I heard that - made me laugh out loud - has he only just noticed that we've been missing all three? Feeble interview from a much diminished figure...all bluff and bluster. He knows he won't lose his job...but he also surely knows that he hasn't had a clue how to replicate our early season form, and that most of the people in the stands can see that. I feel sorry for the bloke...but not as sorry as I feel for our club right now, best opportunity in years thrown away. You have to wonder what goes through SL's head in trusting the whole 'project' to such a wet-behind-the-ears rookie, unfathomable...

Top post.

Had his 3 Windows. No further forward.

No leaders or communicators? Surely that was part of Mark Ashton’s ‘due diligence’? He and Lee certainly banged on and on about DNA.

I have seen lots of people with all of these coaching badges and excellent grades, but they cannot get the best out of players and can’t properly man manage.

I have seen them make the fatal mistake of trying to ‘educate’ the players with this pompously written clap trap, but this is footballers we are talking about. They just want to play football and enjoy it. They don’t want to be ‘schooled’. 

Talent, fitness and fun will get the best out of footballers, not quoting Einstein’s theory of relatively.

You pass to him, he passes to him, he crosses to him, and he scores. He’s deadly in front of goal so make sure you get it to him as much as possible. If the ball comes near our goal don’t piss about with it get it as far up the other end of the pitch as you can because the opposition won’t score from there.

Football is a simple game. Get a brilliant man manager and an assistant who can find the right sort of players to do their jobs well as part of a team. Job done.

I think that our problem is that we’ve tried to go all 21st century and our players aren’t interested anymore. The fun has gone. The demise has begun.

Standard for Sagheads.

Tell them the facts and they press the block button rather than argue. Pussy’s.

The truth obviously hurts.

 

Blocking is standard. I have to read their shit about 2nd May 1990 and not only how they “deserved it” but how funny it was that they nipped in to steal the Championship trophy at our expense. Then as soon as I post celebrations of our league and cup double I am blocked or unfriended, or no longer followed. How ******* pathetic is that? Some of these are supposedly mature blokes. Don’t ******* dish it out if you can’t take some back (with a bit on top and some actual facts thrown in). 

It’s the Sags primitive defence mechanism.

As Neanderthals with small club syndrome they are programmed to celebrate anything that makes them feel BIGGER than the the Ted’s. Even if it is for seconds. It’s like Sag Tourettes and once they realise what they have done they literally have to hide and go to la-la land until it is all over. In the case of the Conference this silence can last for up to 2 years.

Yeah, they really looked like they were celebrating on May 3rd 2014. 

It might have made them take a step back and re-evaluate things (like any club after a relegation) but that doesn’t stop it being massively embarrassing for them and very entertaining for us. They’re no further forward now than they were under Higgs in 2007 even with new (supposedly wealthy) owners who, lets face it, appear to have done very little. 

Not sure what ‘Mancgas’ is trying to say in his response as he’s either thick or does not have English as his first language?

As I’ve mentioned before about the the whole ‘franchise’ thing...only one Bristol club has left Bristol in the past to play in a different City and only one Bristol club has recently made plans to leave Bristol again.

Franchise Gas.

Yes, the franchise statement from the Dwane Sport franchise of the Channel Islands.

MancGas has clearly malfunctioned which is standard for a Sag faced with facts.

If 2014 did them so good did they pick up all of those football banning orders for “celebrating”? Why was the Steward put into row Z? Why was Dobbin “Punched”, why did the young lad “crack” the copper in the middle of the pitch? Didn’t look like those supporters who stormed on the pitch after Mansfield went to the box to applaud Higgs? Was Mike “Two Divorces” tears simply tears of joy? “Muhdumm”, did they run across to the Mansfield supporters looking for Ted infiltrators to “Hug”?, Why did they fall silent for 2 years?

Only #gaslogic would say that getting relegated out the entire football league would be a good thing. 

#Gaslogic is a mental disorder. It’s called Paranoid Schizophrenia. Effectively you see things that aren’t there, believe you are someone else with magical powers, and then when things go tits up you deny any recollection of it.

Bristol Sport - Company registered in Bristol, Owner lives in the Channel Islands. Booooo tax dodging sheed. Bad bad bad.

Dwayne Sport - Company registered in the Channel Islands, Owner lives in Bristol. Hooray, he's such nice man, Sag legend, we love him, good good good.

********.

Don’t let the facts get in the way. They will go on lockdown. Steve Lansdown was a Sag you know!

Pray for the teds imo. They just don't understand that being relegated out of the entire league was the best thing that ever happened to us!

What a ******* idiotic statement.

That’s it though we DO UNDERSTAND and agree that it was the best thing that ever happened to you Sags. Beats your 0-0 Watney Cup victory hands down. We still believe it was the best thing and have devoted a 704 page thread dedicated to it’s honour and your ongoing gift provisions.

@Cheesleysmate do you have one of our special friends and his thatcher years comment ?

@Ska Junkie had it and realeased my “Remix” a few months back. It truly is comedy gold. You want to watch a Sag wither when it is played to them?! You would be hard pushed to find a Sag that can tolerate it until the end. They generally walk of as soon as Geoffrey Twentyman says “Any idea of where Alfreton is?” 

On 04/05/2018 at 23:03, BCFC11 said:

Sags won’t be jealous at all, they are getting ANOTHER tent after all, reading some of their comments some of them appear to like it now they are staying there, funny that ain’t it, and UWE was bland  yet a couple of years ago it was far better than ‘tarted up trashton gate’ and suddenly it was in the best interests of the club to turn UWE down, of course it was, all because that ever so lovely owner of theirs said so, it was all bull and they lapped it up as always, worst set of fans on this planet, they deserve Chernobyl.

