Cracks me up, scouser with not a single clue of the Bristol derby, and what it means / creates. No surprise the OB said no chance, but the arrogance of scousers (and others) thinking they know the Derby, when they have no clue makes me laugh. Ask Holloway how friendly it is, he nearly died mind hahah That's the biggest problem, it would be a friendly in name only, the fans wouldn't want anything but 100% from the players and that's the last thing you want pre season. Let's ask Joey why Everton and Liverpool don't play pre season friendlies shal we? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgetting for one moment that its tinpot rovers, those "facilities" in this modern day age are absolutely disgusting. I am astonished that a "professional" and commercial outfit can seriously think that this is acceptable. That's a home made lean to with white plastic garden chairs. If a ball at speed hits one of those vertical posts or hits one of those static chairs it could cause a serious injury. I am really surprised that the powers that be grant a safety licence. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a SAG just like us don't they? I mean look at that floor area, and the way those chairs are strewn about. It reminds of one of those pictures you have to circle items on when attending a course on trip hazards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoystonFoote'snephew Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I see the SAG's have agreed to take their first team to Melksham again for a pre-season friendly. Levels are similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask Holloway how friendly it is, he nearly died mind hahah In fairness to him, there's a lot of people from Bristol who don't really know the derby because it's so rare that we play them! I'd actually quite like us to get a cup draw against Rovers again at some point (although, as @Port Said Red said, it wouldn't be appropriate as a "friendly") as I think a more competitive derby rivalry would help get kids from Bristol supporting Bristol clubs instead of PSG, Man City, Liverpool or whoever else but, with derby games so rare, the first one we play after a decade would be a bit of a powder keg.

Totally agree re wanting to play them in a competitive game, and the gap since the last one is generational, which is funny and relevant. I just think he is in for a major shock if he thinks this is some watered down, soft derby. I also think he believes he is the big draw, and bigger than the game itself. He’s not. They have to earn the right to play us, as does he. Next time they come the AG it will be anything but friendly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I see Snakey has been released by Oxford. I reckon he could still do a job in League One and wouldn`t cost a lot in wages. Just think, if they hadn`t sung songs about him dying every chance they get he might have thought about it. **** them now though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh well, apparently his career went downhill after he left Rovers according to the fewers….. He may not have played every game for us but let’s be honest he’d never have played any Championship football with them let alone experienced playing in a League Cup quarter final against one of the biggest clubs in the World. “I bet he wished he’d stayed and continued to be a Gas legend” they crow, as if that’s anyones ambition in life or Taylor himself gives a ****!

Open End Numb Legs Posted May 12, 2023 Report Share Posted May 12, 2023 I have never been to their ground and I suppose I always thought that there was probably a bit of exaggeration going on within OTIB to get a bigger laugh. But....that photo........I never thought it would be that bad. Is the rest of it the same? I am honestly shocked and I can see now why they are so keen to start afresh.
