cityexile Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I will genuinely be astounded if there is anything remotely resembling a hostile atmosphere at 'the gate' - never has been when I've visited in the past. Always found the place rather quiet and the supporters indifferent. See! This is much better. I always find understatement in a casual manner gets many more bites. There are sadly few grounds any more where there is a real old fashioned atmosphere, in my humble opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cityexile Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Sorry pal. I agree he was held by the Swindon player but after that there was a deliberate upward movement(called a headbutt). This happened about 10 yards directly in front of us. It was Elliott doing the cheating(headbutt) Hand on heart? I dont know really what happened. The truth is we are real rivals this year, and heck, you would have to be the buggers to end our unbeaten run. These things all add some spice that is for sure. Lets see how the table looks then, but if its still the top two, of course there will an atmosphere from both ends. Its these few games we all endure the wet tuesdays in Oldham for.

As an old man of 71 and a law abiding citizen, I believe that your supporters will be overwhelmed by the reception you and your team will get. I sincerely hope that none of our fans partake of violence but the atmosphere is likely to be extremely hostile. We accept defeat but cheating is something we will never condone.

cityexile Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Not quite As the Swindle fans see it. Apparently when it comes to theses sort of things we are the experts ! Quote from: Costanza on Friday, February 6, 2015, 11:31:46 Bristol City are dull as dishwater to watch but let's face it, they're very good at winning. I just can't see them dipping below the automatic places. As a supporter of a fellow promotion challenger it's frustrating to see as they always look like they're there for the taking but only a few can quite manage it. I have seen them play a couple of times this season and yes they are truly dull to watch but as you rightly state they win games without ever being exciting to watch or even very attacking (Freeman excepted). They remind me a lot of Brentford last season, solid, uninspiring and very dirty and wind up opponents a lot but good at doing that, they will go up this season as one of the autos, I just hope that the Bletchley Stealers come unstuck soon. I read that some time back, as I like looking at the forums of other teams. I would in fairness say that as that poster tends to be normally quite balanced, I can only assume he was playing to a home crowd here. I can see how to a neutral we appear physical. For this level we are quite direct, maybe more so with Smith. Very dirty? Behave. Lets take the top three. Key players are Flint, for MK MacF, and for Swindon N Thomson (sp?). I think they are all actually decent players in the role they play. The difference? Flint has been physical, but never been booked. The others constantly pick up cards and miss games. Dirty implies outside the rules. By any rational reading of that, our main competitors are two of the dirtest teams in the league this year, and we are one of the cleanest. If, still a big if, we go up this year, on the field discipline accross the season may turn out to be as big a factor as any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certainly not defending what the Swindon player did, I'm just saying what happened on the day. By the way, if Elliott is so innocent why did the lino immediately say to the ref that it's a red for Elliott. Don't forget that you guys were at least 50 yards away with a 'front on', view. We had a side on view just 10 yards away and I say again, there was a deliberate upward thrust of Elliott's head, which has nothing to do with the Swindon player grabbing him. Now if you guys can't accept the facts and just want to continue with this obsession with STFC, have a happy life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Exile Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I agree with you, in as much that the sending off certainly changed how the game panned out. Whatever we think about each others teams, there is no doubt that both teams have played the best football in the division and deserve to be where they are and hopefully will still be there come the end of the season. It would be good to think that if we are both promoted it shifts the focus of the footballing world a little further south and west... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest armin_tamzarian Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Pretty interesting reading this thread. I am an oldham fan, I was on here quite a bit when we played you in November. This is the first time that I've been back... Not much has happened since, we've had a quiet winter. No controversy at all.....?! We beat Swindon last night. A very, very odd game. After 10 minutes we were 2 up, both from mistakes, they then completely dominated posession, but they only created one clear cut chance in 80 minutes and a good header from a corner. Even their goal was a long range shot the keeper should save. We had hardly any of the ball, but had a good goal ruled out for offside and their keeper made 3 saves. 2 of which, we should be finishing. What was interesting was the way they cynically left a boot in. Some really nasty challenges. This obviously isn't a case of sour grapes... We won. As the players left at full time, 2 were throwing the v's up at our fans, having a go. Yes we had a go back, but we were trying to celebrate a victory. They came out to have a go. They play good football, but mask it with a real nasty streak. And their keeper is shit. Glad to see you are still up there, especially with Matt Smith.

