And who do you think, based on your assessment would take over his contract and pay us what we paid for him?

Well, that's the crux of a wider issue isn't it Rob.

I've got £16.26 in my wallet if that helps

I'll throw in a recent Premium Bonds win (£25), and a book of Green Shield stamps (full!).

Can Dave Fevs or Mr Pops confirm what fraction of a Tillson that will secure us?.

In the meantime, watch out SL. The takeover looks imminent!!

The answer appears to be almost nothing.

Get used to us having to maximise what we currently have, unless someone is foolish enough to take Palmer, O’Dowda or Wells off our hands.

Quite right Graham. Until we can offload some expensive under achievers we're quite limited in terms of reshaping the squad, never mind developing it to the standard needed to challenge at the top.

Should SL have literally bought us out of the Championship earlier in his tenure, pre FFP etc????.....

Korey had a number of significant injuries when he was with us, and I think we can agree he was a player who left having made a significant, positive contribution to Bristol City becoming an established Championship side - as well as a goal or two!

Hopefully people aren't too quick to write off Williams, his reaction to this latest set-back shows how much he wants to succeed on the pitch and I don't think it's too much to ask to expect supporters to rally behind him, rather than throwing comments around like 'sick note'.

I take your point, it's terrible for the lad and he deserves our sympathy and support. 

However, footballers are expensive assets at the best of times, and given the current state of our current squad, you have to question how much longer we can afford to keep him at the club.

Such a shame as, when fit, he's clearly one of our better players.

We lost at home to the top team, which I ordinarily would have expected of any team looking to survive in the division this season.

Naturally I'm as frustrated as anyone else regarding the home win malady. However, that win will come for sure, and will be a sweet tonic when it does.

Onward.

We had nothing but bad luck at Wembley, compounded by poor showings on the part of our "star" players. 

That day still rankles with me because of the above. 

As for the spectacular winning goal - well on another day it may just as easily have ended up in Row Z.

Thems the breaks.

I like the cut of the man's jib.

Pretty sure the wealth they got all super excited about at the start “Premiership in 5 years, unlucky the shit” was the total combined family wealth & everyone else from Jordan has now walked away from Rovers.

Think there was also an older brother involved initially & he was taking flak from the few for not allowing Wael to spend more?

I would say he’s probably worth circa £50m, which seems a lot for the level they now play at, though in comparison Dale Vince of the vegans just up the road is worth double that.

Their problems stem from the fact that they have a dilapidated ground & if stories are true, very high wages in comparison to the level they play.

When you add in that they have been on a downward trajectory for years, are getting smaller & smaller gates (today’s will be horrendous) & Barton now appears toxic to a fair percentage even of their idiotic fan base, the outlook looks grim.

******* brilliant, isn’t it?

The sooner they go the better. I'm not interested in any so-called rivalry, that's well in the past now. One team in Bristol - the sooner that's literally the case, the better.

Any number of South Korean players, including.....

Lee Bum-Young, Lee Dong-Gook, etc

You get the idea.

All hail...Gus Cassius Caesar!

Gas_Harry_15's mockumentary is the funniest thing I've watched in ages and his stream of consciousness commentary a thing of genius. 

My personal favourite wasn't the constant stream of, "Sh*t!" every time The Gas were defending (sic), rather: "...that was never a fu*kin penalty........I'd 'ave to look at it again as I didn't see it....."

Nice one Harry! I'm presuming he's the eyes and ears of official GasTV then?. The pundits don't half use some colourful language mind. 

I guess this is all part of the "Joeyfication" of the 15ers??.

As Karen Carpenter* once sang, "We've only just begun".

*You may need to consult an elderly relative.

Well done to all the boys and girls who made the long trip today, by the way. 

Good job!

He's answered his critics in the best possible way today. 

Let's hope he does a few more times.

Well done Chris. Lovely finish, winning goal. Point made.

Twentieth, with a minus eight goal difference. 

Sweet.

Excellent win!

Well played lads!!

We are 9th in the Championship tonight. Which, by my reckoning, is massively over-achieving. 

COYR!!

COYR!!!!

Very entertaining half that. 

So predictable. 

COYR!!

Good.

You couldn't make it up. Still, plenty of time yet....

An Alloa player has been sent off for violent conduct after 25 seconds!

So he won't be alloa'd to play for the next three games then!

It`s got the feeling for me today of just getting the game out the way without too much additional damage done so we can regroup over the next two weeks.

I'll take a point now. 

Another surprise away win would be ace though

And Coventry smashed the mighty Fulham today.

And Ronaldo didn't score today.

And you can't trust coppers these days.

And the weather is very inclement.

Get over it.

COYR!!
