Ep85 - Falcons swoop to leave Bears empty handed and a look ahead to the Irish game

10/18/21 • 57 min

In this week's show we give our thoughts on the Bears latest league defeat, a 13-5 reversal away at Newcastle Falcons. A much changed team saw plenty of fresh faces against the Falcons but some of the old problems raised their heads again.
We also talk to the one and only Jerry Browne from the London Irish Supporters Association about the forthcoming trip to Brentford to play the Exiles in their new stadium.
All this and more on this week's show.

Ep84 - Not again! Bears give up big lead in defeat to Quins and a Falcons preview.

In this week's show we try and put on a brave face as we discuss the 52-24 defeat away at Harlequins. It was just like last season's semi-final. Bristol scored with ease in the first period and were then blown away by Quins in the second half.
We ask what went wrong and how much scope does Pat have to fix things in the short-term. At least the women's team shone a light this weekend with an impressive victory at Harlequins and sit top of the table with five wins from five.
There's also Pete's Premiership Preview as we look forward to the next match with our friends from the Folk on Falcons podcast. We speculate on the selection choices to be made for the game at Newcastle.
We also lament the passing of the programme with 7 out of 13 clubs halting production of paper publications this year. We ask listeners what they think - time to go fully digital or keep the printed programme going.
All this and more on the show with Tony, Lee and Pete.

Ep86 - Bears bounce back to winning ways at Irish and our Worcester preview

After our rest week Lee, Miles, Pete and Tony are back to discuss the Bears 45-33 win away at London Irish. A gripping fixture saw Bristol score three unanswered tries in the first 20 minutes and then finish the half with three men in the sin bin.
In a gutsy performance, Bristol managed to take control in the second half to run out as winners. We talk tactics, performances and take a closer look at some of those yellow card moments.
We then turn our attention to the next game at home against Worcester. Giving us the inside track on the Warrior's season so far is Marcello Cossali-Francis, sports editor at the Worcestershire News. We discuss Pat Lam's selection options and give our score prediction for the game.
