Guest whitey_03 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 This post is for all the lads who who are planning to play on the Sunday against the Scotland team. Unfortunately my mates have pulled out this game at the last minute, and have left me to pick up the pieces!! They are not willing to play with a 10:30am K.O. but they havent took into consideration what it means to me and you lot!! I am so so sorry that we can not fullfill our game, and special apologises to Edson ( Huw ) how made a unexpected trip to the game!! I hate myself for having been the spearhead of this idea, because now I know all the players expecting a game will vent there fury in my direction, which I probably deserve, but seriously its out of my hands!! I want to say sorry to Grannyjoy, who has worked tirelessly for us, Edson for a trip for nothing, guys like Matty Tom & Sean who have worked hard arranging teams, and also Tommy who has went through all the trouble of arranging a pitch etc!! I am at the stage of pulling out, as they have made me look foolish, and built up expectations when they had no intentions of going through with it!! I hope you can forgive me, but if not I fully understand From a very sorry Scotsman, Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BCFC Matt Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Damn! I am at the stage of pulling out, as they have made me look foolish, and built up expectations when they had no intentions of going through with it!! Your quite welcome to come along on and play still if you wish, I'm sure we'll still manage a to have a game between us forumers - i hope. Cheers for letting us know though, so much for the scots beating the english!! So its purely down to the early K.O time that the lads wont play, if yes, I'm sure we can arrange to move the k.o time back and play on the downs or something, get back to me asap?

Hope you have a good time down here still and go out and get even more wrecked on saturday!! I'm sure we will find 2 teams to play each other so don't worry about the pitch.

edson Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 I am so so sorry that we can not fullfill our game, and special apologises to Edson ( Huw ) how made a unexpected trip to the game!! I may never recover from the disappointment. Tell you what, give me a bell on Saturday and we'll meet up before the Oldham game, when you can buy me several pints to try and ease me through the traumatic effect this news has had on me. I'll still come along if there's going to be a game of some description on Sunday. If you still want to come, but don't have transport, let me know, Rab, and I'll pick you up. Cheers.

Guest BCFC Matt Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 Whitey, don't take this in the wrong manner.. BUT The more I think about this, the more it doesn't add up!! We've all known the kick off time since the begining of the week, sometime around 14th March and you have been 'well up for it' as so have the rest of the guys coming down with you. So I don't quite understand whats changed - okay 10.30am is early, but not 'that' early. Surely if your mates are letting you down then you need to explain to them that they will be letting down around 15 -20 others who have arranged the pitch, teams, kit (Joy) and generally 'made' this happen. I'm disapointed at the outcombe as I've been looking forward to it all week I hope you reconsider this as its taken time and effort for a lot of people to make it happen. I wouldn't like to think its because of better events happening the night before the match Whitey, any chance of a reply.....surely you can persuade the lads to play, like Tom said, a lot of effort as gone in on both parts and surely you cna make them see it from a different perspcetive? Get back asap, becuase we're in a state of confusion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Grannyjoy Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Come on guys, please don't be too hard on the Scottish boy's. Especially not Whitey I don't think the boys realised that the game would be early Sunday morning, and by the time they did it was too late to move kick off back. Also the whole purpose of this trip was to watch City on the Saturday, and go out on the town , with Lee to celebrate hopefully a City win, but mainly their pals success. Think on how you would feel the morning after such a special get together I feel just as dissapointed as you do, after meeting so many of you last weekend, but please don't make me eat my words about how friendly the Bristol City Supporters are, by being hostile towards them, should you see them at the game. I have read a lot on this Forum about racial comments against Christian Roberts for being Welsh, and although I normally would'nt bring it up, Lee has also encountered some similar stupidity for being Scottish. I am proud to say he did not rise to it, and the friendlyness of the majority more than made up for it. I am convinced that the true City supporters are above all that, and will treat the boys in the same way I have always been treated on my visits to Ashton Gate, with friendship, good humour and a mutual respect unique to lovers of the, "Beautiful Game".

