Bobthedog Posted September 7, 2018 Report Share Posted September 7, 2018 I'm surprised they let him do the rugby as until Bristol Bears cam knocking he was openly a Bath rugby fan. Does he ever go to any away games with city ? He could do with getting some tips . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 I don't give a monkeys what the young 'uns think. 'Dabbing' in my day was this and yes, it's a double entendre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Constant Rabbit Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Dabbing here means getting some 'Class A' gear on yer gums. I thought you were all suggesting the kids guard of honour should get monged and gurn their faces off. Glad it means something else back in Bristol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bar BS3 Posted September 8, 2018 Report Share Posted September 8, 2018 Oh and just to point out, my 2 nephews were in the “guard of honour” honour on Sunday, so I was keeping a specifically close eye on them, trying to catch any good photos or videos I could, for my sister. At no point did I see them all Dabbing, so unless I missed it somehow, I don’t think this even happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't exactly a secret that the typical age of a user of this forum is in the grey zone, and it can be an irritating feeling being out of the loop and not knowing what people (such as the 'yoofs') are on about. I try to tell people in reasonable detail what on earth these things are as it can be helpful for some. Obviously some like to pick it apart but it's up to them; I don't expect them to suddenly love it just because I've explained it. Plus I was on one boring ass train from Paddington to Truro yesterday so it was a nice way of killing the time. Yet in a following post you say you're 21, so in reality you're almost as near to approaching the 'grey zone' yourself as you are close in age to these primary school 'dabbers'. I suspect there's a whole generation below you who already think of you as not only 'old', but laugh at you as an out of touch fuddy duddy. I trust you only 'know the trends' because your young nephew has explained them to you as, frankly, you're far too old now to be following them yourself. 21 is not 'yoof' and you'll be joining us in the 'grey zone' before you know it - if you're lucky and it doesn't all fall out first, that is.

It's a very contrived thing that's been done at Bris rugby for some years. It's artificial and unsuited to a football crowd. Last Friday versus Barff, he made numerous requests during stoppages in play for the fans in S21 to wave to the tv camera by the touch in goal line. Totally contrived. As for the rest of his act, I still cannot hear most of what is said over the wonderful Ashton Gate public address. SL built a very good stadium with cheap PA. Errr, he absolutely didn’t because Richard ‘Slick’ Pitt is the stadium announcer at the Rugby games and has been for 16 years!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 Suspicious of a middle aged bloke who wears a snapback because he's bald, and who calls himself downsy because his real names Ian. All a bit midlife crisis. Also he's rubbish. How come its always the ones that are good at their job that get fired from city? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I have met Downsy many times at quiz nights etc in Portishead and he is amiable enough, although it may not come across on our PA system, he is very adept with the microphone and he was particularly good at our "Soap Box racing" here. When my wife got me hospitality for my birthday last season, he came rushing up to us and welcomed us personally as he recognised our faces, which I thought was a nice touch and he went on to read my name out in the birthday list at half time, the first time in 50 years, so I am a little biased. I do think this thread may be reflects the age group of the people who post here. Whether it is "dabbing", games, music played, generally that stuff isn't aimed at us, it would be more interesting to hear what the 5 -14 year olds think of him and all those antics. I am sure there were many dissenting voices amongst our sort of age group when the club stopped playing "A Walk in the Black Forest" and "Red Red Robin" back in the 70's, we aren't there for this stuff, but that doesn't mean there isn't a younger group who enjoy the whole package. If it keeps them interested and wanting to come back then great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIchard does the actual game still but downsy does the pre-match thing on the big screen. Some of this stuff is also shared on social media. Comes across as a mix between a baseball cap wearing Alan Partridge and a middle aged school teacher trying to be 'down with the kids'. i am sure he is a nice guy but it just doesn't work for me at the rugby or the footie.

I just wish he wouldn't shout so much. Does my head in. In fact (old man comment coming up...), why can't we have some decent music playing before the game and at half time and ditch all the irritating chatter? We don't need to be prepped or psyched up before a game by the faux-enthusiasm. This is not commercial radio where everyone's pretending to be happy and is contractually bound to love everything and everyone. Let things happen organically. Miserable git post ends. Must be some sort of regulation, because can't think of any other reason why in most instances we need music pre-game. Now I obviously make an exception for the "CHeer up Holloway" song just before kickoff, but that's about it. We used to have goal music I recall, unsure when we got rid but happy we did- can't we do it with most pre-game music at minimum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Bristol - Bath game the club gave three choices for the style of music to be played in the pre-match build up to cut out so much yabbering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
