Bristol City Board

is there a world cup on?

 

Not for Wales

 

here's one for you ashton.

do you know which welsh speaker won a world cup winners medal. Not a trick question.

 

I won't spoil it but someone brought this up on our board recently and I didn't know it... though the country was pretty obvious if you thought about it.

 

My guess would be that it's something to do with Patagonia and therefore one of the Argentinians?

How about Kempes?

 

Right Country and region.
A Patagonian Welsh speaker.

 

Batitusta?

 

That's the one.

 

Ah right - didn't know he came from there

 

Just a guess - knew he was from Patagonia but no idea he actually spoke Welsh.

 

Known as "DaiBat" in his village!!!

 

Sheepshaggers on a different continent.

1865 the original Welsh contingent arrived.

And to think, he could have played for us on the basis of his great, great, great, great, great, grand parents.

 

He'd never have got in our squad.

 

Was thinking of Wales rather than Cardiff.

 

Nah, Hartson would have kept him out....

 

Bobby Reid is a good lad, and you have signed someone who will work his socks off for the team.

I think most of us at BCFC wish him well in the Premier League - he deserves his chance

 

Cheers smh. Liked the guy last season (first time I'd really noticed him to be honest) and said so on your forum.

Really glad we've got him - he'll add another dimension up front that's been missing for a few years now.

 

Will be interesting to see how Bobby Reid , and You guys , cope with the step up .

As smhbc said , one things for sure If Bobby doesn’t make it , it won’t be for lack of trying , you will all love him , he gives everything and never stops running .

Genuinely hope you and him do well.

Does seem odd being nice to you guys , must be something to do with reaching the semi final of the World Cup

 

England doing well. Support out there embarrassing.

 

I really liked what I saw of Bobby Reid last season. Without being disrespectful, before then he was just another Bristol City player on the the pitch making up the eleven.

A "Bobby Reid" type of player is something we've been lacking for a while now - maybe only Chopra fits the bill this century. If he turns out to be another Carl Dale/Tony Evans (albeit at a higher level) for us next season, he'll be worth 3 times what we paid you for him.

The one thing that'll be a good fit for Warnock will be his attitude which you say is never in question - I'm sure he'll do well under him. We've got a big task on this season just to survive up here, but I like the way the squad is building and Reid could be the ace in the hole.
