Just get through tomorrow, both get booked v Derby, sit out the match v Rochdale in the cup (is the point blueridge was making) Ahhh, yes I'd forgotten the FA Cup game. The FA keep making changes though regarding cards being competition specific so would that work anyway?

It's such a shame that Coutts has injured himself. Finley is on 4 cautions and one more before 19 games are complete will see him get a one match ban. Bobby Thomas is also on 4. If we lose one or both of them for a game (Thomas might get a two match ban as he has already served a ban?) it will stretch our resources. I suppose Whelan is Finley's replacement, hope Connolly's not far away too... Both Thomas & Finley need to set out and get booked against Derby - not before ! Well - if they both get through tomorrow night, and can do the same on Saturday, then they would only have two more games to get through before the cut off. It's a difficult one as they mustn't back off too much so as to affect their game.

Check out my avatar - Iβd be happy with that. I like that olskool. I've just responded saying no to all the shapes as they are bog standard like everyone else, and ditto the designs. My comment was along the lines of keeping our quirky badge shape but to toughen up the Pirate and make it more obviously a Bristol Pirate. The latter point might not be obvious to others but we would all know if done well

JB speaking to the media saying that Paul Coutts has rocked his ankle hoping he wonβt be out to long Wonder how he did it. I always strapped my ankles for training and playing, a bit more for playing, as I was always at risk of rolling them - especially the left one, and straining ligaments.

I've posted earlier how I was torn on this decision to cancel, coming down on the side of believing that games should have gone ahead. I must take issue with your comment that I have highlighted though. Flags were at half mast, until the Royal Standard was raised when HM The Queen returned to Buckingham Palace - as per Royal protocol, and as is the case now. The Royal Standard is currently flying at full mast as HM The King is at the palace. Yes public pressure resulted in the standard being lowered but really it was only through lack of understanding regarding the protocol. There is no suggestion that the standard should be lowered now for Her Late Majesty The Queen. That's not quite how I remember it, protocol meant that only the Royal Standard flew from Buckingham Palace or Windsor and when the Queen wasn't in residence nothing flew - hence no flags at half mast on those buildings. That changed shortly afterwards and now the Union Jack flies when nobody is home. Yes, you are quite correct. Prior to Diana's death no flag flew at Buckingham Palace if the Monarch was not in residence. I believe that flags at other royal premises were at half mast. It is interesting that ever since the flying of the half-mast Union Flag for Diana, that flag is flown at BP when the Monarch is not at home, and at half mast when there is a death in the Royal Family or for other National and International figures/events. The Royal Standard is never flown at half mast - a mistake I made in my post above, it was the Union Flag at half mast.

Wrong decision in my opinion. If people wish to grieve or pay respects, then they can do that in whatever way they feel appropriate, including not going to football, the pub, or anywhere they wish not to be. Just to throw this into the ring. When Diana, the mother of her own grandchildren died, the Queen did not initially cancel or change her plans. No return to London, no flag at half mast, no address to the nation. Until Tony Blair virtually forced her to do so. So I'm guessing she would not wish the nation to be forced to change their plans whether they like it or not. I've posted earlier how I was torn on this decision to cancel, coming down on the side of believing that games should have gone ahead. I must take issue with your comment that I have highlighted though.

I find myself torn over this. On the one hand it is understandable for the authorities to want to mark their respect for our much loved monarch of over 70 years - a person that has been an ever present for most of us for all of our lives - by postponing this weekend's fixtures. On the other hand, I'm certain that Her Late Majesty would not have wanted this to mean everything stops for days and days.
My own view is that it is no longer the early or mid twentieth century and it isn't the right thing to shut down everything now, despite my full support of the Monarchy. As others have said it could only add to the anti-monarchist argument.
To postpone fixtures today is appropriate, the whole weekend is not
The funeral is most likely to be Monday 19th or Tuesday 20th - again no fixtures on those days would be appropriate.

RIP Ma'am.
An ever present stable influence on all our lives, and throughout all of our lives for most of us.
That is a fantastic picture Jock

I'll be there. I'm getting a lift the ~30 miles from home with a couple of Pompey fans. I've been told that despite their good result last night they started really poorly, the whole first half was poor apparently. If we can start quickly then we might have a chance, although I imagine Colby Bishop is eyeing our makeshift centre half pairing with some relish. Anyway - No 'Play up Pompey' - it's UTG!

I couldn't watch tonight as I was out and only got home with ~10 mins left. I see we had three yellows - Connolly, Finley, Coutts yet the BBC stats show us committing 8 fouls to Barnsley's 14 - and they didn't get any yellows. Barton effect, home team bias, or were the yellows warranted? I imagine Finley and Coutts were subbed because of the yellows - they both got booked at the same time?