Interesting to hear your view on the number of chances they created. Listening to Mark Cooper he reckons that for periods in the game it was the best football they've played this season.

Gert Mare Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 FORE! Cheers mate. I think you are spot on regarding penalty decisions and it does happen in every league. Don't blame your fans getting the hump with Elliott's red card. It's not so much the injustice, but the rolling around of the alleged victim, which I do not condone. I am old school and have been watching us since 1985 and whilst I'll take a win against your lot any time, I certainly took no pride in the manner of the red card. See you at the gate in April - I am certainly expecting some hostility, but maybe not as bad as being pelted with golf balls 30 odd years ago!!

cidered abroad Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Swindle have 62 yellow cards so far and four red. That's before they totally lose it against us at our place. We have 37 BTW and Swindle are top card earners. Seems the refs talk and have their number now. I cannot believe their idiots will not get a couple of reds against us. If I may correct your info. Cards accumulated by each Club MK 2 red 62 yellow Swindon 2 red 45 yellow Sheff U 3 red 36 yellow PNE 1 red 37 yellow City 2 red 27 yellow Cards accumulated by clubs when playing AGAINST the named team Sheff U 6 red 62 yellow Swindon 4 red 63 yellow MK 4 red 61 yellow PNE 2 red 41 yellow City 1 red 38 yellow So MK have got more cards than any other team. Swindon are mid table for cards. What is apparent is that teams playing Sheff U, Swindon and MK have accumulated loads of cards. How much is due to play acting by those three clubs is not available. It is abundantly clear that matches involving City have a lot less cards for both teams than any involving the four named clubs above. City's secret weapon is good discipline as well as good quality football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its absolute trash on the proportions of the Gas. What really annoys me about fans are the ones who are santimonious. "We play fantastic football blah blah blah" There is more than one way to skin a cat. It annoys me about Latics fans. As if passing the ball gives you a right to win anything and everything. The game is essentially about the fundementals: Defending well, creating chances, but ultimately finishing them. If you do those things, you will be onto a winner. Posession is not the law in football, it is goals. I personally wasn't that impressed by Swindon. Lots of neat passing, switching the play, running to the box, but they didn't test our keeper much. 1 good save when they completely carved us up, a header from a corner and the long range goal. We created the better chances, often due to their inability to handle basic pressure at the back. Press them high up the pitch and you will cause them problems. Teams who don't do that could get picked off. Williams was only on their bench though. If he had have played, it could have been a different - they may play differently with him. I'm in the minority who were not that impressed with them. Wolves last year were very good. Southampton of a few years ago were exceptional. Swindon.. meh. If they only make the play offs, when things were tight, they are the kind of side I'd like to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Ashton Gate hasn't suddenly become the Al Sami Yen Stadium and us poor Swindon fans and players are going to think we're in hell....it hasn't and we'll all be fine). You need to gain a bit of perspective, you're Bristol City, nothing more, nothing less, nothing special. Thanks for the reminder, without a little realism from the likes of you we'd be getting carried away with ourselves. Now then, what's your realism on yourselves? I'll give you a starter, you've spent 62 years in the third tier of English football out of 87. On Wikipedia, your rivals are listed as Rovers, Reading and Oxford, also traditional third tier football clubs. We might be nothing special but, you are nothing.

luke_bristol Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 One Team, on 10 Feb 2015 - 10:53 PM, said: The OP makes a valid point. "As good as this promotion campaign is, and as attractive as the football is, it is nowhere near as enjoyable or as fun as the Johnson and Ward promotion seasons (purely from an atmosphere point of view)." One Team "That's the point in trying to make. We should be buzzing, but I can't say I massively look forward to going to each home game....as it's so flat and dull. I'm just glad and thankful the players are doing there part" **** me, you're even talking about it amongst yourselves on another thread. I rest my case. Debate over. See you in April for a little but of shouting and some loud clapping. Someone is cracking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
