Bristol Rob Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Don't forget the Fewers also went to Dixons and got one of those massive televisions. They are just waiting for Wally to count his Christmas money and once he has enough, they will buy the bracket so they can pin it up somewhere.

I said it the other day. I think the bloke is a comedy genius. He knows that his audience have incredible delusions of grandeur, are completely deluded, thinks that winning the Watney Cup on penalties during the 1970’s automatically elevated their status to “massive club” and that they probably have other psychological problems after devouring a 1 star food rated Diamond Kebab following a night in Chasers drinking bottles of piss and getting off with their sisters. So he has played right into their hands. I bet he will be darning a tee-shirt with Holloway’s head on it next with a speech bubble saying “Let’s all play ‘Find The Sheed’ed’” and quoting the glory days of 1990 where winning the title meant nothing, but stealing the title from “The Sh1t” and getting one over on they gurt Ted’s meant everything. The 6 fingered ones will be jizzing on their giros and reminiscing about the Tote End by 8am in the Kingswood Colliers tomorrow.

SirColinOfMansfield Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 DICK-HEAD Talking of which .... from his new comedy spot in the Post ... "Congratulations to Graham Coughlan on being appointed Bristol Rovers manager, having transformed fortunes on the pitch during his spell as caretaker boss. I wish him nothing but the best for the future. And I can reveal through this column that I envy him because I would have loved the opportunity to return to the club closest to my heart. Lots of fans have contacted me over the past few weeks asking if I was interested in the job, but I didn’t feel it was right to comment publicly until an appointment was made. Now, while I am pleased that Rovers have gone for a man like Graham, who appears to have the same passion for football as predecessor Darrell Clarke, I want to make it clear that I wish I was in his position today. Having had the privilege of being manager before, I see it as a job to die for. I didn’t even get as far as an interview, but I want the fans to know that had the club wanted me, I would have been over the moon. Rovers always have been and always will be my club, wherever else I may be employed. I crave success for whoever is in charge of the team."

If they didn't bother interviewing someone as obvious as Hollowhead, then they probably never bothered interviewing anyone. I think Coughlan would have got the job to the end of the season no matter what, luckily for them, he has had a dead cat bounce so far, which makes him look like the obvious appointment. It's worth noting that very few clubs look at that instant effect and make a similar decision, look at us with Pemberton for example. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you only count a third of one of those blocks in the bottom tier, it has approximately the same number of seats as the new stand at the Mem. How similar do you want it to be..?!

Guest Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Wally already has his next interview answers planned - "So WAC, what has happened with the new training ground and stadium that were planned", "well Geoff, the lovely manager we have in charge now has assured us all that we do not need any of it to progress as a club, he is a great manager and a personal friend. What he tells us all is 100% true and accurate, and therefore it is a pointless waste of funds getting the plans and the building of such facilities". "I would like to reiterate it has absolutely nothing to do with rumours that I haven't got a pot to p1ss in". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
