Tins Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Thought this was about me at first! But in all seriousness I think this could be a good appointment especially with his experience in Spain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 OK.. So we have a word... Legend...? Was John Ateyo a legend...? Too many what he achieved while playing for City would put him in this category.. IMHO Tinnion was miles from being in that class and there are many more players I would promote before him.. So just to clarify if someone calls Tinnion a legend, then they cannot put the likes of Merrick, Galley, Gow, Gibson etc in the same mould. At best an average player - and in my opinion far from a legend... Hope that clears it up... How on earth can you compare Ateyo to Tinnion?

Ok, but what about for a fan like me, who never saw those guys play, having only been around since 1986, and started watching City in 92. Who contributed more to BCFC in the past 20 years? Forget the mid-late 70s, they were our glory days and those guys were obviously better footballers. Who would you rank above Tinnion as a 'club legend' in this period? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just intrigued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best an average player - and in my opinion far from a legend... Hope that clears it up... It certainly does. In short, your conclusion that he isn't a legend (based on his on-field contribution to Bristol City) is based on your opinion that he was 'at best an average player'. Some might say that the issue you've alluded to isn't so much a failure to comprehend the meaning of the word 'legend' as a marked difference in opinion? That's fine, no problem with that at all, but why try to insult people's intelligence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinnionForEngland Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Tinnion for England! Him and Murray are Bristol City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanatopia Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Would you not say that at City he is extremely famous or notorious? There certainly aren't many people at Ashton Gate on a Saturday afternoon that don't know much about him? So isn't he therefore a City legend? Of course he is but that is not what the definition is; you, yourself, are 'extremely famous or notorious' in your household and you may well be a legend in the eyes of your Mum. In short, you can narrow the definition down to a legend since 1990 wearing a City shirt. You then debase the word beyond all form of recognition and that is NOT what the word means. Its embarrassing for him as well because he knows better. Tinman was a loyal servant to City and played some good football and scored quite a few cracking goals and important ones at that. He was a very decent footballer at League 1 level. Personally I would leave it at that. When it comes to sports people and actors it is no doubt one of the most over-used and exaggerated words in English usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Welcome back Tins. Fair play to him for going away and rejuvenating his career in the game. This should be good for us and knows the club inside out. Regardless of his short comings as a manager he will always be a legend as a player to me. No doubt about that. Class act, sweet left peg and a fantastic pro. We have missed his sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 458 games over 12 years. Hope that clears it up for you. Not that it really matters, but I think in total he played 551 games for City. It was certainly comfortably over 500 as his 500th game was away at Notts County.

Amazing if you have an opinion for whatever reason, if it doesn't fit with the 'happy clappies' then things get personal... That's goes to show how shallow and narrow minded some fans can be... Fall in line or you get totally scathed for having an opinion... Still I suppose it makes them feel better, and are obviously always right...

You don't need to disrupt other people's discussion every time. For what's worth I'm neither a happy clapper nor massive Tins fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymum Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Legend in my eyes. We have missed his style of passing for years. Sad that it didn't work out for him as Manager but when he was in the team you always felt we had a chance against anyone. Always gave 100% and clearly loved the club, unlike some of the lazy money grabbers we've had since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you rightly say, I have (and will always have) my personal views on the guy.. And so does everyone else... And the some posters apply the same feelings time and time again in another way..? So does this make them right and only them able to keep posting their views..? Get the gist of a forum, then understand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
