Crackers Corner

Is it where it is territorial Advantage so in the ball was Derby's half?

Odowda switching sides during half has given derby nightmares, we need to keep our heads this half as derby will be looking for a red

How is it Thier player could blast the ball away after it had gone out but no booking?

Far too slow at the back

2 silly yellows

I wouldnt say outplayed for 45 mins we had a good 10 mins at the end of the half (you dont work for Sky do you ?)

Was going to say the same, stoke seem very slow at the back, impressed with scott and odowda,. Bakinson was way off the pace but pearson spoke to him and he looked a different player.

Would maybe liked to have seen Wells in for Martin at least but maybe we’ve got that for last 30 if we’re still in the game. 

I thought martin looked decent Saturday but wells does need a run of games

Very harsh red card for Birmingham

Not there today. Blackburn Manager spoke of our physicality and directness. That true?! Cant believe we dominated physically, and reading of how we played it sounded like we passed it quite well rather than the usual lumpball??!!

Blackburn were a physical team too but we matched them well and it felt like 2 teams up for the game. Our shape was much better but we do need to work on diagonal forward passes played into space by opposition as we seem to really struggle and teams have sussed this week in week out.

Good shout! It was bloody nailed on. I was right in line with it and the defender virtually caught the ball on the ground. Blind side of the ref though so I can see why he didn`t/couldn`t give it.

One of those where VAR (spit) would have given it for sure.

I was in s23 and looked nailed to me too

COD looked better and defended well too, I thought we had a good shout for a penalty for handball in 1st half

You are exempt if you earn £26k pa or less, so it isn't the poorest it will hit but some middle-income motorists who have little choice but to regularly drive through the zone will undoubtedly feel the pinch?

Anyone know where the revenue from the charges is going?  I expect Serco or whoever is implementing the enforcement will take a huge bite, but is the rest kept by BCC or hoovered up by national government.

If the revenue went at improving the Bristol public transport network - more routes, more times etc - it would be something I suppose.

I'm still against these sort of schemes though. They just don't seem to work. 

Reading this it suggests that you need to send proof that you earn less than 26k which seems very intrusive and not really something that should be any of BCCs business? So if you are a couple earning 25k each you are better off than a couple earning 26 k each, I can imagine lots of people changing car ownership titles to get around this.

Whist im sure everyone wants clean air not everyone can afford to go green. Im fortunate to have an ev on order (id3) from my company but would never afford one otherwise.  This seems to be about punishing the poorest whist the wealthy wont care about the extra charge.

I can see petrol and diesals being taxed into oblivion unless you have money to burn long before the 2030 ban on non hybrid/ev cars.

Wow 6 months ago it was 6500, more than twice 9.11 how is this still going ahead?

That’s without mentioning the thousands of migrants that have died in construction there and all the migrants that have had their passports taken of them so they can’t just go home .
