Gazred Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Feel a little bit sorry for Darlington. Fair play to them trying to keep playing their game. No doubt the Gas will claim they are world beaters. I don't think they've actually played that well considering the level of the opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudolf Hucker Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 How sad it would be for them to get a third round draw against a Spurs, Liverpool or ManU and make no money from the gate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 This is actually a good result - for those who enjoy a laugh. It will produce wildly optimistic comments by the Rovers fans, with a predictions of Championship football in a year or two. It will be followed by realism when Rovers have to play in League 1 against much bigger teams such as Arrington Stanley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they won’t make any money from a ManU gate, but they’d get something it it was away to Liverpool or Spurs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know. The gate is split after costs. 2000 at 50 quid is 100k for arguments sake. Probably costs that every time spurs or Liverpool open up the stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlastonburyRed Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Daly doesn't look like the worst player tbh, better than Nicholls, although I suppose that's not hard. They do have a knack of unearthing a gem of a lower-league striker on occasion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem these days, is that whereas previously they were one of a few clubs looking in non-league, loads of clubs have scouting networks and salary budgets that allow them to hoover up the best of the later developers and can pay transfer fees a lot of League One and Two clubs can only dream of. Pretty sure we spent quite a bit on Bakinson and Hinds when they were non league. Edited November 29, 2020 by Bristol Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fewers paid over £50K for Ryan Jones of Weston Super Mare a couple of months back as it happens which surprised me and Peterborough were prepared to pay a lot more.

BanburyRed Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 If they'd just waited a bit longer, they could've announced Phil Parkinson from Sunderland or Neil Lennon (when he inevitably gets the boot from Celtic) instead of Le Tisdale.......

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 Only just heard this unbelievable result so looked up the match report: JUST AS I SUSPECTED: Rovers broke through with a freakish opener. Josh Hare's long hopeful punt forward ballooned backwards up off defender David Atkinson's head and over his keeper Johnny Saltmer, and Daly nipped in to touch the ball over the line. ... Sam Nicholson which took him into the box, the ball broke kindly and he slotted home. Eight minutes after the restart, the lightweight Daly won another penalty when he went down very easily under a challenge from outraged defender Tony McMahon There was further anguish for McMahon when his well-struck effort - Darlo's best chance - was brilliantly tipped onto the post by Rovers keeper Anssi Jaakkola. So, freak goals, fluke goals, 2 outrageous penalties, and Darlington so unlucky to hit the post with a fantastic effort! Shame on those lucky gas b*******s - their name is mud yet again - and well played Darlington. Football is the loser with this monstrosity of a result and all decent football fans will surely agree that morally Bristol Rovers are THE LOSERS today (and every day) and the incredibly unfortunate Darlington the true winners. Hold your heads up and a safe trip home Darlington. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted November 29, 2020 Report Share Posted November 29, 2020 (edited) They want us in the 3rd round? Bring it on! Some gas belter on FB is still banging on about Windass and Hull saying we can't beat them. He forgets that since that day we've beaten Hull on numerous occasions and the sags became a non league club. We would absolutely muller their shower and they know it. The worst possible draw they could get is us IMHO. Edited November 29, 2020 by Ska Junkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They talk about 'the fans' and would surely know what a Bristol derby means to us. Are people genuinely concerned about playing them, if we drew them?

Major Isewater Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 An old Gas friend of mine giving it large on Facebook until I asked what division Darlington were in. In fairness to them 6-0 is a good result against any team in professional football. Still It sets them up nicely for the next fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
