Whilst it's true, I have no trouble with it.

It's true, evolution not revolution

Ahh the Grifter, the poor man's .....

Yes it should. I was danger of boring myself back to sleep. I could also have said about the fact that two English sides contested the 1934 Welsh Cup Final, ourselves and Tranmere. 1920 to 1952 though? Their formative years and all of them in the basement. What a side. What a bunch of Arabs.

Yes. That would make sense. Ben Dover is a hill near Dover right?

Not at all difficult James, which is why I was confirming what you said ? .... but the pedantic follow up point I was making was that the "name" Bristol Rovers did not exist until 1899 but the "name" Bristol City existed in 1897.

We have been in the league longer and are therefore the oldest league club. The Black Arabs was just a boy band back in the day. An education for the saggy ones.... Bedminster FC were formed in 1887. Bristol South End were formed in 1894 and became Bristol City in 1897. They merged with Bedminster FC in April 1900 and joined the league in 1901 beating Blackpool 2-0 at Bloomfield Road in their first game. The club's highest-ever league finish was second in the top flight in 1906-07. They were FA Cup runners-up in 1909, and won the Welsh Cup in 1934. The club have also won the second tier title once, the third tier title four times, the Anglo-Scottish cup once, and the Football League Trophy a record three times. The Black Arabs were founded in 1883 and entered the Bristol & District league as Eastville Rovers in 1892. The club moved into the Birmingham & District league in 1897 and then switched to the Southern League as Bristol Rovers in 1899. They were not admitted into the football league until 1920. They were placed in the Third Division South and remained there until 1952–53. They recorded their highest finishing positions in 1956 and 1959, a sixth-place finish in the second division. They had to apply for reelection to the football league twice before finally being relegated from it in 2015 having finished 23rd the season before, a year before it became a relegation place.

...so are you saying you have the oldest club and Rovers are big knobs?

I fear that their boycott of Mansion Bet is going to have the same impact as their boycott of Sainsbury's.

That's a great image @Red Army 75 . Let's all sit back and imagine someone laughing their cock off. ???

Where did @bert tann go? He promised updates from 4pm onwards. He's showing almost the same level of commitment as Wael al-Qadi.

Indeed Half? That's a laugh.

These FEWERS really are a bit simple. and here, presumably, are a FEW others.....

... and the prolific Tom Nicholls scores again for Crawley ?

.... unlucky da shit

Two late goals for Ipswich. Such a shame.

Tom Nicholls who famously hardly ever scored for Rag Arse Rovers scored on his debut for Crawley Town today

I mentioned that to one and he mentioned our biggest defeat; a 9-0 home defeat to Coventry in ...... 1934. Of course I had to then mention Luton Town 12 Bristol Rovers 0 from 1936 They never learn, sit down, shut up.

Yeah, it's unfortunately the only way players get a consistent chance in the England side.

I take it back. I have just been informed that the shoes in question are indeed official merchandise and that 20p went directly to tarmac the car park

Things like this must be costing the club a fortune...

I really meant step brother (but Jason is really annoying)

Yes it's kind of like multi-tasking. The ability to achieve more than one thing at once. Being a little annoyed by "vigorous process at the football cloob" to taking the mickey out of your annoying little half brother. All things are achievable, if you just try. People say now is not the right time for it, I say now is exactly the right time. Rovers, Cardiff, Aston Villa, Leeds... all of them *****.

They have a reason to hate every club in the football league. Conversely fans of every club in the football league think that they are wonderful.

If you look closely you can see the flames coming from his pants... https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=3010721795689610&id=102814153147070
