Can honestly say over the years there have been very hard times for the fans - nearly going out of the League,continually not getting the players, not getting the right manager etc..but this level of intrigue and dirty tricks is a new low for me in our club's history. And it's a combination of the owners despotic arrogance and the "new Johnson nepotism". At least Gary gave us 4 glorious years. Maybe that's why the owner is infatuated with Junior?

(Slightly over-the-top?) tribute to Pembo (brought on by guilt?) just appeared on the OS. If I was a cynic I'd say the Club was given a nudge to do this by the fans after the insulting "relieved of duties" sentence the other day.

Further to the debate as to how much Pembo is responsible for our fall, the other factor is that the fall began at the time of Holden's arrival. i can imagine that there might have been been considerable tension between the 2 "assistant" managers. How could that ever work?

Thanks Pembo. Top, top, straight-talking bloke respected by the players, who saved us from relegation and went on to win the double alongside SC. I'll never forget that special, special night you helped to give us at Bradford City. Very best of luck for the future. The fact that Pembo didn't even get a thankyou on the Official Site - just a "relieved of duties" - signifies to me that he must have disagreed so violently with what Johnson was doing on more than one occasion - that he could have saved us once again if LJ had been sacked instead. The whole episode shows what a shower of shite they are. He's best off out of it.

Nah mate. Straight in at left wing

Looked at the clip pf the goal. I thought that way of flipping the ball up at a free kick for a volley had been banned years ago??

And I can take or leave it if I please (Wish I could but been at it too long for it to happen)

stone boots an all

Like the look of that team. Let's hope if and when the subs are needed he does the right things. Keep the buggers out COYRs!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed the Robin shall lie down with the unsuspecting wolf

Quite right sir. Forgot about the Inverness. Tut, Tut.Serves right for being a pedant.

Havanatopia my dear chap, Festive Greetings to you. Splendid potted history/cultural profile/demographic lash-up etc.etc. Personally I hate it when I'm the OP and some pedantic ninny misses the main thrust of my post and goes off down the windmills of their mind being a clever dick but that's just what I'm going to do when someone else has exposed their flank and offer you 2 brotherly words at this Yuletide Festival of Football - Hamilton Academical. SK COYR

Got to disagree with the bad comments about Sheffield. Much prefer it to Leeds who are truly up themselves. By contrast Sheffield is a warm friendly place. My daughter went to Leeds Uni. what made it bearable was going to visit her friends in Sheffield, where she fell in love and has been happy even since. Tra La. Big Tone take note. Just avoid that pub up the hill from the station. The West Riding constabulary love kettling City in that place.

He may be Rovers owner but there's no denying he is gent

A point is enough for both teams. sensible team selection. Wagstaff would be handy second half.

Pembo - bless. he's going for it. Gladwin straight in, Burns, Freeman, Bryan

Very good point mate. He can used as a wise head substitute at the shakey times.

Loved what SC did last season. But I love this as well. COYR

Yes mate. I was there for that one. My son and I totally soaked just walking from the car park to the ground. Amidst all the mud slime rain and filth we ground out that one-nil with a slide -in from 3 metres by Tamas. what a day. Can't be sure it might have been 2 metres or even 1?

It's a strong team. Come on City!

I'm delighted mate. Bobby turned the game on wednesday. and Little will boost our defence

You beautiful JET you

see you in Preston mate

You coming to the Flag day Tommy (Coventry game)?

Pillage them and loot them and do lots of other ghastly things to they
