Do these photos tell you all you need to know to draw your own conclusions? I like to think the club will be delving a little deeper and not simply relying on how the tabloids want to present this. Including The Sun, the paper that told us Liverpool fans were urinating on the dead at Hillsborough and picking their pockets. However, I think a ban on any alcohol now for the squad until after the season would be good. Would you cancel the easter egg hunt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ruin the fun I think @Maesknoll Red has got a grip - you are persecuting the guy with no knowledge of what was happening. Does it look great, no, did Ayling do anything wrong, no. **** it, lets slate the bloke anyway Get a grip, FFS I haven't persecuted anybody, I am saying Ayling had a choice and his choice was to stay where he was, which was in the middle of the action and that was a poor choice, a bit like his choice that led to Cardiff's 2nd goal.

Not aimed at you @WTMS but using your quote....The players do loads of stuff outside their playing remit. Look what they've done for Oskar, Charlton Farm, etc. And I think you'll find Ayling's face is same happy face whatever he's doing....so don't assume drunk. He may've been, who knows? its not good PR for City, and a reminder of their duties as footballers and socially is all that is needed in my opinion. could the Becks be Becks Blue....the non-alcoholic stuff Now, now - enough nice things being said about Ayling & co, back to the lynchings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I must say, I am very much looking forward to Mark Ashton making a statement very soon on this spectacular own goal by the boys.

cider-manc Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Stick the two that got their cocks out on the sex offenders list- that'll teach em. As for City's players- I expect that there will be public apologies at some point just to save face, but it doesn't look like they have done anything wrong other than have a couple of idiots as mates. Everyone's got an idiot in their group of friends- you except them because they are "your" idiot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol City's name has rightly or wrongly been dragged through the mud this morning in probably the most read newspapers and media outlets in the country. While it might seem funny or just 'banter' to us immediate fans, the problem the club has is that this would have been read by neutrals, Bristol residents, sponsors, potential sponsors, the FA etc. Its not often Bristol City gets much national media attention so the fact that it is in a bad light will mean that Lansdown, the manager and board will be quite rightly fuming. Whether or not our players were to blame for anything they were there and Ayling's face is all over the pictures laughing which in my book makes him involved. Whilst I don't think any of them should have wages docked or anything that severe they need a stern talking and to be warned that this kind of attention is not acceptable. Anyway, hopefully the next time Bristol City FC is mentioned on the front page of a national newspaper it will be a more positive story. Very well said. It's unfortunate for Ayling etc. but then it's no one else's fault his face is all over the Sun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Why don't we just now let the club deal with it. With a cross-section of peeps on this forum you are going to get a mix of views. Some will be offended, some won't. Some, therefore will be happy with the club's action, some won't. Move-on.

I have to agree with this, you can't be held responsible for some other tools actions, and I'm happy as long as its not one of our players pissing into a cup or throwing it.
