He's from Tuam the one blot on the landscape of beautiful county Galway, it's the sort of place where Banjo Island meets Peasdown St. John

I won't have anyone slagging off anywhere that produces these kind of classics.

How's yer Mammy!

Miah, unbelievable, why the hell did you miss the old firm game for that dross?

 

I know! Mind you the Millwall game was an absolute cracker.

I do get to watch a lot of sport, and I'm away from home quite a lot . I was pushing my luck for two weekends away in a row going up to Glasgow though. I will be up there for the cup final on the 27th

I may be wrong but he strikes me as a Michael Knighton type figure(think I've got the right guy). Seems to love the spotlight, wasn't he on the lap of honour? He's done Gloucs Rd to I believe. If I was of the blue persuasion I'd be a little concerned, not really done much so far financially , sprinklers apart , but likes to be seen as some sort of hero figure. I may be being unfair but after all the hype etc  it must be a little worrying. Although the lies persist, even Sky mentioned your billionaire owner during the Millwall game .

All opinions of course, but to me he seems the exact opposite of what you say.

Haven't heard much from you lately Miah, still celebrating those hammering over those woeful bluenoses? What has happened to Higgs? Does he still attend home matches?

I missed the 5-1, I had a ticket but for some bizarre reason I chose to got to Rovers v Millwall , I did go to Hampden though and I'm pleased to confirm that Rangers really are truly woeful at the moment

I have no idea about Higgs actually. I'm pleased he has gone though. Wael comes across really well and things have looked better than they have in a long while. Having said that things can change drastically in football over a relatively short period of time, so you won't find me making any rash predictions about our future!

Let's have it right, she announced the fanzine would stop the day Rovers got relegated on 2nd May !

Sounds like a proper hissy fit to me. Funny though.

To be fair it was a bad time for Rovers fans with some getting banned from the Mem I believe (John Majkeke sp?) for speaking out against the board!

Like you say now AFC Wimbledon and follows the cricket abroad.

It did get all a bit 'North Korean' at our place for a bit. I'm not sure if John was banned, but he-along with several others- were treated pretty shabbily by some at the club. Lansdown has come in for some-in my opinion ridiculous- stick on here at times, you might do well to remember that at least he hasn't resorted to excercising his substantial financial muscle to keep people quiet.

I'm pretty sure it's defunct unless someone else picked up the baton. I actually know the woman who used to run that fanzine in person - she's a very pleasant person incidentally and always got on well with her despite the rivalry.

However, she got fed up with the endless shenanigans at Rovers behind the scenes and no longer goes to watch them. She now follows AFC Wimbledon instead I believe.

She does. I was known for penning the odd article meself actually!

I think the fanzine just died a natural death as did many others after their heyday in the early 90s.

Getting on their own team bus and threatening the players.

Some god awful place like Kidderminster wasn`t it?

We dreamed of places like Kiddy that season. I think it happened at Altrincham and/or Alfreton.:(

It doesn't, we arent known for attacking family's, animals, shirters or innocent Windows!!!!

Well maybe not animals and windows, but I was in the East End the day a few of yours came in at the end of the game and saw some pretty cowardly indiscriminate stuff going on.

As cringeworthy as the video of the Rovers 'lads' having a go at a minibus is, let's not pretend that doesn't happen at your place either.

I thought a proud boast of the gas heads was their "unique" blue & white quarters.

No; they even knicked that idea as they didn't use quarters until 1931 http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Bristol_Rovers/Bristol_Rovers.htmRovers

Everton wore them in 1894 http://www.historicalkits.co.uk/Everton/Everton.htm

I'm hoping for your sake you didn't take too much time looking that up.

No - usually a Saturday for the lower divisions, horse punching is against the law on Sundays.

***** sake, I didn't realise they had made it illegal now. I was really looking forward to taking out one of those long nose ******* as well. Are we still allowed to **** off dogs?

Well I never knew toady was the anniversary of that game. It also happens to be 43 years ago today I saw my first Rovers game - I quite like that

To be fair Miah you got lucky two years running with your promotions although finishing second in the Conference was fair enough but Weren't Grimsby the better team in the final? And shouldn't you of lost your keeper after 10 minutes, without Taylor you certainly wouldn't be where you are now 

Yes. Dead lucky

Sadly, for you, the mainstay within the team of that recent success is sat on our bench.

Thankfully, it also seemed to for your players and hopefully it will bethat attitude which costs you a play off place. 

Yes, our players have shown an awful attitude over the past couple of seasons

Ye but it was only one or two . So it doesn't matter 

Rovers took more than 4,000 fans to the Ricoh Arena for the League One match, the vast majority of whom behaved impeccably. However this one incident could undermine what was Rovers' biggest away following for a number of years.

Of course it matters. I look forward to the day when both Bristol clubs can travel to away matches and no one causes any trouble.

1 minute ago, Bar BS3 said:

I don't think so. 

4,000 of you turned up to a see an impressive stadium, in full expectation of improving your position for a play off push, against the divisions whipping boys and by all accounts, came out second best. 

On a weekend where we had no game, that'll do. 

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I promise you the result registered a big fat zero on my give a **** register. (well maybe a 2.5 on a scale of 1-100)

Your big day out, with impressive numbers traveling to one of the seasons more attractive venues/fixtures, especially in expectation of a win, given the form book, seems to have all gone a bit wrong!

Your following appear displeased with the teams efforts, or lack of. The home support reviewed your support as bumpkin mongrels, akin to the social inbreeding that is rife in the slums of Burslem and apart from finding a canal side pub, the "big day out" seems to have been a bit of a disaster. 

 

Err, hardly a disaster! We lost a game, and we deserved to lose it. I have seen Rovers lose countless games over the years, and many more important ones than this. I was disappointed with our performance, because we have become quite an entertaining side to watch recently. , but I had forgotten about the result about half an hour after the game. You have had PLENTY of chances to mock our results in the past few years, yer clutching at straws with this one

Oh really? Quote from your own forum  "Bunch of tits stood on the steps all game instead of finding their seats. Also, the absolute f*cking pr!ck who started shouting out in the minutes silence ought to be banned for life, the belter" 

Yes really. The bloke who started trying to sing was pissed as a  fart and was walking up from the concourse- he realised after about two seconds a silence was going on. Yes there were a few blokes stood on the steps during the game, which although not allowed, no one died.

23 minutes ago, DancinDannyD said:

That is mostly true, there were singers outside still coming in and they wouldn't have known about the silence but there was, sadly, one solitary drunk **** (and all clubs have them) inside that shouted for all of a second before being universally shut down by all around him. 

I thought he just walked in from the concourse and was pretty pissed, which was why his attempt at singing stopped halfway through the first line.

Hardly a shock remember them ruining a minute silence at the gate years ago. Forget who it was for now.

Yes that was disgraceful, as were the Mickey Barratt chants at the previous game.

As for the minutes silence being 'disrespected' don't believe everything you read on the internet.

Yes, there were some Rovers fans singing during it, however they were outside the ground and wouldn't have known that there was a minutes silence going on. Unfortunate, but hardly disrespectful.
