Depends entirely what is said.

If you are abusive you deserve it.

However I genuinely don’t think they still understand how many think sacking Pearson was a poor decision.

And that nobody agreed we had a top 6 squad! 

I think Liam’s just found that out today.

I noticed I was blocked by him well over a year ago, I can honestly say at that point I hadn’t said anything negative about him. He seems to be behaving like a spoilt kid, pretty pathetic really.

Well he is a spoilt kid isn’t he?

I don’t like him and want him gone but I can understand him blocking abuse. That said, he must surely be getting the message by now.

There's a freedom of speech but there isn't forced listening - he doesn't have to listen to anyone.

Oh yes he does just remember we are the fans of the club so yes he does have to listen. Let's hope this new government bill gives us fans more say on decisions being made at our clubs.

I mean, I'm not fully sure we would be in the danger zone as far as a Regulator is concerned.

Are we paying our bills and on time? Yes.

Have we moved ground? No.

Possibly the badge issue.

It's more about at this stage, existential risks to clubs. This isn't a defence of varied aspects  but more my view on red flags for a Regulator.

Possibly engagement with fans is one.

This is really scraping the barrel 

Man harrassed on one form of social media and blocks people is then harrassed on another form of social media for blocking people.

Doesn't matter who it is, no one gets to abuse someone else 

Depends why he is blocking.

Blocking for fair and valid criticism while it is of course his right, would be less than ideal.

Derby didn't move grounds but under a different owner pretty sure that comes under it. Wouldn't Ashton gate as it's under a separate company and not owned by the football club itself? But I suppose in a way still protected under the same owner.

The badge issue would definitely I should of thought.

Yeah badge, would have to look into the wider remit tbh, dip in and out.

Ashton Gate Limited was founded in 2005 iirc. Certainly wasn't sold and leased back.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, frustrating football decisions wouldn't necessarily be a matter for the Regulatory. Badge, engagement and maybe the ground via AGL moreso.

No it doesn't 'depend' it's not 'less than ideal' either

The guy has agency and choice and even if it's a bot blocker or X being shit, then that's not anyone's business either as no one has a right to abuse someone else

That's his choice albeit Benny on that video I posted said "If it's fair criticism you've got to take it" or words to that effect. Social media didn't exist then of course.

Abuse is fine to block for, his choice but if people are feeding back in an appropriate manner their disappointment about and thoughts on the current sacking etc..and he's blocking for that, a bit disappointing.

Put another way if he's blocking for fair criticism from fans of the club he owns.

Well he has agency to do this, and I in turn have agency to find his thinner skin than before disappointing.

So disappointing to see you caught up in this

I don't have a great deal of issues with the Lansdowns, especially Steve but I feel they have run their course here. Jon I have a greater problem with as I question his competence at running a club based on his stepping up a decade ago and subsequent events and he is only really there in that role because he is the son of the owner.

If they are getting abuse block away. Otoh engaging with fair or constructive criticism or taking it on board might not be the worst idea IMO.

The Lansdownes have run their course at AG.

They will be gone at some stage soon. Ive been very anti Lansdown for nearly 2 years now and for good reasons. I do apologise for my stance. Many others also now see what a shambles this club is in. 

Apologies, but fans do need to wake up to what has been going on within Bristol Sport for several years now.

What's ' not even abuse' to you, may be damaging to another.

Just because someone is on social media doesn't give carte blanche

Something this forum seems to have completely forgotten 

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

 

“you and Jon made a great decision”


That’s what was said. 

This is something the Karen society would class as damaging. Everything is damaging to them. That’s why one opinion which is different to theirs is damaging. That’s not abuse. It’s an opinion. But you can only have those in a Karen society if it agrees with the Karen. Otherwise it’s abuse. 

In fact being blocked for having an opinion is damaging.  
 

By the way. You’re quite right, and I’m sorry if this comes across as damaging, it’s just my opinion.

There. You can block me now. 

 

Please.

