Mad Cyril

When I was a lad and tried the shuffle, my PE teacher used to go bananas. I had to pull my shorts back up and get on with the game.

Fair play to the chap in the red and white wife beater shirt directly in front.... he already has his 501's down to half mast and is about to initiate some furious self-abuse...

If it weren't for goals in added time, we would never have enjoyed THAT Smith goal....

There is a reason that (fact incoming) since 2018/19, of all the 31 leagues in Europe, Bristol City have been awarded less penalties than any other club. I just need to work out what that reason is. I do know it hacks me right off though...

I truly don't get this thing about mocking players and managers who delivered better times for us than we have now. Flint, Pack, Reid, Bryan, Johnson. And so on. They absolutely don't hate us, they don't deny the good times we had.... what pleasure is there in ridiculing them now?

After that performance, I'd give him one.

His marking for their first goal was frankly embarrassing.

For the love of God, NO!!!! This makes smashing up toilets a minor crime by comparison. Sickos.

Bit of a sweeping generalisation? Most of their fan base have called out the few idiots who did this. Similarly, it only takes an idiot or two to throw a coke bottle at an opposition player. Doesn't mean all Bristol City fans are mindless thugs.

All the frustration with repeating/pronged injuries across so many players.... makes it all the more remarkable the number of games Old Man Martin plays.

@Port Said Red congratulations! You have won OTIB and the Internet. Take a bow sir.

So here it is.... since the start of the 2018/19 season, across 31 leagues in Europe, no team has been awarded less penalties than BCFC. That's the worst count among 600 professional teams. Incredible. Incredibly bad.

Liam Rosenior won us a trophy. What has Rooney ever won? Er... oh hang on...

Was that Alessandro Del Injury, the midfield enforcer? Nasty piece of work he was.

This has made me realise just how much of my life has been taken up trawling through the various insight or drivel posted on these pages over many many years. The rest of my time I have just wasted.

From 4 up ....to hanging on at 3-4 with 5 minutes to play. For consistency, it seems the u23s are coached in the same system as the 1st xi...

To be fair, we would have ruined him far sooner if he had come to us.

Me too. I have had to stop eating currys

Until he gets Christian Ribeiro back in the match day squad, I remain unconvinced.

If they were playing against us, I would be worried when Semenyo had the ball near our box, but calm as you like when Martin did...

Bit early to be comparing him to Rooney.....

Don't give them the attention and dislike they crave. As for Afobe... played well, would have him ahead of Martin in a flash. Well done the South Stand for applauding his moment and well done the fans round the tunnel clapping him off after the game. Would sooner be known as a decent club than a Millwall, 100%.

Signing for Cardiff. Straight Career ban.

Anyone else disappointed he didn't save the penalty?

100%. Martin offers nothing and we forget how to pass or run with the ball when he is on the pitch. It was the same a few years back when Diedhiou came back and we stopped playing football. Give me pace all day long.
