pikeysrobins Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Quoting the BBC text commentary....'Spare a thought for Birmingham, Bristol Rovers and Crawley. Those three were drawn at home against the winner of this teatime clash in the fourth round.With due respect to Swansea, they will have spent a couple of hours dreaming of entertaining the biggest guns in the domestic game.'Here is a thought I have spare...........HA! HA! HA!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFiGO!?! Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 About as exciting as it gets for them, eh? Due to piss-poor weather, they got to stay in the cup that little bit longer, albeit in the second round. A couple of hours of playing the 'IF my aunt had bollox' game later, the dream is over. Might as well concentrate on the league now and, ahem, I suspect they will be cheering Watford all the more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 In 1963 we drew our 3rd round cup-tie against Villa on the 6th January, and the replay in March. There we teams that had reached the quarter-finals while others hadn't completed their 3rd round ties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East End Old Boy Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Not that I think they will make Round 4 anyway can't understand why any Bristol football fan would not want to a top team in Bristol, irrespective of who you might support, but there you go small minds small club mentality , petty rivalries, all add up to one thing why Bristol is off the football radar .Ha ha, looks like we have a passivisit!

Also, the footballing minnows that are Tottenham and Arsenal didn't seem like best bum-chums yesterday. Swansea and FKA Cardiff City are both top flight clubs at the moment, as well. I think the word 'hate' is reasonable regarding those two. Ever been to Glasgow? The North East? No footballing backwater. Kinda undermines your argument a tad, fella.

Football rivalry isn't exclusive to Bristol and is not the reason why we have two relatively unsuccessful teams. Gasheads didn't want us to get promoted to the Prem in 2008 and if the tables were turned I wouldn't want them to get promoted either. It would be exactly the same in the North East, Manchester, North London etc yet those areas can produce well supported, successful teams. As you say, it undermines the arguments you often get posted on here about how if we don't get behind Rovers new ground or if we would be happy to see them drop out of the league then somehow we are contributing to Bristols status as a footballing backwater.
