Looks like something Evel Knievel would wear on his day off.

No sympathy at all, keep off the pitch. See you again when you're 38 and grown up a bit.

Same here. It all feels a bit self indulgent to me.

Arctic Monkeys not doing much for me. Should have stuck them on in the afternoon, dull.

If the Mangotsfield one went through I'd be able to see it from my house, imagine that ! Anyway I did my part and got behind the "Support the Rovers move to Mansfield" campaign. Did the job.

Had Umbro T-Shirt with the diagonal strip across it.

Maybe the question should be, who's the biggest club to have done bugger all since forever. I can't believe anyone's challenging us for that. Luton have done the complete cycle. They were top flight when I was a teenager, had their bad years and now top flight again now I'm in my 50's. Clubs that get themselves into terrible financial trouble, dust themselves down and just go sailing past us again. Why do we never achieve anything?

Think it was John Halls. My dad used to drive an articulated lorry for them in the late 60s delivering Brolac paint. He once left his mark in Sidmouth while reversing around a tight corner. The mark is visible to this day !

He's certainly done a good job so far and I hope it continues. As for the Championship, 3 teams always come up and 3 always come down. I can't see why the teams coming up would be better than us. If Southampton/Leicester/Leeds are that strong they can take the top 3 places. We can concentrate on moving from 14th up to 6th-8th, hopefully.

Lots of games where I felt frustrated for an hour or two afterwards, but then that bigger picture feeling kicked in. Most areas of the pitch have improved. The fitness and ability is there, just a bit more nous is needed. The younger players will be another year older, the new players we've brought in will be a bit more integrated, even more new players will come in. In many ways this felt like the season before something big. I really hope so.

Heard Tom Petty's Running Down a Dream on the radio the other and forgot just how good it was, certainly got some dust off the speakers. They followed it up with ZZ Tops cover of Viva Las Vegas, a pretty damn good 10 minutes !

Would we be good if those actors came in and formed a holding company called Ocean's Eleven. I must say I'm looking forward to the One Show coverage when Boreham Wood go up via the play-offs !

I hope this is true. The free shirt with a kids season ticket has been way too small. I always end up buying adult shirts for my two boys.

Well Happy Birthday !

We need some kind of Stretford end counter at Ashton Gate. Each year just turn it over again.

May 2nd 2001. Wycombe sent Bristol Rovers hurtling into the Third Division with a 2-1 victory at The Memorial Stadium. I was there that night in 1990. The date came back to bite them on the arse though. May 2nd 2001, the last day that Bristol Rovers were in the same division as Bristol City. Happy May 2nd everyone !

It may be an odd phrase, but I don't think that alone is conclusive proof of unconscious bias. If he had a history of these "mishaps" (I don't know if he has) then I think that would be different.

Was it unconscious bias? If it was a different player involved he may well have said the same thing. Was it just an unfortunate turn of phrase made in a split second, that every one of us has done at some point? An unfortunate perfect storm situation rather then an unconscious but premeditated thought.

St Johns Lane looks a bit more substantial on that map. It could just be a quirk of the map, but Ashton Gate looks like it's in a slightly different location to what we have today, though the stand indicated on the map looks like the same a shape as the one that pre-dated the Dolman. If it was also a cricket ground it was presumably 3 sided ?

I liked the bit at the end when he said his priority was to get players in and ready by the time the players come back from the break. Sounds like there's business ready to go nice and early. We've done well in the past when we we've got players in early. I thought it was a case of we buy, once we've sold Scott. Sounds more like we buy, and if we sell Scott we buy a bit more.

Hopefully we'll be one of the teams making it tougher.

Mr Miyagi?

They could nip down the road and buy it at Ikea

Agree with this. Though I'd like to see us in and around the top 10 all season with a chance of top 6, not just sneaking 10th at the end.

Looks like the Bath & West Showground.
