I think that's Plymouth just about safe especially with their GD? Great few days for them including the late equaliser v QPR

My recollection is Carey turned his back and was remonstrating with the ref, rather than the ref talking to him.

As far as I could see Carey was in a world of his own and I didn't see it as an unfair goal. 

My feeling has always been it was thoroughly unprofessional OTT behaviour from Carey and bloody annoying.

Sh*t shirt, sh*t song, sh*t day rounded off by Carey being a  bit of a tit.

 

Shit from Carey, shit from the ref never a foul in 2024 let alone 25 years ago 

I would absolutely bloody love it, very deluded club as to their true size

Less fans than us this season

Is this to put my top 5 or to guess the most popular top five??

Mine is Dickie, O'Leary, Tanner, Vyner, James

Couple of dodgy decisions in the Swansea v Stoke game too but not as obvious.

I think Stroud got that right by the laws as the goalie still had two hands on the ball

Very lucky for Swansea though 

He's been brilliant since last regaining his place in the team, I love his style

If Bentley is good enough for a Prem wage then Max definitely is which yes is a bit worrying because otherwise that's the keeper position sorted for the next half decade or more

I don't quite know what to make of that

In hospitality with a Blackburn fan and I feel sorry for her, they were awful

Dodgy at the back or what

Thought the ref wasn't gonna give that then 

Wow Gabriel got away with what would have been the stupidest penalty conceded ever

On RB after the match, the summariser (haven’t a clue whom he was) said “I just hope that Matt can get it right because we all know that Rovers are a sleeping giant …”. FFS. Sleeping giant my arse. 

7,000 for their first home match against a fairly local rival in 24 years is absolutely ******* terrible

They are screwed,  a slow decline into relegation for the Janners

It's so far down the BBC page I'm surprised anyone knows the score

I grew up in Yate as a child. 

Played for all the Yate Utd boys age groups on the Germans fields. 

My two best friends and neighbours were both Gas.

One of their Dads was manager of Yate Utd boys ( anyone remember Tony the Veg man sponsoring?)

The others Grandfather was manager of the Gas in the 70s. Such a nice man.

I was the only City fan in the street. Dad and Grandad both from St Johns lane. 

It definitely felt like more Gas during the 70s/80s. 

Yate gets a bad undeserved rap. But I had the best childhood there. Played footy all the time. Kingsgate Park and the Woods were my playground. Lots of green space. Plenty of schools, shops, amenities. 

Sodbury really close with all its pubs. 

Plenty of work available. 

M4 and M5 easy to get to. 

Rail network good. 

Lots going for it tbh. Far worse places to live. 

Would rather live there than many parts of built up Bristol. 

Moved away now, but visit every week. 

Totally agree with this. My childhood was fantastic playing football and games with friends everyday, outside constantly from a very young age. Loads of greens right outside the front door. Our parents didn't know where we were within set boundaries and didn't seem to mind as they knew we were safe. We were all also good kids, no drugs, maybe egged the house of the neighbourhood bullyboy once a year.

Times have changed now, I live in a 'nicer' area, Frampton 'the posh part of Yate' so say, but what do the kids do? They aren't out playing. I feel sorry for my son tbh.

Sometimes you think you are safe and that the results needed to create the swing won’t happen.  Some times you think fifty points will see you over the line.  Some times you laugh so hard you have tears that roll down your cheek. 

How did they manage to get relegated with a GD of only -11 , it's worse this season during their promotion chase ffs

Just saw a wow stat on Twitter, only 3 teams in the football league have lost more games than us over the past 5 seasons - no wonder there is apathy and a sigh of relief that we are “safe”. It’s an astounding stat when you consider the basket case clubs in the league currently. 

Who are the three? If I had to guess they would be Stoke, Birmingham and Huddersfield, maybe Reading.

It's not that surprising seeing as we've been bottom half of the same league without getting relegated to an easier league

Growing up in Yate it was always the weirdos who supported Rovers, definitely more City

Managed to get out to Frampton Cotterell but that's the same

"So much for the hyperbolic fears of some regarding relegation a few weeks back."

 

It is easy to be wise after the event, but did many fans honestly expect us to pick up 7 points out of 9 in the past three games? I certainly didn't, if we had only picked up 0 or even 1 or 2 points from those games, we would still need to look over our shoulder.

I totally agree.

We've picked up 10 from 5. 

If we'd continued the form of the previous 5 we would have 3 points , 47 points to lie only 5 points above relegation.

Well done to the management and the team for turning the form around but relegation fears 5 games ago were not 'hyperbolic' 

I don't really understand the overreaction to the Wolves goal not given. It seems a clear case of offside.

The Wolves player was deliberately obstructing the goalkeeper, it wasn't even an accident. If you are gonna do that, stay onside. 

I thought the West Ham goal disallowed in that game for a 'foul' at the back post looked more dubious.

I'm not down with KITR's abuse of Yate and it's residents but Ladden Garden Village is a proper tip, right?

It’s gonna be an interesting summer for sure.

The jury is massively out on Twine too.  I was a huge fan of Twine at £100k compo from Swindon, but not at £2.5-5.0m from Burnley.  And not a good fit for Bristol City in any manifestation of football style we will see next season.  I think he’s a player we’d have to carry to an extent.

At MK Dons you had such a heavy possession side he could flit around the inside left channel knowing he’d get on the ball in good positions and get set-piece opportunities.

At Burnley, another heavy possession team, injury held him back, but he was playing with players who we could only dream about signing.

At Hull, a team that play to attack, patterns that create attacking space, but he didn’t excel there, albeit coming of the left side, rather than central, or inside left.

I don’t think he’s a bad player, far from it, but I don’t think he’s right for us.

And good scouting is about fit more than ability.

I do think Bird is a sensible signing.

What type of player do you think will fit in that position for us?

Seeing another season of workmanlike Knight in that crucial attacking midfield position is not for me and won't give us any of the creativity we have been so desperately missing this season

It's alright lads, that's 10 points from our last 6 games.

 

Is correct but then so is 10 from 5 tbf

Quite impressive to keep a clean sheet without Dickie, more by luck than anything I think though

Still shite going forward, not looking promising for next season with Manning

And that’s the difference between us and Sunderland. 

One team won 2 in a row with very pressure on them

Another team just got spanked 5 , no surprise they are more up for it
