Ohbasso Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 So last night not only did they manage to get another opposition player sent off, they also scabed another FIVE penalties! This is getting beyond a joke now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that way they'd have felt like they were at any other typical Rovers away game. You have to give credit to all the thousands who keep on travelling the length of the country, knowing damn well that they are likely to be locked out at every game. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Red Rag Posted October 5, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 Reports suggest a pound coin was thrown onto the pitch at the Minimal Stadium at the last home game.

bert tann Posted October 5, 2016 Report Share Posted October 5, 2016 In the summer of 1968 I took a group of Rovers’ academy coaches to visit the training centre at leading Czech side FC Vim. These days every other village team seems to arrange such low cost weekend jollies but at that time it was a pioneering and extremely expensive venture. Luckily MFI agreed to sponsor us and sent two of their chaps along to investigate the prospects of selling self assembly furniture to Czechoslovakian sports clubs and military installations. As the Fokker surged down the runway at Lulsgate I felt no Miss Givings because I had left her behind at Eastville licking stamps. Yet, despite this lack of secretarial assistance, the flight passed uneventfully and in what seemed like only three hours we were descending quickly through the white powdery clouds into Vim. Security was tight, which is how I like it, and though strip searched twice by a busty blonde border guard nothing came up and I was soon leading our party towards the Lubyanka Travel Lodge. Surprisingly the roads were clogged with traffic and, using the splattering of Czech picked up through listening to the BBC World Service, I was able to ascertain that an army of people from CSKA Moscow were also in town and doubtless planning their own reconnaissance of the FC Vim training methods. Next morning it is only fair to say the cleanliness of the Vim training centre exceeded our expectations and I can quite understand how 99% of household germs do indeed perish in such an environment. In fact on the day of our visit we were told it was the cleanest clean it’s ever been. Forced to remain on the bleachers we could hardly make out what the players were doing on the pitch about 100 yards away but the souvenir shop was very good. And outside the ground we were given a demonstration of how the Czech authorities dealt with hooligans which was so life like you could actually believe they really were being lined up against a wall and shot ! Back at the hotel the CSKA Moscow club President, Mr Al-Molotov was hosting a cocktail party and in the spirit of maintaining cordial international sporting relations we raised our glasses to heroes from both countries including Bobby Charlton, Valentin Ivanov, Bobby Moore, Lev Yashin and Burgess Maclean. On the following day, as we began our journey back to blighty, I reflected that we had actually learned nothing at all of value in footballing terms but, at least for a week or so, the publicity surrounding the trip would divert our supporters’ attention away from constantly thinking about car parks. We never did find out what happened to the lads from MFI. To be continued … 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he's had enough and he's got his reasons. He's on a Bristol city forum and I've never read a post were he's upset or been disrespectful to Bristol city fans . If he upsets rovers fans tough shit deal with it . I think there are some good Gashead posters on here . Even u don't seem that bad .

He is taking the p1ss out of the Gas, whether he is City or not.. this is the lets laugh at the Gas thread anyway. Bert is probably genuine but because he disagrees with yours and Prancers views on how apparently mighty the Gas is he is automatically a 'Ted. In relative terms you've done nothing as a club except skank 2 promotions so far and in all fairness his criticism is probably justified in recent years 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of the sh!t they come out with is hilarious and seeing them knocking each other on OUR site, you cannot make it up... Some questions for Question for Smaller Than A Flea... What is your opinion on the latest average away support figures? Surely they must be incorrect?
