This is why they are the biggest and most hilarious joke in English football:-

I'm not saying anything for fear of being negative against the machine.....

What is all this about us being a soulless franchise?

Aren't they the ones who sold out to the first mob that turned up, from Jordan with no track record in football?

They really are a hilarious bunch.

If they do come up then yes, that would do nicely, however no "ideal" scenario of mine could ever include them getting promoted in the first place! 

If they do come up then fair play to them. It would be a quite unbelievable achievement considering that they were buried in the conference only two years ago. Apparently their fans were moaning last night against Fleetwood. Blimey, a Goldfish has a longer memory than a Gashead obviously?!

Also goes to prove what a delusional bunch they are too!

We are so obsessed with them because we have this 3000 page thread about them apparently?

I for one admit that I am indeed obsessed with the Gas. I am totally and utterly obsessed with the squatters and these are the reasons why....

Just mentioning the name of Bristol City Football Club causes a Gashead to go into an a strange teddy (no pun intended) throwing meltdown. They usually start frothing like a rabid dog spouting all kinds of rubbish and it usually starts with a correction of the "actual" name of Bristol City stating that it contains the year 1982 followed by pointing out that it's "Limited". This is followed quite quickly by being told to "**** off. You S***head C***". 

If you stand your ground they then threaten to treat you like they would treat a horse or one of their own stewards. They mention the "Tote End" as if to rubber stamp how serious they are about fast tracking you an appointment with the B.R.I. 

Then, in a quite bizarre twist they insinuate that somehow this is all YOUR fault, not theirs. Rule 1 of their Bristol City Fight Club is not to mention the name Bristol City (unless it contains 1982 in the middle).

If for whatever reason you manage to avoid physical assault the verbal assault continues....

The 2nd of May is mentioned (not the 2001 one which saw Wycombe relegate them to the basement)

Dean Windass

Rickie Lambert's goal

72 attendance for an EFL cup tie on a Tuesday night in Scunthorpe 

The library that is Ashton Gate

How they would assault Santa if he turned up at their house wearing red

A complete ban on anything red full stop

How they are the richest and oldest football club in Bristol (both factually incorrect)

How they are the best loyal and faithful and true fans in the whole wide world (the riot when the were relegated out of the football league was caused by Ted's and therefore doesn't count against them)

And the big one.....How many fans they took to an away game! It is the number one question on all Gasheads lips "How many did we take?".

I am obsessed with how 90% of their terrace songs mention Bristol City 

How they react with an overspilling uncontainable sense of joy when they win and City lose.

How they point out our misfortunes before we even know about it through official channels.

How at the very core of every Gas supporter the holy grail is only achieved at the expense of Bristol City in some way:-

Rovers win and City lose

They beat City 

City lose

Anything negative about City

How they can become richer than Bristol City 

How many more fans they can take to an away game than Bristol City

How they are "coming for Bristol City"

When they go above Bristol City

When they finish higher than Bristol City

How disgusted they are with media bias towards Bristol City

How they think they have "one over on Ted's" and quickly plaster it all over social media, only to end up finding out that they have got it wrong or that something happens that makes their claim null and void, which leaves them with egg on their face, looking stupid and causing them to want to fight with any 'Ted who mentions it going forward.

They can dish it out but just cannot take it back without erupting.

How they see themselves as a family club

It seems that the life of a Bristol Rovers supporter is tough. Deep down they know that they pulled the short straw when choosing a team to support. They know that they are pretty much destined for an entire lifetime of poor quality football in the lower divisions, but still they cling on to the dream that one day they can become the biggest club in the west and challenging at the top end of the Premiership adored throughout the land. They carry with them the burning sense of injustice and jealousy with their near neighbours having tasted top flight football, and league and cup success from time to time. It hurts to know that a club that was built from ashes has still managed to achieve more than them since 1982. It hurts, and that hurt runs deep.

But like an alcoholic in denial they continue to punish themselves with watching kick and rush park football every week whatever the weather, and to save their sanity they tell themselves that they are gods chosen ones, they are the innocent, the loved, the faithful and true, the best club ever, the ONLY choice, and that if you fail to see their reality then you must be an "Obsessed 'Ted".

Hammills goal.

 

Hark at Geoff Boycott when the goal goes in mind?!!! Pmsl 

Clappy Clappy everyone's happy. Ignore the negatives and focus on the positives. A point away we'll take that all day. No-one played bad it was all good and all the decisions were great. Woo hop 

Shored up well after going in front then? Who's fault was it?

What Tomlin and Tammy scoring. It's a squad game isn't it? Rotate I up landlord!

Yes, the 1883 date relates to the predecessor of the predecessor of one of the teams that merged to become horse Punching Sag Losers FC.

But since when have they been concerned with facts?

They are only concerned with away attendances.Theirs is apparently the biggest and best ever (faithful and true) according to um.....them! 72 at Scunthorpe on a Tuesday versus 29,000 Sags turning up against Chelsea. Best away supporters in history

Ok, let's have a look at the facts then...

1) Swindon Town were formed before the Gas. 

