Gash lose on penalties - never mind eh.

Former Rovers fanzine editor now an AFC Wimbledon supporter, got disillusioned during the Higgs era. Would’ve thought they’d come sprinting back now they are such a well-run outfit under Wael...

You can also stage your Hen (-Bury Gas) Party there - and no worries if nothing outrageous happens during the party, he will happily make up a pack of lies for you.

The latest semi-literate gibberish from the scum’s website: “With most of the Gas up for an attack, when the ball was hit over the top, Edwards alert to chase it down and head towards goal. When he reached Jaakkola, he acted with calmness, placing it between the Fin's legs and crushing Rovers' hopes.”

Believe it or not even the Gash get respectable attendances compared to clubs like Dundee, St Johnstone, Hamilton. Much bigger catchment area though so it’s still pathetic.

Ah, I see, it all makes sense now - the “10” they awarded themselves was on the Dennis Nilsen measurement scale. Meanwhile, the Gash venture to Burton tomorrow yet to pick up a point or score a goal on their travels - they’ll really need to pull their Bristol Sport socks up.

My missus saw me staring intently at this pic with my mouth wide open and is asking questions - I hope she bought my explanation...

No, no, no - 10 WAS the crowd.

Gas Don’t Go To Games...

Looks like this gobbledygook is a regular occurrence. From the Wycombe report:- “The crowd believed the home side for a fraction of a second as Liam Sercombe flashed a brilliant right-footed free-kick on goal from around 25 yards out. Hit with phenomenal pace, the keeper could only watch thankfully as the strike flew whiskers wide of his right post.”

You might match their crowd Saturday at a pinch.

Only if you draw Bury and Bolton in rounds one and two...

City bought your best player three years ago; the same City you’ve been telling us you are “coming for us” for 20 years.

Yep - check the match report out for yourself on their site. Truly bizarre stuff!

Congrats - you can add that to your FA Trophy first round runners up medal in your bulging trophy cabinet. Which non-league side is going to humiliate you at the Pisspoorial in the FA Cup this year?

From your own website: “Then, from Tom Nichols’ well-guided pass to the right flank, Josh Hare whipped in a cross which Adeboyejo was perfectly positioned to convert, only to be denied by a brilliant intervention by Adam Webster.”

Whoever writes the Scum’s match reports is on some very strong drugs. A sampling: “Rovers were…not plucky. We will not say plucky. That word conjures thoughts of trying hard with little quality. This was not the case. The side two divisions inferior showed genuine ability, time and again, and displayed intent to win the tie. Perhaps, ultimately, it was their downfall. But golly, the attempt was a valiant one.” “Eight minutes into the game, there was a minor concern over a Rovers player, who took a ball full in the face from close range. One wonders if the shout came…”’Ed Up, Son”.” “”VAR, VAR, VAR…” chanted the large contingent of Brighton fans taking up the South Stand. We are happy with our new big screen, Seagulls, but this is The Mem. Cool kit launch videos we can do, but VAR is not quite our responsibility yet.” “there was not much to separate Pirates and Seagulls -let’s face it, both of them would nick your chips” “Then, from Tom Nichols’ well-guided pass to the right flank, Josh Hare whipped in a cross which Adeboyejo was perfectly positioned to convert, only to be denied by a brilliant intervention by Adam Webster.” <Webster obviously intimidated by the Whorefield Ultras... ? > “Rover launched one final flurry...” <He’s come out of his shell since Darrell left...> “Cup chances, gone for a Burton. But a trip to Britain’s brewing capital will see Gasheads with glasses at least three-quarters full.” ...unlike their stadium.

Good point - not to go off topic but although the pyramid is excellent in theory the reality is unless you’ve got a sugar daddy going from the very bottom into the EFL is a bit of a daydream sadly.

“Should this happen, Bury’s record from the 2019/20 season would be expunged with League One consisting of 23 Clubs for the remainder of the campaign and the number of relegation places reduced to three at the conclusion of 2019/20 season. Four promotion places would remain from League Two ensuring a full complement of 24 teams in League One in 2020/21.” Assume this would be the case should Bolton follow them into the abyss (two down, four up). Somewhere down the pyramid though there’d have to be no relegation wouldn’’t there to ensure each division had the full complement of teams? Perhaps I’m thinking about this too hard.

Duane Sports a Bloody Nose...

“The Gas Collective”? Is that like the Urban Cookie Collective? A long forgotten band who are also still dining out on a flash in the pan in the 1990s.

I remember the bring and buy sales from Blue Peter. Sadly Blue Peter changed his colour to red and scored against the Gas in the last league derby to date at AG in Dec 2000.

Following their goalless start to the season, a shock new survey reveals most Gash fans are no longer interested in spending a good night with Irene. Most of them would settle for being on nodding terms with Annette.

That’s worse

Poor Gash, must hurt to lose the “Bobby Gould Derby” or the “Nicky Platnauer Derby” or the “Nomadic Blue Cockroaches” Derby.