I dont think we were meaning to sound hostile Gran. We may hav been able to book another pitch for a later k.o time, but we have heard nothing. Thanks for infroming us and i hope the lads have a great weekend at the mighty Ashton Gate, and of course, down town! Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest whitey_03 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Sorry lads for not being in contact, but i was at college yesterday and was at football training last night so havent had a chance to check out the forum. As i said previously the boys have backed out, because they cant see themselves being in any fit state to run around a football pitch. I read Toms theory about it not adding up, am sorry Tom but the lads were all up for this game, but it is all my fault as I thought they knew the kick off was half past 10, although I didnt realsie until Wednesday no one knew the kick off time and when I told them I was met with a few choice words and a few disgusted friends. As soon as one said they werent going to play then a few followed and by the end of the night I was left with three players for definate, which wouldnt have made for a good game. I know we could have pulled in a few other players from the forum but i defeated the purpose of a Scotland vs England match. I was so gutted to have to tell all you lads about it i stayed off the forum fearing the worse in reply, which has been confirmed alittle with some of the replies. I am at the stage of questioning how we will be received when we do go to the game if anyone realises who we are!! The talk of spitting, eggs etc may all be just harmless ribbing from the guys, but not knowing what to expect at the moment, hearing things like this doesnt exactly fill me up with good feeling. I can only apologise again for what has happened, and as i mentioned in the original post the names of the people my apology is most directed at. I hope we wont be looked at as hate figures in anyway due to this game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tompo Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 I hope we wont be looked at as hate figures in anyway due to this game! Don't worry about it mate. As long as you enjoy the weekend that is what really matters. As I said in an earlier post, the weather forecast for this weekend is pretty horendous and my colleague, who runs a local team, has told me that he expects most local games to be called off. Are there plans for the Scottish/English lads to go for a pint before the game? If so what pub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest whitey_03 Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Rob, Don't worry about the replies, I think some of them - mine included - we perhaps born out of frustration. By all means if you can get three of you down to play, then do so - we have managed to get more of the official team out for the game so with three of you added we should make up the numbers easily. Also check your PM box about tomorrow and pre match drinkies Tom, I have check my inbox and you will have a pm later today RE drinkies etc. I have just got a message about the game, telling me to bring my boots down anyway. I am going to mention to a few of the boys who were still willing to play, and see if they still want to play, but its worth a try, even if its just to stop all your hard work going to waste. As tompo has kindly posted are the parks going to be playable? I am going to speak to the 2 other lads willing to play, and see if I can salvage something. As for posts out of frustration its ok i understand, it was just a bit worrying when someone them became a little dodgy, which led me to believe we might not be received well at all at the game!

I'm sure he will put on a performace with the boys there, lets just hope he gets the chance, he started on the bench last game, which might mean another start from the bench this time!! I hope not because Lita & Miller is a partnership to unlock Oldham and ram home a few goals!! But it all comes down to what Danny sees fit to do, and thats usually the thinhg you least expect I gather!

Robbo is a little selfish at the mo, but with a regular run, could prove to be a good team there. Whats his chances in the full Scottish squad?

Robbo is a little selfish at the mo, but with a regular run, could prove to be a good team there. Whats his chances in the full Scottish squad? Glad to see he has changed your mind towards him. I heard he played some of his best stuff up front with Robbo, but i dont think it would matter who he played with be it Lita or Robbo, if given the chance with either he would begin to play to his full potential, and also be setting up a fearsome partnership. As for the Scotland squad, he would need to establish himself in the 21's squad again, but Ranier Bonhoff hasnt took much interest since his move South, or since he pulled out the Portugal training camp to help Falkirk win the league, only for all Falkirks games during the Portugal training camp to be cancelled, which meant he missed two weeks in Portugal for nothing. REDM thanks for you words of comfort, I am sure we will enjoy the weekend, its just that i felt a few people maybe annoyed that i built up the game only to pull out sudden, but I had to tell the boys, it wouldnt have been right if come Sunday we just didnt turn up. At least this way there seems to be a game going ahead, which me and Lee are going to try and come see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted March 19, 2004 Share Posted March 19, 2004 Whitey/ Grannyjoy: I read an earlier post on this thread saying that Lee had some abuse for being a Scot. I found this really upsetting. I hope he realises that this isn't the view of the majority. I don't know what he has done to deserve this. He hasn't been here very long but he always gives 110%. I feel really ashamed that he had to encounter this. I don't really know why Roberts gets it either, perhaps people feel he has been here a while which entitles them to give an opinion. And by insulting his birthplace is one of the most insulting things you can say? Hopefully it is something that people are becoming less tolerent of.