A few choice words never hurt anyone,of course nowadays it’s “abuse”

I was pro Lansdowns before they started this Bristol sport crap Our club doesn't feel like one club no more and now because of this appointment Jon has split the fan base yet again !!

Morning

Thanks for responding.

I've no idea what a 'Karen Society' is and presume it's a pejorative statement about something?

Getting blocked on one form of social media and moaning about it on another is odd.

Rather than ' How dare they' and moan about it

A better response is'fair does'and get on with life'

The Karen society you've mentioned would then surely be those that have got the hump from being blocked?

 

 

Don’t think the comment was ever “how dare they”, that’s a very damaging statement to make, as it presuming people’s feelings and then commenting on it. Very odd. 
 

Just to add to this, you start with “no idea what a Karen society is”

but then end with what the Karen society is. Odd, since you don’t know what it is to begin with, but then have put people in there by the end.

 

happy remembrance day everyone.
Lest we forget

Don't get the problem really, if someone was talking about you somewhere and you didn't agree with what they were saying surely you have the right to block them for your own sake. Wether it's the truth or not doesn't give people the right to say some of the things I've seen. 

If they abuse you by all means block them. I'd do the same. But if you block people just because they disagree with you it suggests you are not open to debate. An odd way to improve communication as Jon claimed he wants to do.

On here I will give a like to someone I disagree with if I think they have made their case well. Why on earth would I block them? I have to be open to the possibility that they might be right otherwise what's the point of debate?

It will be interesting to see whether Jon ever addresses the fans face to face. Would he have people escorted from the room if they disagreed with him?

I hope Jon Lansdown would be at the next Fans Forum. Who knows however- he should ideal world, be there rain or shine, good results or bad etc.

A quick one for those who went to I didn't go to any, away day Q&A or similar with SL. Was he more open to debate or was it fairly autocratic? Fans who disagreed or challenged in a constructive manner, debated with or?

That sounds like praise to me.😉

They're so touchy, them Lansdowns.

I should add to this it’s SL I was blocked by, not JL.

What about the way the Lansdowns treated Pearson?

Some would argue that was tantamount to bullying.

Anyway, what appalling campaign? I've not seen anything, anywhere.

Is it online? If so, can you provide a link?

Of course I get what you're saying, though I'm sure they get for more interaction then any of us do on here, and it must get a bit much at times, still well with in their rights to do what they want on their own social media channels. And communicate the right way ( which obviously they haven't done recently)

Could well be onto something Sir.

This extremely irritating newbie poster and the people running this club, appear to have an astonishingly similar pov on everything.

Bully? This isn't about bullying this about a bloke thats a total car crash in the position he's holding. No way should be a chairman this isnt just about the pathetic sacking of Pearson but other decisions made at the club IE merchandise. Ask yourself why atmosphere is crap at Ashton gate that's because of decisions being made at the top. It's about the bigger picture.

There’s no great conspiracy, it’s simply an already banned user coming on to OTIB with another new account to hopefully coax others into abusing him so he can report them and get them banned themselves.

Sounds like a 🔔 

Is that allowable to call a 🔔 a 🔔 if they clearly are a 🔔?

If not I will take the short term ban cos - what a 🔔

I wish Jon lansdown could have been at QPR to see the vicious display of disaffection shown by all the Bristol city fans 🤣

There were chants of We want our Nige back reportedly.

Think people will reserve judgment until Manning has had a little while in charge.

However if it goes badly, interesting times could await.

It’s an unfortunate reality that successful organisations are open, inclusive and welcoming of differing views and challenge. 
Organisations which try to stifle debate, refuse to listen to challenge and close down discussions all too often fail to deliver their objectives. If you think about it the reasons are obvious. 
it is pretty clear to me which Bristol City has become and the likely consequences for success in the pitch. I hope I am wrong, but I don’t expect much under the current regime.

I'd say this is not uncommon in the Football industry, certainly the higher you go.
