REDOXO

It was a Rugby tackle on Bell. It was a red card event and the referee bottled it. The only discussion is was it in or out of the penalty area. In my opinion the foul started outside the box and continued into it….. However as Pearson says, we don’t get penalty’s and it’s pointless constantly pointing out, but this was worse, a clear opportunity denied by a player hurling himself at the player who got behind him showing the defender a clean pair of heels.

Exactly. I’m as pissed off about the last few days as the next girl, but we are yet again lurching to the end of a season with a big sick list. Our u21s will be massively important in the summer. I read some stuff and think most on here didn’t give ConwAy or Bell a second thought in July. The season before was Scott and Benerous. Nevertheless we need to have a more physical presence that’s for sure!

We are pretty but almost always eventually go long after a lot of tip tap. The issue is our longer balls tonight in particular were short or wayward. However we are not far off. We have to sort out our CBs have a ball winner or two in the middle and improve our shooting all over the pitch.

@BigTone please condense!

Did it finish 1/1

Does Pearson want another contract? Anyone asked him? If he is open to a two year extension on the one he has left then I expect conversations, even if they were only in the tea room have already started Despite the few who were screaming for his dismissal a while back waiting to pounce again with the slightest excuse, I would say this guy has turned us around from a basket case club to a team that’s only a goal scoring midfielder and a CB that has not got a sick note stamped on his track suit away from being top six material…Which was he’s remit. I fully expect us to be in and around the top six next season as does the manager, the players and the board. Just thinking back at the dross, hangers on and down right wasters he inherited (did anyone go onto do anything when their contracts expired) Then look at the change in Vyner the bringing through of Scott Bell ConwAy Benerous the purchases of Atkinson Naismith et al, to me Pearson has changed the culture of a weak, limp club that makes awful decisions repeatedly to a club that is only a couple of signings away from being a force. If he’s open to an extension then negotiate it now and get it done would be my position

Love Colin. He mentions us all the time. I would like to know how many times he applied! Managers I’m glad we never had include McIness Lee Johnson Tiny Penis & Roy Hodgson Oh wait a minute!

Yep definitely best.

Brilliant

Max is a good goalkeeper! I agree with anyone who says we/he needs real competition. They are spot on. However part of the issue is, as today and away at PNE for example, that we haven’t been good enough or quick enough to close down a shooter from outside the box. An issue OLeary himself points out almost every game. Having Kalas and Atkinson out doesn’t help, but we are not great at blocking with them playing as well and to be fair it’s not just the job of Center Backs to get in front of the bloke lining one up!

I guess it will depend how early they know they are safe. (If that’s the case) I also guess we are going to see one way or another.

My mates are Rangers season ticket holders. They wanted me to come to an end of season Beano. Now not so much. I may still go, but if they need something I will be the one City fan not wanting to! :laugh:!

If there is a chance we could relegate them we will sell out a thousand no problem!

Gerry Gow was the hardest player Bobby Gould ever played with!

James Tavernier is from Bradford too!

?? what I heard!

I reckon that Alex Scott is on borrowed time!

City have already been advised it is unlikely they will get the bottom tier. And won’t if there is anything on it! so either they are going to sell it to the home fans or not sell it at all!

Batty at Leeds was a nasty bastard. But he just joined a long line of filthy buggers. Norman RIP excepted of course.

He said it sometime ago ref King. In today’s interview he referred to King as staff as well as a player. From Pearson’s comments today we are looking for at least one Center Back (Kalas I reckon is less than 50/50 to be offered a new contract as his injury record since Pearson has been iffy) But a goal scoring midfielder seems to be high on the list. The wildcard is do we have players already at the club coming through that may step up. Such as Lowe and Idehen etc. He didn’t seem that worried about another forward and I don’t blame him….it’s on the match day thread if you haven’t heard/seen it. A good listen, very thoughtful and he is much more sedate compared to how he was with journalists. I certainly think people see what we are achieving and thus it’s not so combative!

Pearson said that Andy King could one day manage the club. I’ll be amazed if he leaves, it’s just about a job that suits all party’s

Ok that makes sense and fits with what I have read. Someone told me on here yesterday it was cancelled so I spent an hour looking for the announcement. Nothing of course. I should know better I guess!

Ok I’m completely confused. Is the U20 World Cup on? And if so where? Thanks in advance

Personally I couldn’t care less about the subject of songs, some of which have been around for 50 years. But brushing over that life has changed a bit, I would say the players need the encouragement and singing gets the crowd going too even if it’s Hymns. Maybe Jerusalem builded here in Bristol’s dark satanic mills. Etc etc Point is make an atmosphere and keep going, songs about Irene and her Gypsy mates are a bit old hat and don’t really make an atmosphere just remind us of why Horefield got its name!

Interesting that. I was in a Bath hotel frequented by a couple of scouts from Southampton for The Hull and Man City games. However I can not even imagine Scott going back there under any circumstances. Pring maybe.
