That thread is hilarious from start to finish, with somebody misreading a million for a grand down to our old chum Weezord mis-spelling delete and getting corrected.

I was thinking the other day, would it be fair to make a rough comparison to Liverpool and Everton but transpose it down a couple of divisions? If I recall correctly Everton had a brief period of almost dominance in the eighties after trailing considerably during the seventies and are now on the brink of disaster.....

I know a Rotherham fan who is reet pissed off with them for moving this one. She had a ticket for tonight and can't make the rematch.

I think it's the spellchecker on here, changes U - T - G to FTG

The thread they had of a similar length to this one when they thought we were getting relegated one season. It disappeared when we stayed up

I believe they were Bristol Academy after dropping the rovers name and before joining Bristol Sport weren't they?

"basking in the glory of telling people he is the owner of Bristol Rovers" ? What possible glory is there to bask in from being associated with that bag of crap? I would wager that he doesn't mention it out of embarrassment, that and the fact that Boston University would have just pulled a puzzled face and asked "Who?"

I wonder now how the gas manager feels about turning down the Leeds job when he did?

There is nothing wrong with singing about local sides that see themselves as rivals, nothing wrong with talking about them. As SJ said, the problem comes when you judge your own clubs success on how you have performed in comparison to them. We no longer do this, nobody saw last season as a success because we finished higher than the fewers. we are now looking upwards and focussing on that, they are watching our rear ends disappear into the distance and desperately trying to keep up.

The appeal over the pitch was dismissed. Not sure anyone is taking the slow over rate appeal too seriously as this had already been dealt with previously.

And people wonder why football thinks there is a homophobia problem amongst fans........

I really wanted to put up a defence for TED Talks as well, but couldn't put it as eloquently as you. Thank You.

Go sit in a corner and have a long hard think about what you just said. Then come back and apologise....

gas back to 2-2 as well

Flint got his head to the corner, Taylor diverted it onto the post and Bobby with the rebound

Scott Hogan with an amazing goalline clearance for Villa. Trouble is it stopped a Villa goal!

cardiff 2 down

Less than 8K there too

does any of that mean anything?

Certainly true, there are photos earlier in this thread (not too far back from memory, but can't be arsed to trawl through it all)

If they did go bust, which would be greeted with much merriment (in my household at least), then a phoenix club would no doubt be formed and start playing in the Western Counties league or somesuch. What I would then be struggling with is how to feel about that phoenix club. Would I wish them success as fans trying to do the right thing? Or would I still see them as bristol rovers and wish nothing but misery on the side, hoping they got stuffed by Almondsbury U16's or the like every week? I just can't decide for certain, but at the moment am coming down on the side of wishing them misery still....
