I see in the Evil Post that one Rollin Menayese aged 20 of Bradley stoke has been convicted of dangerous driving and assault by beating.  He has been given 250 hours of community service and disqualified from driving for 15 months and ordered to pay costs and compensation.  Is this the same guy that plays for the Sags - the age is correct?

Got to got to be the same guy, age is right and the sags have been wondering why he’s not been in the squad.

On the plus side, he’ll at least be ahead of the rest of the squad for being used to doing unpaid work when the administration happens...

Did you hear him? he said the player is from a Prem club!

Yep, heard him - was Nixon’s tweet word for word. I expected him to add “bit in paper tomorrow.”

Ian on RB says we have a midfield player coming in on loan next week, anybody itk about this?

Definitely not Ian.

Methinks he’s been reading Nixon’s tweets and passing it off as his inside info. Which is a surprise, as it’s not like him....

It’s fair to say, we’d better score with our starting eleven because there’s nobody to really give us extra firepower on the bench.

Three defenders in six outfield subs does seem a touch excessive.

No issue with the team, but we should have a striker (not Pato) to change it if need be.

(Waits for O’Dowda to come on and bag a hat trick)

Pisanos lined up at CH, Kelly LB

Just listened to the first 5 minutes or so of the interview. The rovers owner was squirming like a well hooked fish. Wouldn't commit to any details or timelines, just promised that everything would happen eventually with no details of anything whatsoever.

More or less confirmed that their new training ground won't be ready for next season by saying that 'if' it isn't done by April (when the lease runs out on their current place), they will put a temporary solution in place. It's apparently just a field full of weeds right now, in Tentyman's words.

Can I just say, that’s a great misspelling and also a great nickname for Wally. The nature of their improvements suggests he is indeed “Tentyman”

Another interesting little snippet in there - one of them says that it is cheaper to take out a full page ad in WellRed than it is for one in their shitty little rag.

So, pay less money for your ad to be seen by 10k or so people or more for it to be looked at by three men and a dog?

I believe that was Henbury Gas (or Free The Henbury Gas one as he’s now going by).

For some reason I don’t believe it therefore. Can’t think why..

By rotten to the core you mean....??

I would agree with you that I believe we still have an issue with a minority of fans as well. But every club has them. They are hard to get rid of though, if you can ever rid yourself of them. I’ve no doubt you have a few you wish you could get rid of as you aren’t a bunch of saints either. 

I agree with you as well nothing has much improved since we beat you in 1990, we dined out on the underdog ragbag thing for too long. But things are improving now and we are heading in the right direction both on and off the pitch.

 

He’s right.

Go Outdoors opened at Cribbs this week. Less distance to go for the ground improvements.

make three changes, with Lloyd Kelly, Famara Diédhiou and Milan Djuric all coming in. Eros Pisano, Callum O'Dowda and Jamie Paterson make way. #BRCvBIR

Looking at that side - 3-5-2??

In the cold light of day, let’s be fair. We weren’t great, and the sky pundits were right - up until the red, we were heading for a defeat.

What encourages me is Lee didn’t dress that up, he saw it, and his post match called it bang on.

What else encourages me, in spite of doubting it at the time, is that the throwing on of Taylor and Leko showed we wanted to win the game. After Korey went off, the easy move was Mags on and Joey into mid so kudos to Lee for going for it.

Wilder, again, though, how can he slate the ref? It’s a red, undoubted. The “high foot” on flints goal isn’t - there is a duck from the SU player (nobody appealed) and after that I’m hard pushed to think of anything contentious. Yes, you were better until the red, but FFS man, have some decorum...

We’ve been poor the last 3 games??? Did you see us at home to to Middlesbrough? 

I think it’s a quote from a SU fan....

(Promise not to mention again!)

Jesus, Chris Wilders a bitter man!

That's the shortest front two since these days....

Their erstwhile owner has deemed to show his face at this one as well. Assumedly Chelsea play on tv tomorrow:

The bloke next to him looks dead behind the eyes mind!

Since their run to the FA Cup QF in 2008, they have gone out at the first round stage 7 out of 9 times and the only teams they have beaten in that time were Crawley, York, AFC Totton and Corby.

No mean feat.

I hear they play the high press.

Without putting too fine a point on it, this "Disabled Enclosure" really shows up their owner for the charlatan he is.

Pretends to be loaded and want to develop the club, yet their less able fans have to shell out themselves on something a primary school would be embarrassed by.

If he had any shame, any good intentions, or any cash he'd see that and be so embarrassed he'd stump up the cash to provide a proper facility.

He won't - because he's not in it for the fans but the land grab. They won't question it, because if they did, they'd be "teds".

It sums up him, it sums up them. And I feel sorry for the genuine fans who want to question Wael but are shouted down.

Honest question

When did we last get applauded off like that when 1-0 down in a league game?

We are, or have potential to be, a damn good side

Sorry, missed that, what's with the Roy Cropper connection ?

I believe David Neilson (the actor who plays Mr Cropper) is a Leicester fan but has been seen at the gas so they've claimed him as their own.

Think us and Russell Crowe, but much, much sh!tter and equally as tenuous....

There is good news for the Gas today.

In addition to celebrity fans Rod Hull, Jeffrey Archer & Roy from Corrie champion jockey Davy Russell has now nailed his colours to the mast as a fan of the blue few...

Just had a gander on Gaschat.

Apparently them keeping Bodin is a 'real statement if intent' - obviously, that statement might have some merit if indeed they had turned down offers for the player, but following the transfer window yesterday I don't recall anyone having made a bid. So there was nothing to reject.

Strange.

I was under the impression they made a statement intent each time they unveiled a new signing at the mem
