They play in Tallaght quite a long way out of town, i watched them when they played in Galway a couple of years ago, their fans invaded the pitch when they scored a late winner letting off loads of pyros !!! 

Tallaght is about a 35 min tram ride to outskirts of west Dublin. 

That’s the away one and a very nice shirt, this is the one I was on about.

Just back from Dublin where I watched Bohemian last night. Great ONeill kit with 3 stripes on shoulders and arms of shirt and on shorts. Could have sworn from a distance it was Adidas looked quality looking at those around me wearing it .Guess we are not used to something different on our plates.

Might be wrong but it looks as though the 1st few rows are not under the roof?

Apart from that, very smart. Also smart getting it planned first.

Few hours back from doing a couple of games in Dublin. Shamrock Rovers are well into building their latest stand behind the goal, going to hold around 3k. Permanent structure not pack up and move. Ground capacity bigger than the 6th richest club in England. Oh and Shamrock had planning before they started.

Ever seen that film "Das Boot" about the WW2 U boat. The skipper listens to the radio then announces to the crew "Schalke have lost again".

Watched all 3 series of that on Sky Atlantic also seen Hertha play Schalke on a Friday night. Schalke brought 6k . 10 euro return train tickets . 300 mile journey . What’s not to like

Hertha BSC are a basket case at present, 8 managers in last 4 years and almost 400million euros investment have bought nothing but a slide into Bundesliga 2 , which has been on the cards for the last 3 years. 
i have been there a couple of times in last 3 years and it’s a fantastic club and City but I fear that it may be a couple of years until they bounce back again.

Agree with this although I don't know what Naismith's excuse was cause he was dire!

Naismith been very very hit and miss . Got so much more to live up to than what he has given so far 

Todays game was built up as an Alex Scott tugfest for weeks on social media, Kids only young and the expectations of signing off in  style in what might be his final game at the Gate  in a City shirt obviously got the better of him. He is only human after all 

Gypsies, tramps and gullible rabble. Still be at the Go outdoors in 5 years, canvas rot and tangled guide ropes all over the campsite. Bless

Very good shout that. We were in the same spoons in Newport last season though and there weren’t many other city fans in there, there were no issues or trouble so not sure what their problem was this time. I’m surprised that one in Cardiff didn’t have bouncers on the doors as well.

It did have 2 bouncers,  on both doors majority of us were asked where from, some of us walked in while others were being questioned. Only 8 were from Bristol and they got in no problem by saying they were shopping as they had daughters with them

it was only when we all gathered to leave in our Taxis that bouncers realised how many of us were in there and that we had pulled their pants right down. They were fine about it and off we went. .

Exactly this. Cardiff smashed up the toilets in the ground last season causing thousands of pounds of damage yet still get a free roam of Bristol. Meanwhile we were even denied entry to a Wetherspoons in Newport last weekend who had 2 bouncers on the door from 8am ready for us, luckily another pub was open at 9am that did let us in.

If Avon and Somerset treated the Welsh how we get it off the Heddlu year on year they would be crying their eyes out about it being anti-Welsh xenophobia, and no doubt it would be all over “Wales Online”.

Around 40 of us got into Gatekeeper Wetherspoons on Westgate street from 0900. Chepstow, Caldicot, FOD, Gloucester chaps. Not wrapped up like Bristol trains were. Always an option to get off at Severn Tunnel and get on Train from Birmingham Had a good drink and went mainly unnoticed as we were split over 2 floors on 10 different tables. There is a drink there if you plan ahead and don’t follow the herd.

Not as bad as the songs from the Dolman.

What was wrong with Dolman. Back of E34 started majority of chants , mixture of old and newer songs. 
thought the atmosphere in E34 was good last night and even though Section 82 were going at it all game, you can hardly hear them from E34.

Id much prefer 3 points against Cardiff than win against Man City.

No injuries and a good performance would do me tomorrow.

Said this all along, if and it’s a big if,everything falls into place we could beat Man City. 
For me the Cardiff game is the one I dearly want to win, keep the league run going , keep them in their box and push on towards a possible play off spot. It’s our only proper derby and to the older generation it’s the one we look for when the fixtures come out
