So ... fixture release breakfast was ok.

TG happy with Pompey and Barnsley up first.

Two possibly three in by Monday as mentioned above... Was very clear that Club are aiming for a top six finish and will be recruiting players that will have the ability to get us there. WAQ is fully supporting financially. He has seen the quality of what has been signed elsewhere we were not in for any of them.

Apologies from me to Eddy Jennings - Even on the morning of his wedding he was trying to tie up a new deal and gave himself the challenge of getting the player over the line on his wedding day.

Everything on course for the new stand - We should not believe what we read in the media as all things are progressing well.

Everything felt a little rushed today but TG was coolest man in the room - we are in very good hands.

Also learnt today from an attendee that our highest paid player as things stand is Big JM - by some distance as well. Made me think even more that AC will need parity or will almost certainly move on as his salary was far lower.

A few highlighted bits here. Let's see how things unfold then shall we? 

Why do they just lap it up continuously without question? 

******* braindeads the lot of them.

Unfolding nicely as predicted (already)......

So far the "Top 6" signings include

  • A has-bean "Ex-Sheed"
  • Someone who threatened to walk when he was last at Rovers
  • A woman beater

The new stand is.......not there

In very good hands - Everything on the cheap, zero morals, divided fan base, some fans giving up on the club altogether etc...but at least the players have some footballing ability so everything is sweet.

When will the penny drop for the rest of you Saggies?

 

The gift!

There is more chance of plaiting fog than that stand being anywhere near in place by August given how long planning is taking. Absolute farce.

Taking a wider view, things like criminal violence have punishments as a deterrent to stop people doing it in the future. One of those deterrents is limiting employment prospects but in this regard it seems Rovers don't care. If City acted the same I believe I would feel the same.

Credit to FP for saying what he has. I am not Bristolian but would stick my neck out and say I reckon there are probably a lot of Rovers fans who feel the same about Joey and some of the other staff. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance but maybe not a 3rd or 4th. There really are things more important than football and Rovers would gain a lot of goodwill by clearing out that bad feeling around the present culture, set an example from the top. It is not as though Barton has them on the verge of the Prem.

Re Fordingbridge as a place, I agree with others. Had a great sunny lunch stopover on the way home recently, right on the river. Nice place to live.

At least you can now see through the bull like we've been seeing (and pointing out on this thread) for years.

Yet it's barmy how a lot of Gasheads still believe every single line that they are fed and lap it up continuously? 

Rovers will never evolve under it's current ownership. It is merely existing hand to mouth from one year to the next. I think there is more chance of Rovers going back to League 2 (and possibly even the conference) than actually having their own ground and having a stable footing.

Glen Humphries?

The sad fact is that society is littered with people who have a propensity towards violence. I suspect every team has had such a player, we just didn't always get to hear about it. 

I go back a very long time & I’m not sure Humphries was ever charged with anything, though am fully aware of the rumour.

I don’t think it can be seen as a one off here (even if it was, as was evidenced by Danny Simpson I’m extremely uncomfortable with it), Barton surrounds himself with these types & it doesn’t take Inspector Morse to work out why.

Morning Chaps/Chapesses,

Long time no speak. Thought I’d drop in to see what was happening, bit quiet in the world of BRFC isn’t it? 

I’m officially done with this club now and consider myself an ex-supporter. Done with the constant bullshit from the Merseyside Mafia and every decision that’s made being further and further away from the club I grew to love, that used to be a genuine family club (stop laughing). 

Barton can do what he likes for all I care now, the reaction from a lot of fans shows me they deserve him and his band of merry *****. 

Rivalry aside I hope you’re all keeping well, and if anyone can help change my profile name from ‘Fordingbridge Pirate’ to ‘Former Pirate’…!

Much love,

FP

 

Fair enough but times change and you will find that the club you always supported will return in the future.

You're just pressing pause on your supporting, and I, as a City fan, have done the same in the past.

If it was just a rumour, I unreservedly apologise. My memory isn't what it was, but I thought I remembered him being charged.

Fair point. The longer it goes on though the wider the disconnect I feel. Not sure if that gap can be bridged when Barton goes.

An amusing read for a Sunday afternoon:-

https://gasheads.proboards.com/thread/21150/failed

My 7 yr old wants to see the s**t...

