MATCH THREAD: Into the great unknown. Bristol City (H) -11th Aug, 2018

[TANGODANCER]

And....some mic chat, then we have a goal kick. O'Dowd tried to sneak behind us but now we have a throw. Taylor and...in and...Taylor again and....some here and there and cleared for a throw to them. Kelly, Baker, Wheats clears, more to and fro and Beevers gets one forward....Magennis can't make impact, they clear long and Ben says thank you. A wallop, Magennis tries a flick but their keeper clears and feeds his front men. We deal with the cross and...some irrelevant scores, then...the visitors get a free kick near their box. They are having a bit of possession and then Magennis gets done for a free kick for a harmless shoulder to shoulder. They sally, Brownhill, Pass? Hunt....again and Odowd....and the ref upsetting the homers by giving them another freekick 25 out. Brownhill...and....into the wall. Buckley clears, it comes back and Ben clears.

[DJBlu]

Not started well at all.

[TANGODANCER]

Posession mainly them so far says mic man, and here they come again. Noone stops Kelly and..mic lads have a chat. Noone getting the good words. Back they come and Vyman loses then wins the ball and then they appeal for a pen, and a 25 lash from Brownhill says hello to our post. Come on lads, thats very last season.....Magennis gives one away and now Benn has a chance to wallop one. Buckley lets one go out for a throw and....they clear to Lowe. Back with Ben, they clear and the ref is having none of our free kick claims.

[mullayo]

ref given them three soft fouls. .

[DJBlu]

Play like this and we're going to lose.

Very poor.

[TANGODANCER]

Patterson tries one, we clear and break. Mic lads chat, then....a long one from O and Vela loses out to Kelly. Goal kick them.
Scores, then Noone and their goalie has to clear rapido. Back they come and it's too much them rather than the Supers. Wheats blocks an attempt and some ariel stuff then Hunt gets a soft free. Vela this time and ref making nofriends with the faithful. Kelly tries one and then get a corner after Ben fingertips one away. Lowe clears for a Bristol throw. Come on lads, we don't need to score six, four will do. They break again, we clear....Noone goes and....Kelly clears from a Vela dash. Now Taylor sets Buckley off and....O feeds Lowe and....we get done for an offside.

[TANGODANCER]

Mac goes, micman gives scores, Pass strides forth. Beevers clears, they win the header and....win a throw. Not really a dominant dsiplay from us so far but no score. Wheats, Noone.....and back with their keeper. We need to play with a bit more passion? Some mic chat and then....Baker, more chat and....Taylor has a throw. Cur out and another near thewir box. And Taylor's long throw wins us a corner. In and,,,,the keeper gets it and clears. Come in on corners lads, don't wait for them to float on you heads. Magennis upsets the ref and.....the fans and....does Mac get a card here? Wheater has to head clear and..the liner gets earache for a poor decision against us...again. Some scores, rfree them and it clears everybody and....jits the bar. Not good.

[DJBlu]

23% possession at home. Dear me.

[DJBlu]

This referee is a complete and utter cock.

[mullayo]

Make that 7 soft fouls. None for us

[Enoch]

It's not all bad, at least Wiggin are losing.

[TANGODANCER]

Do we need the Uni net ball team to show us how? Cone on lads, we're surely better than this. 70% possesion them mentioned. Ben wallops, Noone goes down the line and....nothing. Goal kick them. Get a grip of them. Mac does well, Lowe, Taylor, Lowe...O...Wheater and Ben slices clear and O'Dowd cons a free kick out of the ref for a feather attack. And Pass...and...Vyman is offside after trying it on. What have we done at the officials? Vyman again and Brownhill and....we were a bit lucky there says micaman. Chat, chat....home side and...we get a throw...and....have we had a shot yet...Taylor and.....they clear and break. Lowe and Murphy do well and....Buckley is offside. Not much joy this half, let's hope the next is better.Chat amongst the mic lads, talk of what might have been in the transfer period, then....eventually...their keepr wallops it out for a throw us. Vyman makes a miraculous recovery and......Mac wins a free kick. Noone, keeper grabs it and...half time approaches. Hairdryer time Phil.....and we get another free kick..amazing. And now.....Lowe and Noone and....in and cleared and....we get a throw. O throws, gets it back and ...we have another throw. And O throws and....lonf, cleared back and....a throw to them.

[TANGODANCER]

Ref gives them another soft free kick in danger time and....in and Mac clears. Throw them and...some scores and then...Kelly, Buckley concedes a corner to them. Lowe clears, back to Hunt...Kelly in and....Pass comes agan and O'Dowder and scores and chat and.....the ref upsetting things again. Not Championship ref of the year then as the whistle goes. 0-0 at the break.

[TANGODANCER]

Not promotion to the Prem level yet then? Are we a one man team that whenever Sammi isn't in we get battered? I really thought we'd be doing better than so far...ah well, onwards and upwards....

[mullayo]

Fouls 11-2. Hard to play with that going on.

[Enoch]

Bollocks.

Fouls 11-2. Hard to play with that going on.

Refs association have had a vendetta against us that started wih Kev Davies. It's a generational thing that Mike Dean and Mike Riley fanned the flames of at every mention of "Bolton". Been the same ever since.

[TANGODANCER]

Anyway, ref this 45 minute game against Bristol City. Bolton's own Chuckle Brothers, Henshaw and Price resume. The all Whites are playing right to left (whatever that means) and need to buck up. Come on lads, win or go down fighting. That said, Ben has to give away an early corner. Eliason, Ben punches, Vyman tries, gets blocked and we break via Buckley. A Bristol does a diving act and....ref gives then a free kick. We break well, Mageenis dooes great and....Noone twice and..Lowe is fouled and the ref ignores us twice."Ref is off another planet" claims mic man. Magennis getting good words as we sally. O goes and Noone and...Beevers and....in and...."handball" claims micman. Fruitlessly, of course. O'Dowder, Pass, Webster and Vyman lahes one and Benn has to tip o ver.

[DJBlu]

How can referees this poor be allowed to referee?

It's beyond obvious that there is a Bristol City bias.

Take that back, he's just shit.

Deffo penalty. We get away with one there.
