  1. Players today are Athletes and everything is scientific with Diet etc. If a player gets injured it's usually a bad one as they are so primed and lean.

    Back in the day with players like George Best turning up for a game after leaving a nightclub are long gone.

    I've never really remember of hearing about an ACL but how things have changed.

    Hopefully it'll be like when Garner came back to the Mem after he went to Swindon, the meltdown at the end of the game was outstanding.

    I'm sure there will be usual 'we've got our Rovers back', ignoring the woman beater they signed and the faithful to Joey mob giving them grief.

    Never ever get tired of watching this. Comedy Gold at it's finest :laugh:

    You need to strap in and grow a pair mate. I’m 54 and caught the back end of the glory days, and all of the demise. You either love this club or you don’t. Trust me, I wish I didn’t but I do. Thats why I’m going to have a shit few days until Saturday. Then I’m back in the saddle.

    I don’t think we’ll reach the premier league in my life time, but, **** it, I’m going to cheer us on with little hope until I curl my toes up. 

    Absolutely spot on there mate. I couldn't agree more. I'm 53 so we both know the ups and downs, the good days and the bad days but it's in the blood and we can't ever remove that even if we wanted to. I also don't think I'll ever see us in the Premier. We just don't ever seem to get it right on or off the pitch and no one seems to know how to fix this. :(

    This quote from Sagchat left me open-mouthed. Seems the reason they ar3 doing badly is because they are too good for League 1. 
     

     

    It’s almost like we’ve got a footballing Championship side….but we’re in the wrong bloody league!”

    Absolutely deluded :laugh: If they ever did manage to fluke their way to the Championship they would get completely hammered every game. They have no idea how tough the Championship is. There is no point in them ever getting promotion, it would be embarrassing, but very funny to watch I suppose.

  5. I'm lucky enough to remember the good old day's behind the goal in the East End. There were about 8 of us that used to go and we'd be on the natch at 11:00 after having a Full English in the cafe. By the time we got to the ground we were steaming and from the minute we got in we were singing our rollicks off. I'm an introvert by nature so I suppose it was all down to the booze, likewise it took 10 pints to get on a dance floor in a nightclub and turn into John Travolta.

    Ashton Gate now a days is like a morgue in comparisons, and with a mixture of elderly people, and with the youngsters not into drinking anymore IMO it's not helped with the atmosphere. We used have singers in all parts, even in the Williams stand :laugh:

    With regards to songs not much has changed really apart from songs for individual players.

    With FFP and all these loans, hypothetically, wouldn't they be in a sticky situation IF, god forbid, they did go up?

    I can't see them ever fluking their way into the Championship unless they have even more extra training sessions on diving to get penalties & opposition players sent off. But, if they did ever manage to do it, it would be most likely the most embarrassing season for any team ever in the Championship. I reckon they'd be lucky to get 10 points all season, so it would be a joy to watch :laugh: and with the costs involved (they don't have a clue!) after relegation there is more chance that they would disappear up their own shitepipe and go bust and disappear like an annoying wasp when you put your size 10 boot on it's head.
