Admin Ian M Posted September 10, 2017 Admin Posted September 10, 2017 In @BobBobSuperBob's latest write up from last Thursday's Q&A Mark Ashton & Lee Johnson spoke about a big learn from last season being that although they thought they had set the rules, it turns out they hadn't actually. They tell us they absolutely have now, 100%, no doubt about it. So, as a bit of fun, what do we think these rules contain? I'm going with this as the opener: #1. Thou shalt not threaten to knock the gaffer out if he suggests he might substitute you. Any more?
BobBobSuperBob Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Good post Ian - glad you raised it as I Actually thought this came over as the most significant / most interesting statement / message of the evening I think the living within a reasonable distance of Bristol was probably one No Dads / Uncles or brothers to post on the forum ? Don't borrow teamates cars if you don't have a full licence ? I think there clearly been a watershed emanating from events last season and that the players and staff have been now left under no illusion about the rules & culture expected
