I've just had a look at the JD, it mentions Hudl and Tableau, both of which we use at my company - quite specialist. It's a key role and would require not only excellent analytical skills, but PM and comms skills as well.

You'd be pitching at a senior level and would need to have some gravitas behind you. Plus a Masters, etc. 

Those sorts of skills are highly desirable in the workforce, and highly portable - I work in healthcare and we have people who do similar things.

I'm agreeing with me...it's >£25k compared with the wider market for that sort of person.

What do your reckon salary will be?

My guess £20-24k

Its a young man’s game.

Edit. It’s the Lead role, so maybe £30k

Still a young man’s game. 

Hmmmm...less than a top player at our club is paid in a week? I'd suggest that this is a grad starting salary - so I'd suggest that should be doubled, at least. 

I must do this next season!!!

There was something in the tunnel, a Chester player (I think) ended up with blood on his shirt and they were going to press charges or get the FA involved. As you say a long time ago. What I was told is that Chester said sell him and we will leave it. City put Turner on the List at a Price they thought no one would touch, sadly they did. Apparently Turner was in tears in the car park when the deal was done. 

I didn't know about that. Where did he go?

Him and Taylor were absolutely lethal. Possibly the best duo I've ever seen at City.

Works in rugby as the captains tend to be closer to the ref when the decision is made. Not the same in football. Depending where the incident takes place, we could have defenders and goal keepers having to run half the length of the field (or more) to speak nicely to the ref.

Not suggesting it would be the captain, per se, but the manner in which it's asked - one player, asking the ref - would be good to see

There's some great ideas on here, particularly the yellow cards for hounding/swearing at the ref - works well in rugby (and you can question decisions, if you are captain - and ask nicely). Similarly, the egg chasers have a rule about moving the kick if someone mouths off - great idea.

VAR is in theory a good idea, but unlike rugby, cricket, etc. it isn't incorporated into the game. They make it part of the spectacle; do the same for football. Show what the VAR officials can see - every ground has a big screen now.

VAR checks on the screens at the game

I would love to see Liverpool win it just because I would love to see the Quadruple.

Hell, no. Imagine the Plastic Scouser celebrations.

I can see Rovers being interested but would be surprised if they could agree financial terms.

Which one? 

Fabulous, no nonsense CB. Took a mean pen, too. Best wishes.

If they were to keep the kits for 2 seasons that would be a decent gesture to the supporters. 

It would also be far more sustainable (environmentally)

Yep...there has always been anti social behaviour...but not to the degree we see now. Not sure what you are trying to prove...bit pointless.

You should try reading some history. And maybe a bit less of the Daily Mail.

No I don't...lot of presumption on this thread.

Hitting perse is wrong.

However...I am in the camp of a smack on the bottom to deter a child from hurting itself or others, if words won't work, or consequences don't work is ok.

Not hitting or beating. But a smack on the bottom with an explanation and hug.

That's my opinion...I'm not going to debate it as I won't change my mind. I grew up in that, and the deterent of a smack on the bum worked. 

I don't condone beating or abuse.

I witness more and more, parents trying to control children who are screaming, shouting, throwing absolute tantrums, trying to calm them with words...landing on deaf ears. Often the parents look embarrassed and at a loss as what to do...as words and consequences weren't working.

If you had a child continually running into the road without looking, and not listening to advice or reacting to consequences.........

Indeed...so it was you who mentioned ' young people'...you brought it up. I wasn't talking about young people perse...you changed the subject and incinuated by your reply that it was me.

It's been a gradual drip drip over generations.

 

So physical assault is all that prevents you from running into the street?

Yes, but didn't City fans invade the AG pitch in 1990 vs Walsall? So maybe that 'do as I want' attitude has always been there..

Did any Walsall players get attacked?

Should player be abused? No of course not. But anyone say calling for fines and bans for fans, points deductions  and other punishments need to grow up or stay away from football. 

Fans have been doing pitch invasions for as long as I can remember, including ironically Swindon at the county ground against Port Vale 2012! Fans spend thousands of pounds and years of travelling up and down the country for very few moments like these, dont let a few isolated incidences and the media fool you into forcing an agenda to ruin rare moments like these for real fans. Sky sports were more than happy to jump on the bandwagon last night and shows how out of touch they really are.

So, if I pay to go and see a show at the theatre, I can get up on stage and attack the baddy in the play?

Oops, my apologies, I can see where I went wrong there and caused confusion .. by nationalist, I’m not talking about from an Irish perspective. They represent the Union Jack so I mean nationalist in the sense of the United Kingdom. A lot of people from England (like my dad) support them because they are seen as quintessentially “British” and represent the UK flag. 

Ah... that's "Unionist", rather than "Nationalist" ( in the early '90s at uni, I shared a house with a guy from NI. I learned the difference... quickly! )

PLEASE KEEP THIS THREAD TALKING ABOUT FOOTBALL

There is a reason why we have a whole section dedicated to political discussions

Kind of hard given that it's Rangers.

PS what about the religious bit, where does that sit?

Not at all. Most had a preferred team last night which happened to be Rangers. They may play somebody else and that might change. Some will want Liverpool to win next week and some will want RM. 

 

"Most"? Evidence, please.

You understand the political concepts of left and right, correct? Rangers have strong links to the nationalist far right. I have no time for them, or Celtic for that matter either. I have no idea why any Bristol City fans would care about them.

Errrr...Rangers are a Protestant club, with associations with Protestants in Ireland, as well (and Celtic are the Catholic equivalent).

Whether the likes of their politics is 'left' or 'right' is open to conjecture. 

Sure as hell the Rangers fans would not be happy being described as "Nationalist", the word used to describe the NI Catholic movement...

Plastic Wimbledon?

You’d be mistaken for thinking that this was a Rangers forum by reading this thread, not a Bristol City one. Well done Frankfurt! I don’t care about some far right team from a few hundred miles away.

Err, how far away is Frankfurt?

Anyway, well done to the German team. I've no love for Rangers* but sounds like they were a bit unlucky. 

*Or Celtic, for that matter, or any of that ridiculous religious bigotry rubbish that's associated with them.

I think the comments about McInnes signing some rubbish are a little harsh. Firstly, which manager doesn't? Secondly, he was effectively a foreign manager, unfamiliar with the English leagues. Where was the scouting? And who signed it off? If he had someone with nous as DoF...

Misses a sitter.

Makes up for it by scoring 25 yard worldie.

And he was astonishing in the air.

Nice bloke, too, by all accounts.

Because as a gay man he would find looking at other fit young men undressed sexually exiting, and that's my final word on the subject, if it doesn't bother you great me as I have said would find it a bit uncomfortable and I don't feel the need to apologise to you or anyone else for having that opinion.

As a heterosexual male, I personally don't find fit, athletic women in the slightest. Why would a gay man automatically like athletic men?
