My prediction is Graham Coughlan will be given the job after there going on this little run.  

Weal and  Hammer will be making all the right noises about how the club is moving forward and it was all DC fault, the gullible gas will lap this all up on the back of a mine revival .

After  Coughlan takes charge in a permanent capacity Rovers form will plummet, Weal and Hammer will go to ground and ultimately the gas will go down. 

 

I think I agree with most of  that!

It does seem Coughlan is popular among our support at the moment, 2 wins out of 3 and some good performances obviously help, as does the fact that he isn't Steve Cotterill. He seems a decent bloke, but I will reserve judgement  for a few more games yet. I suspect he will get it till the end of the season, and if he keeps us up, he will get the gig.

No doubt if we then have a bad start to next season, people will be moaning that we went for the cheap option, and will finally call for his head after it was discovered he once played a game at Ashton Gate and said something along the lines of 'the changing rooms were quite nice' . Dirty gert Ted that he is.

OK fellow reds, all joking aside, it's time to be magnanimous. Rovers have won three on the bounce (two of them away) and climbed out of the bottom four. Well done, you once more deserve the word Bristol in your title. 

Now back on topic, we all deride gas logic, but I've decided to adapt it. When in the Conference, the gas referred to it as Division Five. Therefore as tonight City are 11th in the Championship, does that mean we are now 31st in the Premiership?

It was a dark day for us when they sacked Clarke......  he was doing a sterling job, could he have even been an undercover agent, having been groomed and turned this season.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Maybe mentioning grooming wasn’t a good idea..

Despair not. This could be the best thing that could happen. Bloke takes over, wins every game, no other managers need apply, they've found THE man, gets job full time, what could go wrong?

Don't despair lads, they are still massively in the brown stuff, one loss would change things again !

[SimonR]

I have not been paying much attention to the fa cup so far as it's just the lesser teams in the early rounds, can we draw the horse punchers or have they been KO'ed by a team that they look down on again?

Hey, you can’t say that.

They don’t do that sort of thing, they’re the least arrogant, most likeable fans in the League apparently.

[Bristol Rob]

Cracking quote from Gaschat.

Dc was right to be sacked...GC has given us hope and our gas back in the most busiest time of the year when most teams lose a lot of points.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but to lose points, you would need to be in administration, but maybe the posted means 'drop points' in which case me need to apply #Gaslogic - unless to League 1, both sides can lose. If half the teams drop points, the other half would surely gain points.

Swindon maybe?

To be fair it's hard to tell as the denizens of Gaschat seem to despise every other club's fans.

This charming aspect to their character must be what brings them the popularity they keep boasting about.

The “pathetic tiny club” that dumped them out of the FA Cup (see SimonR’s post on this page). The same team that beat them to the Conference title.

Funny thing is, right above that comment slating Barnets support someone reckoned that taking 500 up to London was “pretty impressive” 

You can see why Barnet fans were mocking Gasheads on their forum.

I love their so called rivalries, we can now add Barnet to their list with Oxford and Wycombe

I have no inside knowledge whatsoever but it seems to me that the Sags recent improvement will be enough to secure the job for GC, at least until the end of the season (cheap option).

If that is the case can someone please clarify the correct pronunciation of his name - is it Coughlan (as in "coff" / Frank Bough) or Coughlan (like a "cog" / dog)?

Very important when singing about his mother's alleged "extra curricular activity".

Thanks...

[swampy]

Great band .... sort of ... http://www.johncoghlan.com/jcq.html

 

[Langford Red]

Lets hope they keep him

Honeymoon period until the players turn against him as well

 I believe his mother's name is Irene Coughlan ... if that helps with your song choices?!

[myol'man]

 Graham Coughlan went into the dressing room before taking his first training session, pointed at each and every player and shouted "you, you, you, you......... you, you, and you got him the sack, you should all be ashamed of yourselves"

Fair play to the bloke.

Fair play to him, embarrassing how them and Man Utd have suddenly turnt things around seemingly overnight.

Remember when Chesham United stuffed the gas in the fa cup at the Mem in 2015 ? Well, they are in the Southern League Premier Division South - as a semi-professional team....with a population smaller than Yate...

[Port Said Red]

Nearly off page 1, have 3 wins in a week wiped all trace of what a terrible year it has been for the tragic ones? 

Nah.......

At this time of the year there are reviews galore, why should we be any different?

Let's look back over 2018 with a few "highlights of hilarity"......

On the pitch, Tom Nicholls continues to strike fear into ballboys and corner flags everywhere. Meanwhile it's taken those aforementioned 3 wins to just about drag them off the bottom of the table. On the positive side, they did take the mighty Barnet to a replay in the cup, so that's an improvement on previous cup campaigns.

Off the pitch, well to paraphrase the old Pulp classic, there is a pie in the sky idea that there is a training ground coming "Somewhere in a field just outside Almondsbury". The Pulp song is about drugs, like the ones some of their fans must be on if they believe this guff.

At the Mem we have seen the joy of, in no particular order........

New tents (sorry stands) 

New bus shelters (disabled area)

The new porn cinema (club lounge)

And a new pitch laid (twice, because they got the boys from the blackstuff to lay the first one and half the gardens in Horfield now have lovely new grass)

And who could forget the genuinely heart rending story of the young girl saving up for her season ticket, as portrayed in their "promotional video"? Spoilt only by the fact that she had to wade through a ocean of recyclable rubbish to stand on her own pile of used programmes, to be able to see the pitch.

Finally the fans themselves, I really can't do justice to this group in one post, but some of my favourites include.

70's style racist behaviour.

Trying to persuade bemused Mancs that they are the real true fans in Bristol.

Getting into rows with their own players.

Believing the most obvious pieces of bullshit ever posted on any official internet site, because their owner is such a nice man he would never lie.

still believing they are owned bý billionaires.

And right at the end of the year they collectively audition for the part of doubting Thomas. Crying on the departure of their beloved messiah, then denying him three times after each subsequent win. Shame it's Xmas not Easter, that analogy would have worked have worked so much better.

I am sure some of you have your own favourites to add from the year, but I am now looking  forward to 2019 and the prospect of administration for the self proclaimed 6th richest club in the country. 

[Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan]

My personal favourite from 2018 was when the ‘6th richest club in Britain’ opened this beauty.

 

Not far behind in 2nd place is when Barnet beat them in their FA Cup 1st round replay after the arrogant bastards were guessing who they were going to  get in the 3rd round having seen off the Bees and then Stockport. 

Sorry Saggies, you won’t get your Cup Final against City THIS season I’m afraid.

It means they are eternally grateful to the former and current managers, for returning them to their rightful position...
