That is such an obnoxious reply! Who are you to tell people what they should find humorous and who or where to post their "banter"..? If there were numerous threads appearing, then you'd have some point, but with everything appearing in one thread, clearly entitled to suggest the topic of content that it may contain, it's easy to avoid if people's reference to your friends is not to your own particular taste. As a 37 year old lifelong City supporter, damn right I enjoy mocking the blue few at the never ending shambles that is their club. You have every right not to like it, not to partake in the ridicule and be the more mature, forgive and forget type pacifist. Just as I and others have the right to comment on each and every episode of their, quite frankly hilarious, circus and mock their dillusional beliefs. Especially on a thread clearly entitled "Bristol Rovers" Get off your high horse and stop re-confirming the views of many on here, that you are a cantankerous old git with a sickening soft spot for those in Horfield who in return, dillusionally mock us every bit as we do to them.

Again, who are you to tell people whether they should or shouldn't "hate" them..? I'm sure the vast majority of us on here know, work with or are even related to those of a Rovers persuasion. I doubt many actually "hate" them as individuals, but then it comes to football, I most certainly do "hate" everything about Rovers. Their inferiority complex, their thinking they are super fans, the history of our rivalry and outspoken venom towards City from different figure heads of their club. Even the sight of that ridiculous quartered shirt or the drone of the god awful "Irene" dirge make me feel physically sick. Does that make me immature..? Then so be it. As fans of my age and older will recall, we have plenty of old rivalry, disgraceful behaviour, antagonism and regularly derby day confrontation to keep the hostility very much at the forefront of our memories. If you are liberal enough to pass your experiences off and "forgive and forget", then good for you. I for one will despise Bristol Rovers until the day I die. That doesn't mean on a day to day basis that I "hate" every individual who follows them.

opinions are like arseholes, and so is robbored

Rather immature response...

Shouldn't have stolen their ground then.

I don't think that highly of him!

Why would a mature person constantly seek attention on a forum?

By tweaking your customer service skills, you could progress beyond the minimum wages positions.

Would I take a load of mates to go and watch Rovers play at Wembley..? Like **** would I..! I'd rather gauge my eyes out with a rusty spoon.

He posts obnoxious replies like he does, not because he is 'mature'...but because he loves the attention. He craves it in fact He loves playing the pantomime villain...I've never known anyone like it. When attention starts to diminish....he posts something else antagonistic . He always gets a rise...and once again, his need for attention is fulfilled. If anyone should grow up....it should be @Robbored

Does that apply to Gary Johnson?

Since this thread has adopted an Americanism all by itself, I thought I get off my chest two other Americanisms I can't stand. 1. Do the math:. It's not even do the maths, it's do the arithmetic 2. Back in the day: A lazy man's/women's "back in the days of yore", which is more lyrical. Now can somebody please change the title to the Bristol Rovers Dustbin Thread.

So why did you go to see Rovers play at Wembley?

Ah yes hideous isn't it...

Don't get me started on"can I get" just don't ok

Not in person - will have to wait for the gap to close a bit more! Looks quite impressive from the photos I've seen though.

And there sums up the retarded mentality of the blue few. Do you not understand that the reason we mock your shithole of a ground is because it actually is, literally, the worst ground in the football league and the fact that your "billionaire"owner deems it fitting for "the 6th richest club in England" to put up another tent with seats and a 4ft roof over the Directors bar entrance is in a whole different galaxy to Ashton Gate, which has been developed into one of the most impressive, uniquely designed stadiums (not biggest, before you try and twist it) in the country. #gaslogic

So in short, you no longer think its "cool" to slag off the Rovers anymore because you have grown up? Perhaps then, you could allow your fellow Reds the courtesy of "growing up" at their own rate and for they themselves to decide that its not "cool" anymore much as you did yourself? I understand where you and others come from. I hated Rovers in the late 80s and early 90s as a teenager. Those days are long gone but never forgotten, i still enjoy having a laugh at them and posting the odd dig regardless of if it is "cool" or not. Why do people who have no interest even bother clicking on the thread, let alone posting in here. Bizarre.

Simple. Because those of us who are mature have lived through times when they have been serious rivals, and indeed have been a major irritant (will never forget or forgive Gary Smart!) I cannot comprehend how a mature genuine City fan wouldn't want to criticise them and slag them off.

