Good to read in conjunction with Nahki Wells interview. Says a lot about what NP is creating. 

Seem to be some suggestions it is but can find no official statement.

With a surname like that I wouldn't be surprised if there's Irish heritage in there as well.

Surely Welsh..castle n town in N Wales!!

Following on from the thread about the phrases that annoy on OTIB I thought I would share my fury at the now common assertion that teams play 3 times a week. 

There are 7 days in a week. Playing Saturday, Tuesday/Wednesday and then Saturday is twice a week, the 7 day period ends on Friday!!!

Am I in a minority of 1?

(Won’t be the first time.)

 

Quite right  a week is Sunday to Saturday, Monday to Sunday n so on...

I thought the ref got it spot on tonight. 
The Atkinson appeal was nothing. Don’t even think there was contact and if there was it was initiated by Atkinson himself moving his right leg toward the defender. And he made a meal of it. 
 

As for the sending off. 
2 footed, from behind, aggressive, red mist having not got a free kick. Absolutely the right decision and a moment of stupidity from Sykes. 
Freeman - as far as I’m aware, it’s not a sending off offence if you barge someone in the back. So a yellow card was correct there too. 
What I didn’t like was how Sykes went down holding his head when his head hadn’t been touched and he’d only been barged in the back. 
So a stupid tackle and then cheating to follow it up. Not the proudest 30 seconds of Sykes career I’d guess. 

Wasn't Atkinson pushed from behind? That's how I I turreted it n had to be a penny.. but not seen it yet!

I'm not overlooking anything. I sit in the Dolman on the half-way line, I have a good view of it.

So how did you see the Atkinson incident?

New head of recruitment!

64 yrs but no way can I remember first game! Do remember some fantastic Atyeo games but none more so than the double Easter fixtures over Shrewsbury to clinch promotion. 

Could NP be being lined up for DofF?

Maybe more hpful to hear what RG is doing!!

much about our defences positives yesterday. Think all 3 at the back did well. They nullified WBA attack, were strong in defence AND attack. Both Cundy (great game) and Atkinson back to form and we really looked as solid as I've seen our defence this season. Yes maybe crazy moment from Bentley (not sure about the penalty..would like to see in slomo) and our willingness to give gifts to the opposition continues but team played well, Pring was great again..what a tackler, and they deserved more. 

Don't remember seeing. Une either (as in above post) when we're we notified?

There is a very obvious one that has not been mentioned yet.

Arsenal 0 Bristol City 1.

First game back in the top flight. On the TV and a certain M MacDonald was going to tear us a new one.

Sadly the game after was one of the low points.
 

 

Agree on both counts...the cost of losing Cheesley was massive...

Not read all the pages here but v surprised it has taken so long to post this match. Such a feeling of pride in our team that day...

Def Leeds....so much a Goliath game....on headline news on R4 every hour all the way home! But isn't it sad how few truly specials there have been...when you've been supporting 63 years as I have. All games mentioned so memorable.

Yep. I'm sure Nige will get us tightened up at the back for next season. We can't keep needing to score three to win. Lots of green shoots to be positive about though. Things are definitely looking better. Onwards and upwards. COYR.

This is such a great thing to read....we can't need to keep scoring 3.......earlier in the season it was if only we could score those last minute goals wouldn't be so critical! Times have changed n I much prefer it this way....

Frustrates me when official people at the club like Tins tweet about him being ‘the future’.

He’s only ‘the future’ if he signs a new contract though, isn’t he. Otherwise, we’ll HAVE to sell him in a few months and then he’s not the future, is he?

The Massengo situation is completely up in the air.

 

Could be our future if in one fell swoop our latest deficit is cleared. Not suggesting it for one moment but.... 

Me too. One of most memorable games. 

Have also been Impressed with Max catching the ball n holding onto it in a crowded area - getting more confident in his interventions (yesterday timed his running to corner of penalty area) to perfection. Staying on his line we could have been in big trouble...this is an extra defender role. He's much quicker to sense danger I think. Bentley better in shot stopping, Max better at anticipating dangers. 

Alex has also begun to be targeted by opposing players,, has taken really hefty knocks...at the present time he seems the perfect player in the making... 

Put Pring in the mix too...how he has come on this season....

All I'm saying is without Bristol City fans there is no Bristol City. Without an owner there is still a Bristol City

Is there? Please explain! 

Just mentioned that since losing 7.0 to Fulham Blackburn have won eight n drawn two!! 

Might be better advised if live south of Bristol to come down to Taunton. Direct n likely to be less full. 

Any recommended links? 

Problem is not so much conceding at the last, but not having scored enough before.
