Theirs is a constant obsession as is their speed to getting on social media about them ‘Singing the blues’ as soon as they win a game and we lose. It’s guaranteed EVERYTIME WITHOUT FAIL. We’d be happy to go up, they’d be happy to finish a single place above City. If they aren’t singing about the City they are shouting ‘Sheed’ead at someone on the pitch. Never ever heard us shout ‘Gashead’ at a former Rovers player who has played against us. They are the supporters who apparently don’t give a shit about us until someone mentions us to them and then they erupt with utter contempt, hatred and jealousy in an instant.

Don’t argue with me about pal, email ‘Max on Tour’…he’s the one who posted the video that I shared. Him and his mates experience was that they are abnormally obsessed, they came to this conclusion despite starting off being ‘anti City’ as they put it. They’ve been to Ashton Gate, they obviously don’t feel we’re as bad. 1 hour ago, phantom said: Are you not at games when we are on TV? That’s my point, if City are at home I’m at the game, not watching on TV.

However the whole rovers lost today is heard as much as 'Cardiff lost today' or 'team around us in the table lost today'. I'm sorry but they are far worse I hear it from neutral fans that have been there so many times, opposition fans slate them for it and some of their own fans slate them for it.

Silvio Dante Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 14 hours ago, Gert Mare said: Never ever heard us shout ‘Gashead’ at a former Rovers player who has played against us. I think you only have to go back to this seasons game with Luton where Tom Lockyer was given boatloads for 90 minutes, including the above. It’s naive to think it doesn’t happen. However, what I would say is that most of our fan base now won’t have a clue, outside of 1-2 exceptions (Clarke Harris for example) who’s been playing for them for the last few years, as they are at that lower level - which with it brings a huge turnover of players. So it does, or will, become less prevalent as players who have played for them don’t often reach this level post Rovers, and if they do, Rovers are a blip on the CV. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not so sure, they were in the Premier League so we wouldn’t have had the chance. By the time we actually played QPR all the sags that Francis took to QPR with him were either back at Rovers or elsewhere. 3 hours ago, CiderJar said: They have, and in that video they describe us as "silent" so that may be silence about Bristol Rovers, who knows? I don’t remember that video? He did a video in with the Swansea supporters at AG earlier this season where he said that he couldn’t hear our fans over the Swansea support, which isn’t that much of a shock if you’re in the middle of a large away following at any ground. He also mentioned that his mate was in with us at the other end and he said we were good as well. At no point was it mentioned by either him or the other YouTuber in our end that we only sing about Bristol Rovers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderJar Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) Yes but we do sing about Bristol Rovers, a lot, and we do check their scores, a lot, and at half time Downsy makes some irreverent comment when announcing their score, and people ask how they and Cardiff got on on the way out of the stadium. People have been known to take their shoes off when singing about them. But it's great and I love it.

The away fans even started singing ‘pro’ City songs in response to all the anti City songs coming from Gasheads. The reactions from rabid Sags was hilarious On top of that Northampton came from one nil down to win two one late in the game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the roles were reversed we would be envious of them and harking back to the days where we were on a par and sometimes better. This at root is why they often have a pop at Steve Lansdown because they know damn well that had the 1990s Rovers' Board been more encouraging and welcoming to him then it could all have gone the other way. Though it is notable that they have a go at him rather than the Rovers Board which didn't welcome him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 5, 2022 Report Share Posted January 5, 2022 They take more pleasure from us failing than they do from their own team doing well. An analogy I like is, if a City fan was walking along the river, saw a s*g drowning and offered his hand to help the s*g would rather pull him in with him rather than accept it. They really wouldn`t care if they were in the sixth tier provided we were below them. Their wet dream is to have a stadium with one more seat than ours. Quite sad really. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