I ****** hate that phrase !

Not only do I have mates, I don't have to lower myself to them being Rovers fans.

Grrrrrrrr.........if I was serving people, be it food, bar or whatever and somone started with "can I get" I would reply "NO....I am paid the minimum wage to get it for you, just give me the friggin money "

I've heard your lot label it Trashton Gate several times; Trash Can is a new one on me. Let's face it though, it's never been relevant - you've always had a hovel compared to our place...Eastville, Twerton and your current slum are far worse than Ashton Gate ever was.

What's with the American English? Dustbin i'll have you know!

Problem was, before the thread, we could have three of four going at any given time about various things. This at least keeps it in one place.

Even making a sigining they make themselves look tinpot This is off the BBC transfer thred "DONE DEAL Bristol Rovers sign Chelsea duo Posted at19:10 League One side Bristol Rovers have signed Chelsea duo Jake Clarke-Salter and Charlie Colkett on loan - although this is the second time the Pirates have tweeted the news, having originally used a picture of Ruben Loftus-Cheek."

Re-read and fully inhale the word "IF " but a good shout non the less, maybe I could wear a tabard with lots of badges on to prove I'm a customer kinda guy....Doh !

Hahahahaahahahahahahaha the irony! (Should that be Ireney?!)

Calm down Robbo, there's not a single Rovers fan I know that I dislike but as a club they are parasites and pathological liars

"It's banter and a laugh. No one takes it seriously" Sounds quite a lot like this thread. That the 'reasonable' gasheads are made to feel relatively welcome on a City forum and aren't immediately banned (unlike elsewhere) shows a huge amount of maturity IMHO

Would love you to expand on that one...... What a hypocrite.

Clearly not enough tarp and white plastic seats for their tastes. Oh and a Santa's Grotto, how could I forget the Grotto.

I really liked Heff, I wish we could have held on to him and given him more game time after we sold Lita. He was just unfortunate that LL had a great season and stayed fit pretty much all of it.

Was the money all right? The ink didn't run?

Think u could be right . I'm sure Devon White scored against whilst playing for Notts county . Obviously a different game. Memory ain't as good as it was

Yeah I remember that one, I won the half time draw and went onto the pitch area to collect my 500 quid. It was heaving it down and went from wet pitched to waterlogged in the duration of half time. By the time i got back to my seat, i was absolutely drenched!

But I thought they were coming for us.

Bumped for @bs16bcfc

I bought my first pair of patch-pocket flares with a 6 inch waistband at the city market

Rovers fans will be on here soon asking just what a watertight contract is.

Street Spirit Fade Out (Radiohead)

Great contrast, Fordy, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to pick you up on one of those points: they don't have 'a tent for a stand', they have TWO tents for stands. Two.... However, both do new seats in.....

Pretty easy to counter... A team not capable of matching Reading U23's. A 'billionaire' owner yet to spend anything. A best player who wanted to leave the club, but agreed to stay (for a year) when no one good wanted him. The shittest ground probably ever seen. A tent for a stand. A manager who is beyond unprofessional. And, most importantly, a weekly car boot at their home ground.

Bloody DNA.

Thats ok Pete, we can just put up some scaffold and tarp that bit across, add a few white plastic patio chairs, voila, you have a top stadium!

Sod all in transfer fees and your 3 best players aren't yours!

Here's my thought's enough money to buy the whole of BRFC PLC, ground, tents, sheds, shipping containers, the whole squad, a Jordanian bank, a fleet of camels (although the squad is full of camels) and still enough for a down payment on UWE with no outside investment needed to help out your billionaire blagger with the nice watch. Our biggest mistake was not being able to teach him the offside law, perhaps if we had we could have got 30 mil for him, but we'll live with the 15 mil and a 3-1 win without him against his new club and another 20k plus crowd. That's my thoughts. PS:- Save up your pocket money for the great county ground rock and roll Swindle volume 2 and I hope it pisses down again.

Exactly well said that man (or possibly woman, I don't know!) Much like those sniggering at our lowest competitive fixture attendance last night the issue at stake is much bigger than a point scoring exercise. What Swindon are doing is shameful. And I'm proud that such a low turnout happened last night at our, and other EFL Trophy, games as the implications of letting this slip through unchallenged are just too great for our beautiful game.

Nah I dont think they'll spend that much.
