Rudolf Hucker Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 24 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: … do you really think that Bristol City being mildly less cr*p than Rovers is more important than what is happening in the Ukraine? On a serious note, there is a subtle yet very important distinction in the addition of the definite article ‘the’ before ‘Ukraine’ which is critically important to the sovereignty of the Ukrainian nation-state. ’The Ukraine’ suggests a region with amorphous borders, such as ‘the Alps’ or ‘the Caucuses’, rather than an independent nation-state like, for example, Spain. In 1993, Ukraine’s government asked Russia’s government to abandon the Soviet-era practice of referring to Ukraine as “the Ukraine” and instead use only “Ukraine.” Putin continues to use “the Ukraine” inferring that the country is a territory of Russia, giving him justification for his action there. Ukrainians hate it. We should all use simply ‘Ukraine’. Now please, back to ripping the piss out of the 15ers and @Deluded Sag 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this despite us being absolutely woeful that season and having a manager who is only marginally less of a d*ck than Skeletor or Jaily Birdon. Remind us again how many times you’ve won that trophy? That’s a right, a big, fat lonely zero despite being eligible for each of the lash 30 seasons.

redysteadygo Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Only spoke to Phillips once. One lunch time I had gone to the Gate pre season to renew my season ticket. Whilst driving out towards Ashton Road the open top car in front stopped and the male driver signalled another open top car driven by a lady, coming into the Gate, to stop and then proceeded to have a conversation. After waiting patiently for a minute or so I got out and politely asked the driver to pull over in order that I could get back to work. It was Phillips, he looked at me as if I was a piece of sh** on his shoe. I got back in my motor and waited patiently for him to move. It was lucky I was in a firm's motor or I would have rammed the arrogant sod after being kept waiting for what seemed an age before he pulled away. He holds my record for being the most contemptible person, in the shortest contact time, I have ever "met". 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t that what his solicitor usually says? Or his wife was confused when she phoned 999 in a state of panic & said he’s hitting me, now she can’t recall the incident at all & doesn’t want to press charges, something like that? Or my brother borrowed my car without my permission & was driving it without insurance or a driving licence. Etc, etc, etc.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinmans Love Child Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 I had a Twitter debate with Phillips a couple of years back (I'm not on it now) where he got very upset that he hadn't been included in some City Legends event, the long and short of it is he felt he was a City Legend and I felt he wasn't! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't take it personally - he really didn't like your club by the time he left. His celebrations after the JPT area final victory made that quite clear. At Rovers he came across as a difficult, but not unlikeable, character. I have the utmost admiration for him as a goalkeeper. You mean you fancied him… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect you are one in many that don't think he's near Legend status. If I'm in a good mood when asked, I'd say decent, but not much more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Rocker Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 44 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: Phillips was an excellent shot stopper and organiser. Main weakness was crosses, but if he had overcome this he would have been a very good championship-level keeper. Also appears to have been a difficult character - left Rovers after challenging the management over the keeper training facilities and arrangements. Also left City after falling out with Gary Johnson, although who hasn't? He actually said this happened to him in a BBC interview on Points West. Hit from behind as well - cowardly stuff. Well like I said, I believe he was well treated by club and fans; as far as I could make out, his problem was his own inability to accept losing his place to a far better player. By the time Flapper had moved on to pastures inferior over at the Tinpottery, Adriano Basso (for it was he) had long established himself firmly as 'Bristol's number one', with Chris Weale as the revered 'Bristol's number two'. Even after the histrionics, Phillips benefited from a generous testimonial, culminating in a well-attended game down at Clevedon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which probably tells you the standard of goalkeepers you've had over the years. Phillips was a decent Goalkeeper for mid to upper league one teams, but obviously lacking in several areas. We replaced him with someone who was a good Championship keeper who also lacked in several areas to get the step above. Not sure why anyone is really responding with vitriol to this stuff as the best he's got is a period of time when they were playing in Twerton and apparently good. A JPT win and having our League One 'Keeper from us when we didn't want him anymore. I don't even remember Twerton because I was about 5, and no one under the age of 30 can really remember playing them in the league. It's laughable really.

Martyn played for England and was recognized as one of the best keepers in the PL. I imagine some of your older contemporaries also wish they couldn't remember Twerton. C*ty took some real hammerings there and the 1989/90 season is still a source of real and obvious distress and even trauma for them. I’m giving you more respect than you deserve here, but I don’t think anyone here will argue that Martyn is probably the best keeper to have played for a Bristol club in the last 30 years. Shit moustache, excellent keeper. Basso was an example of player, club and time all fitting perfectly. It’s happened with us, it’s happened with you on multiple players. I’m sure, for example, Tom Nichols never hit heights elsewhere that he did with you. Players sometimes move on and can’t hit those heights again - to not acknowledge that is to not realise a lot of football is psychological. However, as someone who was at Twerton in 1990 I can assure you I’m well over it as are practically all city fans. To parallel - I got blown out by a girl I fancied in 1990. I got married to a better looking and all round better person since. I see the girl sometimes and she’s still wallowing around saying how she was all that 33 years ago. In reality, she’s lost her teeth, looks ropey and her glory days are long gone. The question is, why would I care when my life has moved on and is demonstrably better than hers by every metric? It’s not a trauma, I just feel sorry for her (and by extension, you) 9 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so long ago, that I barely remember when your team were a threat - yet alone a rival - to us. Still, ancient history is all you have to cling on to, what with your laughable ground, poor support and constant embarrassments. If you think Steve Phillips is any way a comparable keeper to Adriano Basso, it shows you know as little about the game as most of your fellow 15ers: the vast majority of whom, haven't attended a Rovers game for years. Don't cry too much though about your team's constant abject failure and patheticness. Give this disc a spin: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During your spell as a non league club, I seem to remember you lost 2-0 to Bath City in the FA Trophy. Was that at Trumpton as well? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
