ExiledAjax Posted January 4, 2023 Report Share Posted January 4, 2023 Very nice. Interesting chat around contracts near the end where he talks about being contracted to Cardiff on loan but being recalled by Forest. Lovely bloke, lovely interview.

One Team Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Great interview thanks @Shtanley! You sound like you’ve thrown in the towel though mate, don’t give up we do appreciate what you do. As for Albert, really good insight but wouldn’t say he’s a club legend. He played during 3 of the poorest seasons in recent memory, culminating in relegation. An icon perhaps, as he was one of very few bright points in those three years and clearly loves us, but legend? Not for me but great player. Thanks again @Shtanley. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted January 5, 2023 Report Share Posted January 5, 2023 Quality @Shtanleywhat a down to earth bloke. Would still have him down the right wing for the rest of the season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me but great player. Thanks again @Shtanley. For me, his club legend status was cemented during one of his first interviews, when he dropped in that some young ladies had flashed him their Bristols at the airport.

He'll never learn sadly. Adomah’s comments might alert some fans to the interference. You have a player practically begging to return to the club on a permanent deal, saying that he wants to help the club succeed, and SL refuses to re-sign them on the basis that they have left us in the past. The worrying part is, that at the time, Adomah would have been a huge improvement on what we had at the time and still wouldn’t complete the deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking back not sure Skuse would have improved us but may have been a decent squad addition. He'd even purchased a new house in Almondsbury (not his old one there) in expectation he'd be returning. One thing that did puzzle me slightly is that I always thought there was no love lost between Skuse and the Johnsons. He certainly wasn't a fan of GJ, for obvious reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The skuse one didn’t make much sense, from a playing point of view. Considering we already had Marlon Pack. Unless he was wanted as cover? A number of former players have kept their properties in the area, in the hope of returning later in their careers / after retirement. It shows the lack of progression we have made as a club, that we are considered an attractive place to live, but they have to leave in order to progress their careers.

underhanded Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 Cheers Stan, great listen. Can appreciate producing a pod every week (if not more) can be a slog, but for what it's worth OSIB is excellent. Your ability to host and interview is top notch as well, I may be bias because its city, but I find your work far more engaging than most of what I hear on mainstream TV and radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henry Posted January 6, 2023 Report Share Posted January 6, 2023 ‘To be fair..that’s football…and the rest is history’ Really enjoyed that. He still sounded like a young man. @Shtanleyhope you continue the podcast. You could give some professional interviewers tips on when to chip in and when to just let the guest speak. Any more ‘cider with..’ eps planned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second that. The Cider With's are always good value and hold up well vs 'proper' interviews. Definitely try and keep these semi-regular if you can even if OSIB goes on hiatus (very obvious you are getting bored with those!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shit ones can come back. I have enjoyed OSIB especially the Cider Withs but life is short, @Shtanley, so spend it doing what makes you happy. We'll get by.

Carey 6 Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) 500 up for Albert in the Championship. Still probably my joint favourite City player of all time. If he wasn’t there for those 3 seasons, Ashton Gate would’ve been a far more miserable place to go and watch football.

Lordofthebling Posted March 14, 2023 Report Share Posted March 14, 2023 I was obsessed with him I remember being sat amongst the Ghana fans at Craven cottage in my city shirt when he made his debut, just for a wave from Albert. Best chant of all time too. Weeee'vvveeeeee..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
