It is fair to say that nobody does piss-streaked buildings like Bristol Rovers ...

Yeah but their ground "redevelopment" has cost less than 1% of a Tilson compared to our tens of millions. Pissing all over us off the pitch yet again!!

Let's put the Gas attendance lie to bed shall we, read the attached and weep !

14 years only have they had a better attendance than us, how many times have we exceeded twice their numbers+ etc... discover for yourselves!

#gaslogic dictates that you ignore facts like the above (once in the last FIFTY years they've beat us on attendance), make statements like "if we were in their position we'd piss all over their attendances" and that becomes the undisputed truth.

What you don't realise is that the ground only holds just over 8100   !    

In the interests of fairness clubs should start giving attendance figures of Rovers fans locked out in the car park.

Hope we get the win obviously but would we see a "dirty" 0-0 draw as an improvement over last season?

8,431 for the Massives today, the Wolves fans were right, far bigger club than we could ever be!! Hope the extra bog roll being supplied in the Tent End didn't run out.

Rovers fans have been jizzing all week about what a massive club they are compared to "they gert teds" so 20k down the swamp today then?

4 points from Reading and Wolves is a great effort from all concerned. Brave selection tonight by Johnson so love him or loathe him he had to be given the plaudits for that.

This selection lies somewhere between genius and ridiculous, just can't work out where!!

But with Frank nigh on impossible to beat perhaps we can play any formation and get away with it!!

Think we're trying to win this one 10-9.

Complete and utter waste of a Saturday afternoon. Diedhou looks like a pub player.

The amount of bullshit in that statement though 

'Some of the best fans in the country'

'Family Club'

'99.9% are brilliant supporters'

Never known a club like it. Belters from top to bottom.

They are a family club....a White Supremacist, Horse Punching, Boob Cricket playing, till thieving, Season Ticket Scamming family!!!!!

and the Millwall scorer runs to celebrate in front of the gas fans, hands to he's ears.

Goading the fans already, bodes well for later!

I just hope the City fans there, hell bent on causing trouble, don't react.

Looking a lot healthier than a few weeks ago, think I'd be twitching a bit if I was drum or Forest.
Still think it will finish as it is now though.

That tells us nothing. I would have been delighted to go 3-3 against Derby before that game, but I was fuming that we were 3-0 up at half-time!!

If we don't beat Barnsley than that will be a massive kick up the arse to Blackburn's morale whether they beat Wolves or not. My nerves would rather have Villa at home than Brighton away to contend with.

What I know is since being bummed 5-0 at Preston we've picked up 7 points out of 9, not good enough for some maybe but I would have taken it if offered. It is up to us to beat Barnsley, which we would have expected to be the case weeks ago anyway. Can't see a negative keeping the gap to 4 points with other sides below us.

Just now, cynic said:

Off course we have, we probably need 3 points maximum now - hopefully against Barnsley on saturday.

Very good point for us, keeps them at arms length 4 points (5 with GD) in front with 3 games left. 

Shame we didn't take the chances for 3 points but would have taken the point beforehand.

We were 25/1 for relegation before this game and I suspect the odds will be even longer now - people who think we haven't improved our position can always stick a few quid on that I suppose (waste of money mind).

 

Everyone talking about the missed chances.........were we missing sitters?

Just now, sephjnr said:

No, we haven't. It's still 4pts, and it's only gone from 4pts with 15 available to 4pts with 9 left. And I would be far more comfortable needing to get the job done vs Barnsley at the Gate in front of our white-hot crowd, than vs Brighton at their place with their white-hot crowd.

Tbf 4 points ahead with 9 available is a position most would have given their right arm for around 3-4 weeks ago.

If the club have any sense they will do a "special" on Saturday. Get the top tier open and 25k in there!!

I'll take the point but feels like a defeat in truth.

 

Difficult to say that without being there and seeing what we actually missed.

Had the roles been reversed we would be raging now saying this was a must win game against a team who couldn't beat an egg away from home. Blackburn didn't win their must win game, yes it sounds like we might have won it but difficult to tell how easy chances are 200 miles away from behind your keyboard!!

Take the point, quick shower, on the bus and get the hell out of there knowing Blackburn need to get a minimum five points in three games (two away) to overhaul us.......and that's if we fail to pick up another point this season.

I don't think it was the changes, Bryan held on way too long to that ball at the end.

Exactly.

Really? They scored in 95th min and according to most who were there it was down to Flint ball watching 

Any excuse though to find a way to have a pop at LJ though 

No, 100% one of our owns fault.

You and I both know that's not what you meant. You accused me of having a dig at LeeJ as I 'obviously' disliked him. I have asked you numerous times to back up your claim and you have failed to do so. 

Happy you are delighted with our win but maybe get your facts right in future and don't jump so easily to conclusions as you just make yourself look foolish. I'm not going to say anymore on this, I'm bored now. No doubt you will want to have the last word.  Be my guest...

Can I have the last word?

Stop it the pair of you!!!!!!!!!

Don't get too excited. Our second win in millions of games and those wins have been against...............the bottom two!!!
