'Tin-pottery', what a lovely definition of our blue friends. Displaying the qualities of hilarious inadequacy and eternal inferiority. Crapness. See also: Bristol Rovers. Tin-pottery. I like that a lot. Almost feel a bit sorry for them.

I think that's probably what it is, but also when you admire someone so much in your formative years that they become a 'hero', you get some sort of personal connection with them even though you've never met. Like they become a subconscious father figure. I haven't felt as saddened by the death of someone I didn't know personally since the passing of John Peel, and before that Joe Strummer, both personal heroes for me, just like our Gerry was.

Just seen some sag has posted a delightful video on Aden Flint's twitter of a bunch of jolly fellows singing "we'll all be having a party when Aden Flint is dead". Classy. Presumably they were then about to celebrate their team's away win, once they were done with wishing a fellow human being dead.

Sorry , but I can't see any attempt to extract humour in that post. Just exasperation. Strangely, Bert gets a fair bit of sympathy on this site, because he clearly cares and feels hurt by the repeated and continuous embarrasment delivered by the club he supports. What are these other like-minded websites where you feel Bert will get a sympathetic arm around his shoulder?

The most moderate post I've read in a while. Have you not heard the Earth has been knocked off its axis this evening? And we threw away a 2 goal lead? And you're quite disappointed?

Well quite.

True, but we're putting the blame on three here.

No, do you think he would have made a difference?

Don't you ******* start!

I saw him first you cow!

2-0!

Tammy get in!

Keep us posted mate

Bert is insightful, funny, intelligent and knowledgeable. Have you ever met a sag with any of the above qualities? Well quite. I'm with Danny, there's no way this guy's Rovers.

Rumours coming through that Borussia Monchengladbach beat young boys.

Boooo!

That awkward moment when you realise he's NOT the Messiah. He's a very naughty boy.

Played Glos. Never in doubt

John Travola?

So he entered the raffle did he? 'Jonesy's Tanning Salon' or somesuch, presumably?

You rude old ****er!

O'Donnell shocker there, I'm afraid

Yep, terrific ball in from Joe as well

Johnson in!

Yoda, that you?
