Piccolo Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 13 minutes ago, Marina's Rolls Royce said: hooligan noun a violent young troublemaker, typically one of a gang. So going back quite a few years I was having my usual pre-match pint or two at The Try Again - a really peaceful City pub when a small group of Millwall supporters burst in hit the nearest people and ran out. One was a young lad and the other was an old fella who suffered a cut above his eye. These were not "like minded people"- just people wanting to watch a game of football in peace. Hooligans pretending to support any team be it Bristol City or Millwall are, imo, absolute scum and do not deserve respect from anyone. If they want to fight then do it elsewhere and not in pretence of being a football fan. I like your history lesson but equally despise your comment regarding respect for these sub humans and NO - they are not "decent blokes". I did not say you had to respect them or that they deserve respect. I said that whether people like it or not, they do command respect from many in their communities… and this was linked to my challenge to the stereotype of all hooligans being right-wing White blokes. Ie Tiny commanded respect, despite him the opposite to the stereotype. Furthermore, I said those that I had personally met… many seemed like decent blokes overall. They were firefighters, ex military, bank managers, one was a medic!! I cannot be sure, but they seemed only interested in like minded individuals. To be fair, this was in the late 90s and early 2000s, when I went away to most games. Perhaps things have changed, society feels a lot more obnoxious overall nowadays. I find most modern football crowds obnoxious now, sadly, not just the hooligans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say that is a poor reflection on the recruitment standards of those jobs and institutions rather than a positive reflection on the character of the hooligans. Semi-organised mob-violence aside, for me the big question in today's game is can we put out a front 6 that can play our own game, keep the ball moving on the deck, and create enough chances for our forwards to finish? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts has no Championship experience and played very well against a poor League One team. Would be disappointed if NP saw that combination of factors as reason to drop Pring.

IAmNick Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Fine balance between players being competitive as they know their place is up for grabs, and terrified of making a mistake as they'll get dropped immediately or trying much too hard, neither of which you want! Pring didn't have a great game but I'm not sure he deserved dropping, even though Roberts was quality - he'll know he's on a bit of a timer though. Pressure is a very delicate and individual balance.

Supersonic Robin Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Understandable that Pring keeps his place when you consider performances over the least 12 months. I'm more surprised that Mehmeti isn't starting ahead of Bell - I thought Mehmeti was outstanding against Oxford.. Really nice to have the 2 options though.

An 84th minute winner would indeed be painful however, as I don't really care once a player has left the club Joe Bryan scoring it wouldn't mean anything more than their other players. And just for the record I'm a lot more optimistic than a lot of people on this forum and believe City have better players than at least 75% of the teams in the Championship and will win today.

OldlandReddies Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I'd play Roberts in front of Pring. Pring better defender and Roberts forward runs and delivery is excellent. Sam Bell and Nakhi can mix it up top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I foresee some similar tactical matchups though dunno if their midfield as good as Preston. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 (edited) Millwall are back 3, with wingbacks, 3 in CM and then Flemming and Bradshaw up front. Flemming is not really a striker.. that central area could be quite congested again. 2 v 1 in wide areas an obvious advantage for us but that in turn can leave us or a side forcing it a bit vulnerable in transition. An early goal probably would help us a lot. Edited August 12, 2023 by Mr Popodopolous Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
