(therefore any game against Plymuff will always carry an extra bit of niggle for me, as will Southampton). Not really. 99.9% of our fanbase will say it’s the gas regardless of whether they were born/lived in Bristol or not, because it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hate playing them, but love beating them. The alternative, as most of us who`ve been around long enough will know only too well, doesn`t bear thinking about. It ***** you up for weeks.

EmissionImpossible Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Would love to have regular Bristol derbies again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gert Mare Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 Having witnessed the shocking spell of defeats we suffered against the Sags in the 80’s despite being the far better team in the majority of those fixtures I don’t miss the Bristol derby. I can’t stand to hear Goodnight Irene and if they do win against us we never hear the last of it. They go on and on and on about it like we somehow deserve it for being arrogant, even though it’s their fans who have a problem with us. They would love to see us go under as they did back in 1982, so as far as I am concerned they can stay in the tented shithole and rot until they fold.

Which is a right pain as they usually beat us...... You must be young.....we played them 23 times in the league between 1971 and 2008 without losing to them....I went to Ninian Park five times and saw us win five times....they ain’t a bogey team in my opinion....

Do you mean ordinary league season only? We lost 1-0 at Ninian in the first leg play-off in 2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beat them home and away (2-0 tinnion and Roberts both games I think?) in 02/03 - but as a night match and a young'un I didn't go! That season we lost in the play-offs over two legs to Peter bloody Thorne. Then we didn't play them for a while until we went up and did beat them 1-0 at the Gate first season but then had those Championship years of regularly getting beaten including that 0-6 in the FA Cup (?). So I think I've only seen 3/4 wins against them, and having gone to LEGOLAND to watch us lose under SOD and a dull 0-0 under Cotts, I always think we're up against it versus them. Gutted I'm just that bit too young to have been there for games at Ninian - one in particular sticks out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was just a question. Play offs are clearly related to the league season and can arguably be defined as part of it. So I don’t think the sarcasm was really deserved.

Blimey so you are a young ‘un....I loved the games at Ninian....the raw atmospheres were something special and we always beat them over there whenever I went...it was brill, but walking out at the end past grinning police officers, who were obviously gonna do nothing to stop their reception committee, wasn’t for the faint hearted....

Septic Peg Posted March 7, 2019 Report Share Posted March 7, 2019 I think the only reasonable time we'll play Roverzzz again is in a friendly/testimonial. Louis wanted Roverzzz for his testimonial and the club tried to dissuade him apparently for the obvious reasons. Still reckon Scotty is long overdue a testimonial...

Definitely enjoyed the edge at Ninian Park, sadly lost.....walk to & from the station, beers in the Prince of Wales......then beating them up bigtime on the pitch! Remember sitting in The Albion pub one Saturday completely under the radar, only Reds in there. Like an occasion at The Britannia in Plymouth, packed full of Plymouth & Millwall when City rushed the front door & windows....just 6 of us in there! Edgy.
