Open End Numb Legs Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 That's the media for you though. Promotion chasing Rovers were 'impressive', finishing down in 17th. Relegation threatened City 'underperformed' but finished higher in 14th. I won't bother mentioning the different divisions as it is all relative. The way it has been covered across the season is a larger scale version of a match where commentators take an angle on the game, usually based on league position rather than what is happening in front of them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeoTheCiderHead Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 They keep mentioning “returning the favour” for Matty Taylor. The two deals can’t even be compared. We bought Matty Taylor off them whereas IF they somehow drugged Chris Martin and he joined them, it would be from QPR - not us. Absolute shitshow of an article. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What an awful article. 99% of it is utter bollocks. All that was missing was the words 'speed merchant' before Chris Martin.

Yes, it's been this way for a long time now. Anything City related tends to be on the negative - we "fail" they "miss out", they're "edged out by a strong side" whereas we are "beaten by a below par side" etc. I'm sure that this is part of the reason that their fans are so deluded, and some of ours are perpetually disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feary was City through and through and would have done anything he could to help the club. He was offered a place on the board at one time and I know he found it really tough turning it down, but with the existing commitments he had, he wouldn't be able to give his all to the role. Definitely remember plenty of advertising from him around the Gate back then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That article is 17 different shades of absolute bollocks. "Rovers were impressive" "Staggering promotion" "haul of 53 points" "A sigining that would go down in folklore" Oh FFS shut the **** up !!!! Having a brief look at the authors other articles for the same outlet, they're all listed as "opinion" and consist of a recommendation for a club to sign a player who had some sort of link to the signing club. Basically, a load of total guff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way is that an even split, whatever the ******* who wrote this shite thinks. GCSE Maths ungraded, I reckon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BetterRedthanBlue Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Would it ruffle some feathers if Martin went to the 15ers. Not to me he was a fantastic servant to the club but his time came to and end. If he's still living and settled in Bristol you would want to get a local club (although Cheltenham or forest green would be better options with much better stadiums).

Agreed, at some point most footballers will put down roots somewhere, if that is the case here then good luck to him and his family. Good choice of area! No problem with him at Rovers if that happened, if he can prolong a career then go for it, many don't get that chance. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly couldn't give a **** if he went to the gash. I'd just feel bad for him that it's ended that way If anything I still think he has more to give than going to a club who finished 17th, or whatever it was, in division 3 (whether that be gash or anyone else) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRoss Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 Just a lazy written article. Trying to create parallels of two separate transfers. One where we pinch their inform striker at the time activating his release clause and a player who served us well but we paid up his contract mid season and he's played elsewhere for the remainder. If it works for Chris good on him. Just shows the difference in levels if they do decide to snap him up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted May 19, 2023 Report Share Posted May 19, 2023 £420 a season ticket in the new ‘stand’. Bottom half of league one in that pole filled thing that may not even be there for the first 2 games. More expensive than my ST in the south stand. And they think they’re doing fine financially…!!

I did think it odd that the previous charge didn't specify that in some way as otherwise the older charge against the Mem, to Dwane Sports would take precedence, I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
