Ummm... but should such a self-proclaimed professional organisation as Bristol Sport be employing what appears to be a football novice, learning his trade 'live'? Ashton Gate is neither a nightclub or kindergarten. We've not be transported to the USA either. I'm sure he's a nice bloke but he does not appear to understand Englishfootball culture.

Thatwasclose Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I think what happens on the pitch is way more important than what happens off it. most in here now taking this too serious. Let's all remember there is now an even more diverse group of fans so what appeals to one group might not appeal to the other. Maybe it works well with the younger fans who knows - in any case if we are winning no one will care to be honest so calm down all who cares about our mic reputation?? So we get whopped on the pitch but at least we keep our mic skills reputation intact ey?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 56 minutes ago, JoeAman08 said: His second game. He's taken the advice on Twitter and commented on it. Not gotten defensive about it. Based on this, I'm willing to give him a few more games and I think we all should. Listen to him, let him know what he's doing well and what he isn't. If he makes changes then he can continue. I agree it was quite bad today but he's taken the advice on board it would seem. Looking forward to seeing adjustments next Saturday. Dolman tannoy needs lots of work. That is all. No thanks. This is exactly the sort of small club mentality that has held us back for far to many years. If he or anyone else employed by the club isn't upto the job there is no room for sentiment as you suggest. Second game in a row that he's been site so should be binned.

cidered abroad Posted August 20, 2016 Report Share Posted August 20, 2016 I sit in S22 and can't hear what is said by anyone because the sound from loudspeakers seems to "vibrate". I agree that I got sick of hearing it was out highest crowd for twenty odd years. We're not a giant of a club but it made us ssem like non league minnows yet it was a league match so why suck up to Newcastle with such statements. I couldn't hear the teams as read out by Adam Baker because he mumbled he names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the club hiring someone who speaks professionally to thousands on a daily basis over the radio and is learning a new job makes Bristol City a small club. GTFO. It's got nothing to do with club size or mentality. I think the club being in the second or third division for the past 40 or so years has more to do with the "small club" mentality then the bloke who announces lineups and raffle numbers.

I'm all for not liking him. I cringed much of the day as well. If the guy is willing to listen and try and get better then he should get the opportunity, IMO. If he's still poor after 6-7-8 games then by all means move on but give the guy a chance. He seems keen enough. It's weird the impatience with everything on this forum. Surprised we haven't seen LJ out threads after 2 losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
