Amen Richy. When that filth blocked a council plan to save City in 1982, a club that I didn't like became a club that I utterly despise and always will, just to get their shitty mitts on our stadium. Going bust isn't good enough for them, I want a very long and painful end for them. They wanted us to die so I want the same for that club and always will.

Those are the exact reasons us older generation utterly detest that pathetic shambles of a football club and all the crap they continue to spout. I still hate them now as much as i hated them in the 80's and 90's.

A gas mate of mine just sent me a photo of a t shirt they’ve brought out . I can’t ******* breath I’m laughing so much ?? so tinpot it’s unreal ???

It`s right what someone said above about how it`s hard for anyone under about thirty to know really why those of us of a certain age feel such deep hatred for them and are revelling in what they have become. Younger supporters just see the pantomime of them shooting themselves in the foot every other day but unless you were there in 1982 and for the years afterwards you cannot realise what a jealous, scummy, underhand and self- interested shower of shit they really are. They almost succeeded in destroying our club and stealing our ground and I can never, ever accept what they tried to do. Never forgive, never forget.

If our kicker could kick, and the Ref not gone back too many phases and given the try we would have been 16 points to the better. A win ugly with so many changes and injuries has to be the indication of a good squad

100%. That was after years of being kicked off the pitch by them, enduring “will you ever beat the gas” & putting up with their third world facilities. **** them, they tried to steal Ashton Gate from us in ‘82, & they were the only sporting organisation in the area that wouldn’t support the city having a venue if we got the World Cup. Not only do I never want them to play us again, I hope they fold. Parasites.

I have no idea, of course, but I can only think you must be under about 30 years of age...? It's very easy to mistake Rovers for the shambolic, embarrassing, joke of a club that we see today and think they are just a little figment of fun, there to keep us amused as an aside to whatever we are doing.... Those that remember them as a rival however, will/should never forget what a vile, rancid, cesspit of scum actually lurks over there. The absolute definition of "little man syndrome" who'd rather drink each others piss than help us if we were burning infront of them. Untterly vile club, whose supporters turn into mouth foaming, neanderthals at the very thought of any game that might possibly attract more than 8/9000 fans to it and their hatred of us goes beyond anything you might see in many other places. It's the 1 reason I'd actually entertain another Bristol Derby, so that those young enough to only think of Rovers as a jovial laughing stock, get to actually see the grotesque underbelly of what they've only ever seen from a distance. For many, who remember them from 20+ years ago, their troubles are a delight to behold and they couldn't happen to a more fu###d up bunch of spawn. Their kit, their dirge of a song, their inferiority complex, their inbred, bitter, deluded interpretation of who/what they are, makes every moment they struggle, a real pleasure..!

So would I but obviously Callum had the nuts to to fight Canelo so that won’t happen anytime soon,maybe Billy Joe can fight Johnny Nelson next to keep him ticking over

Harsh penalty although he penalised us for an identical one in the first half. Got away with that. Though if Eden could kick it would have been more comfortable.

The page it's officially announced https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/9095/official-matty-taylor-joins-city?page=32

I'd rather eat a nob cheese sandwich , than see him go to the sh@t . We got Taylor Matty Taylor just don't think you understand, He's a legend at the gas, told Johnson,stick your offer up your ass....... We got Matty Taylor!!!!! "This is quality monday night entertainment" .... yes, it was ??

https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/9095/official-matty-taylor-joins-city?page=3 Old but gold. __ haha. I can't see it. Why would Matty go to a club failing in the championship once again. The Teds who would love it just for the reaction are kidding themselves - they are a sh1te championship side.. No way would we sell our players to them.

The three guitars going for it, freebird, by Lynyrd skynyrd. Bear outro ever. Class scene and I know what you mean about great feeling after winning.

They'll be spitting feathers this morning when the Mansion Bet "There's only one team in Bristol " leaflet drops out from the weekend Bristol Post!

It was first sung I recall about Frank Worthington back in the day.. Leicester fans singing Frankie Frankie Worthington and the East End drowning it out with wanky wanky Worthington

Ha ha. Yes mate, I remember that, you belter!! Sadly I wasn’t able to enjoy the evening in Bath afterwards. I got arrested when we were 3-1 up and carted off to the station. When released at about 8pm, I got the Badgerline bus back to Longwell. I was singing “we beat the Rovers 3-1” all the way home on the bus and was getting some funny looks. Twas only when I got off the bus and met some mates in the Crown at Longwell that they told me we’d won 4-2!! ?? I’m sure it was the same night that we ended up at my mates at 4am watching the Bruno-Tyson fight. I must’ve been absolutely wrecked that night!!!

What a night ! Heart pumping when Devon Shite went through on goal (their version of Bas Savage) Heart in mouth when Hollowank stepped up for the pen, and missed ! ?? Complete and utter bedlam when Louie scored !!! ??

Only time I’ve gone to leave early was when we lost to Leicester 0-4 under McInnes. We were 0-3 down at halftime and I’d just had a guts full and my mate agreed. Anyway we were in the Williams or Eastend I think - can’t remember - but as we walked out of the ground at the Park End we thought ‘what are we doing here - let’s get back in and support the boys’. So as we were at the park end and the Dolman gate was open for the smokers (and it wasn’t exactly a sell out), we thought nothing of it and went and sat in the dolman. Found a couple of seats near the bottom, checked with everyone around us that we weren’t nicking anyone’s seats very politely and everyone was sound. Anyway just after we went 0-4 down a group of stewards came marching over and escorted us out saying we weren’t in our seats and were breaking the stadium rules. Cue much hilarity from the those in the Atyeo that saw us being walked out along the bottom of the Dolman with a rendition of ‘make them stay make them stay make them stay’!! Very funny and learnt my lesson!

