If you compare Gypsies to Sags I am sure that the Gypo’s might take offence as it would make them appear worse than they actually are.

En masse they piled into the IKEA end and paid a massive 50p for their programme which had a picture of them unsurprisingly scoring against “The Shit” on the front.

Positive support like that can only help whatever you think of a player. I can't imagine that happening down the road for one minute and made me proud to be a gashead". What was it the media said, '£775M may buy you titles but can never buy support like Bristol city'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and as Miah has over 1500 posts over that 5 year period I'd be amazed if he didn't know those names. It seems to be trendy now to say you can't name the other teams players. Whilst I couldn't give you the whole team, I reckon I could name half a dozen just based on names you hear on Soccer Saturday or the one's we take the piss out of n here!!

Lee Brown has been a solid, decent player for us who chose to stay with us when we dropped out of the league and also scored a last minute winner to get us promotion which led to one of the best night's drinking I've ever had! I was at the player of the year awards last night (which you will be delighted to hear was held in a big tent) and it was clear that he has a real affection for the club, football needs more players like him who 'get' what being a fan is. How come he’s leaving now then, if he such a true blue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utterly deluded idiots. They’re no better than anyone else and a quick look at their forum on match days prove this. Put that with the ‘Premier League fanbase’ comment from yesterday and you can see why we laugh at them so much. I doubt there’s a set of fans in the entire country who are more up their own arses than the wanky Sags. I agree with the majority of your posts, as usual you always convey matters in a precise and informative nature, but I have to wag a finger and slightly correct you here [for once] You are of course forgetting the sags' six fingered cousins, Swindon with their successful season in the premier league and three month long seasonal calendars surely they are more than a match when it comes to "fudge nudging" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 I could name; Lines [because he went off and bettered himself at the likes of Port Vale] Harrison [because he's a City fan] The tramp [only because his picture appears on here quite a lot] oh and Colin Daniel who wore their kit once!

Ska Junkie Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Lines Harrison The tramp (didn't know his name was Sinclair until today). Erm, uuummm, some old bloke from Millwall, that's genuinely it! I could probably name a fair few of their 1990 side though which shows just how totally irrelevant they are nowadays. Martyn, Alexander, Vaughan, GT, Tilson?, Mehew, Purnell?, Penrice, Hollo- *******-way, White, that Billy Ocean bloke ?.

The thing I would say about Swindon though...yes, the fans are brain dead idiots and, like the Sags, they have demonstrated in the past a hilarious knack of celebrating way too early only to then suffer humiliation. However, without having much contact with Swindon fans I don’t know if they’re partial to the constant cringy ‘wow, aren’t we amazing?’ shit that Gasheads come out with when they get a home crowd of 8k or 400+ for an away match?

Of course they know our team, they’ve spent many evenings this season watching us on Sky Sports. Fammy and Baker were also big money signings that received a lot of local media attention Pre season. I still think the record signing of Famara Diedhiou and the attention that received prompted Henbury Gas the following day to come out with his utter bullshit about a disabled bloke getting beaten up in AG. A kind of ‘well their club might have money but we’re better people than them horrible shitheads’ type yarn that was lapped up by most of the gullible idiots on that forum.
