Bristol Oil Services Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Our are lads out on the lash (and the flash) for a day at the races anyone know? Or has Nige binned that off after last night's showing? And I just see Brighton's Tony Bloom has won up there - good job Steve and his Bristol Sports stable have steered clear of that sort of thing, I'd say.

Basics I used to be a defender don't let the guy you are marking score simples. Man marking know the shirt number of your opponent and stick to them like glue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not watched it yet, so without giving the game away did he win with a horse he owns or on a bet he placed? A propos of nothing, I always think the comparison between Brighton's owner and ours is instructive. Both are professional gamblers (the stock market merely being a more respectable form of betting than the horses at Kempton or the dogs at, er, Eastville) but there the similarity ends. For Brighton's owner is a raffish gambler at the races as well as a poker player, Racing Post in one hand, vodka martini shaken not stirred in the other, a tall tale or two to tell. Probably with a leggy "companion" on his arm. Wiki even tells me his nickname is The Lizard! Say no more. Meanwhile Uncle Steve, an accountant, peers at his Xcel spreadsheets (sorry Mr Fevs) and watches his stocks and shares, FT in one hand, cup of tea in the other. There are no tall tales to tell, never mind leggy companions. His nickname is Uncle. Sexy Brighton, dull Bristol - the owners, that is, but also their football clubs. To make matters worse, both bet the house on young, up and coming, English coaches that no-one had heard of. Brighton are now in the Premier League. We are not. PS. A nag called Dr Duffy ran in the 2.50 at Cheltenham yesterday. Pulled up lame Edited March 16, 2022 by Merrick's Marvels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not an accountant in Guernsey. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled up lame I always think that clubs the size of ours (and Brightons historically) only get a shot at promotion every 5 or 6 years from the Championship and if you don't take it then the other 4/5 years are about staying in the division. Sadly Brighton took their chance and we have failed to take either of the two we've had. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funnily enough, I was thinking about him last night. Is he still with Barnsley? He wasn't in their squad. Perhaps the two are connected.
