    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Isn't the reason caution is being suggested rather than an overnight return to 'normal' because there is so little evidence either way. We are all basically part of a huge live trial. Hopefully as things are opened up we don't see an increase in hospitalisations but with so many unknowns and so...

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    No idea but again there's plenty of people saying this isn't the way to protest without suggesting any alternative.

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    Would absolutely agree that the kids smashing the police station with skateboards who look about 14 had little idea what the protest was about and just saw an excuse to cause trouble. But if that's the case you can't then place the blame for violence on those genuinely protesting can you? The...

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    This is an interesting point. We've seen protests about all sorts of things over the years, and quite a lot of larger scale ones over the last couple of years. What was the last time a peaceful protest achieved the desired result on any major issue? The last protest I recall having a significant...

    Bristol kill the bill protest

    I've seen it blamed on Antifa, BLM and Extinction Rebellion so far which is I think a full house!

    Pretty much the same for me. Listened to Lamptey pretty much since its started and its just that, a conversation between mates. Can't really get into SBE, not that its bad, just not my thing. Good to see multiple options though and that they aren't all just copies of each other.

    Coronavirus Thread (Off Topic, Politics)

    Its not 'restrict everything', people need to move away from this all or nothing way of looking at things. Saying we may need to continue wearing facemasks on public transport or not ram as many people as possible into pubs and restaurants, to give a couple of examples, is nothing like saying we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I had that one. Was working for a company whose client base was supposed to be entirely in Hampshire. They took on a client in London and expected me to travel there, with traffic it added 6 hours or more a day. Of course the travel time wasn't paid as "our quote wouldn't be competitive if we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Got a couple of mates who are on 4 day weeks, one has been for over 10 years, the other more recent. Both say the same thing @Evo1883 mentioned on another thread, makes a huge difference as work no longer dominates your life. They also say their companies have seen increased productivity and...

    Which players would you keep for next season?

    There's not many players I'd be upset about losing to be honest but equally the replacements would need to be better and that's not a given with any signing. And of course its a lot easier to list who you'd sell on here but the reality is you need a willing buyer. Which players are out of...

    Which players would you keep for next season?

    You've got to be practical. If we can bring in a new #1 striker at least one of Godden an Walker become a backup. Or even both of them if we go one up front. Would they be prepared to take that role? Even if they would you have to look at the impact on budget. Biamou as a cheap 4th or 5th...

    Robins reaction - so what’s going to change

    Not sure that's the best example. We've hardly made a major leap forward with Marosi and Wilson!

    The 2nd dose numbers should be going up significantly in the next couple of weeks as well.

    Taxi cancelled for Robins

    Agreed. I think the Robins not going mental on the touchline complaint is a bit of a non starter. Firstly that has never been his style so he isn't going to start now. Secondly Viveash takes that role.

    Taxi cancelled for Robins

    Its a fair question. None of first team squad who aren't playing and / or coming back from injury seem to be getting minutes in the U23s. Are the squads being kept separate as part of the covid protocols as I don't remember it being like that in previous seasons.

    Taxi cancelled for Robins

    Not sure what Robins can do about players missing sitters. Let be honest we should have been 1 up in the first couple of minutes and 2 if not 3 up inside 25 minutes and game over. Not excusing the performance at all as it was all downhill from there but unless he comes out of retirement and...

    Biamou still has lots to offer

    He's not up to Championship standard. At best he's a 4th / 5th choice and that's possibly being generous. But Robins knows that doesn't he? Hence him being told in the summer he was nowhere near the squad and could leave. Or do we really think Robins has seen something this season which has...
