TheReds

From what I can remember I am sure the interviewer asked Al Quidi "why buy Bristol Rovers when you could have bought any club in the Prem" (following the billionaire myth), and he replied "not all of them" and then laughed, as if to say he could have bought most of them. I wouldn't be surprised if the video is on this thread.

The post was about local players and developing them, having them for years in most cases. Not loans from higher up the pyramid.

I didn't realise you were only discussing the developing of our own players, Your comment said the following "Gold star for the club South of the river, who's enormous losses are bankrolled by their billionaire owner " So you are only saying we have had our owner bankrolling the development of our own players, and nothing else whatsoever - and from this he has had enormous losses? The only "enormous losses" you mention is from the whole club as far as I am aware, but please do tell me something I obviously do not know? If that's is the case then how much have we lost from this bankrolled project in developing our own players? Asking how much Wael has put in is just trying to show that he isn't making any profit, and what does he have to show for it. Our "enormous losses" against your losses, assets, infrastructure etc would maybe show that we are nowhere near as bad as what most Rovers fans want to think, and what the poor rosy face lady garden has squandered away. Most of your post seems to have nothing to do with anything I have asked or mentioned. But as you mention he has never said he was a Billionaire etc, and everything seems to be the BPs faults, didn't he quite happily said he could have bought most of the Premier League clubs when interviewed and he was asked why he chose your mob?

One thing I have never understood with these types of comments is they never mention any assets or infrastructure? How much has Lansdown put in? How much is everything worth as it stands - including training facilities, academy, players, the planning granted for the future, how much once all of that is finished? Now how much has Wael put in so far? How much are all of your assets worth?

He just don't want those daughters to have a Bristolian accent, but he's plumped for a Wolverhampton one instead....

Those Fulham goals should be played on loop to potential buyers...

Well done, but you quoted a strikers goal stats so I did the same, now you move the goalposts to "but, but, but........" Nice that you acknowledge that it never worked out for him at Rovers, along with some other player, but when anyone says the same about Stewart here with the same reasoning then it's all Johnsons fault...

How did the prolific Tom Nichols do for you? Wasn't he up there with you paying close to a club record fee for him too? According to Wikipedia he scored a whopping 4 goals in 94 games for your lot - isn't that the same sort of stats as good old Bas.

Well done on naming 4 previous players who sometimes manage to attend games (they probably attend more than the "we'll watch them from the pavements" mob I guess judging by your attendances), and then well done claiming some other stuff up about other former players - when exactly did these players leave us? Maybe you should stop living in the past, but then again I don't think the future is worth looking forward to when it comes to the poor old Saggies. Aaron Collins will buy into leaving at the first opportunity, I expect he won't be going for anything less than £10 million though. Are you actually "Flapper" yourself? You seem obsessed with a former player for us (of all clubs) who couldn't take criticism and was rightfully dropped, and lost his place to a far better keeper. Do you want a list of former City players who manage to make it to our games as well for a bit of balance as I am sure many can be named on here? As I really am unsure why you seem to type all of your nonsense out as it's some sort of "gotcha" moment - it really isn't, and is just showing yourself up. You must be really living the dream, spending the last couple of weeks on a fans forum of a club you despise, whilst even watching our games (wow), and claiming all sorts of weird stories that nobody else has heard of. Ps - I'm glad nobody has ever been thrown under the bus by the lovely Joey, sent back to their club or publicly named in interviews for being awful, I mean nobody would ever fall out with such a lovely man...... Bloody Johnson causing all that trouble at Bristol City....

As it has already been pointed out, the bloke was just bitter and deluded who thought he was the number 1 and should never be dropped. Imagine my shock that he had no great affection for the club he played for - you do realise that there will be many players at every club in the land who are in the same situation who have no affection to the club they play for? I wonder how many players have actual affection for the tinpot outfit associated with your lot? Everything done on the cheap, ground is an absolute state and falling apart, training facilities, Santas Grotto, Fanzone etc etc, and to top it off it's ran by another liar who happily let people believe he was some sort of billionaire, he could somehow have bought clubs in the Premier League but chose your lot (after trying to buy Mansfield first wasn't it) and he would get you a new stadium. Instead you put out actual news stories to tell people you've had some carpets cleaned and "installed" more new stands that were bought from Go Outdoors. Then you actually carry this bloke down Gloucester Road like he's some sort of Messiah to show the World exactly how pathetic you are. Still, at least you beat us 30 years ago out Twerton or something, and some ex player from years ago doesn't have affection for us. Maybe look what you've actually achieved in those 30 years, a stolen Stadium that is falling apart with tents for stands and not got a pot to piss in, and a record spending fee on a player some 30 years ago. And you probably still wonder why this thread exists, self awareness maybe isn't your strong point is it.

