I just listened for the first time too. I am staggered. Was that honestly him or are we victims of a wind-up here, yes it was THAT bad, unprofessional and embarrassing that I am seriously questioning it. 

What a complete idiot he sounds although that interviewer has obviously been to the Talk-Sport school of interviewing, constantly talking over the interviewee which in this case was hilarious

More hilarity provided by that mob....where's the clown who was on here saying they sell 90% of their capacity every home game and who was the joker who said they sold out every away game allocation last season?! 

Do they really and truly believe what they say because it's embarrassing...?!

Pathological liars, as the great Danny Baker would say

Oh dear, into the 7000's already, a massive 14000 less than our average and they're coming to get us?

I can't comprehend the meltdown. 

We're all gutted, but seriously? Some of these comments are outrageous. 

Tomlin - There's a fair chance we'd be playing in league one without him. When he missed the penalty we were still winning 2-1. He is not responsible for the end result! Yes RO'D's error was a howler. Yes GO'N should have done better. 

We're a work in progress. 13+ new players, all learning each other's games, having played less than 8 matches together. The knee jerk reaction to a new team is embarrassing.

We're already showing so much more promise than last season which constitutes progress. 

Clearly that's not enough for those who suddenly expect us to be challenging for the top spots after a season spent fighting relegation. The comments talking about promotion and playoffs when we go 1-0 up is as clear an indication of the fickle nature of 'in the moment' comments.

Lets take a minute to recall where we were last year, where we are now. Less than a quarter of the season gone, and we've just lost to a team who have strengthened over the summer after being one result away from the Premiership last season.

i get the passion, and the in the heat of the moment disappointment. But let's save the pathetic abuse of the players who will be as gutted as any of us. Time to support, supporters. 

 

Well said, we are a far, far better team than we were last season and still learning, tonight is a hard lesson and a bitter pill but I think this team will learn from it, let's move on

Shocking defending by Flint and that was their centre half who left him for dead, this game shows we still have lots to learn at this level, our defensive displays have been shocking in the last two games but we are on a steep learning curve and are miles ahead of where we were last season, move on

Please please please don't start using Tomlinson as a scapegoat, we had enough of that nonsense with Jet

Can't think who else is missing

The silence is deafening in regards to UWE, it seems like nothing has changed to me since the change of leadership, fans still kept completely in the dark, gullible fools.

I to am a life long City supporter as many of us are but as I posted earlier in this thread I have no interest in the Gas or in slagging them off in this forum.

Thats not to say that I don't enjoy "debating" with some of the gasheads I know.  It's banter and always a laugh. No-one takes it seriously.

A mate of mine passed away earlier this year - a dedicted Gashead and season ticket holder at the Mem. He had three sons and one of them did his eulogy at the graveside. He mentioned that his dad had three sons and said "he brought two us the right way"  a tongue in cheek remark that his older brother is a City fan.....there was a chuckle at the gravesite. and lots of smiles even on a such a sad day.

How anyone can claim to "hate" the gasheads is simply ludicrous in my view.

 

 

 

Calm down Robbo, there's not a single Rovers fan I know that I dislike but as a club they are parasites and pathological liars

That is such an obnoxious reply! 

Who are you to tell people what they should find humorous and who or where to post their "banter"..?

If there were numerous threads appearing, then you'd have some point, but with everything appearing in one thread, clearly entitled to suggest the topic of content that it may contain, it's easy to avoid if people's reference to your friends is not to your own particular taste. 

As a 37 year old lifelong City supporter, damn right I enjoy mocking the blue few at the never ending shambles that is their club. 

You have every right not to like it, not to partake in the ridicule and be the more mature, forgive and forget type pacifist. 

Just as I and others have the right to comment on each and every episode of their, quite frankly hilarious, circus and mock their dillusional beliefs. Especially on a thread clearly entitled "Bristol Rovers"

Get off your high horse and stop re-confirming the views of many on here, that you are a cantankerous old git with a sickening soft spot for those in Horfield who in return, dillusionally mock us every bit as we do to them. 

Harsh but funny

I really miss the old market on a Sunday at AG. Used to go down there with the parents and my kid brother, buy a load of crap and then up to the supporters bar (in the Williams in them days iirc) for a glass of squash and running up and down the skittle alley. Happy days...

I bought my first pair of patch-pocket flares with a 6 inch waistband at the city market

He was getting a load of stick along with  Bert Tann on the gas forums, obviously got too much for him

Ark at this belter posting in a thread on slagchat about the city v Newcastle agro video......these freaks really do believe their own hype....the last paragraph is beyond belief.....

"Sad scenes and so different to Rovers experiences with other fans, 'always had a soft spot for you,I love those shirts' 'when you all sing that Irene song at Wembley when Rovers won the play offs I was so happy' 'we always watch out for your results,you are such great fans' 'we were gutted when you went out of the league' I have heard other fans say.
In fact when Rovers lost to Mansfield I think that many proper football fans were traumatised,one of those moments that people will remember forever,like when JFK was shot.

Dissagree .. without sounding pompous or anything like that .. we never seen you on the Tote End and when we did it was all over .. and I am old enough to remember. . And we held a few parties in The East End .. The 70s and 80s were good times for the Gas .. then you got your act together. . Again I'm no hooligan but was around then .. We even joined up with you lot on a fair few occasions. . We'd be met by your lot and escorted into The East End by your lot .. Yep .. unbelievable but true .. Millwall .. Man Utd .. Those 2 games back in the day were attended by us .. plus a few times against you in the Gloucester Cup .. so when I hear these stories about City back in the day about taking the Tote End I always sigh .. 

Unbelievable lies, but if you say it for long enough you"ll start to believe it

They referred to the 'famous blue and white quarters'. Where does this myth come from that they're in any way famous ffs 

"The famous blue and white quarters" is one of the biggest myths in football along with " it's more difficult to play against 10 men than 11"  "2-0 is a dangerous lead" and "David Beckham was a world class player"

Read my post again and understand our gas logic ... yes we are happy .. well at least the great majority of us are 

You've always been the same throughout your clubs history, always happy to put up with mediocrity, from lying chairmen to thieving chairmen (taking cuts from transfers) it just wouldn't happen at AG

You lot are so easily pleased, that's why Higgs took the piss for so long, when are you going to show some fight and start asking some serious questions of your owners?

Disturbing photos of young Rovers fans in the post, one with a Stanley knife in his hand with a message  "Millwall away days"

Was always The Crown after a game at Uley. I think it's my lucky away ground, always scored runs there for some reason. I'd love to know my overall batting average vs playing at Uley!

I'll look into that mate, now you've mentioned tabloids it does ring a bell. I know the current landlord, might pop in for a pint, see if he's rekindled the 'local' feeling....!

You seem very keen Woodsy!!

The Old Crown.....I've never heard of this either mate. How long ago are we talking!?

The old crown, that's it, about 15 years ago when I was working in Uley, apparently all the shenanigans was in one of the Sunday tabloids, the landlord was very talkative after a few ciders!!

Im sure the pub that I would have frequented as a youngster (after having played cricket for Uley) was called the Kings head (on the right hand side just before the big hill that heads up to nympsfield. 

Don't think it was called the Kings Head, the Crown?
