Maths - 13,464 > 20,351

Geography - Iran isn't in the Middle East

Human geography - Middle Eastern women all like having to wear hijabs

Law - A drunken fracas with nightclub bouncers is worse than assaulting two women, or beating up your wife and beating up a random taxi driver because you're annoyed with the wait at McDonalds

Business - UK-registered Bristol Sport is a tax-avoiding corporate entity, whereas Jersey-registered Dwane Sports isn't. 

Moral philosophy - An aside in a press interview made by a former manager is embarrassing, piping in clapping noise isn't

Engineering - Having a modern stadium = soulless; having a three-sided ramshackle dump = character 

History - Last time BRFC beat BCFC at Ashton Gate - 27 years ago; Last season BRFC had larger crowds than BCFC circa 65 years ago; Last time BRFC were in a division above BCFC - 49 years ago; last time BRFC were in a league position in the same league above BCFC - 23 years ago.

He's a mine of information. 

Good work RR.

Do you have a video of Rickie Lambert ramming a volley down Basso's throat in the JPT area final? I'm struggling to find it...

To be fair, Lambert is a pretty perfect example of somebody connected with Bristol Rovers...

Never gets tiresome watching that. Even if Mansfield were wearing their own kit, it would be hilarious. However, getting relegated with Mansfield wearing a G@a kit was and is priceless!!

[Wanderingred]

@Hot Air You’re an embarrassment, honestly.

Are we soulless because we have a roof and actual seats? Someone willing to put their hand in the pocket so we don't turn into an embarrassment? Or are you just horrendously jealous. 

Nailed it.

I'm actually touched - you all appear almost as interested in my own club as your own.

It is very entertaining, and this is in large part because we haven't morphed into a soulless corporate entity, unlike a certain club I could touch with a very short stick. 

Says the one on our Forum...

Hmmm.

It's a little bit embarrassing, isn't it, when you make a grammatical mistake when criticising someone's grammatical mistake.

Wow that genuinely made me belly laugh out loud in my office.

 

Thank you so much

This whole conversation with this hot air person reminds me of arguing with my friend Steven at school, who was an unfortunately a Sag. However much you pointed out the obvious about City vs them, it never really sank in to his small gas filled brain.

Lost touch with him years ago. Wonder why

Nope, not like your manager to do anything "frankly embarrassing"....

 

Wow, I don't think I've seen that before.

Love the surfers carrying on in the background, just doin' their own thing.

I thought everyone associated with young players had to be vetted? How does that work with a criminal record for violence?

I always loved the video filmed from the Rovers end. They were crying on the video, and so was I. Good times.

Certainly makes you wonder, doesn't it?  It isn't just the prison term: there's a long history stretching back to the "cigar in the eye" incident. 

Maybe, like Johnson Sr did here, Joey will recruit a family member who played a bit of football in his youth, and will fit in with the prevailing ethos at the Mem and has recently become available?

I like the clarity of this graph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_derby#/media/File:Bristol_Derby_League_Performance.svg  Has anyone seen a similar comparative graph of average home and away attendances? Could be an easy way to shut down certain outside posters..

[Kodjias Wrist]

Is it weird i actually pity rovers more now after this ones antics on here . Like the bar has actually dropped lower, never saw that coming.

One of my sons plays youth rugby and as I understand it us parents aren't even allowed to help out with any drills during coaching sessions. You either get yourself passed as a coach or you just watch from the side and talk about the price of fish with the other parents.

I don't understand how I, with nothing but a parking ticket in about 1989, can't tie another child's boot laces in front of 50 people but a football coach is allowed to carry on with a history of violence. Is it just a player age thing? Or are we back to 'well he served his punishment and that is that'?

It's fun. It's Friday. We are laughing at him and making him look stupid. However, that isn't taking too much effort to be honest.

It's so much fun that Hot Air even joined in on making Hot Air look stupid.

 

Not sure it was intentionally, mind.

[marmite]

I actually think Hot Air is their new owner trying to score brownie points for them..............and failing miserably.  Let's shut him down now. He's taking up valuable space.

[Porto Red]

This Hot Air is quite possibly amongst the 5 most dull and boring posters in the great history of this forum.

Mate. Everything about your club is f*cking sh*t. Not least, you.

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

See last season Rovers had some youngsters on the bench at times. They have now got a first team squad of 28 players to fill a match day squad of 18. Not much of a pathway for the younger players they have.

They are having a go this season, almost a win or bust situation.

That was the same season when we won 2-0 at AG, wasn't it? A Beadle double as I recall. The second being pretty special - I was right behind it. 

That 4-2 was something of a collector's item, wasn't it? One of the reasons your lot repeatedly folded at Trumpton was because they couldn't handle the atmosphere and the novelty of playing in an environment where the fans get behind their team. 

 

 

Didn’t have a great record there but it certainly wasn’t because of the 47 mute swans in the “Popular Side” (an oxymoron if ever there was one!)

However, once you were ensconced in the Pisspoorial we quickly took you apart three times there inside a calendar year.

'Didn't have a great record' is something of an understatement. You were taught a footballing lesson on more than one occasion.

Ahh i just remember the last derby played there “thumped ‘em at Trumpton” was the slogan i recall.

But like I say, once you dragged your rotting carcasses back to the city we quickly rectified that poor record.

And re: Mr. Beadle, he came back to haunt you big style in a later derby - to date the last league one were you good enough to play us. He was sensational that night and changed the game after Gash thug Robbie Pathetic crocked Lee Peacock. I worked with a Slaggie in Yorks at the time and it ruined his Xmas, not helped by me singing “Watch out, Beadle’s about” every time I bumped into him in the corridor.

Think back a bit further to May 2, 1990, when BRFC beat you 3-0 to clinch the league title.

Enjoy: 

 

Even better than the 4-0 hammering subsequently handed out.
