Will never forget the sight of Bert Tann having to ask the Eastville gardener for his ball back after it destroyed a prized rose bush... and the irate gardener telling him and his mates to go and ''play up yer own end''.

Just asked one of the Sainsbury's checkout girls at Avonmeads ... she had absolutely no idea about any Sainsbury / BRFC Mem negotiations so on that basis I'm minded to treat the rumour with a degree scepticism.. Could still be credible though... considering the blanket of silence thought to have been agreed by both parties..

Strong rumour that Sainsbury and the Gas will resume talks on the future of The Memorial Stadium Bristol later this morning. It's believed an urgently convened video conference has been arranged between bosses of both organisations for 11am today. No official confirmation has been forthcoming from either party a brief announcement is expected around midday... No details of the shock move will be released following the debacle of false speculation and misinformation during previous negotiations on a similar project a few tears ago. Those proceedings ended acrimoniously, and a virtual news blackout is expected this time around. Potentially this could be great news for fans and connections of BRFC.

Rubbish Rob, Thanks to you all players now know that its easy to score goals, all they need to do is have a couple of fags and hey presto the ball flies into the net! Mind you packets of fags are so expensive nowadays I guess that goes some way towards justifying their large pay packets. Are ciggies tax deductible for footballers, can they claim back VAT as a business expense?

We could swap owners and coaching staff...

Goodnight Irene..

Probably got it on 'the tick' anyway...

What was that all about Alfie?

B.R.F.C Official Match-Day Shed ?

Cheers for the New jokes people.... they do raise a smile or two in gloomy times? Keep 'em coming, I'm sure they are appreciated. ?

Nothing, none? …. ffs Miserable sods! ?

I think with all the depressing news at the moment we could all do with some light hearted light relief... It's been a while since anyone has contributed to Big Tones Joke Of The Day thread.... COYR's … got any ' good un's ' ? Laughter is the best medicine.

Breaking news .. BBC... various other media reports in last hour.. Google it. (or , if you prefer, the other source... Marinakis owner of Olympiacos!) )

Several Arsenal players & officials have been in close contact with Olympiacos owner Marinakis during Europa League game 13days ago.. Marinakis has the Covid-19 virus..

Tonight's game between Man City & Arsenal has been postponed due to Coronavirus threat.

Sorry to hear that mate... Take care and Get Well Soon.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-51827356 ...closely involved in drawing up Government plans and public advice on tackling and avoiding the virus. ...she's had many recent 'contacts' in Downing St & Parliament. …who else and how many in high and important positions will develop symptoms and test positive as a result? We're in good hands, the Government has it under control, wash hands and sing Happy Birthday, hmm dont panic Mr Mainwaring! Bottom line (as always in this country) is 'the bottom line', protect the markets and the Economy. P.S. Get Well Soon Nadine. (and everyone else who is suffering)

TWO - N i l ffs... ! what went wrong? Guess the Mackems were blinded by the bright lights of The Mem and stunned to find themselves in such salubrious surroundings.... I dare say the facilities took their breath away. Cant think of any other conclusion to be honest... Damn the Gas and their perfect little lives....

...whack 'em, knack 'em, mack'em & fack'em.

Irene's In The Stream ..

Bristol Rovers holding a 'sleep out' at The Mem tonight in support of Bristol's homeless.. a very commendable worthy cause, so credit for that... but there is a sense of ' irony' about the whole issue considering their own precarious position on the 'home' front. (perhaps they're raising a few bob for the kitty incase they'll be in need of homeless support themselves soon eh?)

Cancel the season ? Sod that I love England in the Spring, and Summertime too...

China getting a grip? really? Dont hold your breath …. It took them about 300years to get rid of the Ming Dysentery! ?

Bye Bye Miss American Pie.... ? (thanks to Hesgoals too, woke up intending to listen on radio but thought I'd check out Hesgoals on the off chance.. worth waking up for, Fury 'boxed his ears' good 'n proper ) …Drove My Chevy To The Levy ?
