I need a bit of certainty when games are going to be played, to accommodate schedules etc. Same for me. Bloody hell. Saturday football at 3 o clock please

If they get another 20 odd runs here, it might be competitive

Why is Stokes not able to bowl this series? I thought the operation was to enable him to bowl?

@Monkeh is anything happening now with the Portishead line? Ive heard a new business case has to be approved. Apologies for tagging you, but you seem to be involved in some way.

Thats a bit hand wringing for me sorry. If they are mismanaged then so be it. No club has any divine right to exist in the commercial world of football - and any club that employs someone like Joey Barton deserves all they get. It’s not even like we play regular derbies anymore - there is zero interest for us apart from the comedy. Id love regular, passionate derbies but thats not happened for years. They are irrelevant to be honest. Anybody under 35/40 scratches their head at our “rivalry”. You have to be close to, or thinking about early retirement to have any real memory of genuine rivalry. If they went out of existence the football world would not bat an eyelid in the grand scheme of things. It would be 5 minutes on BBC news showing pictures of IKEA. We’d all miss the piss taking but that would be about it. You hardly see their kits around Bristol now - apart from a few poor kids given it to them by their Gramps. Poor bastards. Extinction is part of evolution and it will come for them sooner rather than later unless they sort themselves out.

I suspect this will divide opinion. For my generation they are largely an irrelevance - just something to take the piss out of and lets face it there is plenty of material. However, i suspect you will get very short shrift from the generation above me, who lived and breathed 1982 when they tried to strangle us out of existence.

Seems a bit risky to me tbh. As you say, if Wood breaks down we are in trouble. Id rather another seamer and rely on Root for more spin

Strange that isnt it? Considering the sport has been very popular in China for more than a decade, and we have only seen a few Chinese players break through. Apparently 50M players pick up a cue in China.

Whats the point of the corner stand? None of it looks even structurally safe tbh.

Snooker will shrivel away when Ronnie retires. He is up there with the most talented sportsmen, in his field. I know Snooker is very much minority, but the talent he has is ridiculous. He is miles better than the next best, when he is on it.

Mother's who run, with their sporty prams. Its okay - ill just jump into the road/dirt and get out of your way. Also runners who appear out of nowhere and run over pedestrian crossings. Maybe slow down so we can see you?

Harlow is an absolute shithole

But that's the point though isn't it? If you take a macro-view, the events of the last few months are entirely normal for Bristol City. Say one thing, do another - Top 6 squad. No more spending. Don't like loans. It been a constant flip flop for years in fact the flip-flopping is the only thing that's been consistent. As for holding them "to account" - this is an internet forum not the boardroom in AG.

I have no problem with discussion, but repeating, over and over again is pointless - particularly across multiple threads. We are in a good place at the moment. Focus on the positives. We all know our Leadership team is not consistent in their approach, but that's nothing new. Its been like that for years.

You make it sound like we have leverage. Not only would we make ourselves weaker on the pitch, we would lessen the value of one of our biggest assets. It makes no sporting, or commercial sense.

The beautiful game

What a great 24 hrs

Oh dear All those trips to Liverpool cancelled

Hehehe. Its always the hope that kills them.

Id rather play Forest. Another big game under the lights, and we will be more up for it than against Blackpool. Prices are ridiculous !

Yes - i agree, but only Roverz would have an outlet called the Jerk king team. Classic

Meanwhile, just two weeks ago he was worth a few hundred grand.

On this particular point, which get raised over and over : How many years of thanks do you give Lansdown for the Stadium? 10, 20? After how many years are you allowed to criticize other decision making?

Surely the answer is to load up ST cards with the game. That would solve it. It was absolute carnage getting in last night
