Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted January 25, 2014 Report Share Posted January 25, 2014 from a Newport fan on twitterDob ?@NathS456 27m The fact that Rovers' scoreboard kept giving updates of the Bristol City score embarrassing. Do they still do that?? If they do, don't they realise how utterly sad that makes them look to other clubs fans? Brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Agrred. And yet some of our fans constantly update City match threads with Rovers scores.

WTFiGO!?! Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 You mentioned obsession - but do you follow a lot of Newport fans on Twitter, or did you do a search to see what they were saying about Rovers? Again, slight difference researching for trouble at a Severnside derby, first sags-Newport derby played in Bristol since 1986 I think I saw, and having the whole club celebrating the fact you are losing, at the ground, whilst we are winning a Severnside derby. You get a wry cheer when the full times are announced, if you've lost, and that's about it. People are simply not that bothered. I can see why your officials do it though - to divert attention away from your own sorry course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In the Net Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 It was actually re-tweeted by a city fan who I follow numpty Of course it was ..... and he obviously always follows a lot of Newport fans on Twitter! By the way, I don't agree with putting the City score up during the match - info on any other teams should be kept to half-time and full-time scores, and even then the most important scores are the ones from which ever division we happen to be playing in.

alexukhc Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Good result for them, but Newport are on a bad run atm, plus selling their main striker to Peterborough last night, are we missing out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter O Hanraha-hanrahan Posted January 26, 2014 Report Share Posted January 26, 2014 Agrred. And yet some of our fans constantly update City match threads with Rovers scores. I think you would find that sort of thing on any clubs forum, very different to putting it on a scoreboard during the match. You might as well have the PA Announcer say "Hey everybody, don't worry about how we are doing in this game, here's something more important". I could understand it if it was at the end of the season and we were competing for promotion in the same division. Makes us look important. Cheers Gas.

Football fans talking about rival football fans on a forum....normal, happens on every forum. Football fans singing songs about their rivals during a match....normal, happens everywhere. The scoreboard thing....seems obsessive. Just my opinion but Newport fans obviously agree. Each to their own though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think that was Newport fans agreeing BTW, that would have been the City fans with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not exactly. Horace dapped out for a quick slug and beetle, and several hundred Rovers fans ran away in panic screaming "IT'S SPIKY! THE *****LES, THE *****LES!!"
