TRL Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 Just now, sticks 1969 said: you could name all the rovers team back then, i would not know more then 2 now thats how big the gap is Aye that's very true.. I guess thats what happens when you have a proper rivalry when you are in the same division. I could probably name 8 or 9 of their 89 team now without looking it up. Where as now i can probably name 2 or 3 at best. Harrison Bodin and haha i dont know his name but the beardy one. After that I haven't a clue, I'd probably recognise names from hearing them mentioned on Radio Bristol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticks 1969 Posted December 4, 2017 Report Share Posted December 4, 2017 i think thats one the reasons that season was so good, going toe to toe with them every week until that tragic night in may. still have the ticket in a drawer somewhere .

We just went for it through the Heddlu and managed to get back to the car. Foot down and didn`t stop for anything until we got back to the M4. I think the rousing chorus of "and now you're gonna belieeeve ussssss.....the Welsh are ****ing sh1t" touched a nerve, locally. Don't recall any bother after the game. Only remember stopping somewhere near Cardiff for a pint of Brains. What a nice pint that was.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately Bob was all or nothing. When his confidence went his whole game went. For some reason he just could not re-discover his form. In hindsight we should have stuck with him, but at the time he had not proved he could cut it at a higher level In a season and a half and before hand at Leeds. Obviously the wrong decision but I am guessing when you are looking for money to purchase the Polish George Best (some think a great player some think massive waste of time) a snap decision is made. For me Bob on form had no equal in my time going to the gate, but Bob off form was Brian Mitchellesque. Still my hero though and wish we had kept him.

BanburyRed Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 4 hours ago, TRL said: It the only season i can remember when you turned up and expected to dominate and win every game. When we lost it came as a huge shock. It was a complete team, that got very lucky with injuries apart from Super Bob at the end of the season. How the Gas beat us to the title I'll never know. We were 7 or 8 points clear of them at one point! Spot on that! On the rare occasions we went a goal down you knew the least we'd get was a point, more often than not a win. Complete faith in the team and they had complete faith in each other. For those young 'uns who missed seeing them....we were privileged! If you want to see commitment, check out Psycho's sliding tackle in the wind, rain and mud vs Chelsea in the FA Cup. #Legend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silvio Dante Posted December 5, 2017 Report Share Posted December 5, 2017 Really good programme last night. Highlights included - Bob confirming he’d be back at Ashton for the QPR Home game - Psycho confirming he was mates with Windass and threatened to kill him if he scored before the 08 final. Best of all though was Twentyman admitting if Bob hadn’t had got injured city would have finished above Rovers! Great team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can remember the one at Swansea and Crewe at home, can’t think of any others though? What a goal machine he was, without his injury vs Crewe we’d have won that division instead of going through the misery of finishing second to that lot...