 

18,000 all white plastic seater Big Top on the way for the clowns. Mind the Gap.

Just proves a point that they have been obsessively reading our Sir Colin Day celebrations and have been hurt beyond belief as they were back in 2014. 

Best thing that ever happened to them my arse! Wonder if they will still be saying that when DC eventually ***** off and they are languishing at the foot of League 2 again with rain pouring through holes in the tents?!

Love Jeff’s commentary ‘they could of been 4 up but they haven’t taken their chances and they maaaaaaayyyyyy pay for it with their football league status’ 

FTG

I know. Never ever get bored of it. Have to pinch myself just to believe that it actually happened and how hilarious it was.

I’ve done a 3rd May commemorative video with the best bits of that day including a bit of Jeff Stelling enthusing about their relegation and some flashbacks to the premature celebrations at Wycombe the week before. It’s on its way to @Ska Junkie if you could do the honours?....The gift that keeps on giving.

Bit longer than that, it was about an hour I believe.

 

You couldn’t post it on here by any chance could you?

 

They were saying they were going to swap divisions with us as late as March that season.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ******* clowns!! That made it even better...along with the way they’d celebrated our relegation to League 1 only 12 months earlier.

Bottlers.

@Ska Junkie Might be able to do the honours. He still has my Mike “Mash-Up” I believe? I will no doubt be playing it full blast down the A38 later this evening.

I still love the fact that rovers were relegated by a team wearing their own kit!!

It just added to the comedy. It really was a balls up of epic proportions. They couldn’t have been dumped out of the football league any better in my opinion. From celebrating like bellends at Wycombe and singing songs about how everyone was going to believe them that they are staying up only to have the very same side assist with slamming a nail into their coffin the following week. From Agent Ward, to dopey crying, from two divorces to “City fans in the away end waiting for us”, to Colin Daniel dress in a black Rovers away shirt slamming in that beauty off the posts to their rioting and steward/horse punching exploits. Family club mind! FAMILY CLUB! It couldn’t have been a better day if it had been scripted!

Just been listening once again to “Two Divorce Mike” as fresh and as funny as it was back in 2014.

Happy 3rd of May.....Sir Colin Day.

What a joyous day to celebrate. Especially when the Sags open up to it by trying to cling on in desperation to 1990. That ain’t a patch on the calamity that unfolded in 2014. 

They talked of the playoffs all season and then shit themselves on the last day and crashed out of the football league having celebrated staying up the week before prematurely.

There were 27 different permutations that day and only 3 of them would see the Sags relegated to the Non League where they should still be today.

It was the best day of my life at the time. Only bettered by City’s League and Cup double the following season.

Someone should ask what Mr Karim Mardam-Bey does at Bristol Rovers' £ 250 000 pa London office.

Hopefully he is looking at some guy ropes and some sturdy pegs at the moment. The wind doesn’t half get up around Muller Road

Has anyone got the photos of the presentation we made to Sir Colin? The Gasheads I know we’re particularly riled by those!!!

What a dumb thing to do, just begging to have it thrown back in their face at a later date......bit like celebrating staying up and making grand predictions for the following season before hilariously falling out of the entire League a week later.

Isn’t it just?! Just when you poke fun at them for being just a bunch of obsessed and deluded pillocks a happy clapper breaks rank and goes all overboard about our form after just 20 odd games and a pointless cup run in a competition that we are never likely to win whilst in the Championship anyway?!!!

I remember running around the house screaming and laughing at the result 

Me too. It was the only thing left at the time that they had over us that carried any credibility, in the fact that they had never been in the bottom tier.....mind you they passed that with gusto in 2014 and oh how we will celebrate again in just a few hours (incidentally making their 2nd of May even more insignificant than it already was).

I remember my neighbour destroying his recently purchased season ticket raffle book stating that he would not go to watch them again until they were out of the basement. **** me, I saw the *** on the pictures of their open top bus tour for coming second in the Vanarama mind....He obviously couldn’t wait what he thought would be an eternity for them to get back to League One. Fortunately for him he didn’t have to wait too long although he has probably forgotten all about his statement and is likely to offer me out in a KFC if I pointed it out to him. ******* victim!

It was just a shame that it was created by a City fan who got carried away far too early. Must only have been about 12 as anyone who has supported this club for decades will know that we are serial chokers.

ps we were also promoted so it wasn't such a great night for the few after all!

Seen it and said “Yes....2001 Basement Rovers. Looking forward to tomorrow though for even bigger celebrations!”

One of our deluded rose tinted spec brigades created a “City Promotion Party” on Facebook for May 6th after we beat Man United. Total knee jerk reaction that has come back to bite hard on the arse.

The group is open and most of the Tote Enders have signed up.

On this day in 1986 a massive 3,576 Sags (and 20,000 locked out) turned up to watch their last ever match as Eastvile Squatters. En masse they piled into the IKEA end and paid a massive 50p for their programme which had a picture of them unsurprisingly scoring against “The Shit” on the front. (Not at all obsessed with us are they?) Massive Club.

They also made a video. I have a few photos from the original footage.....

If you compare Gypsies to Sags I am sure that the Gypo’s might take offence as it would make them appear worse than they actually are.

Or “The Squatters” which is what they have been for the majority of their life as a football league club.
