    To be factually correct it was Lydia Beynon Maternity Hospital. Many years before Celtic Manor became a twinkle in Terry Matthews eye.

    Unless of course you were born in the resort as your parents or the ambulance couldn't get you to the Royal Gwent on time.

    I'm sure many have been created at Celtic Manor but not many actually born there. <ok>

    Not been back for a few years. Visit mates from time to time. We left before my daughter's 3rd birthday. She was 23 last week.

    Played rugby for North Bristol for 10 years. Played a lot of teams in the Bristol combination.

    I keep getting shouted at in work saying there’s only one well, when I say Taff Wells. <laugh>
    But back to your grammar education that made me fail being a Welshman test. That was a genuine mistake and I am sorry so can I please class myself as Welsh sir?

    I’m 52 so yes the Lydia Beynon Maternity.
    My mum was staying there recently and showed me roughly which room I was born in, and then proceeded to ask me seriously “can you remember? “
    She’s a professor, and I’ve always said she’s all brains and no common sense.

    good man and that's the way it should be, everyone living together and excepting each others differences........anyways I wouldn't say our interests are different in every case otherwise one of us would be a jack.....or keeping it on topic a welsh man who follows a team in England <laugh>....no offence meant redordead im just pulling your cock for ew <wink>

    small world lads I also have family in Bristol and they love it up there, im not sure of the appeal tbh but that's just me im a mountain man and love my space from humans............but hey ho I gotta say whenever i visit we always enjoy ourselves watching bands or just chilling on some sacred piece of grass lands(parks in wales)............in fact im up there in a secret venue 2 listen 2 a david icke in april, fingers crossed Bristol being a place of free speech will allow this show 2 take place unlike bath(original venue) who folded 2 some insane pro Zionist group claiming icke is anti semitic....so much for free speech bath you Nazi pc bastardo`s.

    Interesting thoughts from Leroy Rosenior in his local rag column...............

    "We don’t want (Bristol) City going out there just trying to hold on, because we are not that sort of team.

    I think Cardiff are that sort of team, where they smash it long and they fight and they scrap - and they always feel like they are the underdogs.

    But Bristol City are a more positive side in terms of their possession and how they want to create and they have helped create an inspirational atmosphere at Ashton Gate.

    City are not a side who are just going to try and nick a 1-0 - that is not how they play. They go and try and score goals, they try and be positive and they try and play good football.

    There is an energy required to do that and it is so much braver to play like that than to play like Cardiff and just smash it forward and kick and scrap for it."

    Do you think he's right and we are seen that way around the country?

    What's more, do you think that approach (if right) will get us to finish above them - if so, can it be wrong?

    Probably. But it shows how one eyed some people are.

    They ignore we play with 2 wingers who use pace and skill. How tall is Hoilett? About 5 ft 6 ins?

    Wingers need the ball on the ground, preferably to feet when they are in space. You don't achieve that by "smashing it.

    I thought Rosenior was a pundit. Just shows he really knows f all.

    We don't play tippy tappy passing round and round and through the middle. We like to get it forward quickly as that is where the wingers and Zohore, when on his game, are more effective. But hoof ball it is not. Is there anything better in football than seeing a flying winger beat his full back and get his cross in for the centre forward to bang it home? That takes skill, speed, awareness and timing.

    Rosenior really should go to Specsavers.

    BY the way hasn't Flint, their centre back, got 6 or 7 goals this season? I guess most of those have come through set pieces. Pretty direct football I think.

    Rosenior really is an ass hole.
