Not really after what other players have done to their clubs recently I suppose I should have expected something like this. However I always expect the best of people and get somewhat disappointed when they almost all seem to have feet of clay, I suppose our club history explains part of it the Ashton Gate 8 tearing up contracts to save the club is what most of us of a certain age remember and the one club players something you hardly ever get nowadays players and agents have too much power in the game.
Apart from a series of bad tackles on Kilkenny during the game Leeds apparently played well and deserved your win good luck to you for the rest of the season.

cheers hawkbarfly ...... down to 9, it was never gonna help you. According to tv reports i listened to, you were much the better in the first half.

Bad tackles on kilkenny were to be expected.....

It would have certainly been a different game( result)if we had 11 men on the pitch!

Wanted to stay, what a load of nonsense

He says more stuff

* My family were getting food and coke bottles thrown at them, people were shouting abuse.(at Coventry apparently):

* Some others hung 'Judas' banners up. That's not really on..

* I've got a five month baby boy (Camden) now' he said. "And if he can't be Northern then I'd rather he grows up with a cockney accent than a Bristolian one.

I honestly am not sure if these comments are true/real, but i do find them a little strange to be honest.

To be fair the Bristolian accent is pretty thick............ cockernee accent wins everytime.....

Red Side the BBC sport Bristol City page has just been edited/updated a few days back on it Maynard was saying the fans at BCFC drove him away as he wanted to stay now it has his claims that things were being thrown at his family trouble is once a liar you don't know if any of this is true or if it's just trying to make him look good. We know that the fans were almost 100% behind wanting the board to keep him when the offers were comming in from the Foxes in the close season, even though Maynard had said he wasn't interested in them anyway, they could have accepted any of the offers and see if he changed his mind.
So that part of his sob story that the fans drove him out though he wanted to stay is an obvious lie the other comments about things being thrown at his family I cant comment on as I didn't see anything like that and I didn't see any Judas banners either but that wouldn't surprise me fans do get annoyed when someone who has spent quite a bit of time on high wages on the treatment table who tries to walk away from a club without them getting any payment back is going to get right up the nose of staunch supporters if Maynard can't see that then he's a bigger fool than he appears. He has some talent with a football most people agree but it seems to go to the heads of some more than others.
l11dsu4ever Having lived in Yorkshire for a while when I was young 12 months in a boarding school the term Pot calling the Kettle black comes to mind when thinking about accents about 50% of the yorkies spoke like they had a mouth full of Yorkshire puddin which made them very difficult to understand even more for the Londoners who were at the school than those of us from further west.

Budgiebarfly ............. i lived in Brizzel for 9 years - trust me 99% of you lot talk in an accent only locals and livestock can make out .... !!!

Leeds are obviously so delighted with their lucky lucky win, 12 men V 9 and they managed to finally break us in 80th minute.

Well done to them - the trouble is most teams they play will have 11 men on the pitch and won't gift them the opener on a plate.

We won that game for them - its embarrassing they are trying to take credit for it.

As for Maynard - no normal person condones abuse if what has been reported is true, but football is a very emotional business and players should respect the fans - after all its the fans hard earned pennies that buy their bentleys.

Still very bitter on here .... you lost (again) get over it.

12 v 9 - ah, so it's the ref to blame now? The rules of footie are that if your players don't abide by them, then they run the risk of being removed from the game.

You're currently sat in 20th - I take it every other team has been lucky and you gifted them games too ???

posted on 7/2/12

I wouldn't say every team has been lucky however as everyone knows for some reason when you are near the bottom of the league every 50/50 decision goes against you now which comes first the fact that the decisions are going against you drops you down the table or the fact that you are at the bottom so the decisions go against you I'm not too sure but if you look at Leeds Utd's recent history when they were dropping down tha table you will see what I mean.

Budgie ...... fair play matey .... elements of truth in what you're saying. when you're near the bottom and struggling to find form or wins, then the footie Gods seem to shiiiit on you even more.

We dropped down the leagues like a stone .... but that was more due to financial circumstances crippling us..... but i get the drift of what you're trying to say (i think!!).

Just do me a favour, try dropping in the odd comma or full stop now and again...... even south west keyboards have them too ......

Nah I bought my keyboard with the computer from a company in in Thirsk and things like that are rather slow to perculate through there though at least they remembered to put the keys in the same place as everyone else this time I couldn't make head nor tail of the russian one they sent me first.
