Dave L Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Red Goblin,I am sure you are a very nice man, but you really are on the wrong planet ! The Great Goblin has been entertaining us for many years with his fairly obsessive take on the monarchy and the British Class system. As a fellow republican (though a considerably more moderate one) I salute him, and send greetings to him up there on planet Tharg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likewise Sir, I salute your entertaining posts, informed viewpoints and literary skills. I'm not actually on planet Tharg though I'm at home in the Goblin grotto with Mrs Goblin and the mini Goblin is out somewhere playing football with some elves, trolls and other assorted sprites.

maidenheadred Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 till people have seen the cctv we should all reserve judgement.we'll agree to disagree on this. but do you feel brooker, orr, brown and partridge should be sacked then?.* on the cctv point - Of course I realise footballers sometimes get in spots because of who they are, etc - but 4 people just pleaded guilty. Means they were wrong, and broke the law due to thuggish acts. You can queue up the excuses for them because of who they are (or who they play for..!) - but 4 people saying "guilty" can't be ignored. * for the "romeos is the OK Coral" point - makes them stupid as well as thuggish is that's really the case (my opinion - we'll definitely disagree on that one I think!). * for the 'do you think they should be sacked?" question - no, not quite. Affray isnt serious enough for that, and they were not training the next day. Anything above ABH and I'd say yes - whilst what they do on their night off isnt our business, they still do have *some* responsibility to act as ambassadors to the club (considering how much we pay them, and how many kids look up to them..) and GBH and above, or getting hammered on a school night would be stepping over the line, in my opinionso i'll cheer when they score, when they play well, etc. But as individuals - I see 4 blokes guilty of brawling, and i'll only change my opinion of them being thugs when someone proves they arent. And they pleaded guilty, so it wont be a court! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewy4england Posted July 31, 2006 Report Share Posted July 31, 2006 Everyone slags off Stewart for alledged boozing which is completely unsubstantiatedBrooker can't put a foot wrong 'cos he is a really good player but I bet for the amount of time on the pitch the goals to minutes ratio is comparable to stewart's.His pre season form despite playing with the second string is pretty good so he's at least worth a place on the bench.

cidergeorge Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 RG you really should have been born in the 17th C. And you have a handy knack of ignoring questions as well. Who did OC GIVE control to when he decided he no longer wanted to be King ooops sorry Lord Protector? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Mosquito Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 RG you really should have been born in the 17th C. And you have a handy knack of ignoring questions as well. Who did OC GIVE control to when he decided he no longer wanted to be King ooops sorry Lord Protector? I agree, I was born about 350 years too late to have witnessed the liberation of Bristol from the royalist tyranny and to have lived as a free citizen of the Republic of England. As for your question, Oliver Cromwell died as Lord Protector - he never abdicated, it is argued that his untimely death, did mean that the English Republican Army High command agreed to appoint Richard Cromwell as his successor. I personally would have preferred the rabid anti-royalist General Harrison as successor to Oliver Cromwell. Everyone slags off Stewart for alledged boozing which is completely unsubstantiatedBrooker can't put a foot wrong 'cos he is a really good player but I bet for the amount of time on the pitch the goals to minutes ratio is comparable to stewart's.His pre season form despite playing with the second string is pretty good so he's at least worth a place on the bench.There is probably not a supporter at this club that would not wish Marcus Stewart success in scoring the goals to help take BCFC to our first Championship since 1955 this coming season. I'm sure that if Marcus Stewart continues to do his best to impress Gary Johnson with his work rate and commitment then he'll get his chance again.
