As I posted earlier in this thread, each to their own. I have solid, historical reasons for greatly disliking Swindon and Cardiff but no historical or current reasons for feeling the same towards the Gas.

So no other City fans have mates who follow the Gas? If that is what you're saying then that's a very strange and one eyed comment.

Not in slightest. In fact I'd welcome them and join in.

Yeah, really. Swindon because it's a shit hole of a place full of inbreds who think that Swindon Town FC are the greatest team in the West...... There's a great amount of history between the fans going back to the 70s and the only place I ever got a real kicking and then arrested before being taken to PMH to get treated for a busted rib. Cardiff because it's Cardiff! It's actually a nice City despite being full of taffies. The amount of grief they've caused us on and off the pitch over decades is immense. They're as close as I've ever got to hating a football club and now that Colin is there it's even closer.

Each to their own I guess. Im only too happy to engage in a bit of friendly banter with my gashead mates but they know that I have the high ground so they tend to change the subject. When they get cocky as they regularly do I mention the tented village they play on and ask them what division they're in these days. I have a far greater dislike for Swindon and Cardiff than I do the Rovers.

I wouldn't have that you, a respected and long standing poster would resort to such a cheap and very tired jibe.

I very rarely read threads with any suggestion that they are gas related but obviously can't avoid seeing the thread title. I just don't get why some posters find it necessary to harp on about the Rovers. They aren't even in our league ffs. If they were then it would be understandable to see such posts because they'd be rivals.

How's this for an idea? - create a Bristol Rovers sub forum similar to the transfer one. Then most of us wouldn't have to put up the boring gashead topics.

Spot on. Tired of all the gashead threads..........

I know that but they won't admit it.......

That is such a tired and old gibe........... Do try to come up with something more original.

A couple of my mates would care because they're gasheads but they so say don't read otib.....

Haven't we got enough to post about our own club? This yet another Gas thread.......ffs.......nobody cares....... z z z z z z z z

Eddie Jones would my choice. I'm sure SL could afford him.......

Having been to every PL game at AG and witnessed the "boys against men" early in the season Bristol are definitely improving. Although they lost to both Bath and Leicester their performances were very competitive in both, they held their own and managed a bonus losing point against two top sides. The knowledgeable guys all around me are a little more optimistic about staying up.

Several posters feel a Brighton win is likely and I can understand why but...I really fancy a 2-2 draw. Im sure we'd all delighted to avoid defeat. So strong is the feeling that 2-2 will be the result I'm off down the bookies a bit later......

At least they've acted.

The guys made of glass. Gavin "sick note" Henson.

I left early. It was fcking dreadful. I couldn't watch anymore shite. Got home and caught the last few mins of Exeter v Bath on Sky. Now that we a proper game of Premier rugby with Bath 4 points down at the 80mins and they pushed the Chiefs back on got over in the corner after several collapsed scrums. I should have stayed home and watched that..... Bristol had no idea and the guys around me were going nuts at the performance.

Good news indeed. Goldbourne not in the squad? Is he injured?

For those of us who lost their dad we all know just how you feel Rich. My sympathies to you.

Only just saw your post EMB. You must have a crystal ball because there was a lengthy discussion about Robinson ability to actually win anything. Failed with Scotland and hasn't achieved anything with any team he's coached. Definately some unrest amongst the rugby faithful for sure. Bristol have been hammered in three of the first four PL games and last night they were truly hopeless in the first 20 mins, Now I'm the first to admit that don't know a great deal about the finer points of rugby but even I could see just how great the step up is from the championship to the PL. They were outclassed all over the pitch. Things need to change at Bristol Rugby or it's a return to the Championship in double quick time.

You have a kind heart honey..

I went. Put a post in stadium matters.

I attended the rugby today at AG. Good atmosphere but poor Bristol got badly beaten. Apparently they were very off the pace and deseved to be well behind at HT - that's according to the guys around me.. The sound system remains shockingly poor. Yet again no-one could hear the announcements- exactly the same as when City are at home. Muffled. Why it's so difficult to fix is one of life's mysteries. Hung around after the game for a pint. Great buzz around the stage with a 14 yr boy playing guitar like a pro. He was whacking out some great classics. Very talented lad.
