The ones I know are nice enough people, but for some reason when talking about the 15ers they seem to suddenly become bumbling idiots who make one ridiculously stupid comment after another. It's a strange phenomenon, which I don't think I've come across with any other team at such a universal level. Would you agree with my assessment @The turtle?

Looks like the Rugby League World Cup final is being played at the Memorial Ground. Plastics chairs galore!!

I hope it goes better for you than getting up for the cricket has gone for me this morning!

Being one point above the relegation zone in league one, and being happy with a loss because you didn't lose by that many, is not really what you'd expect from the 6th richest club in the entire country.

"Happy Days" You legend Derrick. (Thanks to @The turtle for pointing this out)

Not normally one to stick up for the 15ers, but fairly certain that's not the reason he was being booed.

I'm ashamed to say that me and @The turtle know this particular 15er

Sounds like the sort of appeal that my local Sunday League team would make Certainly not the kind of post you'd expect from fans of the 6th richest club in the country.

Why would you even take a football flag (and wear a football shirt) to Auschwitz? I'm going to use the filter privileges that come with being a mod to say... Fucking Scum

That has to be a City fan taking the piss, right?

Nope. City did previously have a women's team but not linked at all to Bristol Rovers Women/Bristol Academy.

Christ, what were you eating/drinking last night? I've had some crazy dreams in my time, but nothing quite that farfetched!

The thing with the 15ers is, you just know that if we lose then they will take that as an opportunity to mock us. Yep, that's #gaslogic for you, they can lose to the likes of Rochdale but then find it absolutely hilarious if we lose to Manchester.

Yeah, awful stadium compared to theirs...

Ah yes... Of course . . . Keep scrolling... . . . . Nope even further... . . . . Ah, finally!

Leko was both on the bench and in the starting line up on the first tweet with Paterson nowhere. It's been changed.

Certainly sounds positive to me.

Jesus, they just keep giving. What's a stronger word than obsession?

I think you may have missed a fishy pun there...

https://www.readingfc.co.uk/news/2017/september/Stam-frustrated-by-our-failure-to-finish-chances/ Reading manager Jaap Stam is thankfully unaccustomed to reflecting on Madejski Stadium defeats - but Bristol City's late winner inflicted our first home loss since January! "Very frustrating," he began. "We were facing an opposition who wanted to make it difficult for us, by going forward, being aggressive and pressing high up the pitch to prevent us from playing and they didn't let us get into our comfort zone so at times we had difficulties in getting control of the game. "But overall, in the amount of oportunities we created to score, I think we should have won this game - which we didn't! And that's what makes it frustrating. "We had plenty of opportunities. But it's all about scoring. It's a cliche, but so many times you see games where a team has lots of chances but doesn't finish them off and then the opposition eventually scores and that's it. "In having possesison, creating good opportunities, we played well. But you need to score...and we didn't." Perhaps the game could have swung on a decision to only show a yellow card to Nathan Baker after he scythed down Mo Barrow as he burst clean through on goal before half-time. "From my point of view it was a red card," Stam said. "He was through. And if he wasn't being fouled, he could have gone in one on one with the goalkeeper and he could have scored. "I don't know how it looked from the stands, but it looked like a red card to me. But it's not up to me, and the referee has to make a decision quickly so it's not easy for him as well. But you've seen the pace Mo has, no-one would have tracked him." And as Frank Fielding made a few sharp stops and the Royals missed a flurry of second half chances, the longer the game remained goalless, the longer the result remained in doubt. "It is very hard not to give anything away against opposition with quality. They had one big chance in the first half and one good opportunity second half and then they were a threat from set pieces and that final chance, a ball falls in between from a set piece and they score from it - so maybe three chances in total! "So it feels harsh that we lost, and it's not nice - especially at home. We created the chances, but we need to work on tapping them in. Because it's about scoring goals and we didn't do that. "We could have played a bit better, but with what we did it should have been enough to win the match. However, if you don't finish your chances you don't get the three points. And everyone in the dressing room is disappointed."

It is true indeed. To be fair though, Roy Cropper is more impressive.

That can't be true. Travelling well is just "what they do". Obviously just missed a zero off the end.
