Andy Horsman Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I know that some will question this suggestion immediately,but bear with me. Man Utd fans regularly sing still about their Gallic Genius Cantona, so why can't we revive this all-time City classic tribute to our Geordie Genius in time for our double-header with the Gas? It's not disrespectful to GJ as it refers to when Tinman played, and it was always a great favourite, paying tribute to a City playing legend.(and as a bonus it winds the gasheads up!!!!!)Your views please....

Cantona was French, played top flight and international football, was a good footballer, a legend at his club, and, won several major honours at the highest level. Where are he similarities.? Our squad has moved on since the dark days when Tinnion roamed the senate. Some players may know him as a sad, bitter, failed manager, one or two may remember him as an over hyped one footer, but the majority of the squad probably wouldn't have heard of him. Tinnion is no more a legend than Dave Martin, Gary Stanley, Gus Caesar, Alex Russell and all the other midfield journeymen we've had to put up with over the seasons.As far as I'm concerned it is a $h1t song about an overated footballer, and is best consigned to the football song scrap heap.Let us get behind the current players, perhaps they would appreciate it more.

For B Tinnions outstanding loyalty & contribution to BCFC over many years I think the man deserves 'City Legend' status, if it werent for his ill-fated stint in the managers chair - there would be very few City fans to dissagree with the label CITY LEGEND.

Not to the song, but to the player.

The similarity is in the "great player, legend at his club" line. Tinnion and Murray between them made this team for a number of years and he is one of the most wonderfully talented and loyal.. yes... loyal players I have ever seen in my (relatively) brief time supporting the club. To call him a journeyman is ludicrous in my opinion.But then, you know we disagree massively on this one - we have been here before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 In your opinion.Loyalty, or "the comfort zone" which he failed to break during his mangerial tenure? Contribution, One promotion, TWO relegations.Hmm, you really didnt like him did you mate..!Promotion - not down to one man alone, likewise - Relegations not down to one man either = Ridiculous Arguement.Loyalty? ... yeah thats what I'd call it mate. Comfort Zone? - an unfortunate 'club culture' at AG did develop thankfully now sorted (took a well known HAND GRENADE to do it though) -wouldnt put the blame on Tinman for it either (more to do with a group of pi$$heads) he had to play with for a while. - when I think of Tinman in terms of comfort on the pitch it was usually the feeling of confidence he created for fans & fellow players alike that when he had the ball 9 times out of 10 he'd do the right thing with it. Managerial role ... agreed thats when things turned sour - wasnt the man for the job, didnt have the hand-grenades etc & was badly let down by some who couldve/shouldve made his life in the hotseat a bit easier.. YES TINNION FAILED IN THE HOTSEAT.. but I cant believe how easily/eager some people seem to be to dismiss his achievements as a Great City Player.. (bet he loved BCFC a million times more than some critics erm, I mean (so-called) City supporters not too far from a pc keyboard right now!)

Arpaul asserts that he has supported City since 67/68, and therefore he demands our respect.........yet he suggests Tinnion was a 'journeyman' at our club, which implies to me either that he has personal 'issues' with Brian, or that he doesn't actually understand football or Bristol City Football Club.......in my humble opinion......

BristolCity1992 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Tinnion repersents Bristol City for me, to seem him after the game against Swansea made me relize just how much I loved him, it bought tears to my eyes, how many managers/players do you know that would react taht badly to a loss?

cidercity1987 Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 For us youngsters Tinnion is the closest to a City legend as we've seen (possible exception of Murray). The one thing I remember from my first City game is Tinnion running across to take a corner, clenching his fist to try and raise the fans.The man loved the club, played with passion and was one of our best players, so to say he was a journeyman is very disrespectful imo. But then I'm sure this argument has been done to death many times before. Still, yes I think it would be quality to sing his song. The main factor being that it tries to insult the Sagheads.

megansdad Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 Sure Gary Johnson would welcome a journeyman like Tinman into the squad with open arms- he is up there with the best I have seen at Ashton Gate over my time watching with the likes of Hunter, Gow, Whitehead Cheeseley, Merrick, Cormack, Cole in terms of ability and equal to any in terms of contribution to the club as a player. Remember Anfield???As regards the song watched a film on one of my many flights recently with the establishment of a fake college in the US Known as South Harmon Institute of Technology, where they had clearly heard the song and referred to themselves gleefully at S.h.i.t heads- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
