over and don't rest players (assuming the game later goes to plan!)

There's playing out from the back and there's this

 

Keeper will be gutted as it must go down as an own goal?

So difficult but here goes. In no particular order... 

The Who - Quadrophenia

The Jam - Setting Sons*

Jeff Wayne - War of the Worlds

The The - Infected

Green Day - American Idiot

* unless I can cheat and have Direction Reaction Creation (the box set with all the albums!)

Patterson got boo’ed

And then applauded our fans when he went to take a corner. Our fans simply applauded back. Very respectful.

When he does eventually go I guarantee one headline will read "Jur  Gone, Kloop".

Other than when the ball hits them and affects possession , they are ‘part of the pitch’

 

As they're "part of the pitch" can a player hit them out of frustration say when missing a goal? You can thump the ground to vent, so presumably you can do this to any part of the pitch?

My third favourite player- seriously under used by GJ.

Amazing going forward when we had the ball but a liability when we didn't. His off the field antics didn't help his case either. And I was told that by GJ himself.

Apparently when he was at Palace he made the point that all drink and food inside the ground was cheaper than anything around the ground.

I bet it wasn't cheaper than the Sainsbury's which shares the same site?!

Although I get what he was trying to do.

From a different planet!

Jesus! They’re coming for us

Christ... you'd think they'd have had a bit of a tidy before making the video. 

Is that a BBQ by the entrance - or their catering dept? Bought as a job lot with their tents perhaps?

With the sun going down last night. I thought the pitch area looked really dark from the Dolman in the first half.

This would have made the contrast of the signs look brighter.

People starting threads with a statement and then saying "thoughts". Tell us what you bloody think first before asking others!

Lovely goal. But at 6 nil down in the 84th munute, I doubt the opposition were putting any real effort in.

I don't like it and now stopped joining in as its now to frequent . I always feel the game is carrying on so people could be clapping as we concede a goal. 

And yet with all the tributes we've had, I can't think of one time the opposition has scored during the sixty seconds.

Edit: Thinking about it, perhaps we should clap all game to keep a clean sheet!?

I remember the last time we went to M.K. Dons. Sound was loud, sharp and crystal clear. It can be done, so why can't we do it ?

The cost, I'd suggest.

Amazing goal.

I wonder if the failed attempt by the defender to head it back to the keeper gave him the idea to do it?

For those that complain about our 'merch' it could be worse, what a grotesque garment (must've been a father's day 'gift', you surely would not purchase such a monstrosity yourself?)

I wish I hadn't now but look what I found...

Sad, isn't it. Quite common, I think. 

I've got a Bristol Pubs poster from mid 90s, some great pubs on there now sadly gone.

My friend Alan, I used to work with, seemed to know every pub in Bristol. Anytime you'd mention an area of Bristol or a specific street, he'd regale some story about his visit to a pub there…

 

In the world before sat-navs, pubs and football pitches were my map of Bristol. Could get almost anywhere using these for guidance.

Ah. That they won’t tell you. Because otherwise you might decide it’s worth holding out… they want you to think it’ll rise a ridiculous amount and buy one now. 

I've just found the answer. Website updated today says a rise of between £15 and £20.

but they can do that now! so why put the price up?

 

For all the reasons given in the thread. But as a side question, what do the prices rise to post 1 June when the 'advanced price' is removed? I can't find that anywhere on the website.

There's some great ideas on here, particularly the yellow cards for hounding/swearing at the ref - works well in rugby (and you can question decisions, if you are captain - and ask nicely). Similarly, the egg chasers have a rule about moving the kick if someone mouths off - great idea.

VAR is in theory a good idea, but unlike rugby, cricket, etc. it isn't incorporated into the game. They make it part of the spectacle; do the same for football. Show what the VAR officials can see - every ground has a big screen now.

Works in rugby as the captains tend to be closer to the ref when the decision is made. Not the same in football. Depending where the incident takes place, we could have defenders and goal keepers having to run half the length of the field (or more) to speak nicely to the ref.
