Simster Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 4 hours ago, Shaun Taylor said: The Gillingham rivalry goes back to 1979 when the two clubs were promotion rivals and things kicked of on the pitch and and continued on the terraces mainly at their place for the next 30 years but having played them a few times recently I would say that it is completely dead now. As for Brighton there's never been any hate towards them even when they stopped us getting to the playoff final against Bristol City at the Millenium stadium in 2003/4 season. Fair enough, there's very little animosity from our side (although Swindon remain a club I personally don't like very much) but I remember all manner of bitterness in 2004 and later when we bought Greer off you. Strange as Brighton have always been a bigger club than Swindon IMO (not that it matters). I am genuinely pleased you've got that nob out of your club though, and I hope Oldham manage the same soon. 4 hours ago, Major Isewater said: Just one of many reasons why OTIB is a top forum. Well done to the Mods and all the contributors. Yeah it's a decent forum here (I put it down to liberal but fair moderation), but I will say this sort of thing goes on with loads of football forums. It certainly does on ours. Why wouldn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1960maaan Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 I nipped into their online shop, I do like to have a look at different teams to see what tat they sell. Ours is poor IMO, when I was going up to see the Brother in Law who's a big QPR supporter, I wanted some bits to spread around his house secretly. Anyway. I was thinking they have a lot more than us, but I came across this and what with them being so poor , I found this ironic. Get well soon Bristol R*vers ?

Garita was retweeting every single tweet sent to him when he signed. Obviously 99% of them were welcoming him to City, as he didn’t understand English someone quickly came up with the idea to tweet him saying “Darrell Clarke w@nks off dogs” and it was retweeted. Our official Twitter then came out saying it wasn’t the real Garita account, which was nonsense and ridiculous as it had years of personal French tweets prior, so was obviously his real account, he was just unaware of what it meant.

I agree OTIB is a very good forum and up there with the big clubs in the premiership and not just for football but a whole range of topics. i totally agree Brighton are a much bigger club than Swindon and not much between yourselves, Pompey & Southampton and can still remember Peter Ward scoring for you regularly even though that was in the late 70's early 80's.
