Aizoon Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 i'm sorry but that is a total generalisation of the facts, a lot of players have played for both clubs and have always been held in regard by both sets of fans, from a BCFC perspective and off of the top of my head Ray Cashley, Donnie Gilles, Terry Cooper, Peter Hooper, Trevor Morgan, Brian Williams and probably Peter Aitken. For me it's about attitude if players cross from the gas to BCFC as long as they a) don't or haven't slagged us off and b) put in 100% whilst playing for us I haven't got a problem and nor have a huge majority of BCFC fans, but several others like Marcus Stewart, Danny Coles and Steve Phillips are not so fondly recalled.

Aizoon Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I am more City than is good for me, but then again I moved from Bristol some years ago, so not burdened by petty City vs Rovers rivalry involving 'hating' someone who is ex Rovers. Sad really all this hate business, and it does get in the way of making sensible reasoned comments about another person. I am sure some of your family/ freinds are Gas, and you might even like one or two, would that make you any less of a City supporter? No it wouldn't , same with me. Yes, but would you let your daughter marry one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garlicbread Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 He is pond life. That he played for and managed Rovers, and hates us just adds to that fact. He is the scrapings out of my boot tread. Pond life? Blimey, you need to get a little perspective Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esmond Million's Bung Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Peter Beadle!!!!!! Not a great player but always put in a shift and for scoring 2 against the gas in a 3-2 win will mean he is generally held in high regard. 3 more I thought of Keith Curle, Trevor Jacobs and Robbie Turner.

I'm guessing you haven't so no worries. I havent. Pond life denotes that he couldnt be any worse as an individual. What did he do that denotes him as the lowest in society? I would describe the likes of Charles Manson, Jon Venebles, Josef Fritzl, Ian Huntley etc as pond life...an alumnus of a rival football club?

Aizoon Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Yep Barrie Meyer, beast of a centre forward, also played cricket for Glos I believe. And an international Test umpire. His autobiography "Getting it right" is well worth a read. I remember his debut with the Glos and with City and his last ever game for us when he and Shadow Williams both scored hat-tricks.

eskay Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Holloway is a prize chump, the media have made him into a cheeky chappy and so he thinks that every cringe worthy attempt at comedy he makes is funny.

Admin Ian M Posted February 11, 2013 Admin Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Exactly this...and as for the line 'but he's from Bristol' so fkin what!! Doh!!! cuz he aint a plastic Man U fan or summat, he is a Bristol lad, and he sounds like he's from Bristol, and you sound as though you need to get yer 'ead out your arse. Are you advocating disliking someone because of the team they support? That would appear slightly hypocritical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poland_red Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 says a lot what's happened to city and this forum - bloke comes on to poke fun at someone who is born and bred gas and gets an earful himself.
