  1. Take the piss all you want, but in my book a first round game AND a replay constitutes a run in my book . When you also add in the fact that for once we got knocked out by a division 5 team rather than a non league one, I'm quite pleased

  2. Do we **** as like! Quicker they go bust in my eyes the better, some people seem to forget how they tried their damnedest to finish us off in the 80s'!

  3. Ffs lads, we've got an open goal for a day of piss taking and we are shanking it Tom Nichols style to engage in some totally unnecessary navel gazing. Can we not leave the existential crisis for another time and just enjoy laughing at the hopeless ******* today please? Barnet hahahaha

  4. It's people like you, who go to watch the 15ers and delight in their abject pain and misery, that give the rest of us "Ted's" such a bad reputation in North Bristol. Congratulations and well done, sir. I commend you.

  8. There was talk in the pubs, clubs and workplace, the Evening Post and the Green 'Un and the local news, no forums, no email, no social media, a very different world, yet it didn't stop there being lots of vitriol and glee at our imminent demise. If you didn't experience it, its hard to describe, the pubs were still busy back then, Thursdays were payday, there were collections, people who had never invested in anything other than William Hill and Courages were buying into schemes to save the club and it was an emotional time. The fact that other clubs offered hands of friendship at that time and the sags were ready to dance on our grave, is more than enough for me to never want to see them prosper.

  10. Doesn't mean the players mind BS4, they're obviously 'teds'. I gather 'loyal and true' now means 'BOOO', 'what a load of rubbish', '****** shit' and 'not fit to wear the shirt' by the way. Re: Rovers (a) The Ship Shape and Bristol Fashion Match Thre by NoMagRyan » 21 Nov 2018, 23:23 Also good to hear the Bristol Rovers 'army' are actually capable of making some noise after watching them sit in silence eating their sandwiches at The Hive for 90 minutes, even if that noise was them booing their own team. Couldn't have happened to a nicer team

  11. I beg to differ, Eddie. I don't see much evidence of both clubs thriving in two-club cities. Yes, of course Liverpool and Manchester are exceptions to that but in Sheffield, Stoke, Nottingham and of course, Bristol there only few examples whereby the strength of one club actually galvanises their rival. In contrast, I think that there is only one club in each of the entire counties of Leicestershire, Norfolk and Suffolk yet they have been able, over time to gain promotion to the top division (in the case of Leicester even winning it) won cups and competed in European competitions. God forbid but were SL to suffer a tragic accident such as that which afflicted the Leicester owner, we all know that in parts of north and east Bristol celebration parties would be held. Such nonsense happens in cities where support is polarised. I happen to think that in Bristol, the progress of both clubs is impeded by the presence of the other. Rovers fans can tolerate losing provided we've lost too; we laugh long and hard at all of their very many plights and somehow that takes away some of the pain and frustration we feel from our own teams (lack of) performance. They want, not just a new ground, but one which has a capacity of +1 more than ours. It's the brinkmanship which helps neither club and holds them back. It's the survival of the fittest as far as I'm concerned. Bristol will never support two successful football teams; there is barely room for one. If they die, we thrive eventually because that wouldn't necessarily happen immediately; it may take a generation but it's the best way forward. So I want them gone.

  13. No, it isn’t a Bristol thing. Every club across the country laugh at their rivals when they make fools of themselves....it’s just Rovers give us more to laugh at. That’s why this thread is so long, if they weren’t so arrogant, thinking their support is superior to everyone else we wouldn’t laugh at them anywhere near as much when they get put in their place whilst screaming abuse at their own players, management and owners (something they pretend only happens at City).

  15. Come on, we're above the "superfan" stuff surely. Everybody on here supports the same club or we wouldn't be on here in the first place. My only self-applied rule is that if I haven't actually seen a game then I don't disagree with the opinion of someone who has; ditto if I haven't seen a run of games and then don't disagree with the assessment of a player's recent form with someone who has.

  18. The way football is going, its struggling to support the 92 clubs spread around the country, if they were to fold and disappear, the longer term move would be for those that wanted to attend live football would go to the one club. If we managed to reach the Prem and get established (I know, a bit pie in the sky, but one day....?) then surely any rivalry would be with the nearest Prem club (Cardiff?) and the smaller clubs would be forgotten. I don't see Man U seeing Bury or Stockport as rivals, Liverpool and Tranmere, Arsenal and Leyton Orient? Rational or not, I would very much enjoy seeing them go bust, karma after the way many of them behaved in 82!!!!

  20. What ever you say about LJ, he would NEVER conduct a post match interview looking like a wino slumped in Tesco's doorway ! At least he has a bit of pride in his appearance, if nothing else. But I suppose the prerequisite of being employed by that shower of shysters is to check your pride and self worth at the door !

