Tunley Legend Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Already told him everyone still thinks he is a legend. He seemed suprised! don't know why, the man's services for the club are second to noneI can think of at least eight people who may rank slightly higher in terms of the personal sacrifice they (and their families) made for the good of the club.

For crying out loud the bloke was well paid by our football club for 13 years. Good luck to him in wherever his future career takes him but all this sentimental claptrap about being a "great servant" - how many servants do you know on £5k or whatever per week? - and finest player to play for the club is a load of bullcrap in my opinion. Onwards and upwards as a current employee was heard to say a couple of weeks ago.Now I've got that off my chest I am very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin phantom Posted October 10, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 If we are to look at City over the past 20 years then he IS NOT A LEGEND, over the past 5-10 years (for the younger fans) then yes he is....Maybe one day . . . .

Dan Of The Dolman Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 The way that some of the fans treated him at the end was diabolical surely we got to get him back in some role at the club he is Mr Bristol City after all and he did score that goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted October 10, 2005 Admin Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 He was treated badly as the team had lost all guidance and any self belief !Lets not paper over the recent cracks ! Wea re still in problems caused by his selections....Yes he was a good servant to the club but put hat up against 1982 ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedAlex Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 Tins empties the bins round our way now. Shame really but I suppose he has to have an income to pay the large insurance premiums for his left foot, Policy started the day after the Anfield goal!

redrebel Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 i know Tins was a legend as a player but its time to get on with life without him. Gary johnson is the man in charge now .you lot pee me off keeping on about tins .Totally agree. The man took us from play off finalists to the relegation zone in one and a bit season's. And has left Gary Johnson with a mountain to climb to get this club back on track.Southend top of the league says something about the quality and emphasises just how poor a job Tinnion did.He's gone and as for suggestions about getting him back in some capacity, people must be joking.For too long we have been a retirement home both for players and ex players.Any spare money must go to Gary Johnson to improve the squad.

Simon Lambley Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 I know we have now got Magic , But what is so wrong with people asking after tinnionit's just curiosity.I believe that people have a right to say they think he was a legend etc ,.What i don't understand is why they get slagged off for it. For example if a long standing colleague or aquaintance lost there job through error or own judgementshould they then be totally wiped away.No , SOME people still have feelings , memories of tins that they want to treasure , whats so wrong with that.."

Alex_BCFC Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 Some disgraceful comments here. Just remember all the great moments he gave us watching City. If it wasn't for him putting the ball on Scott Murray's toe and time again, he wouldn't have been half the player he was. This was one of the many great things he did. He could have left the club to play in the division above if he really wanted to but stayed loyal to City and gave everything. I will always remember he coming over to take corners by the Ateyo and getting the crowd going. Legend for me, not for others and that's fair comment. Going on the last 10/15 years he is the closest thing we have to a legend for City. We are moving on but we don't have to suddenly stop remembering him. At the end of the day he was dropped in at the deep end to a club who had just lost a playoff final. He wasn't the man for the job and the board got it wrong.
