FC Deportivo Galicia?

In North Western Spain or a club of Spanish migrants to South East England?

Galician migrants in London

Sounds feasible Bert. Never to return I suspect. Could Rovers rent the Lawns after FGR move? 

If they're looking for a vacant ground then the Avanhard Stadium in Pripyat is still unused. 

Better condition than their current dump too.

Talks renewed about merger with Forest Green Rovers and relocation to Gloucestershire.

Please no. 

I was hoping they'd relocate somewhere a little further away. 

Like Pyongyang.

Looks like someone has stolen their line.......

Co-op was pretty empty the last time I was in there.

The dates on the crisps were fine though. 

I'm sure the Balloon Fiesta had a massive impact on their attendance what with the mass ascents being cancelled the day before and the site being closed completely later on the Saturday.

Amazed at where Huddersfield are in that table.

After the Paddy Power gimmick they have a shirt without a sponsor on it, I suspect this has in part made it very popular.

.Every player from that squad went on to play in the top tier of English football. Has any other local team achieved that?

Bristol city 1976 squad?

I tell you what they’ll happily leave a foot in for a tackle. Having reffed woman’s football they are more fearless in a tackle that’s for sure. The only thing I’d say is it’s slightly slower. But actual skill there’s not much difference. 

Man City Woman’s would probably beat rag ass rovers!!

 

A couple of years ago FC Dallas U15 team beat the USA National Women's team 5-2. 

I think there is a sizeable disparity between men's and women's football and you'd have to go quite far down to some really poor sides to find a men's side that would lose to a women's side. 

So yes, the fewers would probably lose.

Is Walsh actually going to play? **** me has hell frozen over?

Yes it's ******* freezing.

If Paterson emerges for the 2nd half LJ has clearly lost the plot, he is dreadful, half hearted, weak, not worth his place in the side and we are a weaker side when he plays.

To me the Paterson situation is getting a bit like when Fontaine was continuously played despite being devoid of form or confidence. 

Paterson needs to be out of the squad for a few weeks.

Were called the gas because of the proximity to the old gasworks to Eastville.

Now need a slight name change to the gaz.

As in gazebo.

Or?

Corinthian Spirit truly dead in Bristol then, save for some of us oldies who still remain true to the standards of the 40s and 50s.  Atyeo and Bradford must be spinning in their graves at the views expressed here, if you can call them that.

Even nostalgia ain't what it used to be.

I make no claim as to being a "football" supporter.

I am a Bristol City Supporter and **** everyone else.

From Swansea forums:

Bristol City's passing is slicker and more accurate than ours and Andreas Weimann is head and shoulders above everybody else on the pitch. Very classy player.
We have been totally outplayed

We r second best today guys

Is that the general attitude? 

Sometimes fans (ourselves included) are so focused on their own team they find it hard to credit the opposition so if that is the general attitude it shows just how well we played.

I'm feeling in a good mood so going to pay LJ a compliment. 

Lee Johnson > Steve McClaren 

 

Talk about damning with faint praise

Played 4 drawn 2 won 1 and lost 1

The loss came against Boro who’ll be serious promotion candidates this season. 

Not a bad start all things considered.

Goals for 6 Goals Against 5.

Exactly the same as last season after 4 games.

And our top scorer is Weimann, on 4, the same as Reid was after 4 games.

Great goal. Otherwise utter dross. On this show Johnson is mugging a living. No bright young coaching evident here. It's shapeless hoofball. Get him out Lansdown. Clueless. Being rescued by his willing players. 

Sometimes, particularly when you are in a poor run of form, you just have to grind out a result. 

We don't have to be Brazil 1970 tonight we just have to grind out the win.

Typically we score as I get up to make a drink and there is no replay on sky 

Can you go and get another drink then?

Great save

How anyone thinks we will ever create chances with such little movement is beyond me.

In fairness: Wright, Baker and Hegeler all injured who'd be ahead of Kelly at CB. 

To me Webster and Hunt have caused us more concern than the other two anyway.
