greenun Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 "The luck isn't with us at the moment and the boys are wondering where the goals are coming from." Danny Wilson, Evening Post, Monday 3rd November. Well Danny, if the players in your squad can't find the net and "Dame Fortune" isn't producing her huge grin, then perhaps it's time to recruit. When you're in Bradford this Sunday, you could do a lot worse than drive the 42.5 miles (according to rac.co.uk) to Rotherham and persuade that nice Mark Robins, that it's in his best interests to reboard the good ship Bristol City before our season runs aground. I apologise for the sarcasm Danny, but what alternatives do you have? Who else is available now that Swindon seem to have exhausted the loan market, with their shrewd purchase of the enigmatic Dion Burton last week? In 17 league games this season, your team has only scored more than 1 goal in THREE matches. With one notable exception, this is virtually the same squad that chalked-up over 100 in all competitions last term. Oh well, rant over. At least I didn't have to endure last week's turgid draw, as I was enjoying my daughter's 6th Birthday Party, on a bouncy castle. At one point things got pretty scary and Emma had to protect me from her fearsome infant associates. Luckily, I emerged unscathed and after a couple of plastic cups of fizzy pop and a slice of Barbie cake was fully recovered. I'll readily admit that I hadn't been that frightened since Benny Lennartson asked his team to perform the diamond midfield formation in the 6-1 mauling by Wolves in 1999. Now, rather than analysing our forthcoming opponents and musing about the pitfalls I'm going to talk about something far more worthwhile. Since August 9th, Jer Boon has been cycling to and from every competitive Bristol City match, for his season long project, BCFC By Bike. This insane venture, totalling over 7,000 miles is all in aid of the hugely worthwhile cause, The Breast Cancer Campaign. The Breast Cancer Campaign is the only charity that specialises in funding independent breast cancer research throughout the United Kingdom. For further details, logon to Jer's website NOW, at: www.bcfcbybike.com. You'll not only find out how to donate, but will also be treated to Jer's fascinating adventures on the road, as he cycles around the beautiful English and Welsh countryside. At the last count BCFC By Bike had raised over £1100 and clocked-up 2664 miles. Please don't let Jer's hard work go to waste, as every penny you can pledge is very gratefully received. Remember, as well as enduring the physical strain of his efforts, the poor bloke has to watch every single City match. Oh, the humanity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucksred Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 You forgot the players "contribution" to our impressive start to the season. They- er havent exactly lit the division up. Top striker 1 goal in 6 (impressive that)The others are contributing their fair share (not) Central defender who cant put a foot right. (After a good season last year) Midfielder who gets himself sent off, and seems to wanna fight every time (Unlike last year). Another who hasnt come to terms with Div 2 yet. Several non contributary appearances by several of the other players (sigh that will always happen, but its worse this year). Add this to Dannys skillfull management, this year, in a mediocre division..... Hmmmmmmmmmmm. :Sleep15: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had the enthusiasm to mention all our faailings this season, but I'm afraid the Green 'Un wouldn't have enough pages. If our present run continues and there is still no hope of new signings, I think I'll be writing about the contents of my pre-match meal in the Nova Scotia and how many pints I need to consume in order to be anaesthetised.

bucksred Posted November 7, 2003 Share Posted November 7, 2003 Greenun, On a boring Friday PM, and having watched the Wycombe farce, I got to comment, as I cant beleive how ######## City are this season..but they dont care... A night out with beer sounds a much better option, and more inspiring... Must take me pills as they are wearing off, I'm starting to become happy clappy, wandering in a Wilson Blunderland......
