Ska Junkie

Are you me reddoh?

Not fair! I've been to the pub. My post was quite generous I thought. Anyway, ? the ws. COY s! Bed time for this old ?ed! Down the Gate tomorrow boys!!!

Miah, I totally agree with the second bit and enjoy plenty of banter both giving and taking, it's all good fun and I'm too bloody old to do anything else anyway. The first bit is wrong with all respect, the fact is that r**ers did stop a council 'bail out' loan hoping to get their hands on the Gate when we died. Absolutely shameful behaviour and explains why those of us of a certain age, don't have any time for your CLUB. It reminds me of vultures looking to feed after a kill. That, in my opinion and it was well covered at the time, is exactly what your club did and I, for one, won't forget it. I appreciate those that run your club now are a different group but, I'm sure, you would feel the same if the roles were reversed. As Super says, you and ITN are more than welcome on here and add to the forum.

Slight contradiction there WTGR ITN. I enjoy reading your posts but you're barking up totally the wrong tree here! I assume you weren't around in those perilous times for our club? If you were, with all respect you wouldn't be so blase about it.

Thanks Monkeh. How anyone who was around in those dark days can think any differently is totally beyond me TBH. I will never forget what they tried to do. I can understand young 'uns having a different opinion as we never play them any more but, if fans were around in the early 80's, they would know r**vers tried to finish us off and very nearly succeeded!

Go on then, what have we ever done to try to kill off BRFC? What have we ever stopped BRFC doing? You tried to kill us off in the early 80's by blocking a rescue grant from the council, hoping we would die so you could get your hands on our stadium (sound familiar?). You also tried to block the potential World cup host city to stop us getting Ashton Vale.The fact the city of Bristol would have made £Millions and we would have paid for the stadium ourselves was beyond your club as they apparently thought we were getting something for nothing. There's only 1 club in this city that sponges everything and it isn't city. Essentially r**ers have tried everything they can do to hold us back to make themselves look better. Unlucky, we've left you eons behind anyway! You might be a nice person but, personally, I detest your pointless little club, they absolutely disgust me! Rant over.

What is the frame of a tent if it isn't 'prefabricated metal'? Horse shit?

This is brilliant!

Purely devil's advocate post here but could it be that Clarke is just lowering fan expectations? It makes him look very good if he were to finish anywhere near the top 10 after all, regardless of what he's actually given to spend. Maybe he's being very clever? Nah, they're knackered aren't they?

Spot on PSR!

That I do agree with, it sounded bad from their point of view. Surely that makes HG's post a total 'head buried in the sand' post and total delusion rather than lies? I was expecting more trouble from him when I read your post TBH. No offence meant.

I don't see too much wrong there TBH Unan. Maybe a tad rose tinted but he believes in the fake Sheikh and is saying just that. I think he's wrong but he's having a pop at their own supporters, rather than us for a change.

I'm not sure they could afford to sack him, he's still got 3 years left on his contract I think. Say 2k a week, that's a £Tilson if they tried to get rid.

Was it 10 years Fiale, I thought it was 5? I do appreciate it was a tongue in cheek comment by the way.

To be fair, LJ did say we would be in the Euro league so we're not totally innocent of a bit of flannel ourselves.

Oh, go on then!

That would be because it IS sh**!

Judging by some of the comments on their forum, it would appear so. Clarke leaving would be the icing on the cake as he's the only thing holding that ? of ? together.

If they had lost to the gas-h I could understand it but wasn't it FC Eindhoven the scum beat? Just been promoted from the Dutch 3rd division. Blimey, if they had beaten PSV we would never hear the end of it!

Has anyone told the punkie bloke that the 70's have finished? Hang on, it's the gas. I'm only jealous as he has more hair than me.

That's about £30 a week after deducting the gas formula.

Ah of course, the tennis has finished hasn't it?

I would be more concerned that promises made to Clarke when he signed his deal ( training ground, investment, new stadium progress and so on) haven't been kept meaning he could bugger off any time. Luckily, I'm a City fan so couldn't give a monkeys chuff!

That home shirt is absolutely disgusting! Seems quite apt then.
