No,because we hear about that via English media.We do not get to find out what is happening in other countries a lot of the time as English media is very insular.Thanks for the offer though.

Wanderingred Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 12 hours ago, zippycar said: From the BBC news website "A Jordanian writer charged with offending Islam after allegedly sharing a satirical cartoon on his Facebook page has been killed. Nahid Hattar was hit by three bullets outside the court in the capital Amman where he was standing trial." Glad this sort of thing doesn't go on in Guernsey As they say "Lie down with dogs" Jordan writer in blasphemy case Nahid Hattar killed I really dont think this is in good taste. Using a persons murder by an extremist terrorist to try and take a pot shot at the gas... Simply because their owner comes from the same country? No. Just, no. I cant believe people are trying to defend it either. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that a singular incident in another country does not represent another person from that country, especially when they aren't even in the country. I tried making the point by sarcastically saying a Russian I know is a ****, as if that would have any slight impact on the completely non-relevant event happening elsewhere, completely out of said persons control.

Red-Robbo Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 There's a vague fragment of a point mentioning something like this. It again demonstrates what a volatile region Jordan sits in. A small country with few natural resources and with Islamist nutters in it. Not the best place to have your family's assets located and another reason why we should be thankful for having a local owner. Now 'tis time to move on and discuss more germaine points: like how refs are continually conned into awarding the Sags penalties. They'd be bottom of the table without their regular-as-clockwork second half penalties. I feel someone should write to the refs'organisation to point out this trend. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than any other team...suspect not. Do we have any 'real' money, any more than you lot? I care not. I guess the only real thing I actually laugh at on here is how some of your fans, and again I say some...like to say that fans of clubs like Swindon, Cardiff, Plymouth say they hate us more than you lot- complete utter joke talking to fans of those clubs over many years in my experience. But then this 'gas logic' thing you harp on about is , of course for your own amusement...as your very being is for ours,I like it this way..

We have to rely on scoring goals from open play. The old-fashioned way! Do fans of other teams hate Rovers more than City? I don't know, I'm not one of those fans . I suspect most are ambivalent about both clubs. You're talking to the wrong man here. Do I think incidence of Gas bad behaviour has been played down in the local media in a way City would be crucified over? Damn right I do! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly correct - but no doubt the reason that they dislike us is because we a much more successful than most of those tin pot clubs - yourselves included. I do wonder if you would really expect someone you were talking to about local football to actually say they preferred City to Rovers as it would be clear to them they were talking to a Rover fan !

Horse punching on relegation. Posters threatening the squad around the training ground (or something to that effect, can't remember exactly) before your conference season.

bs3 Posted September 26, 2016 Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Do we want our football club to be owned by local people who made good and have the club , the community and the City at the heart of what they want to achieve. Or the club to be owned by overseas Arab business men who come to England on a big ego trip trying to make name for themselves. I always find it slightly disconcerting that Rovers fans users Jordians flags for their avitars on line. I never saw Cardiff or Man City fans using flags of their foreign owners. Rovers made a great play in the past about them being a grass root club , than a foreign owner comes along promising riches and quickly they sold their principals quicker than the Lib Dems trying to get into a coalition government. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
