You’re right. However, that’s always the case - only one team is allowed to win. They can’t BOTH win. … and in this type of fixture a draw is not allowed…… ?

I’ve never been to ‘proper’ Luton - Ive flown from the airport a few times that’s all. I’ve heard it’s not all that great but to get it into perspective I live in swindon……. However, I’m not aware of their fans being scumbags and I didn’t think BCFC had any axe to grind with their club. Not that I really care - totally neutral on this one. I just think (as a neutral) Luton deserve their lead.

I wonder if Naismith thinks he might have been better staying where he was!!!

Luton seem to want it more than Sunderland at the moment.

Panto villain in the dugout and a referee’s worst nightmare amazing championship manager … and apparently a real gentleman who always makes time for a football chat with fans. Warnock is one of the few football managers that I’d love to sit down and chat football with over a beer. I must look him up when I’m next in Looe.

The Avon or the Severn?

They have not exactly set League 2 alight. Im surprised - they are quite a big club in THAT league.

IMHO he’s better attacking rather than defending - he’s too ‘lightweight’. As someone earlier suggested I think he’d be better playing in midfield with an attacking role, rather than defence.

Even then it’s not ‘gospel’ Remember that Egyptian player GJ signed (Metebh - or something like that)? That signing was announced on the OS but it never materialised.

I’ve never booed a city player in my life. Not even the likes of Diony. Groan when something goes wrong yes, but targeted booing no. I’d rather encourage the players than shoot them down.

Maybe the heels caused the knee ligament injury? if so, Nige needs to have a word…. https://www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/celebrity-style/488731/alex-scott-dances-sheer-vinyl-catsuit/

Absolutely this. It was distorted out of all proportion. I share a hatred for his Br@@it views but he was not guilty of sacking staff during lockdown.

I knew Bob Stevens who used to run the Horse and Groom. He took over the Winford Arms back in the day. this thread is sending me on a virtual pub crawl of my old haunts when I lived in Bristol…!!!

The Gas anthem (Goodnight Irene) was born from one of their games against Plymouth apparently…… so I’ve been told.

Last time I went in the Tap and Barrel I ended up in a ‘scuffle’. The brother-in-law is a regular around those pubs and he’d obviously upset somebody because a bloke deliberately barged him whilst he was singing Karaoke. I jumped up and separated them, then we left. It was a very tense atmosphere. Back in the day (mid 80s) though it was one of my regular haunts - as was the Black Cat. Does anyone remember when Gerry ran the Black Cat? I’m going back to 1985. I think he took it on just after it reopened. His mate Steve ran the Yew Tree in Bishopsworth for a while too. Nice guys but didn’t stay in the trade for long.

I know that person. She’s been around the pub scene for many years. I’m not surprised about those pubs struggling given the cost crisis, but I am surprised they are all going at once.

Same as others on here I was underwhelmed by Cotts's appointment. I thought Semenyo was godawful when I first saw him play - got himself sent off vs Leeds (or it might have been Derby) I seem to remember I thought Caulker would go on and become the next 'Tony Adams' and play at the very highest level I thought Danny Rose was one of the worst, most useless players who ever donned the shirt - spent most of his time sat on his @rse wailing for a free kick. I thought Nick Carle was going to be brilliant and I was gutted when he went to Palarse I thought Matt Smith would be a 'donkey' signing I thought Aaron Wibraham was past it when we signed him There are undoubtedly many other footballing mistakes I've made. Basically it seems I know very little about the game......... ?

I think that’s lost on the youngsters on here…!!!

I used to enjoy watching the showboat back in the day Not really bothered now though - hardly ever watch it these days and NEVER from start to finish.

I thought that todays rules were if it hits your hand in the box it’s a penalty - whether you have your hand out or not - you could have your back to the ball and it hits your hand it’s still a pen. The old ‘ball to hand’ rule no longer exists. A red card is for when the referee thinks it was deliberate. If it’s accidental then it’s just unfortunate - it’s still a penalty- but at least you won’t get sent off!!! Thats my understanding anyway - I might be wrong…..

I’m a bit torn really. I liked the thought of the new stadium - with its train station and easy access, but I also like to go for a beer or 2 before and after the game and although I don’t mind the bars in the stadiums I do like the choice around North Street. Parking is and always has been a nightmare around BS3 on match days and I’m travelling from Swindon so I was really hoping from a selfish perspective that the new stadium would have triggered investment in the rail link that was planned. I live in hope that the Ashton Gate halt will one day be reopened. In the meantime, Ashton Gate is perfectly adequate for hosting Championship and mid-lower Prem games. We only need a 40k stadium if we break into the top 6 European places and I can’t see that happening any time soon.

Did Chelsea just attempt the ‘Weasel’???

Sent them to Tenerife and Lanzarote - apparently they want Germans more than Brits over there…..

Players have bought into the idea that our season is over.
