Matt Jay feathering his nest with a brace.

It’s Janneh time.

Gas 1 down

Reaction to losing a goal is immediate. It doesn’t mean anything other than an instant disappointment.

Well done young man.

Being disgruntled, going 1-0 down to a 4th tier side, is not throwing toys out of the pram, it’s a natural expression of disappointment.

Pathetic.

Just tuned in to Robin’s TV audio stream to realise it’s the Radio Bristol stream including reports on the Sag’s. Sorry but If they’re going to charge £140 per year for TV coverage that they’re not showing, they can at least provide a bespoke club commentary which doesn’t mention our bitter neighbours.

If Dante were alive today I’m sure he would update his Divine Comedy to include a 10th circle of hell; Signing for the Rovers.

25-1 with William Hill to get relegated back down to the conference where they belong. £10 on the nose more than pays for the end of season champagne celebration.

3 from 27 at Fleetwood, 1 from 16 at Darlington and 0 from 2 at Hartlepool. What’s not to like?

Boom Boom

The trouble with time travel is that it’s all relative.

The Alan Dicks Stand sounds fine by me. The other point is that one day AD will pass to that great Ashton Gate in the sky, hopefully not for a long time yet, when there will be an outpouring grief and calls for some form of permanent memorial, including calls for a stand to be named after him. Why not recognise his efforts now, when he’s still alive and able to appreciate the affection the support has for him?

Spot on! The South Stand should be renamed “The Terry Cooper Stand” with immediate effect - Why not The Alan Dicks Stand, or even The Harry Thicket Stand, who are the only two managers to get us promoted to the top flight. In ADs case, I believe he is our longest serving manager. Harry Thicket took us to a cup final and to a runners up spot in the top flight. If you’re naming stands on merit, both men seem to be more deserving of recognition IMHO.

If Palace really want him they’ll pay the 5M. Problem is they’ll let it go down to the wire, which won’t help our forward planning. Ideally, if we let it known we’re willing to sell, we might drum up a counter offer from another club which might force Palace off the pot, earlier rather than later.

Even better, I can see Wally pulling the plug .

I think Wibs is just cock teasing them.

D’you think if I registered as Basement Gas they’d smell a rat.

You see I disagree. I’d like them to go bust and reform as AFC Bristol Rovers, ground share with the Mangos and end up bouncing between the southern league and conference south.

Unfortunately not, but they’ll be standing on the scaffolding, hood on, noose around the neck, the hangman with his hand in the lever and the priest chanting the last rites.

It’s one of those “ has my life really come to this” moments.

I noticed there’s a large green wheelie bin just to the left of the goal at the Wendy house end. Good to see the gas are recycling their rubbish. Shame for them they can’t throw a few players in it.

Getting the thread back on track. We are fast approaching the 20th anniversary of the last Bristol league derby which was on the 3rd April 2001. The 1-1 draw where Phillips saved the penalty in the last minute. Who’d have thought as walked out of their hovel of a ground that there wouldn’t be another league derby for at least 20 years.
