I tried Wiki and they haven't even got FGR ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elhombrecito Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Thought I'd do a search to definitively conclude which stadium was higher: The Hawthorns The New Lawn So that's cleared that up then. You're welcome. 1 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh Louie louie Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Ten points off the top six. 14 off the top 3. I sense a joyless spring. He was babbling on they had turned the corner and got rid of the wasters. Then they get beat by oldham. Cut right out for that job. never make a fortune teller.

weepywall Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 The Barton Post match interview is worth a watch, apparently they had 2 stonewall penalties turned down in the first half, "the lino needs to go to specsavers" and "the gasheads turned up in great numbers" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the table is a bit misleading for Ashton Gate as the Bristol Channel has a high tidal range. At times the ground must almost be below sea level.

Bristol Rob Posted February 9, 2022 Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 Can't remember who the player was, but I think it might have been someone in the England squad back in 2010 when the world cup was in SA, who had been moaning about playing and training at high altitude. It was pointed out to them that there were currently running, on a beach, no more that a few steps from the sea. They never got it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're pretty much at the same height as the city ground (+/- about a foot), and it gets a bit concerning when you occasionally see the river by Ashton Bridge/Create Centre come within touching distance of the path by the conker trees.

One of them was moaning that Pitman was a waste of money the other day, 'till it was pointed out that he'd scored a couple, provided a few assists and there was good value for money. Wonder how much money (in addition to his help in the Championship) the 300k on Snake contributed when his little chip provided the assist to Korey who scored the goal that beat Utd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there was a time, possibly two seasons ago, when they hadn't gained a point when they'd not had a penalty or, had a player of the opposition sent off. Think Tom F posted that. Quickly looked at a reference site. 16/17 = 12 pens 17/18 = 4 18/19 = 9 19/20 = 8 20/21 = 9 21/22 = 7 to date. These are in all competitions, obviously not many competitions. Did I read the average was 7 penalties per club. We sadly are nowhere near that total. Preston might average more. They do have or have had a knack of getting opposition players sent off against them, particularly at the rugby ground. I've see the reaction of the coaches, players and numpties in the crowd at the most innocuous challenges which have resulted in the players first booking, presumably followed by the targeting of that player, I wish we were more vociferous in our reactions/actions in demanding fouls/penalties but, we're not. I think this year under the guidance of JB, they have had more pens against and surprisingly for such a timid character, more of his players sent off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of those 7 to date only 3 have been in the League. Compared to 6 given against us in the League. You guys been awarded 1 and had 7 awarded against you.

Correct. Nice to see them literally turning into Joey Barton FC. Dirty bastards! Soon be everyones 91st favourite club. Few more chants from their fans of “Joey Barton, he hits who he wants” in the coming weeks when he’s up in Court will help their obvious desire to be detested.