Oh what a night. Probably my favourite Bristol derby moment since watching City since early 80s. The tension the hatred the winning goal. Goosebumps

I always think of Larry Grayson when I see their high camp, ludicrous motif.

Absolutely. Only thing better than them get relegated to non league is them going bust . Horrible shitty little club

I have Murray 4 up going into the last

Would have been comfortably ahead anyway if Eden had remembered to pack his kicking boots, so definitely deserved to win I'd say.

A wins a win, brilliant to do it so late on. Nowhere near our best, possibly the worst performance for a while. But it’s 2 wins out of 3, without plenty of first team players and without playing anywhere near our best. Lots to improve on, but positive signs. Feel for saints, was a harsh penalty and they put in a hell of a shift defensively.

Believe it ,brother !

Americanos... Holly Johnson

Interesting one tonight, on paper should be a tight game, Saints have close to a full side out and bris have plenty of omissions. In the awful weather it’s going to come down to who can gain superiority at scrum time, which is where I can see us overpowering them. Saints’ packs been mullered a fair bit recently, and ours is possibly the best in the league at the moment. Going to be an interesting one anyway, a bonus point would be a big statement

Odd how things stick in ones head, eh Slarti? I struggle to recall who we played last week but remember as clear as day sitting in a carriage in Cleethorpes station, Aug 72, listening to Popcorn on the chart show. Schools Out was No 1. Like many at the time and after footy on the Saturday, my folks were prone to taking me on the BR "mystery away-day" service from Parson Street on a Sunday. The trauma runs deep.....

Yep it was

That was definitely the fight. We got the train back from Oldfield Park and walked from Temple Meads to the Wedlocks. The playerss came in for beers with us and stayed in the boozer until about 6am watching the fight. What a day and night

I feel like he's wasted his career with inactivity. Covid obviously not helped. I think he's going to end up as one of those fighters where he retires without us really knowing how good he could've been.

Mmm mmm mmm mmm - Crash Test Dummies

Why do they do it to themselves? Its impossible NOT to laugh at them. Deluded slagheads.

I'd rather jump off the suspension bridge with lead boots on , eating a Nobby cheese sandwich , than my boy ,my hero ,my Matty , going over to the red tossers

...or spitting out their mothers' pubes.

Charlton fans waited 8 months to get back into their stadium to watch their team, and they boo'd them off. You love to see it

The elephants were called Wendy and Christina

When you listen to the opening, driving chords on the keyboard riff you realise it seems obvious..... Don't we know it Slarti, don't we know it......

Son of my Father Chicory Tip

On a different note, I listened to some of Radio Bristol's Gas programme on the way home from work, priceless comedy. The Director of football was claiming that 4 left backs and no strikers is not poor recruitment. He went on to point out that two of the left backs can actually play left wing back! He also criticised Tisdale for saying the squad was unbalanced. That seems like a marriage made in heaven..not.

Yep they did. Ended somewhat abruptly. Wanchors

We don't have any showers up at Portaloo Park. Our players train on the bowling greens there and then retreat to a secret location to get changed and talk tictacs.

Realisation kicking in that they have non league facilities

It was the worst of times. It was the worst of times. It was .... (hang on, while I google) ... the age of foolishness .... the epoch of incredulity ...... it was ... season (s) of Darkness .... winter(s) of despair .... etc, etc. For yer @Davefevs and yer other data sorts, it was ten games without a win*, and more than four years, from Gary Smart's somewhat freakish and speculative hoik from 25 yards in Jan '87 to Louie Donowa finally shutting them up in March '91. It was our worst run in Bristol derbies. It was the worst time to be a City fan, in terms of local rivalry and statistics. Some of us were heroically there for every one of those ten games without a win, as well as being "there" in 1982, and we therefore reserve the right to moan about everything and anything to do with City we feel the need to. Because we were there. From '64 to '81 we went eleven consecutive derby games without losing (League and FA cup games). We also had a ten game run of not losing to them in the 30s. We weren't all there for that. I think Joe Jordan managed us for six of that ten game run-of-shame and he never got the better of Gerry Francis but what he did do was, in his second full season as a manager, get us promoted. And Rovers had to share the headlines and the euphoria and the acclaim, because we went up at the same time as them. Then Joe's team beat them six months after he left. Although Joe had the money to spend that Francis didn't have, GF had more experience as a manager, and had failed at Exeter (always a useful experience to those able to learn from it). They had the edge in coaching at that time. It was a difficult time to be a City fan, failing to get out of the Third Division and having 5000 of them crowing like they had never crowed before (or since). It seemed to be neverending. But it didn't last. Looking back, it was only four and a bit years, about the same amount of time LJ was our head coach (not that I'm comparing the two eras). * (We won a Glos cup during this run, I do believe).

One of the reasons I cringe when some ******* roaster shows up on here saying “ermagerd y is there a thread about the gas do u think stoke have one about vale?” Anyone who remembers the Gas when we used to play them every season will remember how grotesque their fans are. They’re bad enough now when their funny little club is a complete basket case. I can’t even image what they would be like if we got relegated from the Football League by a club wearing our kit ? I intend to fully enjoy this situation until they do something to change it.
