Just when you were starting to believe, you get reminded you're Bristol City.

How busy was their ‘keeper - how many shots did he save? None is the answer.

One wonders sometimes why you say the things you do. And with such conviction.

I was there too. Far from our best performance, but the desire was there, the industry was there. We did more than Hull in that game and probably deserved to win it.

City's shots on target:

Adebola 5

Noble 50

McIndoe 56

Trundle 73

McIndoe 74

Byfield 90

Adebola 95

Trundle 85

I remember the rumour that back in 2013 we were looking at a young Harry Kane at Tottenham, with a view to bringing him in on loan. Have no idea if true.

"Bolton desperately need to consolidate…something Bristol City have done over the last two and a half seasons. They look now to be a comfortable side in the First Division rather than a struggling one."

Wait a year John, wait a year..

Nope.

Lost 2-1 in 1990, we didn’t play there again until 1993, when we won 1-0.

Hadn’t won there 2-0 since until last season.

Incorrect

I just looked it up. Bristol City 2-0 West Bromwich Albion, February 2nd 1991, Barclays League Division Two. I had thought it was in January right after the new year, but that's definitely the game I remember.

Remember playing West Brom in the snow but in 1991 if memory serves. Game was played with an orange ball, and I'm quite sure we won 2-0.

Not our player anymore, so personally I don't care

Don't know if anyone else will remember this (that or my memory's faulty) but there used to be a football game way back in the day on the ZX Spectum+.

I used to play it with my mate who it belonged to. What griped us about it was that every English club was featured in that game, including Rovers, except Bristol City. City was was left out, nowhere to be found. Me and my mate were convinced the developers of that pretty crappy game were Rovers fans, it was the only explanation! Can't remember the name of that game, but it was around 1986.

“We’ve got our staydiyum we’ve got our staydiyum” 

After the game they were practically claiming a victory because they only lost 2-1 ignoring the fact that we were dross at the time ourselves.

”see yew nex year SHITHEADS” they proudly posted on Facebook…. 
How did that go d1ckheads?

Oh, they've been saying the same thing for rather a long time. Far longer than ten years...

EASTVILLE Stadium Could become the West's Biggest Sports Centre...

..."There are 19½ acres of ground here [said Douglas Milne, Rovers' Director]. We could build a hall of sport, a running track and a multi-storey car park, and the stadium could cater for many sporting interests...not just soccer and greyhound racing. It could be a little White City..."

And that from 1965!

58 years and counting now...

Same size as Atyeo

Coming soon, the Family Stand.

Late to the party, didn't realise it was early kickoff. Great performance by sounds of it though, and a pleasing 3pts on the road!

COYR

Proof of plasticity comes in the shape of Man U tops dominating 20 years ago. Saw kids all over the place proudly wearing their kit. Now it's Man City. They're the big boys now. So naturally saw a kid outside the chippy the other night decked out in full Man City colours, shorts and socks included. I see those sky-blues colours frequently now.

As Russel85 said, I'd rather see a Rovers top than Man City, Arsenal, or Chelsea.

For yet more limbs..

Great result! Last minute winner brightens up any day.

COYR!

C'mon Lady Luck, give us a break.

Don't say 'a break', that could mean someone's leg!

I swear, that b!tch lady luck has hated us since 1980.

Remember everyone:

9 substitutes named on the bench.

5 can be used.

3 opportunities to make subs during play.

Subs can also be made at half-time.

Special rules around concussions.

And also new added on time rules.

Think it will mean Final scores probably won't come in now till 5pm - maybe even later than 5pm if first halves run extra long. Not sure if I'm going to like this new rule or not. It's going to shred nerves if nothing else.

When you say “Once again” - since when? 

They were the most successful team in Bristol -- in 1955-56 for about eight minutes when they finished 6th in the old Div Two and we finished 11th.

Another one to add to the list. Should be a top ten candidate if you ask me!

Out of curiosity, what makes a computer super?

Hundreds of millions of dollars./pounds.

Super-computers are used for crunching huge numbers at the petaFLOP level (that's floating point operations per second). An example of their application is quantum mechanics and climate modelling, which involve a huge array of complex calculations.

All that's being done here is predicting scores of a football match. The scores are being randomly generated, that's all. This has probably been copied over from a Football Manager game, and done on a PC in his bedroom. A bit of fun perhaps but it means nothing.

I love that it said several fans wrote in…… several  of their tens upon tens of thousands…

Maybe all the rest were locked out of the post office.

I was recently down the pub with a gas head mate and after a few pints the nonsense started coming out (from a usually sound mind) claims of “the only thing city have over rovers is the stadium” “tilson isn’t their record signing” apparently they broke that record at some point since 2000. “Wael has money, but doesn’t want to waste it and spends it wisely. They’re not in hardly any debt as Wael does what lansdown does and coverts it to shares”. “They’re building the club up behind the scenes and will be in the championship soon” and finally once they get “their” new stadium what are city gonna do then as rovers will be equal and challenging them. I asked about the free stadium and the response was, it’s all made up be jealous city fans and the sale of the cabbage patch with Waels millions will they will self fund the stadium. 

Witnessed this fascinating phenomenon myself. I think it can be summed up thusly:

If our away kit is blue and has the splat robin I'd be lost for words to be honest. Both would be a massive departure from what and who we are.

Whoever's in charge of this bloody shambles needs a stiff talking to.

Fondly remember the Gloucester Cup.

Perhaps if they brought that back under the auspices of as a pre-season "friendly", that'd be a useful run out. Would kick up some fanfare too, and nice revenue for both clubs. Can't imagine the police would be keen on the idea though, and thinking again, the fewers would hate it too given the fact they'd - more than likely - get a hiding.

I'd be all for that.

The 4-1 you mention was actually my first ever derby, I think Gordon Fearnley put us 1 up in a strong wind and it was one way traffic in the second half.

Pedantic Gas

Would be remiss of me not to drop in this little reminder...

Usually, I find blue in our kit objectionable training gear or otherwise...but this black/cyan combo cropped up in the video, and forgetting the antithetical overtones for a minute saw the makings of a pretty smart away kit - if they based one on this. Lose the 'splat robin' but I don't hate this:
