Popular Post wendyredredrobin Posted August 26, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 My son is taking part in a social experiment. he has to wear a Bristol rovers shirt for two weeks. So far he's been verbally abused, punched and and spat at. It will be interesting to see what happens when he leaves the house. 5 27 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's very sad when anyone feels that they've reached rock bottom & have no point in being on this earth - but then it was his decision to join Rovers & he should have considered the effects & repercussions more carefully before he accepted the job. Yes, I know mental illness isn't something to joke about - I'm just being a knob. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah yes that's right he's a racist, tweeted a picture to have a humorous dig at the royal family completely forgetting the ethnic origin of one of them and immediately deleted. I am sure that makes him a racist, we will forget the fact that he was married to a girl of colour, (however briefly) and the fact that his whole journalistic career, particularly the music part of it, points to him not being a racist. I am not sure when "being hated by Millwall fans" was a bad thing either. Edited August 26, 2022 by Port Said Red 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made a comment a Rovers fan doesn’t like though, (which struck a nerve about their bullshitting tendencies) so clearly must be a racist.

RedRock Posted August 26, 2022 Report Share Posted August 26, 2022 (edited) Was one of the ‘must listen to’ radio shows in the day. Someone presenting who understood real football fans rather than a manufactured pompous graduate posing as a pseudo fan. That ‘racist’ incident was all a load of carp, created by people who knew nothing about him or his history. Aside from all that he called the Sags out for being ‘pathological liars’, so he is obviously an observant, genuine and a decent chap. Not aware of any Millwall fan that dislikes him either, but I suppose you’ll always get a few who’ll have a pop at a celebrity because that’s what they do. Either that or his political views don’t accord with them, which brings us full circle and reinforces the fact he’s a non-racist.

As a close neighbour I can attest that his kids are as decent and polite as they come, which is as odds as he's a hypocritical, curmudgeonly and rather objectionable tw*t of the first water.

I hate phone in shows, but his was brilliant. I've always had a soft spot for Millwall as well, having a few cousins who support them, I was in the away end at Ashton with one of them when it all went mental (late 80s?) and thought I might possibly die if anyone heard me talk and was at the last game at The Den, which again was a bit hairy. I was also at the Den for a home game against West Ham where I really did think I might die, I was in a pub that was attacked by West Ham fans , windows put through from the outside, while Millwall fans were trying to get outside to fight, it was ******* terrifying! Anyway, after that game I bumped into Danny and told him about how I once led 2000 Tote Enders onto the East End, it would have been 4000, but the rest got locked out. This last sentence may have had some bearing on Danny's opinion of the best fans in the land. It may also possibly not be true. 2 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millwall ‘when it all went mental’ at the Gate could be any match since about 1968. The 84/85 encounter was, from my recollection, the worst. Think that was the one when not only did I wonder if I would survive the day, but seriously questioned the future of all humanity! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be interesting (?) to know how all the junior 15ers got on with their Maths GCSE results. My guess is that they all failed, miserably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
