Ok, fair enough, it does say the article is 'By The Bristol Post' though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Hitler Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 Time to move the thread into Classics now? There have been some hilarious moments but they've reverted to being a normal football club again. Comparing away attendances for cup games doesn't have the same laugh out loud factor as "I bin frew two divorces Geoff...". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bert tann Posted August 26, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 (edited) As the second greatest manager in Rovers history (after Darrell Clarke) I am dumbfounded by the abuse aimed at me on the fans forums and will therefore be boycotting the Swindon game on Saturday. Instead I shall be at the Old Vick Theatre to enjoy Gordon Bennett’s latest play, The Sophistry Boys, a brand new chest warming production of that classic western TV series “The Lone Arranger”. In the opening scene sheriff “Wild Nick” Higgscock disappears through the back door of the Court House as a masked stranger from way out east, The Loan Arranger, gallops into town and immediately starts redecorating the saloon. Meanwhile back at the ranch his faithful sidekick Tonto, played by Stephen Hamster, reveals that the undercarriage is down and the runway lights are on which causes great confusion because aeroplanes won’t be invented for another twenty years. Wigwams spring up everywhere and the natives begin to have reservations so after the bank safe is blown open and found to be empty there is only a muffled surprise (they can’t touch you for it). But when an old fiddler arrives on the evening stagecoach and promissory notes are seen fluttering like confetti down Main Street the whole cast is soon pictured in rapturous celebration at the memorial bordello run by Eve O’Lotion a notorious Irish financial masseuse. Tickets may be obtained online and from a number of convenient outlets across the city but only Bristol Rovers Privilege Club members can queue up outside the Mem for hours on end to find out if there are any seats left.

The last few months with nothing happening is just the lull before the storm. Trust me, I used to be a Boy Scout. Dib dib dib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dib dib dib I'm not saying don't talk about them or pretend that there is no rivalry but this enormous thread came about because of some seriously funny stuff. If they start up again with the comic capers then huge thread time again but with this one always near the top of our board I feel that I know more about them than their own fans do; and I don't want to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingswood Village Posted August 26, 2016 Report Share Posted August 26, 2016 ha ha ha! Come on - really? Do you really want to go there about attendances? ha ha - bless these funny gas heads they do make I laugh. 4K crawl out from under a rock to visit Stamford bridge and it all starts over again - a good mate of mine is of a gas persuasion and even he admits that a large percentage of the rovers fans are totally deluded.

Said like the true Rovers fan you clearly aren't (as I've said before). If anyone else on here can't clearly see that those are the words of a City fan 'pretending' to be a Rovers fan then they're obviously deluded.

You may fool many on here but not me my City supporting friend .. One of our strengths used to be the ability to laugh at ourselves. Another was the ability to use shrewdness in choosing when, where and how we should compete with Bristol City. Under the Nicholas Higgs regime we blundered from crisis to crisis serving up plenty of ammunition for our foes and becoming identified by the neutral sports fans in Bristol, whom we will need on board if we are ever to progress, as a joke of a football club. We were expecting something different from the new regime. More professionalism, more investment and a strategic plan setting out a future vision in which we felt included. So that we could genuinely stand prowed and gain the true respect and admiration of others instead of having to constantly build ourselves up and slap ourselves on the back at every opportunity no matter how trivial.

What have we got Danny ? As I've said before - challenging what a club does and offering constructive criticism is healthy. Too many fans follow blindly and don't question what is happening. So I have no problems with a supporter genuinely asking searching questions. No problems at all. However, also as I've said before a genuine 'fan' would also balance that criticism and recognise some of the positives that comes out out of the club. You, my friend, constantly come on to the staunchest rivals site and constantly sneer, snipe and criticise everything and everything related to the Gas. As far as I'm aware you don't post on any of the Rovers forums (the club you're supposed to support) as I don't recognise your style there but I'm happy to be corrected if I am mistaken about that. Did you post anything positive after promotion back from the Conference? No. When the Al Qadi's took over and removed the immediate danger of administration? No. When the club were promoted from L2? No. As I said the other day, compared to where we could have been 2 years after Mansfield to where we are today, even the most critical supporter would recognise we're in a much better place. Yes, there's a long way to go. Yes, the Al Qadi's still have a lot to prove BUT your constant sneering and even the use of the word 'Prowed' above (that ONE fan used - Christ if you want me to point out all the spelling and grammatical mistakes on this forum I'd be here all day!) proves to me exactly what you are. You know it, I know it. Most others deep down know I'm right too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
