One Game at a Time on Pasoti

[pafcprogs]

Hi there

I write a  regular match review and preview  article on Pasoti and have just posted the  one for Tuesday nights game.

It is a tongue in cheek  look at our opponents  and comes from an unashamedly green perspective but also tries to include some historic references and information. I am always happy to correct anything historically inaccurate.

I think it is fair to say we are enjoying being back playing against some proper teams again....despite it being less rewarding that we believe it should have been for us  so far, but early days. We play a fluid brand of football but we do give up chances to score....

We also have a history with Mr Mehmeti....surprised he isn't playing more for you as he has always played well against us...a real, handful.

 

Here is the link to the article...best of luck after the  game.....but hopefully we can break our away duck.....although I am sure you feel the same about the home one.

Interesting read! Small correction the players who saved the club and ripped up their contract in the 80s are known the Ashton Gate Eight, not Bristol City Eight

Is the part on bristol babe(s) correct, I thought it was down to the age of the team rather than a plane made in bristol?

It was Bedminster's nickname if I recall krekly and continued to be used, for a while, when they amalgamated with City in 1900.

Once we joined the Football League, we became known as the Bristol Babes - being the newest and youngest member of the League, although it probably had more to do with a rubbish alliteration.

Some further research shows the n babe nickname far predates the plane, so probably that was inspired by the club  ( as well as its small size), so thanks for the help. Also have vbe=been advised Rab Douglass now goalkeeping coach at Arbroath and still makes the bench at almost 50....

I recall Rab's one game for Argyle at the Gate - he played out of his skin.

Argyle always seem to have decent keepers, Larrieu springs to mind

Hazard is proving a more than capable deputy for Cooper, although he is back in full training now so I would think will be back in the next month or so.

 

Need to get him back in the shop window!

Forest do indeed have a strong link with Garibaldi, but he was such a beloved figure in England in the nineteenth century (as a populist rebel - a bit like Che Guevara a century later) that many things were named after him. Many towns have streets named after him and he was particularly associated with red shirts, hence football links arose.

Edit - and despite the comment in the pasoti article, Garibaldi is I think generally regarded as a socialist and hero of the left, rather than right wing. Above all he fought for Italian independence and unification.

The amount of pop up ads on Pasoti is terrifying. Like a game trying to find all the Xs to click