2) Wally and his family are no where near as wealthy as SL.

3) They haven't averaged over 10k at home for 4 decades, they play in a small ground (that they never fill) in front of tents for stands. They've never even played top flight football.

So no, none of those claims in the picture are 'official' in the slightest. Some of their fans really don't help themselves, no wonder everyone laughs at them....the deluded idiots.

The gift.

Yeah but yeah but you lot were only formed in 1982! So have it Dean Windass and Rickie Lambert, 2nd of May (Not 2001 when Wycombe sent us to the basement mind, the other one!) Holloway, Gerry Francis, obsessed Ted's!

Why are they so obsessed with attendances and their away following? They are almost as obsessed about it as they are about us.....Oh yeah, now I remember it is because they recently found out that Wally isn't as rich as Steve and they have been left to look like the gift that just can't help giving AGAIN ......

I'm home and trying to dry out and calm down (I live in Sheffield)

11 on 11 we were the better team. That's the crumb of comfort I'm clinging to here. However, we bottled it after the two sendings off- completely lost our heads and I think that's very worrying. Everything that was good in the first half just went out the window at 10 v 10 and we should have had the advantage; we were quicker than them for an hour and passed the ball better. We ran them ragged first half and yet we were blowing out our arses in the last 10

The penalty was as clear as they come and while I appreciate that Tomlin is the designated penalty taker, why the **** wouldn't he give it Tammy? He can only lose from that situation- if he scores so what. If he misses he looks like a**** who's just robbed an 18 year old of a hattrick. O'Neil's sending off was bullshit. HOWEVER you make a tackle like that, on a yellow card, after the ref has just sent a home player off, he's going to even things up

So what was good. Tammy is an absolute beast. It's my first game of the season, I didn't expect him to be so physically dominant. Magnusson is clearly a top quality player, needs to work on his heading but his positioning and awareness are excellent and he's got a great pass on him. O'Dowda was also good, Bryan excellent and Brownhill was also very good first half

The bad. Tomlin is part of the problem here folks. We want everything to go through him, but he just can't keep up with Tammy, COD or even Brownhill or Bryan. Then when he does get the ball he's holding on and holding on because he wants to be the one who plays the killer ball rather than just having the play go through him. Johnson either needs to find a different way to utilise him or bench him from my small viewing sample

Midfield- Pack is too passive in a game like that, that's why O'Neil was having to make the kind of challenges that got him sent off. Pack is great when we have possession and are dominating play, he doesn't influence it enough when we're chasing the ball

Flint- from the sublime to the ridiculous. He's making mistakes and he needs to cut it out 

Management- Johnson didn't do enough to influence that game and when he did, he frankly got it wrong. He brought Bobby Reid on to the right wing when Adam Reach was running riot. Bobby then constantly drifted inside, giving Reach so much room and space. It needed a proper winger on there to a) get behind him and b) reduce the space he had. Bobby was either poorly instructed or poorly disciplined 

Anyway, rant over. Hopefully some lessons will be learnt and some improvements made. The 1st half needs to be the norm and the 2nd half needs to be learnt from

Spot on! Johnson got it tactically wrong after O'Neil went off. Bannan then ran the show and it was wave after wave as if our midfield didn't exist.

Both me and the old man said that we were going to lose as soon as O'Neil went off. Gutted that we were right! It's clear that O'Neil is a massive influence and will be badly missed on Saturday. After he went off it was like a knife through butter to coin a well known phrase which I find hard to understand after we bossed the first half and both had 10 men on the pitch?

Rickie Lambert has signed for Baadiff. So will all the sags be buying bluebird shirts with "Lambert" on the back? After all, they did it with England shirts years after he had left the club?

Incredible stuff from the brain dead idiots who frequent that den of stupidity.

Maybe Chelsea loaned us Tammy because they thought our support is superb, Obviously we didn't need to prove it by selling 4k tickets for a glamour cup tie at Stamford Bridge. I expect West Brom were dying to send us players after we took 5k to the Hawthorns in January?

Their apparent satisfaction that Wally is not so quick to put his hand in his pocket is in stark contrast to the shit they were all coming out with when the Al Qadis arrived and they all went into w@nky overdrive about how he was going to splash the cash and bring in quality players to help them overtake us in the league.

Hypocritical morons.

And apparently they love Sir Colin Daniel as much as we do because if it wasn't for him they wouldn't have had such unprecedented success. Back to back promotions. Utter pandemonium at the end of last season because they were up to the dizzy heights of....wait for it....Division 3! Ahaahaaahaaa Ahaahaaahaaa....please stop it Sags I can't take all of these gifts!

The thing for me is intent. Back to back promotions, wealthy owner and all they have to show for it so far is 1 new tent and a 6 month loan signing.

Its pathetic. You don't need to go nuts but where is the intent? Their record signing is only 300 odd k. Show some ambition.

Quick have a ridiculous love-in on Gloucester Road to celebrate zero spending. Hold Wally aloft! The gift is back to giving generously again! 

Wael Al-Qadi is.....The LOAN Ranger!.....#Tinpotclub
