Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

So I see that Keane Lewis-Potter scored the first goal for Hull today.

Perhaps he should sing this song for the blue few with his namesake band?

(If you don't know the original Keane song, there's a link here): 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXH5yL8bDbU

I dreamed I was drowning
In the river Frome
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing like a home win

I dreamed I was drifting
Towards bottom four
I dreamed I had nothing at all
You could hear a dropped pin

Slipped away from your open hands
Into the goal
The only thing I could think of
Was the vain hope, of a foul on the keeper
    
You take the pieces of the draw that you crave
Cause you don't like the way games seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out in your head
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at things
Looks like
The Rovers are losing

I dreamed I was watching
A much better team
Considered leaving when they scored their third
No quality in the final turd

We cling to hope of levelling, by
Winning a corner
I try to hold onto what we are
But the shot just goes over the bar

You take the pieces of the dreams that you have
Cause you don't like the way games seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out in your head
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But any way you look at things
Looks like
The Rovers are losing

I dreamed I had nothing at all
Nothing like a home win
I dreamed I had nothing at all
Not even a nil-nil

You take the pieces of the draw that you crave
Cause you don't like the way games seem to be going
You cut them up and spread them out in your head
You're full of hope as you begin rearranging
Put it all back together
But in the final reckoning
Looks like
The Rovers are losing

 Rovers have started to use the magnificent new training ground at Almondsbury and Mr Al-Quidi has just announced through his Instagram account (36 million devotees) that it is to be named “The Quarter”.

I understand this is because only a quarter of it will ever be finished.

Shouldn’t it be called ‘The Inferiority Complex’

Counting down to “The Gap” time of 20 years exactly at 16.45 today 28 October 

Sorry to be pedantic but Tony Thorpe scored the winner in the 70th minute, so on a real time table we'd have gone above them 20 odd minutes before

A “packed out Mem”

When the **** does that ever happen? ?

I was driving back from the in-laws in WSM last night so heard part of the commentary and wondered why the commentator felt he needed to say that the Thatchers "stand" was empty?

Garner has blamed the ref again, no penalty & the opposition keeping 11 on the pitch usually equals a defeat, so he looks for excuses.

What a tosser he is.

Every time the oppo go down to ten and/or concede a penalty they get a result. Every time they play a DECENT side who avoid either of those they don’t just get beat, they get beat comfortably and then Garner comes out and blames the ref. It’s all a bit repetitive over there......

Yep, what a complete **** he is.

So far they have had a disproportionate number of penalties & opposition red cards, yet he acts like it should happen every game.

I think it's a requirement of being part of that club. Prior to any appointment they ask the following questions: Can you teach our players that can't cheat, to cheat. Can you encourage the players, staff and supporters to all pressurise the referee at the same time into giving decisions our way. If things don't work out with those tactics, we'll allow you to blame the officials, so that the next appointed officials know we've been hard done by and will cut us some slack.

Then as a club we can say what lovely people we are, call ourselves a family club, state what a great atmosphere we create, overstate our attendances and generally lie through our teeth about everything to do with BRFC.

The "defending" for the last Hull goal ???

 

Garner talked about building something special ?  - Comedy club??


After those mutants were giving it out over our defensive mistake at the weekend ?

Not just the defending but also the missed chances.

You would expect most of those to be put away in the Championship.

I know every side makes the odd howler now any again, but that looked pretty bad.

The worst one for me was not the Comedy Club mistakes that anyone can make but the "effort" if you can call it that by their LB/LWB to get across and cut out the cross on the first goal. Looked like he was running with a Volkswagen Beetle on his back. If that was O'Dowda he would be in front of a firing squad by now. That's not a mistake - just complete lack of desire.......something I didn't think applied to the Faithful and True? How that is the fault of the Ref is something that only Ben Garner can answer using #Gaslogic (apologies if I missed the ref two footing the guy out of clip just beforehand).

Sensitive little lot aren’t they . Still crying about a poster . :sad26:

They are really upset about it, bless them.

Mansion Bet place posters and done a mail drop, but for reasons unknown, this is a reflection on just how lacking in class City are.

See, I quite admire the Few who go and support their side, but they have made so many mistakes over the years, not being united in their approach to a supporter shame scheme and getting the worse deal in history, trying to get rid of Higgs by having one supporter in a black arabs scarf on the telly, a supporters club who nomination to a boardroom position who neither communicates with the fans or is welcome in the boardroom...

The gift-list is endless.

But their lack of organisation, direction and failure to hold people accountable has seen them go backwards.

They can't have any idea where their next generation of support is going to come from, which must be worrying for them.

Many Rovers fans I know are having complete melt downs on social media about the 20 years :laugh:

It must be soul destroying being a "Grandparent" in North Bristol and not being able to recount stories to the Grandkids about when the boys in blue were above "they gurt teds" in the league.........
