ten minutes of rough Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 As stated in the thread before it was locked the team could do with some recognition, I suppose locking the thread will not help this, if the mods think that some of the comments were not helpful then perhaps other actions (warnings) could have been taken instead of locking the thing. Personally I think it's a great story, and different from the 'norm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks TMR i was surprised when I found it was locked as I wanted to make the comment that nobody had suggested or asked where they played and how much if any are the club involved or even how can we support them.

Drew Peacock Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Are the club involved? Why are they called BCFC if not? Seems a much better team to support than a bunch of fans on a piss up abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a much better team to support than a bunch of fans on a piss up abroad. Yes and if you look at the team photo, you will see they are wearing the latest shirt. So to what extent are the club or Bristol Sport involved, does anybody know more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People don't listen to warnings, and it's damned if you do and damned if you don't! (Reading the posts above back says more about the poster) Let's try to keep this about the team, and not continuing about picking fault with each others posts!

Drew Peacock Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 A bit of googling has shown it has a connection with Bristol City Community Trust. How much I am not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done. why threads have to turn into slanging matches I don't understand. Lets just try and find out how this team can be helped. If i was still living in Bristol I would.

downendcity Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Just wondering what does the ref use instead of a whistle? Back in the 70s I played against Bristol Deaf in the District League and the ref waved a hankerchief for the deaf but also used a whistle for us. Problem was that I played up front and was and was a bit quick and often outstripped the defence, only for the ref to blow for offside and also wave his hankie. Unfortunately the chasing defender couldn't see the hankie and as I pulled up thought he had caught me and whacked me from behind ( still allowed back then). Funny thing was the deaf guys swore like troopers, but it didn't sound like they were, if you know what I mean. Happy days! Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Horse With No Name Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 This is a true story and not meant as a joke, but I used to play against a deaf skittle team at Bristol Deaf Club, and all the staff as well as members were obviously deaf, but they had telephones behind the bar with red lights on, which flashed when they rang. Brilliant idea, but I never did find out what would be the point of them answering the damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome To The Jungle Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 For what it is worth I'll apologise. I have a deaf relative, but I suppose I know them well and where the line is (and she'll give me a whack if I cross the line). I'm honestly glad to see the team do well and good luck to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Knight Posted February 18, 2015 Report Share Posted February 18, 2015 Thrashed them 5 - 0 to reach the semis of the English Deaf Cup ! I never heard of this team, has anybody else? Either way well done. http://www.bristolpost.co.uk/Bristol-City-Deaf-Manchester-United-Deaf-style/story-26041538-detail/story.html?ito=email_newsletter_bristolpost YES, but there not talked about much only joking I wish them all the best and hope they go on and win the Cup.

Admin phantom Posted February 19, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The BCFC OS is starting to get a little like the Evening Post used to be, 24 hours later and the news story appears after being on OTIB. http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/city-deaf-put-five-past-united-2280384.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cidered abroad Posted February 19, 2015 Report Share Posted February 19, 2015 The semifinal is in Warwick on 15 March, Mothers Day. It is also my wife's birthday, so I would lose brownie points if I went. All the best to the team and fans. Maybe we'll all do the Final if they get there.
