Anyone about my age (36) who went to school in North Bristol around 1990 and specifically when they beat us with a few games to go to pop us to the title will have relished the last 15 years!

I think you can justifiably claim "unreasonable behaviour" over the last two years as grounds for divorce.

Living on the dark side and a fair few (misguided) mates that are gas, I can't help but take the piss without mercy. That said, I do dislike them intensely but not as badly as they dislike us. It's great to be a red in east Bristol tbh, loads of kids wearing our beloved red shirt and loads of old school gas twisted with jealousy! All that said, I would rather see a young 'un in a gas shirt than a Man U / Arsenal one. Obviously, I would report the parent for mental cruelty but support a local side rather than a team on sky IMHO.

The only emotion I have for them is pure and utter dustain. id love to be one of you chaps that just say I don't care about them, they're an irrelevance etc. but I can't, I just ******* hate them , and not afraid to show it

I give it "Ten Minutes" or so until this thread is invaded. I thought I didn't care until I realised just how amused I was when they dropped out of the basement last year. I was having this discussion with a Sag mate on Facebook last night...he is always very quick to bite and didn't disappoint when I commiserating them on narrowly missing out on taking Chesham to a shock replay! My last comment in the thread sums up how I feel about them nowadays... Naturally a little bit of context is missing, but you get the gist I'm sure: ".......The original post was because despite the fact the Gash haven't been actual rivals for some fifteen or so years it still amuses me as much when they fail miserably as it does you when we fail. It just so happens that it hasn't occurred so much to us in comparison over the last two years. Are you telling me you'd keep your mouth shut if the shoe was on the other foot and city had lost at home to Chesham? Of course you wouldn't, and neither would I expect nor want you to. That's what the rivalry, such as it is, is about. As I was posting it I guessed you'd get the hump. It wasn't the point of me posting it. I'm a city fan with city mates who would share the humour, but I'll be bollocked if I'm gonna moderate my posting just so a few sensitive souls don't get upset! Do that, and the rivalry dies there and then. See ya tomorrow night! smile emoticon

Jumpers for goalposts, white plastic garden chairs for seating, Santa's grotty grotto, you can take the club out of non-league but you can't take the non-league out of the club, Nick Higgs the lawyers' pension plan, horse-punching. Big up the Rovers! If you had to come up with a comedy version of a local rival then they would be pretty close to it. The popcorn is on standby for their next jolly jape.

Surprised no one else picked up on this. At the start of the week Cambridge Utd sacked their Manager. In the words of the Board "Losing at home to Bristol Rovers was the final straw". Obviously even teams in the same division as Rovers look down on them.

To be fair, he'd probably have choked on it

Back to the drawing board .... https://www.etsy.com/listing/239520721/bristol-rovers-fc-cufflinks

I understand from a very unreliable source that the Gas 'threw ' this match to concentrate on their promotion bid.

One month? Lets be realistic. Start with one week..

I have an old friend who is Gas and to cheer him up i bought him a sandwich for his lunch ... Cheese and ham . He said he were n't hungry .

I wonder if they printed the result in the Grimsby newspaper

It's a bit like marriage. You fall madly in love with someone, and commit yourself to them until death, and then after a few years they really annoy the **** out of you, but you still can't help but love them.

How can I dislike a club that has given me so much laughter? Only yesterday I had to change my underwear after hearing their FA Cup result.

I'm kind of old school in the sense of being City. Bristol R*vers, to be fair to them, have provided me with something money can't buy. Long may real football exist!

Jeeez, talk about motivation.............

I liked this comment on GasChat: "Why was Harrison still on after half time? Clearly tired from a long trip back from Bolton last night."

about an hour ago lpgas said: Lets remember that Chesham are not only in the Southern League Premier, but they are 17th in the Southern League Premier, having conceded 25 goals. Good job we didn't play Weymouth or another team at the top of the table. Of course our team today were a disgrace, set up badly by Clarke. We started at walking pace and later progressed to a slow trot. Passing was poor except for Sinclair who managed at least 40 passes backwards. And he should have pulled Gosling off after 20 minutes, absolute disgrace. Harrison, again acting like a petulant child falling over at every opportunity. Thought that they would tire in the second half but they didn't because for all our huffing and puffing there was no quality. I expect Chesham will have harder games against teams in their own league than we gave them. I have always been a big fan of DC but if he cannot improve the team or at least get them to win at home then I would say thanks Daryl but goodbye

That's nothing, my Grandad hated everyone!
