Ska Junkie Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 It's not like we are gonna play them in the league any time soon is it? All good humored banter as far as I can see and it's not a gap, it's a chasm and they know it! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the obvious difference here. For what it's worth, he's the only staff member that can genuinely get away with it.

Leave it to the fans I can see why some might see it that way, but in a world where many claim football is too corporate and the fans feel disconnected from the club, I like this kind of harmless ribbing. It’s just a bit of fun and IS trying to be less corporate. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up The City! Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 Us telling Bristol Rovers to mind the gap is quality! Suddenly I feel a little bit closer to the club. I'm guessing sagchat has gone into complete meltdown? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 I wouldn't have done it if I worked there as comes across to other clubs as pretty poor, BUT if it gets under their skin then so what! Clarkes "happy days" quote, all the Windass stuff, Wally "paid 300k for something that you could have for nothing in a few months", Wally being carried down Glos Rd, our scores being flashed up etc etc according to many Sags are all legendary stuff.

In the Net Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 15 hours ago, Rich said: When you say loophole, you do mean acting within the law, don't you? Somewhat like acting within the law to acquire a piece of real estate worth £6m, (GDs words) for £2m and £10k. That's exactly what a loophole is - it usually needs a good businessman (or accountant in your case) to spot the flaw and make use of it. Nothing unlawful at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having seen all the Bristol - Barf sparring in the build up to that game (congrats on beating them, btw!) I really don't want to see the football side of the business going down that route Mark the 18 years since they were above us, but a 3rd rate Cup game? Not for me It's like poking a two week old dog turd on the pavement, what comeback are we expecting? If you want a Gasheads comeback you'll need to scrape it off their sisters teeth....... 2 12 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, they're miserable enough anyway without our help haha http://gaschat.co.uk/thread/12880/time That opening post is on the money in many respects though and is equally applicable to pretty much any club; certainly applicable to us. I really don't remember people expecting so much or hearing any real negativity unless there was an actual crisis. I'm not saying that OTIB is full of moaners; far from it there are a lot of excellent and generally positive posters. We don't however seem any more to just enjoy it on the simple terms that we used to enjoy it; and I include myself within that very sweeping statement. Quote When I was in my later teens, I used to go to Twerton to watch the Rovers. Me and my mates used to meet at the Carpenters Arms for a few then drive, I mean get a cab, to Bath have a few more and watch the Gas. Win or lose, rain or shine. We won some lost some, that's football. We sang and cheered and dometimes had a scuffle after all, we were young. But it was the highlight of thr week. We would spend the week chatting about the game and the result we hoped for. When did it turn into expecting so much, hating so much ? I don't understand. We've never had much have we ? in fact, the past few Years have been some of the best but because of a foreign owner so much is expected. It seems like a lot of forum members don't like Rovers and when I say Rovers if means everything. Why go then ? To moan and criticise ? I try to be light hearted on here but there is so much sh**. Yes I know we fans have the right to complain but we take it to the next level. We moan about everything. We talk about the spirit of the past but it's our spirit that's changed as I believe the club and players are trying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just them showing off, that they had a tannoy. I’m surprised they don’t “accidentally” turn the sprinkler system on during the game, just to show people that they’ve got them. A bit like the whole Babe station debacle, was probably just them showing off because they’ve bought a TV licence..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
