Ah... Stairway to Heaven .. the last chance to grab-a-girl for a smooch. Panic set in if you hadn't scored when the opening bars of that tune came on!!!! 'Clubbing it' at Redland Tennis Club was far more edgy though viz City vs Rovers. Those softies South of the River had a much easier life!

I just realised something watching this, it doesn't matter how much money you have in football, it is about the togetherness and that is what DC is achieving with us, team spirit, two promotions in two seasons, top ten finish, players proud to wear the shirt, good attacking football, playing for each other, a young up and coming manager with bright ideas. A proud football club. That is something they don't have over the dark side of Bristol and that's why they are so obsessed with us, it strikes me that they are envious and jealous of what DC is doing here. So we have to believe that we can do the same as Bournemouth, get behind the lads, even when it's not going right and we can succeed, pass them and be better than them. FTG Im really jeasous that we are getting a wifi system implemented which is costing more than 10 times the whopping 100k they are spending on there pitch.

It's not just the gas logic - "we don't need money, we'll aim to emulate Bournemouth" (who spent a shed load of money, for any dear reader unaware). It's also a really poorly constructed case: "togetherness....team spirit....playing for each other..., proud to wear the shirt....A proud football club" are all one in the same point. "DC achieving.... being an up and coming manager with bright ideas" is point two. And then some excitement about winning a penalty shoot out against Grimsby to get back into the football league and then coming third in league 2. I do not think we have come lower than 10th in League 1 in 20 odd years. Then, just to blow anybody of an analylitical mind completely an utterly away, it is claimed we are for some reason jealous and obsessed with them. The conclusion of the piece, by the orator's own admission is to believe that they can emulate Bournemouth and overtake us. Well, ****king Hell! The post was obviously written by a 15y/o so really I'm being a bit harsh.

Lanterne Rouge Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 It appears that not everyone at the club is buying in to Darrell`s dream as one of their better players, Peter Hartley, has buggered off to Blackpool. He`s quoted as saying that once he knew they were interested it was a no-brainer for him. That will be the Blackpool that are a total car crash of a club with one of the dodgiest owners in football resulting in no-one going to watch them, no money and, until last season, have been in free fall yet he still sees them as a better prospect than the g*s! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
