Born and bred in Kingswood. Had the displeasure of growing up with the fewers. In 82 I was at speedwell school with the ***** and got slaughtered for our troubles. Will never forget them trying to take Ashton from us. Then to cap it all off I drank in the same pubs as them in 1990. So please excuse me whilst I celebrate the last near 18 years, Funnily enough most of the ones dishing it out have become bitter sad bastards. I'm loving it
Good for you.
Im glad to say that I have a much warmer relationship with the gas heads I know. We just take the piss out of each other with no bad feelings either way.

So says their supporters chauffeur....
They are inconsequential these days but you've been around long enough to remember why we don't like them surely?
Not really. In all the years 50+ that I’ve been attending AG, I’ve never had a real dislike let alone hatred for the gas. They’re football fans, just as we are but like every club they have a bunch of neantherdals who say and act in dumb and idiotic fashion.
Some of our fans are exactly the same.
All the furore about burning down stadiums, Holloway chuntering about his dislike for City........all contributes more angst to certain elements of both sets of fans. To me it’s all a bit Stone Age and I like to think that I’m above all that shit.
I know several gas heads and we often exchange harmless banter about our respective clubs. I’m always able to take the high morale ground.............
I dislike Swindon way more.
-
I just don’t get why some City fans feel the need to crow when the gas lose. Their result is as inconsequential to me as any other lower league team.
There was a time when the gas were in the same league as us but it’s difficult for me to remember when. It seems so long ago............

City played well for first 15mins but that was as good as it got. Having taken the lead they seemed to ease up and allowed Forest to re-establishe themselves in the game. I thought Pato was particularly poor and was delighted to se him replaced.
Second half wasn't any better but the gaping hole in City's midfield became more apparent and explains why nothing of any quality was created. Maybe LJ has a strategy of playing two banks of four with the full backs tucked it allowing the opposition the ball out wide. City certainly defended very narrowly today.
But.......a draw was about right imv.

Quite a special catch by Overton wasn't it
Tres said commentary that they practice that type of catch in training..........Obviously pays off!

Incredible work by Overton on the boundary
It was. He is a big bloke tho. Must 6'5' at least. He was fielding near us on the boundary at Bristol. Very agile given his height.

Full toss wasnt it?
Who knows? Could have been I suppose. Hit the stumps about two inches up...

Great delivery! Slow yorker bowling Gubbins....

Standard Joverton going for 14
Pace bowlers often do take serious tap in T20. Overton isn't the only one.

I`ve given up trying to predict what will happen with Somerset these days, I`ll just watch and hope.
Off to a good start. A Waller wicket in the first over.

Chances of us defending 229?
Trego just said that it's a chaseable score but Somerset don't have to rely on 8 overs of spin and that Middlesex didn't get the yorkers in at the death.

Bugger! Got done by the slower ball..............
-
Can't wait for Agar to come back on..........especially if Trego is still in.

Up to second.
Is it OK to stop worrying about relegation now?
Relegation was never a likelihood but then again neither was winning the CC Championship.......it's all a fix........

Personally it`s not for me but unfortunately what TV wants, TV gets.
Give me a test match any day (or a decent competitive 50 over game) - can`t wait for a week Wednesday when the first test starts. Mind you, just watch the weather change for the worse then!
Spot on.
Test match cricket is the ultimate level. No other form of the game comes close.

Most, if not all of us know some Rovers fans but for some odd reason are not prepared to admit it................

Thank the lord for Jack! Should see out a draw from here
For sure.
Must have been a batsmans track up there. Two impressive totals first innings gradually deteriorating over the last two days.

Nope didn’t get 400 in 110, we were about 15 short. Spinners took fair few wickets, let’s hope Jack runs through them
That's a bummer then! But still a very decent score nonetheless.

I did once drive gas head mates to Wembley. They had a whip round n the pub to buy my ticket if I’d drive them up as they all wanted to go on the piss.
Everyone thought it was funny that a die hard City fan was driving gasheads up to Wembley. Wembley had just been completed after the rebuild and the Gas match was one of the first to be played there. It was an amazing place buy I can’t remember who the other team was, Bury possibly...........not that it matters. Lots of water under the bridge since then.
