pongo88 Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I have to say I'm a little sad due to the fact a family friend has worked in the rovers shop kingswood for 25+ years and even though her and her family give me shit for being city over the few years I have known them the risk of her losing her job took the shine of the relegation a littleIt's a good point that when teams get relegated it usually means that some people get the sack. It's people like the manager who get the publicity but it's the "innocent" who suffer the most - e g the people who work in the shop. The same happened to City in recent years - long serving people in the commercial / ticket depts got the boot. This still doesn't make me feel sorry for Rovers, because if they had managed to avoid relegation, people at Wycombe or Northampton would have been affected instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichaelRobartes Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I feel sorry for the manager because he had a very tough situation forced on him with little or no (I think?) experience of managing in the football league. Bizarre way to run a club. It is still hilarious though, and will no doubt continue to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Rob Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 I had a rubbish morning in work today, everything was going wrong and people were getting frustrated. Thankfully, I managed to galvanise the team by suggesting we took a break from what we were doing and instead took stock of the situation and thought of those less fortunate. Thanks to 'Mike' who called Twentyman on Saturday (him of the Thatcher years, two divorces and all manner of other issues) I believe myself and the team all now owe Richard Curtis a fiver. It was far more entertaining than the usual 'Red Nose Day' goings on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich-TWSC- Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 It's not an issue that you lot have to worry about but the notion of losing Football League status before hitting 100 straight years is a new football supporting fear of mine. Thanks Gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was far more entertaining than the usual 'Red Nose Day' goings on. I work and live in Lincolnshire, yet at lunchtime today played "Mikes" call to Twentyman and the "Hitler Gas" video to my colleagues. They were in absolute stitches and its already been agreed we are all going to the Grimsby v NLBR game next season just so we can sit near the Sags and give them shit.

cidersnotjustforbreakfast Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I have about the same level of sympathy for them as they have for anything bad that's ever happened to us, I know two wrongs don't make a right, but in their case I am willing to make an exception.

haggis_farewell Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 I did feel bad for them briefly today when I saw how many players they have had to let go. It must be disappointing to be a saghead when several players have left with no prospect of getting anyone new in. However I did hear an exciting transfer rumour today that should get them feeling a little better. Apparently they have been linked to a new groundsman - they are looking to sign the groundsman at Bath racecourse because apparently he's brilliant at getting hoof prints out of fields. .

RedZepperin Posted May 8, 2014 Report Share Posted May 8, 2014 To put things into perspective: football is a game. You win, you celebrate, you lose, you get on with defeat. Rovers were apparently absolutely awful last year and even their fans admit they were not good enough to stay in the football league. Therefore: make way for a better team, behave yourselves and get on with it. All this feeling sorry for themselves, wishing their dogs would die instead and punching horses is a load of bollocks. And now we've been asked to join in as well? Certainly not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running Man Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I liken it to how I feel about my Mother in Law, awful woman that I hated with a passion until she became terminally ill, then I sort of started to feel a bit sorry for her, last month I actually sent her a birthday card and will probably go to her funeral and shed a tear.

numbeast Posted May 9, 2014 Report Share Posted May 9, 2014 I've always felt sorry for them, like you'd be sympathetic to a 3 legged dog just before you tied the sack with it and a few bricks in it and bunged it into the river. Though saying that I'd probably take the dog to the vets for treatment whereas I'd take a Gas head there to have the old neutering done to stop the City being overrun with unwanted strays.

Don't give them ideas, the few dogs that haven't been murdered by their Gashead owners since Saturday will end up sleeping with the fishes.