If he was that was awful, but it's the first time I have heard that. We even gave his address out on the internet so people could go to his family home and attack him, his house and his family, and we had fans trying to get to him when he played a game at our ground, sang songs about having a party when he's dead, the list goes on and on......Sorry that was your lot with the lovely Matty Taylor wasn't it (unsure why anyone would be unhappy with getting your club the £10 million fee he was worth.... oh wait a minute)... People in glass houses and all that... Ps - how are we "mildly" less crap than you? The delusion of many of your fans is quite amazing.

Why not start one on your own fans forum about us, pretty simple stuff? Lack of your own fans on there? Lack of intelligence on there? Thread won't be very long due to your own failings as a club? Anyway, what a weird way to spend a week of your life. Pretending to be a fan of a club you probably hate, just so you can try and wind up some fans of that club on an anonymous internet forum, actually watch their game against Birmingham on a Saturday afternoon rather than watch your own team (didn't miss much as they got schooled by the mighty Accrington). Very odd behaviour, but not really a surprise when it comes to the envious blue few. What is the capacity of your promised new shiny Fruit Bowl stadium - asking for a friend?

He never endured them last week either as he spent the afternoon watching us, and commenting on the Brum match thread. As per usual the biggest game of the week for a lot of Saggies is ours - today will be no different.

Of course, my bad.

I used this last week for Heathrow airport for 8 days. Heathrow wanted £170+, I then looked at some companies that meet you at the drop off point and take your car a few miles away to their place and drop it back when you land, and that was about £92 (few dodgy reviews of high mileage on the clock and long waits when you land). I then looked at this and got the same 8 days for £45, and the person will do airport transfers too, plus it's less than a mile away anyway so no issue if they couldn't do that.

More to the point, why were you watching our Birmingham game? It seems that way going by your posting on the Birmingham match thread. Why didn't you watch your own team who have a fantastic manager and owner?

What was with Saint Joey walking off before the end of the match yesterday? Is it another "look at me" type action from him? Seems very bizarre, selfish and a bit disrespectful to everyone involved, but there doesn't seem to be any outrage for it (no questions from the interviewer after either, was he scared to ask)?

You'd hope the likes of Guernsey would be getting something when he goes, even if it isn't in any contract.

Why the childish condescending response? It is just your opinion though and you constantly state things as fact (I actually agree that he will go to the top myself, but nobody actually knows as he hasn't been there). To actually back up my point you then put a laughing reaction to someone who has the nerve to state he hasn't been there so you don't know. You either don't realise how you are coming across in multiple match threads and statements about players, or you actually do, and believe you know absolutely everything, and know more than anyone else, and any other opinions are automatically wrong, stupid, thick, clueless etc etc.

Why do you constantly make comments and claims that come across that you know absolutely everything, and anyone else who doesn't seem to agree are somehow stupid or haven't got a clue, don't know what they are watching etc etc? It seems to be a running theme on match threads and comments about multiple players from yourself. I actually reckon he will go to the top, but he could go to the Prem and literally down tools once the ridiculous money starts rolling in. he may actually not be quite good enough to make it to the very top. Nobody actually knows how good he will be yet, if they did wouldn't he be worth a lot more. He is being priced on the huge potential he is showing at his age, that doesn't mean he will be the next Grealish etc (even though the signs are there).

Lucky for them they do, as they've also let in 43, only Burton and Forest Green have conceded more in their League

Yes, There are multiple posts of yours on here. Many were brought up previously which you then said you forgot you posted them.

It wasn't, but I'd expect the stats used are using the same rules (betting companies use Opta). What was also quoted from the FA regarding shots on target on here are pretty much what I posted. Therefore as far as stats and the rules go, Millwall never had a shot on target, which is why the BBC, Livescore, Flashscore and Sky etc etc also say they never had one on target.

On target shots for betting purposes are only on target if saved by the keeper or a goal. The shot that Atkinson blocked is just that, a blocked shot and not recorded as a shot on target - unless he is considered the last man

Whenever I see anything they have done at their Stadium place "for the fans", from the fan zone to the singers stage to the portaloos to Santas grotto I automatically think of Phoenix Nights Fun Day:
