@CrootMatt Yes. First half was a good team misfiring and second was how the first could have gone. Relieved and happy

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@CrootMatt @ajlills78 Your sight better than mine. I’d thought it was a stud from foot in air as player fell but accidental

@pbrealey @CrootMatt @BearsBeyondGate @MilesClarke10 @BristolBears @threadreaderapp Just download the podcast 55 times - congratulations on the milestone 👏👏👏

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@CrootMatt True. Went with my oldest who’s more football and we talked about how in that game it’s all about change the manager as that’s the easiest reaction when things go bad. But that’s not how teams work.

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@CrootMatt Yesterday was the worst. So much so that I’m taking it as an outlier for now. And conditions made it chaotic, Irish were good and 🐻 were unlucky. Trust in team

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@CrootMatt 1) no plan survives first contact and this is long haul til academy really beds in 2) I was shocked by yesterday’s performance which is much better than resigned to defeat - this 🐻 team can win 3) I miss Wasps and Worcs!

@pbrealey @ianp_10 @BristolBears Tbh I felt like apologising to the Irish fans next to me for not offering more of a challenge. Barely entered their half. They’d apologised for the bell ringer so would be least I could do 🔔🔕

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@pbrealey @ianp_10 @BristolBears Can’t recall last time I was this disappointed. Not much to shout for after first ten minutes. Teenager happy with catering though….

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@CrootMatt A very happy new year Matt

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@BristolBears @banterwithbats The news we’d been hoping for. Happy Christmas Joe 🎄⛄️

@Lesley_Faith @Harlequins @BristolBears I keep staring at this map. It would be a big step for SWT to lay on trains at this stage but everything crossed https://t.co/TyjP5tCqK3

@funkyhousernb Great start to his life. And you could say there was cradle to grave care from the team….Sheppard and Cue were there for my Gran’s funeral

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@funkyhousernb Happy memories either way 🙂

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@funkyhousernb I was wondering- looks like Kevin Bogira to me

[Simon Tillotson @simontillo]

@BristolBears It doesn’t get much better than watching @Ljmorahan play for @BristolBears and there’s always a chance of sheer brilliance when you’re on the pitch. Thanks for everything you brought the team and fans 🧙‍♂️🪄

@Minnastiina Noted, thanks

Gearing up for the return of @BBCInOurTime next week - the 25th season. Excited about our guests and topics (and after 2 years we may even be able to offer tea/coffee again…)

Van Gogh’s works often have museum glass to protect from sunlight. And other things. Seems to be case with 🌻
