It still remains odd to me how in Spain, season tickets get you access to men's league (and cup) , woman's, youth, and reserve football as part of the season ticket. 

In believe In 2020 an event in the stadium car park had to be cancelled due to toilets being in Wales 

So the 7 young uns + 4 turned out to have more than a bit of fight about them after all. 

Read a lot about who is blame during this game. 

So I guess it begs the Question, who gets the credit?

Christ Andy! I would ask if you’re a glass half full or half empty kinda guy but your respond would probably be “who cares? I’ll probably spill it anyway!”  

Copied for future use, that's brilliant

Top guy as well, was great for an away day in younger years. 

I really don't mind players giving it back, getting involved with fans. It's all part of the game as far as I'm concerned. That's not the point of this post. 

My question is why? I've never seen a player respond like that before for no apparent reason? 

Was it from a previous game? Did I miss something in today's game? Any clues as to why he reacted like that? 

To me it just didn't make any sense. Normally it's a bit of back and forth, can't think of a time where I've seen a player act to that level just because. 

Did I miss something?

It is listed under clause 17 of city's rules here https://www.bcfc.co.uk/media/64171/agl_2122_covid19_rules-6.pdf as a valid proof of vaccination. That's not to say they know what they're doing at the Gate, and as has been mentioned the passport QR code validation was next to useless against Huddersfield. I'd stick a copy of the pdf on your phone just in case ...

Cool perfect,, thank you

Just show them your tescos Clubcard qr code can’t imagine they will bother looking to closely 

When I do that, and they do care so I get drenched as it's pissing down, I'll be sure to think of you.,

Back from Spain for Christmas, I have my EU vaccination passport.  Will that be sufficient to get my in the stadium?

Or Do I need to tag it to something else? 

I've read the OS, I think it's enough, but not 100%. 

I've attached a screen shot for any expert in the room.

I find him a massive hypocrite.

Mr jordon has a massive spectrum,  in terms of opinións. 

From completely off the mark moron to perfectly reading the room. When it comes to Mr Taylor he is bang on. (well at least for me )

Spot on.

Honest trier who was fondly remembered & signed off his City career with a winning goal at the Mem.

He cost us £30k for ****’s sake, I watched the 4-2 win at Twerton last night, his cross for Agostino’s goal, our third (& what a player he was) was worth that alone.

He was basically my first football winger. I was in awe of his pace.

As a kid  I specifically remember being very upset when leaning, bent, and Newman left.

I enjoyed the win and most of all that we didn't concede in the last few minutes. However it could have been very different if Stoke had taken their chances. We did put in the effort but sat back on the lead yet again. I didn't think we would hold on but we just about sneaked it. 

Maybe this will help the confidence levels which I feel have been a big part of our underperforming, especially at AG. We could play like that again and easily let in 3 if the opposition are a bit more clinical. So certainly still a very long way to go but maybe green shoots, especially with the young players. 

My feelings exactly.  Effort was there, digging in was there . Some of the young ones look the part, like real prospects, big fan of Benarous.

But on another day that's a 1-3, 1-4 game. How we see the effort and tough out is based on chances they should have scored not being taken. And they really should have. The football paradox I guess.  

Most of the 2nd half was just waiting for the gane to end. Its results mode only at the moment, the faster we get them the better.

Why was he talking about us? Link?

It came up on the part about the west country. 

Acknowledged the fact we give him a lot of stick. Come across that he thinks it's all part of the game, no issue with him. 

Thinks, deep down, there is respect there.

Problem Bristol has is it’s public transport is woeful compared to virtually every other major British city with the exception of perhaps Leeds. I took my flatmate to Bristol for the balloon fiesta a couple of years back and their main assessment of Bristol was it badly needs a transport system.

The metrobus thing looks farcical and is like putting a Tesco value plaster over the problem. There have been opportunities like the tram a few years back when BCC didn’t want it going to Cribbs and so another city got the funding instead 

I know it’s a cultural thing in Bristol peoples attachment to their cars but thats probably as much due to the lack of realistic alternative.

When I moved to Madrid, the difference in public transport blew my mind. 

AND CHEAP (even if it has gone up over 10 years) 

55€ for the month: metro, bus, airport access. An absolute bargain. Never mind the fact the system in itself is fantastic. 

Every time I come back to Bristol, the serious b***hing begins alone. 

7.50 for a single from the airport 

Tickets which don't count on conpetitor services. 

And the timetable. I don't need to say more. 

Truly, you don't realise what's possible till you live elsewhere.

I can’t believe anyone here can think that employing Colin is a good idea. He’s a busted flush. His tactics don’t work anymore now that referees punish his teams for booting the opposition 6 feet in the air.

The kids coming through academies these days can’t play the Colin way, they are taught to play with the ball at their feet. He’s a dinosaur.

If he was manager it would make the reaction at Ashton Gate to Tiny P*nis’s reign seem like a vicars tea party. 

We are playing such boring, dull and pointless football, might as well do it on purpose . Then we might do it better. 

While you may be right, I'd be happy just to score a worldie v my cat. 

Emphatically I've always been in the  no camp. Call me ideological but I've always wanted to see city succeed a certain way, playing a certain ways. 

Some clubs it's about results, others it's about the way you play, with City I truly think it's both with an astrix.  What I mean by that is, as I fan base we know we'll lose games, we know they'll be games where its backs against the wall; it's often these games where a stadium comes into its own, but our default expectation is effort with an intent to entertain. 

With this in mind, look at the last 2 seasons and a half. Since the beginning of last season We've not even bothered to have a proper winger who actually goes at full backs in the squad. It's a nonsense. 

The city way

Coterill had this.

Johnson had it in patches, his problem was the spectrum was just so extreme. 

But at some point under Johnson it just fell away, it happens. (wolves was his sliding doors moment) Holden was just dull, and under Pearson, nothing has changed, win or lose its mostly boring with goals being the entertainment. Watching City is a slog and mostly hard work, and living aborad I don't even get the before and after with mates anymore (the hardest thing about living abroad btw) 

2.5 seasons is a long time for the magic in football to be missing. 

My point here is If the football is that unbelievably dull right now, would appointing warnock actually be any worse? AT LEAST WE WOULD BE DULL ON PURPOSE. Maybe just maybe he might just unite the team and the fan base, and sign some quick players out wide on the process. 

I hope Pearson can turn it around, but if we do decide to change direction, would warnock be so so terrible? 

Someone talk some sense into me, as to me right now, he almost seems like the man for this moment. (meanwhile I go look in the mirror, looking at myself in utter shame) 

End of an era, part of the football furniture. The word legend is used too often, he more than deserves it. 

SIR Jeff Stelling if you ask me.

Nige just made that comment on BBCRB 

Ha, I promise I hadn't heard it. 

Will  feel smug when listen to the post 5pm part later tonight

Maybe just for a change, just wanted someone with energy on the pitch who hasn't been mantally scarred. 

Someone for the fans to get behind,someone for the senior players to rally around. A distraction from the nervous energy. 

Concede and its insanity 

Win and it worked; was it down to the sub? Prob not, but it's not like the standard option has worked for the last 18 thousand years