  21. Thank you, certainly changed over the last few years. I often point out to fans at meetings and during match day that often there are only 2 Bristol police officers on for most games of football , previously this figure would have been much higher. As always I would ask people to consider the ride a long scheme, you can apply and come out for a shift with a response officer, neighbourhood officer or our ost units that do operational support . It is very much an eye opener ! All we ask is that you bring doughnuts !!

  22. No it isn't. We are in a period that would rank in the best 10-20% of our history, the fewers are in a period that would rank with the bottom 10-20% of theirs. Things have never been better in that respect

  23. Just watched a little of the Daryl interview I couldn’t stomach it all, but he does look like he has aged a lot recently. A sure sign of being under stress. Look at the lines on his brow, he isn’t a happy man at all. I bet he wishes he had bailed out when other clubs had been sniffing when his stock was high. No doubt he got swept along on the success of successive promotions and thought he could achieve everything with increasingly less and less. The penny must have dropped now that there is no new ground, no ground development, no new training facilities. He must also realise they can’t afford to pay him off either, so where is the incentive to turn it around? I guess so he gets a way out for himself by attracting another club is his only motive?

  26. My point is that in Stoke, Sheffield and Nottingham one of the team's in each city has enjoyed success without being galvanised by their rival. Leicester, Norwich and Ipswich have all enjoyed a modicum of success despite having no rival for many miles. Therefore the argument that City would benefit from a stronger Rovers is false. There is no evidence at all in favour of that argument We'll be better off with no local rival imo.

  27. This lot are sleepwalking us back to the conference and people that slated Higgs but defend the AQs are badly misguided. From where I'm standing nothing's changed apart from that god awful corner tent on the terrace and a lick of paint in the bar. Biggest false dawn in the club's history. They ain't "sleepwalking" they are charging like lemmings over the precipice , ******* good job too !

  28. I'm sorry......absolute bunkum! Bristol Rovers Football Club have absolutely no bearing on where we are, how well we do or what we achieve. We are miles ahead of them in stature, players, stadium, facilities, training ground, academy, finances, exposure, support, fan base.......everything. Our ambitions, performance and success, or lack of it, is purely down to what we do and would not change if the sags disappeared off the face of the earth tomorrow

  30. That's also my take on it. I recall John Hall lecturing us in the early 90s on how the Bristol clubs should merge and so would then emulate the success of Newcastle as the only club in the city. Well Newcastle is hardly lighting up the league these days but Liverpool with the constant pressure from Everton continues to thrive as do the Manchester clubs. I think two club cities produce stronger footballing teams and that historically (though I'm not flogging through the stats) we have alway done better with Rovers snapping at our heels. Rovers have been hilarious these last few years but as a result have put zero pressure on us so we're now content to float around mid table Championship which we wouldn't be content doing if Rovers were top of L1 or in the Championship with us and occasionally being higher than us. As it is we have zero competition because I'm not counting the faux rivalry with Cardiff or Swindon.

I don''t think so, can't help but think we need to get out own house in order before we piss ourselves at that lot, hardly worth bothering with anyway, but I am afraid, again Bristol Football is becoming a joke, when especially half the population can't tell the difference between City and Rovers.

  47. I’d love to hear her elaborate on this analogy.... ”yes, we were looking to adopt, so we went to have a look at the children available. As soon as we walked in, we fell in love with little baby “Chelsea” but she had come from a very well to do home and her tastes were way out of our league. Then we were shown baby “Gillingham” she was quite adorable, well presented and from a caring home. We’d have liked to take baby “Gillingham” home with us, but when we Weal tried to pick her up, she vomited all down his back, kicked up a tantrum and refused to come with us. As we were heading for the exit, very disappointed at failing to find a baby for the family, we noticed a little ginger child, with black eyes, terrible flea ridden hair and clothes which looked like they’d not been washed for months. There was poor little baby “Rovers”, cowering in the corner, all neglected with very simple needs & tastes, with, most importantly, very low levels of expectation for their future. So we picked her up and took her home with us. She was great, at first, funny & smiley (in a demented, cute kind of way) but to be honest, she’s not progressing very well now, she can’t get the hang of using cutlery, keeps shitting herself has a habit of grabbing the tv remote and turning it to Babestation. We’ve had enough of her now but I can’t see any other prospective parents wanting her, when so many other children are seeking parents, so we’ll keep taking the child benefit for her, leave her locked in the cupboard under the stairs, taking her the occasional left over dinner scraps until she either dies of starvation or we can sell the house and leave her there”
