WessexPest Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 2-1 down, 3-2 up, ZideReds are staying up; Gashead scum are looking glum, Darrell smears his **** with Pedigree Chum. 1 Quote Link to comment

Jacki Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) What a fantastic second half, unbelievable after the way we played in the first. Great result, great atmosphere, happy days Edited April 22, 2017 by Jacki Quote Link to comment

Well done everyone connected with the team, and long may it continue. 13 points from a possible 19 I make it - previously we had accrued the same number of points from something like a possible 70.

22A Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 When Barnsley went 2-1 up, only weeks ago, City would have lost that game. It's a new & improved City now. Looking at tonight's table it's pleasing to see the likes of Forest & QPR beneath us. It's doubtful I admit, but is possible that Ipswich and or Wolves could yet be overtaken. By finishing 16th, that puts City in the middle rather than bottom third of the table. That makes City more attractive to potential players and sponsors. I believe we also get more money from the League the higher up we finish. COYR! 1 Quote Link to comment

WessexPest Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Swindon in the basement for the first time since '85-86 I believe. Took them 23 years to fall all the way from the top level to the bottom rung - amateurs... 2 Quote Link to comment

Not only that, but he's lived abroad for years, hasn't watched a game in the flesh for years and provides his analysis courtesy of listening to radio commentaries. I have great respect for expats who use OTIB to follow their club, but not when they presume to explain what is going on to those of us who are actually in the ground! Quote Link to comment
BigTone Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 (edited) Quick question and don't want to be a party pooper but are we now mathematically safe ? I don't think so but could be very wrong (I hope) Edited April 22, 2017 by BigTone Quote Link to comment

Not so long back they played Bradford, another former Prem club in the fourth div. It was a quiz question at the time Quote Link to comment
Offside Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Excellent second half. Credit to LJ and the team for turning it around. At about 2pm there were 5-6 Barnsley fans walking down North St chanting obnoxiously and unnecessarily about Bristol being a s***hole (oh the irony), trying to intimidate families going about their business. Big men. Glad their journey home will feel longer after a defeat. Quote Link to comment

Rascal Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Brilliant game of football very entertaining, and you got the right outcome in the end, did any of you notice our manager when we scored opener ? Told his players to out the ball, then shakes his head as his players run towards him after it went in, the blokes class. 6 Quote Link to comment

Great result, great atmosphere, happy days The word that came to my mind was 'heroic'. To recover from a goal down twice, and to see Bailey Wright apologising for his error and then the team fighting so hard to get back on top had me welling up. Quote Link to comment

WessexPest Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Just one slightly disappointing note - crowd of only 18,000 - would've expected 20k at least. Although it didn't look like Barnsley brought many down. Quote Link to comment
