Admin Ian M Posted June 11, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 As far as OTIB polls go I don't think we could get any more conclusive if the question was "Do you love City?" (due to a few interlopers from the other side) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 He does, and maybe those points would have been debated if the reported had resisted bashing the supporter-base And the 1 comment before his on the Post website asked him a question. The interactions I saw on twitter asked him questions. A few people refuted the label he put on us. In fact the only person I've seen doing any kind of "bashing" is Mr Stockhausen. Just put your hand up and say you judged the vibe wrong & we all move on. If we don't after you admit a mistake we are just dicks and not worth worrying about. Not that you'll read this advice of course. Bashing, seriously? Calm down dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Andy is a decent local journalist, doing what local journalists do. He must be finding it tough to get a story at this time of year, particularly with so little activity in the market. I think anxiety about signings is pretty inevitable, so he's not far off the mark. However, he is a journalist trying to find a story, and normally I find him pretty supportive of the activities of Bristol City, so I'd suggest we give him a break. I know a guy who works with him, all this talk of Rovers biased in the EP etc is absolute tosh, both guys who write about City and Rovers are cockneys, no elegance to either club, just doing their job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted June 11, 2015 Admin Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 So as off 12:55 on Thursday 11th 2% of supporters are anxious and 98% are not - pretty conclusive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 More bullshit from a 4th rate sports "journalist" This place would be in meltdown of we were anxious, The fact that 2 of our best players and another pretty good play has signed contract extensions is more important then a signing imo Exactly. We have already made 3 of the best signings we could have hoped for this summer, in Elliot, Flint & Bryan and another pleasing one in Pack. Most transfer business doesn't begin to happen unti July anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheatus59 Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 According to Stockhausen this morning fans are getting "anxious by the perceived lack of action in the transfer market". What utter bollocks, it isn't even the middle of June for ****'s sake. Ive always thought the man was a tosser , I've got no time for him , where does he get this info from ???

Harry Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 Here's a novel idea for No News June. Why don't the Post, for 23 days of the month, run an article each day on the opposition Bristol City are due to play next season? Give us an in-depth report on their squad, their ambitions, their potential recruitment, maybe even a little stadium guide or something for us to use when we visit. For me, this would be a much better use of the space, giving us plentiful information about the season ahead, but I fear it might be too much work for a local journo to undertake.

Guest Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 If no one's making signings yet, what use would that be? A damn sight more than reporting a blatant misconception (at best) as fact. Anyway, I don't think Harry's suggesting probable formations/tactics etc... just a sufficiently detailed but brief overview of club history, review of last season, their players;key men; fan's favs and then a few of the headlines from recent news pieces/ transfer rumours. I think it's really a brilliant suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 For what it's worth I believe that this reporter is kept at arms length by the club, I suspect SL isn't overly keen by some of his more 'barbed' comments about the club, I believe he is only spoon fed what the club decides to feed him. There is no panic about signings, because most fans trust the way things are shaping at the club, gone are the days of panic/journeymen/signings for the sake of numbers (well hopefully of course). The signings have to be right. FFS the post earlier this week ran a poll about whether Joey Barton would be a good signing for BCFC, what a desperate crock of shit that is for a newspaper. The post should take a leaf out of the Swindon advertisers book, every week there are interesting articles about the club, prospective signings, possible players leaving, interviews with released players and interviews with former players. The post is a total rag and the sports journo's and sports coverage are/is shabby. That is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Robbo Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 "Journalist anxious to find enough stories to fill the space required shock!"

downendcity Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 OTIB is the epitomy of hyperbole & over-reaction yet all in here seem quite calm and are just enjoying the contract renewals at the moment. Bored maybe but not anxious. However, if you replace the word "supporters" with "local journalists" it makes much more sense. I'm not anxious about activity but am concerned that an otib poster is using epitomy and hyperbole in the same sentence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whooooossshhhh Posted June 11, 2015 Report Share Posted June 11, 2015 I don't know if anyone has realised, but it is the eleventh of June and we haven't signed ANYONE! No keeper, no full back, no midfielder and not a single striker. I was saying this to some bloke in the bar at cricket earlier this week. He asked me if I was 'anxious' at least 12 times. I steadfastly refused to commit my inner feelings to him until each request was accompanied by a pint, bought by him. Obviously, I then agreed that I am indeed anxious about the situation (I'm a naturally anxious type, all round). After nearly a gallon of cider, he started to seem like quite a nice old stick if I remember rightly. Unfortunately, after the twelfth admission to him that I am indeed anxious, I can't recall too much about him. Amongst the hazy recollections, I seem to remember that he was something to do with wine making or fence erection as I remember him talking about 'Press' and 'Post' every time he asked if he could quote me. I hope that the pleasant time I spent in his company hasn't led to any misunderstandings. I love you all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Summer I don't expect us to sign more than 3 or 4 1st choice players. I would then expect us to pick up a handful of young players with potential to flesh out the squad and develop into 1st team contenders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
