Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

[petehinton]

On topic…..3rd pre season game for them tomorrow and they’re just a small 8 players away from R Joe’s magic 12 that he decided he needed. To help them finish mid table, get bored, realise they have no budget to go again and then start applying around for jobs.

I am serious btw, when I get asked hypothetical questions I tend to answer with 'Ask me when it happens'

Hypothetical can be the real world though.

I am decorating at the moment. If I said to my wife 'I am going to paint the front room bright pink, is that ok?' and she said 'ask me when it happens' I would be very surprised. She would of course, instead predict hypothetically that she wouldn't like it.

Not as bad as blue and white quarters, but you get my drift.

Had a chat with a gas head in the gym who didn’t like my opening comment that “I hear the Russian army are recruiting from Rovers as more convicts there than in Russia”

We then discussed the Brown signing & within a few minutes had gone from I’m not defending him but……… he only slapped her, he was drunk, he was racially abused & had his hair pulled & everyone makes mistakes.  No mention of spitting in her face and how would he feel if that lady was his wife or daughter.  I also said in essence if it was a shit player the club would have released the player if already there as per Wael’s statement pre Barton trial.

The bloke was getting more & more rattled and compared the incident with bankruptcy in 82 with the quote “where were your clubs morals when businesses and players weren’t paid!”

Strange lot at times.

“At times” is superfluous here.

Funny thing memory.

Not to long ago they used to do raffles for the shirt sponsorship. £1k to enter, who do they draw - yup company one of the directors owned.

Good for them having a progressive owner and experienced CEO who evolving the club into prison fc.

But you asked a load of hypotheticals yourself earlier, you asked what if it was a scammer who caused heartbreak (what was the scam, how much, who was the victim), extra punishment for assaults on men (what are the assaults you talk of), you asked about certain age groups (what age groups), you asked about drink drivers and drug users (what were the circumstances)?

A lot of hypotheticals as you never gave any actual examples, but you expected people to answer them, yet refuse to answer any you get asked?

[Flounder]

I boiled the piss of a bus nutter gas head by suggesting that the the bulk of Bristolians don’t give a toss about what City did or didn’t do nearly half a century ago. They just see a Championship football club in a modern stadium.

I love how their answer every time is “1982” which is the playground equivalent of saying “your mum”

You just ended this post with a question mark which to me (bizarrely) it looks like the question mark is asking a question.

I also thought (bizarrely) with all of the question marks in your post the other day that you would expect your questions to be answered, you know, because you were actually asking a load of questions.

I never knew my English was bad enough to see a question mark, but the person who used it wasn't actually asking a question.

Okay, here's a question for you. Do you know what rhetorical means?

if it’s rhetorical it doesn’t need a question mark as it doesn’t require a answer

We both know how this ends.

August supermarket sweep where they sign 5 players on a season long loan from Prem clubs.

One of them moves on in January to a team with a realistic chance of the playoffs, one does well for them, the other 3 are meh.

The Post writes an article saying the one who moved on wasn’t that good (complete opposite of what they said in previous months), Barton claims referees are against them & he gets a touchline ban for threatening a match official.

They finish 14th, above Cheltenham & Fleetwood but below Lincoln, Barton says he’s the best manager in the league.

We clearly had different English teachers, I have never heard of a rhetorical question not requiring a question mark. A quick Google check suggests they do. If, however, we have any experts in the subject on here who can confirm that one way or the other,I am more than happy to apologise for my ignorance

You don't need to apologise for being ignorant.

You already suffer your fate from that curse as a result of the team ot has set you up with

Why would you need a question mark for a statement which a rhetorical question is . According to Brittanica dictionary anyway .

Is that a question?

When you were doing everything possible to stick up for your clubs lack of morals, you asked loads of questions to try and deflect away from the absolute shit show that your owner and Manager have happily created. I therefore mistakenly (iyo) thought you were asking actual questions because they seemed genuine. 

I replied to your post at the time, even mentioning the load of questions you asked. You never replied saying your questions were rhetorical which would've been quite simple to do, then again you never replied as my post made yours look extremely stupid.

I signed it off with the following which sums it up quite nicely if I do say so myself:

Family club my arse. The last couple of seasons will have you down as one of the most despised clubs in the UK. 

Your club deserves Barton and Barton deserves your club.
