Red-Robbo Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I'm in two minds about banners at the match, part of me thinks they seem to be the only way to show Lansdown that this myth that LJ enjoys widespread fan support is total nonsense. But at the same time, I realise it could effect the morale of our already fragile group of players. If we lose against Wednesday perhaps some sort of sustained post-match chanting against Johnson will let the club owner know how most of us feel. I don't hate Johnson, and I don't wish him any ill. He's certainly tried and he did bring us some good times and good players to the club. But his limitations have been exposed. Sometimes, as Nick Lowe says, you have to be cruel to be kind.

Benjam!n Ultra Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 I am pro banners. Provided they are not offensive. It's a proper football display of disgust! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That assumes they want him out too. Although I'm with you that SL made a dreadful decision today, I don't buy into the "he's lost the dressing room" theory. Apart from maybe Tomlin, they seem more bewildered than disgruntled. Johnson's a pretty likeable chap, nearer them in age than most managers, so I expect they feel for him, knowing he's carrying the can for mistakes they've made on the pitch. Of course, I could be totally wrong. I don't know any of our current squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beni71 Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 Pathetic He's a human being with a family and he cares about the club, he's not doing a great job with some of his decision making, but stuff like this does no credit to the club or supporters.

YorkshireSection Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 There will be a banner outside turf moor and maybe a throwing of season ticket towards the dugout and in LJ's direction if my info is correct! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dynamite Red Posted January 23, 2017 Report Share Posted January 23, 2017 It's going to to turn nasty and SL should have put an end to this situation today with LJ given his P45. There is no way back for LJ and Tuesday week will be vicious if we do not win. Irresponsible of SL and fear the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJ will never be at that level im afraid, dont get the 'im a fan' stuff Lee comes out with either.. fair enough if he is but i find it a bit strange like.

Hope you were singing "David James, he's one of our own" if you believe your stuff? This is very much an example of why we a an irrelevant football club, pathetic reasoning in what makes someone worthy of being part of the club, so typical of Bristol and football supporters. Trying to drag this club into a modern way of thinking is an impossible task, don't know why SL bothers, if I were him I would just let it go and let all the Gas City stuff 'one of our own or not' idiots continue to be happy being very much a third division outfit. Those banners are pathetic, and really shows the World we are just a bunch of ignorant losers. Embarrassing.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midlands Robin Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 Is anyone else thinking 'Romans go home' from The Life of Brian at this point. I can only assume the creator of that banner saw the negative reaction to the use of the word Midget and tried to go two better. Oh what sad times for our club.

Benjam!n Ultra Posted January 24, 2017 Report Share Posted January 24, 2017 The banners are fine, the insults aren't. Better to be like this than roll over like Rovers do. A gas mate of mine once said, as a huge Higgs hater, the sort of shit they go through wouldn't happen down AG as City fans would never stand for it and something they should learn from us. It's not a bad thing to peacefully get your point across, which is why if it was me I'd be leaving the size comment ones at home next time.
