Markman Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 throughout this rather mad show Danny decides to expose Gas Heads as Notorious Liars of whom you cannot believe a word - quite funny if sat at your PC at work and can "listen again" - just stick with it :tounge: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinapig Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Heard it at the time and it is very funny. Just before and after the 10.30 news (as was). The whole show is a breath of fresh air every week as it focuses on the ridiculous side of football instead of an endless stream of fans announcing how their Manager has lost the plot/is tactically naive.

So true - week ago he did "getting your ball back from miserable neighbours" and things you hate about football when you were kids - like goals with no nets so that when someone scores some poor sap has to walk miles to get the ball only for it to be hoofed miles away again staight away - brings some great memories back!!

Markman Posted January 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 there is also some weird bit about Gary Neville wearing Marigolds to handle his Maggots when fishing - Danny is incredulous at footballers in Marigolds - he needs a visit from the Yellow Subbers!

slartibartfast Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Can't get it at work, what's the gist? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Percy Parrot Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Around 28-30 mins if you're looking for it. I listened up until then and much as it was amusing I enjoyed picking up on Baker's mistakes/things can be argued. - Sarawak (where Gasheads are born) is not an island, it is on the island of Borneo. - Barcelona can be pronounced Barcelona and not Barthelona. The 'th' sound is only if you are Castilian. Catalans pronounce it much the same as us. - Iain Dowie, similar to Shaka Hislop I believe he has a degree in engineering, worked for British Aerospace and has some rocket science knowledge. Despite Baker's comments I am fairly sure engineering is a damn tough degree - but I don't really know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Ian M Posted January 26, 2009 Admin Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Can't get it at work, what's the gist? It started off after an accusation that Cowdenbeath didn't really exist and their results were an in-joke by the press. A Rovers fan told a tale of a pre-season visit where they got invited into the Cowdenbeath directors' box. Danny said it was a wonderful story but as it was told by a Bristol Rovers fan, the most notoriously slippery club in the land, it negates the whole entire missive. "The air they breathe, the must tell tall tales. If you ask any Rovers fan where they were born they will say "I were born on the island of Sarowak". You cannot get a straight answer from a Bristol Rovers supporter." "Mark are you a Bristol Rovers supporter? I hate to say it but they're shocking liars. I've known 3 Bristol Rovers supporters intimately, shocking liars!" "Look at my Wikipedia page...Danny Frederick Baker, I'm not called Frederick, I've never been called Frederick in my life! Wikipedia? They might as well just call it Bristol Rovers!" "I've quite rightly identified all Bristol Rovers supporters as notorious liars. We want an accurate two word description of every club in the country by the end of the season, so Bristol Rovers, notorious liars. That sort of thing."

slartibartfast Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 Goes back to the 60's when their players took bungs to pull a game. Who in their right mind these days would give them a wedge to lose, it comes naturally ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenun Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 The most notoriously slippery club in the land, classic, couldn't of put it better myself "The air they breathe, they must tell tall tales." At last! The conspiracy is revealed. Hey, I've got an idea. Whenever a supporter from you know who comes on this forum, why don't we pretend their team don't exist. "Sorry mate, but Bristol Rovers don't exist. Have you ever seen Jacob's Ladder? Straight up fella, it's all to do with that Agent Orange they sprayed around in 'Nam. Yeah, Chelt nam. No don't worry, you'll get over it mate. Laters." Bristol Rovers don't exist. Shall we keep repeating it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like they should play in Bristol but clearly this very web domain shows they can't do as we all know there is only one team in Bristol.

Well I can't vouch for Bristol Rovers or their supporters obviously, but having read a wonderful book about Cowdenbeath called "Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil" I can certainly vouch for them. They have undoubtedly the most chequered past of any team in the isles. So broke at one stage that they needed to sell their top scorer to a team in the Scottish Highland league! Perhaps I should give Danny a ring next week and tell him all about them. He did once read an email of mine on his Radio London show on a non-football subject, so I obviously have connections.
