  1. I thought the ref was decent. The offside was odd (was it his fault?), but he was at least trying to allow a game of football to be played, and generally succeeded.
  2. Finally a game of football this season to really enjoy. City had a go, even at the end were chasing the win. Had enough opportunities to win at that. Just keep playing like that. That's all we can ask. Do that a results take care of themselves.
  3. Never seen an offside take so long tbh Was weird
  4. Guys...... Stop. Just block eachother ffs, better things to do in life
  5. Boring comes to mind Been that way for a while now. I was hoping post summer we'd see a spark, things worked on over a summer. So far it's just win or lose. How often in the last ........ Years have you said, wow what a game that was. Not close to often enough. Wolves and top at xmas were the last real have a go team. Scott was the spark...... The way too early opinion in the season is it's all well and good improving the side (it has) but you need magic that delivers more often than not. We have many good players now. But creativity? I'm still to be convinced. I'm all for fighting for the right to play, but you have to play. 4 points 3 games...... Meh football Here's to the next 43 and some inspired team football along the way.
  6. I always say "i could try and tell you about malaga but you'd never understand" it's a place you have to experience. And August feria, well that's something else another level entirely. Benalmedia harbour is also quite something special eh. With the Gib negotiationa, a lot depends on who the next Spanish government is. Living in Spain, i sometimes forget about the 90 day rule and other aspects of brexit(I live under grandfather rules for now) But yours is a harsh reminder i need to investigate stuff when i comes to buying my own house in a few years. P.s do you find it easy to adjust to Gibraltar life when you go? It's one of those places with a life and set of rules of it's own . It's British with a twist, a cool place to spend time with so much to learn.
  7. Just to sweeten the deal, their away kit is purple and lime (official city colours) My advice; don't hope, just do it. Malaga city is wonderful, the whole coastline is pretty epic at that.
  8. In malaga at the mo. Seen malaga shirts everywhere (more than normal. (Having at least 3 club shops probably helps a lot) But also lots of bilbao, lots of sociaded. And of course, the international shirts from most of europe
  9. And here... Where nobody who maybe should be actively pays any attention. (their words) ???
  10. Seen worse opening days (much worse) Seen better Even so, performance wise, very poor. One of those, what exactly have you been working on in the sunmer going forward? Loooong way to go (could even win this game, still 5 mins left) but performance wise expected more than 2 shots on target (91st min,) and not much else by way off attacking threat.
  11. Well i have the audio , but it's 0.5 seconds ahead of the action. So I always know what's going to happen, just before it does
  12. The fixtures themselves are already up. I've not paid enough to Portuguese ko times to know when the actual ko is announced The weekend games go from Friday night to Monday night. The first weekend timings are still tbc I was torn between Sporting v benfica nov 12 Or Sports v porto dec 16 I went with the second as also includes xmas time
  13. It's a pain and really makes you appreciate how English fixtures are done.It is the hardest thing about going to games in some other countries Need to book Friday (early) to Tuesday, to be absolutely sure of getting the game. Im spain, they decide fixture times 2 weeks before. Pretty sure when i went to Milan derby it was 2 weeks, as i booked flights 1 month before with no idea when game was. I'm planning to go to sporting v porto in December, as part of a Lisbon trip. If the game is Monday, no football for me. In short, if you can Friday early til Tuesday. It's the only way you can be absolutely sure you'll be safe with your flights.
  14. It might not be impossible. And as your coming from there, tickets in the home end could be an option for you
  15. There's flying under the radar and there's this.
  16. I can and will remove you from multiple WhatsApp groups ?
  17. 40,000 plus a mini bus driver who lives here. ?️
  18. This year i watched it all for the first time. Wow What a show. It's just so so funny. Somehow it's considered one of the best ever, yet slightly underappreciated? Kramer is my favourite character. However all of them are interesting and well built. True genius of a show about nothing? ........

  19. Just finished listening to last night's show. What a show that was. In 1993 i was 9, my football memories only still fully hold around then. Geoff has been THE voice ever since. I mean, my voice of Bristol football, and one of the voices of football full stop has just retired. End of an era. We were so lucky to have such a man as the heart of football.
  20. My bad, i confess i heard it on the radio when first woke up. And seemed to be suggesting punched him. But seems perhaps that's not what actually happened.
  21. Jim white just stirring the pot as he sometimes loves to do. Of course there was going to be a pitch invasion if they won last night. Just like there was at city after Rotherham, Hartlepool, and Palace. They are joyful, they are well intended, they are beautiful memories, and add to the occasion. however there is a line. 1st round of the league trophy against your rivals... Well just no. And of course as a general principal rule fans shouldn't go on the pitch in 99% of games. But the last home game, with your season on the line. If you win it's part of the occasion. However, part of that deal is .. you let opposition players get off the pitch , and you leave the officials alone; the guy who did that last night =***banned for life*** (edit: I may have gone to far for what really happened) .... Ps. Do you remember city v palace at the end, fans were literally on the touchline waiting for the whistle; that's how special it was. I also remember Watson walking through the crowd generally being left along never in danger.
  22. Playoff mix, like a real challenge. It's not enough to make small progress, year on year.. to then be broken up by the big clubs buying power in a few years; healthier bank balance, square one on the pitch isn't why you watch football. (Plus before you know it , hola relegation battle) Promotion is not the be all and end all. But to be a successful season, go into is game 42-43 knowing if you win those last 3 or 4, you're top 6.
  23. I went to the coppa Italia derby last uear (0-0) Quite simply , go What an experience, what a place
