First leg tonight, Sheffield United will want a good result to take back to
Bramall Lane, Brizzle keen to take something up there.
Come on BC.

Bristol need to keep it tight. Stay in the game.
Here’s hoping their keeper has a standout performance, they’ll almost certainly need it.

I thought Bristol were very poor versus ourselves and even worse against Leeds. They’ll need to show a big improvement to come through this over two legs.

Bristol didn't look great in either game against us and are just one of a bunch of extremely average (being kind) teams who were in and around the play off picture. Head says Sheffield win both legs tbh, but heart really wants City to pull something out of the bag.

Best for us if bristol city go up. They haven't a hope in he'll of staying up and probably wouldn't be in the same market as us for players.

Even though it irks me to say it, I'd rather have the team that won 90 points, rather than the one that ended up on 68.

Second that. These last couple of weeks have been lovely since the Sheffield Utd game. I hated the play offs. Worst game I’ve ever been to until the final whistle

They had a go down there in the second half down there but you are right, a group of clubs who were in and out of those bottom two playoff positions. Two of them had to make it but the gaps this season between fifth & fourth, then fourth & third, then third & second are unprecedented.

Not seen a replay yet but .... that's got to be offside?

Good call. I think the defender clears it without the shield.

Come on Bristol City. My most hated teams in order - Manure, B*stards, Leeds, Sheff United.

was he actually offside ? The only replay I've seen he looked at worst level but it wasn't the greatest angle tbh

His shoulder in front of Campbell.

Think his shoulder is offside.

Wilder dishing out some foul language to the referee but that was absolutely the correct decision.

The bloke on the line would be off if he touched it but it went in before that and didn’t touch him

nearly broke the bar with that

The bloke on the line is off because he stops the defender clearing it, very obviously interfering with play.

But he kept the defender from getting a boot on the clearance

seems pretty open for a first leg
Re: Bristol City v Blades

Yep would agree with the interference so should be disallowed.
Re: Bristol City v Blades

Don’t think he’s keeping it out though and also dont think the officials based it on that.

Think he’s probably close enough to swing a leg at it. Probably wouldn’t have kept it out but if there’s a chance they have to give the offside.

Why does the Sky commentator keep referring to Nicky Wells, I was under the impression that his name is Nahki

depends which way you look at it, if Bristol, Sunderland or Coventry go up then that's another team with parachute payments - if Sheff Utd come up it kind of stays the same should we all drop again and would give us less competition. All if's and buts, I'm expecting us to win the league tbh

He clambered all over his back, stopped a goal scoring opportunity. He can’t have any complaints.

Correct pen and red. Pulling Moore back with both hands before he got his foot on the ball.

Wrapped his arms around Moore, deffo peno.

You can't pull a player back like that when he's clear through and expect to get away with it.
We would be fuming not to get that
