Tunley Legend Posted October 10, 2005 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 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 . . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Of The Dolman Posted October 10, 2005 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 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 !

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.

Alex_BCFC Posted October 12, 2005 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.

I have already said that I can see why those who watched City before the 90's do not see Tinnion as a legend as they had Ateyo, Cheesly etc. There are many more that deserve more praise but as I was not alive to see it, it is hard for me to do so. I'm speaking up for those who have watched City for 15 years or less. For us, or at least most of us, Tinnion is a legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
