I can only think it might be ''shut up and **** off'' How awfully rude?

Go for a walk Stop agonising over Steve Get a dog / life.

'Seriously overrated' Honestly mate take a break from football, yes he misses a few as all strikers do, but knowing some OTIB's summaries on strikers Antoine was a duffer too. He is still learning and most players don't peak until mid 20's.

Your really hurtin' poppet x Top of the performance league too, is that dog shit too?

And another 'lest we forget'

Yea let's all remember shall we?

Good end to the season, so glad I stuck to my guns with Manning in not calling for his head. OK it's Rotherham but you can only beat etc.....We have parity now with 17 wins 17 defeats and a plus goals, springboard for next season, well done all.

Who?

I always had the impression he was like dealing with a Volcano that could erupt at any moment. Things are more relaxed and convivial now whilst still having that drive. 'Trying' to get behind Manning sums my thoughts up, should be not be just 'trying' really, he has proved his worth, get behind the City

You can, good for you.

But I honestly thought that was your job, what are you saying.... he has his own statman?

Entirely.

Irony

Isn't it? A Bristol trait, I think it very much is Dave, maybe we don't have the right stuff in our DNA to be a Prem team too affluent some say, or a Rugby City that is not the working man's life style that fashioned Manchester Leeds Glasgow etc, we did have a bit of that in the past, but matchday is like a family day out with the kids now, no passion, craft beers and fine dining. Of course we can critique, but you are a decent likeable bloke and I am sure all this childish name calling must grind your gears. You see it sets the whole tone on OTIB and if you are not on that bandwagon you must be a happy clapper or worse, and in my case much worse.

I don't have any mates, I live in a small village in the Cotswolds. TD?

No, I see it as a whole really. I respect all the club players ,staff, management, and owners, and I can see no reason why any one of those at this time deserve condemnation. It's the only way forward, if you want to go in that direction, otherwise get off the bus.

It might improve your grammar.

I don't really have the time or the inclination really to micro examine everything backstage that goes on at the club, the club politics are for others to inspect, my motivation as it has been for many decades is the team on a Saturday or whenever to win hopefully and if we don't perhaps the Rovers will as the old Bristol saying went. I don't really care who the manager is or was, be it Fred Ford Alan Dicks, or the current MANning, I am blindly crazy still about this club, life would have been a lot easier if Dad and his Dad never took me to the Gate, but hey that's me. Like I said a bit of crazy unwarranted (perhaps) support for the club might be the missing piece in the puzzle but that is not a realistic Bristol trait really.

Tins, Manning and all and sundry that might not always fit the vision of the well versed on here with all things football. Lets face it we have a wealth of members on here that simply know better than those that are paid professionals at the club and can prove it by an endless stream of spread sheets pie charts and whatever to back it up. As said, I understand football fans by nature are opinionated and full of shit if you will, but the constant name calling and quite honestly unjustified personal ,yes snide remarks is becoming the main feature on here and quite frankly it's dull and boring, just now quoting a Tins signing all those years ago as crap. I enjoy debating, and I do on other sites, but I hate bullying, yes I might have a poke with the groupies comment etc but that is not really insulting, just a dig. As I said this cynical Bristol thing is very much a reality, if you need a reason why this club has not played in the Prem well this I am sure is a factor, a sprinkling of blind support as seen with Luton, Palace Forest all clubs much the same as us in size have it in spades. It seems on here being a loyal City fan is very much ridiculed. Finally, currently I feel happy with the club than I have for a few years, including the Pearson reign, I did find him oppressive and not at all engaging, and this I am sure is why he was sacked, by us and others.

Sick of all the snidey posts tbh, just like a bunch of old 'wimmin' sticking in the boot when patently there is no justification at all, it says OTIB on the tin and yet some /most seem to delight in undermining this club and what it is obviously striding for. Is it a Bristol malaise that has to constantly attack individuals? The very people who have the best interests for Bristol City, I know football fans are fickle by nature but this forum currently is demonstrating a dislike for the club and most certainly the people who are employed by the club. Dare anyone actually call out these posts they are quickly dealt with by a follow up of :laugh:'s or face palms....or even memes demonstrating to me they have lost the argument and resort to basic trolling. This forum must be food and drink to the other lot, FFS show a bit of support.

Why this? It was a good shout....gives a whole new beginning and a closure to the Pearson wonderful years.

Give it a rest a lot of water under that bridge, Tinnion must be front and centre in everyone's thoughts on here to continually slag off. God how I dislike internet bullies, IF he was in the same room as him you would be fawning all over Tinman wouldn't you? There was the 3 Lions debacle when it was then to voice any points to the ensemble and not even a titter, the keyboards are so much safer eh?

Nige...please if only to shut the groupies up!!

Agreed it's a huge irony that some label HIM the snake.

Nearer the truth then some might feel a tad uncomfortable with.
