Malago Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I see BBC being as “impartial” as they are in politics by having city fan Jonathan Pearce on commentary creaming over them constantly. Somebody’s not too enamoured with his commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spudski Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 I thought the most interesting thing he said, which strongly suggested he'd been informed by someone above ( imo Tins) is that any Coach coming here, will be told to play a certain way, dictated to by those in charge, in a way that had been ingrained in the Academy. Words to that affect. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TomThumb84 Posted January 16 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 16 An amazing display of non-stop verbalisation of Bristol City history. Used the entire 94 minutes to offer the nation an insight into our past, current and future in a documentary/infomercial-esque fashion. I think if you have made more then 20 appearances for us post-war, you got a mention, and if you didn’t then you would have done in extra-time. A one man crusade to educate the country in a whirlwind attempt to get them up to speed as we have gone through middle two division anonymity for 40 odd years. God Bless you JP, and C’mon you Reds. 22 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Reflecting again, I probably learned LESS from a David Woods book than I did from Pearce waxing about the side this evening. A masterclass in 'you'll never guess who I grew up watching'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SydneyCity Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 There was so much gold in his commentary, and I don't want to focus on a negative, but I liked his description of Mehmeti: "…an extremely talented player but stubbornly inconsistent." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am almost 100% certain that if the 4th official would have held up 6 minutes instead of 4 then he would have woven this into his City-mentary. Just imagining Danny Gabbidon’s face trying to add any value to the subject of Max O’Leary’s school years.
