So it's Sheffield v Bristol.

[Gavlar]

Or Sheffield UTD v Bristol CITY.

Please don't complain other teams call us Sheffield if you can't call our opposition by the correct name.

I've seen it on this forum too many times over the last decade so let's put a stop to it in the next 2 games please.

Let's stop the double standards eh?

Thanks, Up the blades.

I couldn't care less i actually like it
It's a real kick in the balls for our Swineshead friends

 

[bladesmanluke]

I don't care about us being called Sheffield so I'll just stick to Bristol. We get called that because Wednesday are irrelevant

The sad reality is, most people who forget who I support always ask, 'do you support Sheffield Wednesday?' as its easier to remember as its more unusual.

So you would like it if they were called Sheffield if they were in a higher league?

Sheffield club snuck into the playoffs have they

I was surprised to hear Basham call us "Sheffield" on the radio today.

Unless born in Sheffield or Bristol I guess people don’t care.

Sheffield and Bristol just don’t sound right…

 

[CarlMcBlade]

…But Leeds, Newcastle and West Ham have basically dropped their full names to fall in line with the City/United narrative of the Premier League. Maybe if us and the Wendy’s would have had more of a top flight presence over the last 40/50years…things might have been different. As it is the football world see us as “Sheffield.”

 

[DifferentClass]

Brizzle forum is actually called One Team in Bristol

 

[Cappy]

It only bothers/surprises me when opposition fans call us Sheffield when us and Wendy are in the same division. If Bristol Rovers and Bristol City were both in the champ, I don't think many would refer to either as Bristol. But they aren't, so I get it

 

[Frank the tank]

Just watch the highlights and tell me again how they completely outplayed us
No exaggeration to say we could have won that game 5-1
Even their goal was offside and don't get me started on the non pens at the end

A couple of years ago we played both Bristol clubs back to back in the fa cup and both were referred to as Bristol on here.

The Bristol city forum you mean. The Rovers one isn’t as there are two teams in Bristol. Even if Rovers are shit they still exist.

Which is bloody lazy as the football world calls Man Utd ‘utd’ and Man City ‘city’ when there are several others of both.

Also the oldest club in the world is called Sheffield fc.

Sorry but I will die on this hill.

I do agree, but I’m just stating a fact.

Rovers played outside the city for years didn’t they, was it in Bath ? stems from that I presume

You sound worried already!

 

[stringjunior]

Speech is increasingly lazy and club names get shortened I don't see a problem here so get over it you wank spangles.

I may have been drinking.

Yeh probably.

Wank spangles is a new one on me, top marks for originality bud!

 

[ShockingBadBuy]

All I can say is that this tie would have extra shit tied up in it if that cunt Nigel “Don’t You Know Who I Am?” Pearson was still their gaffer.

The fucker.

Was an even game I thought, draw was a fair result. Their goal doesn't look offside and I don't think it was a pen on Burrows. (If this was the game with the kick on Moore near the death, that was a penalty but not shown in the highlights above)

I think saying Newcastle, Leeds, Derby etc. is ok as they are the only clubs (league clubs) named after their cities. For ourselves and the pigs, along with Forest/County, Man Utd/City, Bristol City/Rovers it just seems lazy not to bother distinguishing between them. I bet they don't like it in Dundee!