What do I do

 

Possibly the best response? ...

"I would be inclined to take them to a s**t preseason game, where the standard of play and atmosphere is usually poor, and then take them to a big game down at the Mem where its likely to be rocking."

That would really fool them! "Big game down at the Mem????"

Best bit is later on he picks out the ‘big game down the Mem where it’s likely to be rocking’ for them to attend as…

 

Port Vale…

Dave Partridge, Steve Brooker and Bradley Orr wasn't it?

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2006/sep/01/newsstory.sport17

Public order offences rather than assaulting a female though I think.

Nothing comes near the level of David Pipe though.

https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/footballer-david-pipe-charged-gbh-2066062

Footballers will always get into some kind of trouble. The difference is, all of these were already players.

Not sure we would sign a player though who is currently due to have a court case next month.

I wonder what video the Rovers media department will come up with for this signing?

The prodigy "Smack My Bitch Up" maybe?

 

All my life by Lil Durk

(previously a hit for the New Seekers)

 

Durkio told me he been on some positive shit, yeah, yeah
Lately, I just wanna show up and body some shit, yeah, yeah
Always been a lil' mathematician, lately it's cash I'm gettin'
Got me losin' count of these bags, I've been movin' too fast
Hard times don't last, 'member when cops harrassed
Talkin' out my ass, boy, you ain't shit but a bitch with a badge
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (all this time)
Never thought I would make it out (never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (no, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (no)
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)
I decided I had to finish, but the media called me a menace
I done sat with the mayor and politicians, I'm tryna change the image
You can't blame my past no more, I come from the trenches
Some said I'd never be a superstar, but I know I'm different (no, no, no)
I'm The Voice, but the system ain't give me a choice
Know some people that's still on deploy
I know a felon who tryna get FOID
Child support your only support
For a visit, I'm goin' through courts
Went to jail, they was chainin' me up
And you know that I'm famous as ****
See how you gon' joke about stimulus?
But they really had came in the clutch
I know some kids wanna hurt they self
Stop tryna take drugs, I refer to myself
Tryna better myself, tryna better my health but

First generation ghetto *Racist Term Removed*
Cole world, hello niggas
Made it out the city with my head on straight
Niggas keep shootin' up the lead out
Young Jordan Peele, gotta get out
'Cause the shit that I spit out
Is a cheat code like I'm facin' a RICO, how a *Racist Term Removed* put a hit out
And another one, and, and another one
I got like a hundred of 'em
'Bout to lap niggas so they think they ahead of me, but I'm really in front of them
Now some of them fumblin' they bags
******' up the little crumbs that they had
A reminder to humble yourself, this shit could be gone in an instant
Me, I'm runnin' long distance
All pistons firin'
I be stuck between maybe retirin'
And feelin' like I'm just not hittin' my prime
These days scene rappers be dyin'
Way before they even gettin' they shine
I never even heard of lil' buddy
'Til somebody murdered lil' buddy
Now I'm on the phone, searchin' lil' buddy name
Got to playin' his tunes, all day in my room
Thinkin', "Damn, this shit wicked, to get they names buzzin'
Some niggas just gotta go lay in a tomb"
And media thirsty for clicks, I got a new rule
If you ain't never posted a rapper when he was alive
You can't post about him after he get hit
It's simple, it's the principle
On any tempo, I'm invincible
Don't even rap, I just vent to you
I rather that than an interview
Most days
**** 'em all like I'm goin' through a ho phase
Young *Racist Term Removed* shoot out the whip like road rage
I pray all of my dawgs stay so paid
And the only thing that kill 'em is old age
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)
All this time (all this time)
Never thought I would make it out (never thought I'd make it out)
They couldn't break me, they couldn't break me (no, no)
They couldn't take me, they couldn't take me (no)
All my life (all my life)
They been tryin' to keep me down (they been tryin' to keep me down)

Worst bit about it is the number of them defending the signing.

Are we surprised though? Of course not, they could sign Adam Johnson and defend it.

They’ve just signed somebody who has admitted to assaulting a woman, and many of them are happy with it because it gives them more of a chance of catching us. So much about what they do is funny and easy to take the piss out of, this isn’t . It’s just sad and highlights the total difference in morality between the two clubs and respective fanbases
