REDOXO

Ok so going to the following season JETs contract expired and he went back to London. Cunningham was pissed off and was sold and Elliot retired. I guess fairly natural attrition under the circumstances arguably. We did very little to bolster the players that were not gone immediately which was most of the team and struggled. Remind me was that when we bought Kodjia. Again seven years is a long time at 60. Gayle and Grey didn’t come and I remember being in the hostility suit at Reading pointing out to Mrs D we were in the bottom three. I’ll always remember her saying ‘we know where we are’. :laugh:. I guess after SC and the appointment of LJ the squad were dismantled as we appeared to find gob loads of cash that SC wasn’t given and the promotion squad by and large were not thought good enough by the new incumbent. Is that a fair summary or am I way off?

:laugh:! The board of Bristol City in a being crap shocker!

How is Bajic doing in the U21s? there will be a couple of switches I reckon. Joe Low and Bell possibly Andy King getting a start, but I don’t see in my Crystal Ball beyond anything that hasn’t been in the match day squad recently. This is a money spinning game if we get the right draw and may make a difference to spending in the future. SL will want to win it!

I was on the open end that day. Kinda might explain it!

Was it? I seem to remember that SL fell out with SC they got into an argument over Gayle and Grey and the promotion team were not reinforced sufficiently. Even the leg end that was Sack Cloth kicked us back. But I’m old now memory might be faulty!

I always liked to watch Reims V Nancy

Yes. More or less the way I saw it. The referee will never get a public rebuke and his performance will never be put on trial with that of the players. What bothers me is we know the standard of refereeing is as poor as it’s ever been, but we are unable to take advantage and instead play the bloody victim every week. The attitude of the club, players and supporters has to change. Take a leaf out of the Leeds United book and intimidate the bloke from the moment he arrives. The loss of the East End has made us the nice little club Pearson accused out of last week.

We are playing players that would not have had a cat in hells chance of playing under other regimes. The reason being we have issues with remaining within the rules because the board of directors gave huge Gobs of money to a bloke who had no track record to spend it. The players we looked at including those That now play in the premier league that were deemed not good enough is soul destroying. I feel it on match day more than most some might say, but when it’s done it’s pretty obvious we have spent no money in the closed season and are trying to create something Dicks like out of the only place we can spend money, the academy.

Wasn’t expecting that line up. But hey, right now I like it. Ask me at 5pm!

Yes he hit that well didn’t he. You knew he was going to hit it as he made the little stutter steps. Tomlin hit a ball really neatly and with power, pity about that penalty. I believe there was a dressing room melt down at the end of the game.

Wales is part of the United Kingdom, which is a fully independent sovereign state. But, the 'United Kingdom' is made up of a political union between four nations, England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland, that are countries in their own right and have varying degrees of autonomy. The clue is United Kingdom. For the record Wales is a Principality but Scotland is a Kingdom both in there own right. The Channel Islands come under the Home Secretary but have their own parliaments as does the Isle of Man Arguing country status one way or the other is a bit academic to those of us that don’t care, however robust independence movements suggest , like myself, that people are English etc before they are British. In fact the only people I know that call themselves British before anything else are immigrants (like Mrs Oxo) who don’t have a country affiliation

Fixed!

We won the Anglo Scottish Cup too. (And the JPT/Freight Rover) Was there for that one and the players carrying the cup around afterwards. My old man didn’t really want to go, but I said it might be our only ever Chance to see us win a trophy. ? I guess I was very nearly right!

I was at both games. Which makes us all gentlemen of a certain age range. I was sat , luckily for me in the Dolman right in line with Jimmy’s hit. Screamer with no doubt and probably the best strike seen at AG. I saw a recording was found. The two goals are very comparable of course, but Radford was running on to a knock back. If I remember Jimmy had the ball at his feet before he hit it. Not that makes a difference. I’ll call it a tie for the cleanliness of the strike as I don’t think Jimmys was better nor worse. The Saturday after Portsmouth we played Notts County if memory serves. What I remember is losing and running on the pitch. It also struck me that there was a lot more terrace space compared to the Portsmouth game and have no recollection of their goal!

Bless. Has Robbored increased the dosage? Joking apart I have said many times I like Ian’s passion. I know he takes it hard and personal. However I think somebody/others reigning him in improves the show. Yeah I know. Just brush over it Dave!

There never was or never will be ever a strike as clean as that!! Top bloke Ronnie Radford

No one will disagree. But crying about it won’t change it. The solution is to take our opportunities and stop giving away soft touch goals. Pearson alluded to it. Make your own luck and we may get a few more decisions!

57% of a message is delivered by context and what you see and hear. Stats are extremely useful, but deliver little by the way of context and often make false comparisons. Without referring to statistics/Exel/AI in any way. WE hit the woodwork twice, had several good opportunities to score and had the best player by six country mikes in Alex Scott. However crossing, dead ball or otherwise was worse than crap, we got caught under a cross and we’re unable to stop the opposing team from seeing the game out. The tackling at times was industrial and the boy who hit Williams was a clear straight red. We do not get the rub of the green, usually, from refereeing decisions, but you make your own luck which Pearson referred to!

There are a lot of disabled kids in there as we know. I would say that the club gave a warning, which in my book is appropriate to anyone in this section. Particularly as accusations like this may or may not be true. However if the inclination is to use four letter language in the disabled section, the family section or anywhere in the ground there are women, you should probably use some less fruity expletives, gosh darn it! Nevertheless it’s often the parents and not the kids who get upset as kids are far more resilient than given credit for. As a boy who would listen to the Abervan chants, songs about race, getting effing heads kicked in and all out warfare on the terrace I’m not sure that sometimes parents are a bit too quick with getting upset. (I have no knowledge of the circumstances of this thread so have no opinion one way or another here) We could of let Kasey Palmer kiss our wives couldn’t we! :laugh:!

Bristol City 0 is the problem. We have lost our scoring touch. Our balls in are dreadful and dead balls we should just give them a goal effing kick. The three at the back did well except for being under the ball for the cross. I’ll settle later but we are the usual soft touch complaining about officials. News flash is they are pony every week, but if we can’t cross or score it’s bloody irrelevant! Exactly as above

Fixed that for you!

Nah. This forum is way to smart to be bothered by a possibly dead cat!

Soooo Robbored is deaf and blind former mental health worker who may or may not have prescribed drugs for the mentally unstable. A body may or may not have been pulled from the river and Harry and Big Tone may or may not be racists but Pm each other and may or may not be making racial slurs that they both don’t respond to! Yep certainly does seem there was trouble after the game!

Richard Scudamore is the obvious, at least temporary, choice. If he wants it!

Pring showed fight for a place. I love that and it won’t go unnoticed. Many of the others who got on from the start or otherwise need a really good kick in the bollox.
