Apparently it's also the most read,most liked,most famous,biggest and has the most loyal following in the world.

It is also actually true that many get locked out!

There seems to be a back story to the strange anecdote, it was some in-joke lost on me.

Then someone else made up some crap about having Joe Jordan's face painted in the famous quarters and that he literally cried about it.  Presumably this was further demonstration of sag wit.

In amongst the nonsense there was a post about tortoises and hares, building a house with firm foundations, how one day they'll have greater attendances than us, the gap will be no more etc etc.  Apparently in our heart of hearts we know this is true.  Presumably this was a joke post lost on me as well but I couldn't tell for sure.  It may just have been serious.

Good signing for them. I assume that this means Wally is going to give him some pocket money so that he can get a few players.

Either that, or they fear he is about to get snapped up by someone else and they want to make sure they are well compensated.

I'm pretty damn sure it will be the latter and fair play to him really for ensuring his current gaseous mates get something for him, even if it is small change for his future club.

Looks more substantial than Wally`s Bedouin encampment.

Ahhh, was this the real reason for Wally buying in - his love of tents?

Then for a real laugh and delusion; http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/9974/bournemouth

So many similarities not least of all the managers style. Together anything is possible.

I just realised something watching this, it doesn't matter how much money you have in football, it is about the togetherness and that is what DC is achieving with us, team spirit, two promotions in two seasons, top ten finish, players proud to wear the shirt, good attacking football, playing for each other, a young up and coming manager with bright ideas. A proud football club. That is something they don't have over the dark side of Bristol and that's why they are so obsessed with us, it strikes me that they are envious and jealous of what DC is doing here. So we have to believe that we can do the same as Bournemouth, get behind the lads, even when it's not going right and we can succeed, pass them and be better than them. FTG

I'm at a bit of a loose end tonight, truth be told but that's brilliant! It has really lifted my spirits.

It's not just the gas logic - "we don't need money, we'll aim to emulate Bournemouth" (who spent a shed load of money, for any dear reader unaware).

It's also a really poorly constructed case: "togetherness....team spirit....playing for each other..., proud to wear the shirt....A proud football club" are all one in the same point.

"DC achieving.... being an up and coming manager with bright ideas" is point two. 

And then some excitement about winning a penalty shoot out against Grimsby to get back into the football league and then coming third in league 2.  I do not think we have come lower than 10th in League 1 in 20 odd years.

Then, just to blow anybody of an analylitical mind completely an utterly away, it is claimed we are for some reason jealous and obsessed with them.

The conclusion of the piece, by the orator's own admission is to believe that they can emulate Bournemouth and overtake us.

Well, ****king Hell!  

The post was obviously written by a 15y/o so really I'm being a bit harsh.  Still, it's been an amusing gift on a quiet Friday night in.

I`m sure I heard someone at Ashton Gate saying that they play in blue and white and they are a load of poo but could have misunderstood

Did they also happen to mention that Daryl Clarke's mother is a whore?

They're rotters; awful types.  

Well despite everything, they haven't got new batteries for the clock. I can't hear any #ticktock.

"Never been more than one division away from the sh*t" - that prowed fact went as well.

I remember one of their comebacks used to be that they have never been in Division 4 or bottom of the entire football league. 

"Never been in the first division, never been in the 4th division" I used to get when I was younger.  Like it was some sort of bragging point.  

Yes, I did enjoy having to edit the verbal history book on 2nd May 2001 to "Never been in the first division, errr....".  

There definately were teds there that night, btw

I wonder if gasholes laugh at Middlesbrough (1986 Ltd) as well.

Bunch of cretins.

Very good point.  Supporters of clubs like Blackburn, currently poorly run, receive sympathy and support from the wider football family.  

Rovers have spent the last 35 years attempting to make a mockery of football supporters for going through a similar ordeal.  Family club, eh? Pathetic.

Spot on.

All the more reason to use it, constantly.

No more calling them "gas", they love that.

They are also criticising us for spinning their own insult back on them, like they did with the gas head tag in the first place.  Unbelievable hypocrasy.  

The other thing is '15ers' is only one of a range of insults we have for them, I've never actually used it myself.  Of all the things we say and do to them, it's that that's struck a chord.  You're right, it's peed them off.

I suspect they will win 1-0, given the weekend's results.  Their motive for the win is about 1000% higher than ours (in non-sentimental, real terms).

And for boffs getting t watty about the '1000%', I mean 100/1000.

I'm pretty sure it's defunct unless someone else picked up the baton. I actually know the woman who used to run that fanzine in person - she's a very pleasant person incidentally and always got on well with her despite the rivalry.

However, she got fed up with the endless shenanigans at Rovers behind the scenes and no longer goes to watch them. She now follows AFC Wimbledon instead I believe.

I have AFC Wimbledon leanings, due to a friend of mine.  

I suppose she's switched then from a club with a bitter chip to a club of legitimate anger?  

Happy St Colin's Day !!  

Do they still publish their fanzine '2nd of May' or was that cancelled?

Its better than fiction, at times with that lot.  If I wrote it as a noval critics would be saying things like "nice idea, but too far fetched" and "ridiculous!".  "Where the xxxx did you get headbutting a mini bus from?" and "signing the player that sent you down?".  

No wonder they hate us but it's not our fault we have neighbours of such ineptitude.

As cringeworthy as the video of the Rovers 'lads' having a go at a minibus is, let's not pretend that doesn't happen at your place either.

I've not been on this thread for a while but am glad to see everyone's been as busy as ever.

It's comedy.  We have every other thread to deal with our stuff, it's therapeutic to have this place to make fun of yours.

Horse punching and now minibus headbutting, I just can't wait for the next Gas hoolie instalment.  Lamppost kicking, tree glassing?  

The concerning issue really is there's young Bristolians so in need of identity, acceptance, guidance, love that they are lead to head butt a minibus, but see? There's nothing funny in me adding that and this isn't the place for it.

Looks like they the hashtag they are pushing is #evolutionnotrevolution - really trying to hammer home that wally's not about to splash the cash:

Have just looked on that link and someone has quoted "If I'd asked people what they wanted they would've said faster horses" - Henry Ford.  

Not in R*vers' case they wouldn't, Henry.  Slower horses make for easier punching one would imagine, Henry.

I am bemused by comments on here, City lose 1 nil to an established Prem side, with a 12M centre forward scoring the goal. 4 days after City work their selves silly to beat league leaders Boro. Are people so completely out of touch with the real world ? Talk of players not being up to this level ? What Prem level ? We are 3rd from bottom of the Championship, not in the Prem. Players that are tired because we have a squad severely limited in options. I have been the first to say this season took a very early wrong turn in tactics and recruitment. But to read the comments here, anyone would think we had just spent 50M on the squad and should be competing perfectly with a Prem team. People want youth, then are surprised they are not match fit or street wise yet. Burns started his second game for the club, O'leary his starting debut. Madness. 

Now back to our relegation battle.

Well said.  We conducted ourselves as well as could be sensibly expected.  That was basically but not poorly.

How did Max do?

To be honest, he didn't have a great deal on his plate.

His kicking was a tad on the dodgy side and he didn't have much chance with the goal but the basics were covered competently.

No one would've known this was only his second professional appearance. 

My psychiatrist suggested I may be a compulsive lier.

She then gave me a blow job right there on the couch and I left.

I'm kind of old school in the sense of being City. 

Bristol R*vers, to be fair to them, have provided me with something money can't buy.

Long may real football exist!
