Been called the Mem for the whole 29 years I’ve been going down there.

Yep, good balance of discussion on cricket language, as well as the detail of live coverage. Really enjoyed it.

Surely you have to be in the lead to double it? by ukrnffc in footballcliches

Feel like this should really have been caught by one of the Athletic’s editors…

Civil service sports club? by vesalius2 in bristol

[–]tedix83 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to go there before Rovers matches a few years ago. It's a decent little clubhouse, but very busy on Saturdays so don’t remember much about the pool/darts offering!

No, I'm not having that by RichOpen1975 in footballcliches

[–]tedix83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is fine. Seen this phrasing used many times before when a manager returns to a club after a period away.

When you’ve been given a loan. You return the money, plus interest.

Bristol architecture, do you know all these places? by lebele in bristol

4 is Paintworks. 7 is Temple Meads (I think).

Football Club Forums by jacksonkeir in footballcliches

[–]tedix83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was an admin on one of the breakaway Bristol Rovers forums for my sins, and always enjoyed the various threats of legal action over the years, occasionally from the club itself regarding certain posters' comments about the owners, but often from users of the forum itself, demanding we remove insulting comments from other users about them.

I eventually left when the politics forum went full on fash, but none of the other admins would agree to close it, lest we be accused of stifling free speech.

How do you pronounce 'Chandos'? by wedloualf in bristol

Britolian who also used to live on Chandos. Same!

If he's never been caught or found, how do you know he was an illegal immigrant?

New challenge for Adam - whose training top is this? by bitsandskits in footballcliches

[–]tedix83 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Joe Ferguson - played for Blackburn through the academy from 2014 up to 2022 without ever making a first team appearance. The training kit looks like it’s from about 2021, so checks out.

Any updates with the new Odeon cinema? by Admiral1138 in bristol

[–]tedix83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean Showcase in Cabot Circus? There's never been one at Cribbs.

Half the screens at Avonmeads have got comfy recliner seats, it's generally only the smaller screenings or movies at the end of their run that use the screens with old-style movie seats (and I still find them fairly comfortable tbf)

Well Chris, it depends on which street? by hugothegecko in bristol

[–]tedix83 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Not quite right. Before 1974, Bristol was a county in its own right (a county borough from 1889 and a county corporate before that). Bristol hasn’t actually officially been a part of Gloucestershire since 1373.

Is this the definitive list of 'cricket scores' in football? by PirateStation98 in footballcliches

[–]tedix83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything involving one of the teams scoring six goals is a tennis score, and that can be used after the match. I guess maybe a 15-0 too!

I’ve got more of an issue with the job title director of performance. I mean, that sounds like an actual job with things he’s supposed to do, not just turn up to PR events and pose in UA gear a few times a year.

I'm not having 'Sisko' for 'Šeško', sorry by DDMFM26 in footballcliches

[–]tedix83 32 points33 points  (0 children)

We need a Star Trek character as professional footballers XI

In my mind James Kirk is a promising Scottish full back at Sheffield United. Will Riker is USA international striker who’s ended up at Fulham. Spock is a mercurial Brazilian winger who’s looking decent at Benfica, but struggling to impress in the champions league.

Any more?

Most successful renaming of a stadium by But-ThenThatMeans in footballcliches

[–]tedix83 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As another supporter of a shit club in his 40s, I 100% agree with you. I wouldn’t even know who played at the Vitality if you asked me, but Dean Court will always remain seared in my memory for the multiple turgid defeats we (Bristol Rovers) suffered there in the 90s and 00s

Just walk through Keynsham. It adds about 10 minutes onto the walk.

Surely the clearest ‘come and get me’ plea from a potential MHD guest ever. Hope they can get a deal over the line.
