Wonder who Barton will blame for the loss today and probable loss Saturday. Poppppppp Dolly said that the team that started tonight (just one change from the weekend) compromised their only fit senior players. He didn’t want to pick youngsters as it would “devalue the competition”. (In other words: the youngsters aren’t good enough). Oh and the ref missed a clear handball which led to their goal. Oh dear, how sad, never mind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done by a Tom Nicholls goal! Did they have a bell in the ball or something?! Priceless. Start the bus. Joey’s ready to throw some more players under!

That's a bit like putting some lovely spin on our 6-2 defeat to Fulham, by saying we were involved in an 8 goal thriller but not mentioning the final score. 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dolman Pragmatist Posted August 10, 2022 Report Share Posted August 10, 2022 Interesting piece on the Guardian website about which club’s record signing is longest ago: “Bristol Rovers’ record signing (Andy Tilson, £370,000) was made in 1992,” notes Oscar Felix Ramirez. “Do any other league clubs still have a record signing from 30-plus years ago?” We had no idea the early-1990s was such a boom time for record signings, but it seems Bristol Rovers aren’t alone. “Steve Claridge is still Cambridge’s record signing (£252,000),” writes Russell Connor. “They actually have signed him twice, once in 1990 and then again only two years later after interim club Luton didn’t like what they saw. He seems to have been bought in the same summer of 1992 as Tilson, so not sure who came first.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should have been balanced by their record sale being Matty Taylor for £10m. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be because of the balloon festival half way across town or the Tour De France or something. Actually, we have a food festival here in Portishead so maybe that is a draw.

Haha, they try to make out it’s like the Ali Sami Yen Stadium. More like the Shitty Scabby Mem Stadium. If he did feign injury it was probably to escape the stench wafting across the pitch after 6000 Zombies collectively soiled themselves in rage. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a little bit, saw one in what I presume is their away kit a week or so ago & another out for a run in “the famous quarters”. Genuinely the first couple I’d seen in years, though living in BS3 wearing one around here, especially in the vicinity of West St would be an act of supreme bravery.

I work at Bristol Airport as a dispatcher. Fun when I see a guy in quarters about to board aircraft and I tell him he cant fly ! Always reply ' Why' ' cos you'll have to take that shirt off !! ' You're obviously a Sh*thead is the reply. Good banter though. Other day saw a guy in new City top and said ' great shirt ' to him, he didnt understand a word I said.
