One Team Posted March 8, 2008 Report Share Posted March 8, 2008 This weekend is massive for Rovers which is why I am putting any differences I have with them aside and giving them my 100% support.I know it sounds odd and maybe a tad controversial but its a massive game.When you look at it, they're a pretty decent side, have got a reasonable fan base and a fantastic young manager destined for better things.All that considered I think they deserve EVERY City fans support this weekend!So, please all City fans join me in saying "Come on Rovers!" and "Come you on you blue and whites!".............and "I hope you beat Fulham at home this afternoon and kick them into the relegation zone so we don't have to play them next season!!!"! ;-)As for the Gas, ###### 'em and their quarter final - I hope WBA stuff 'em 6 nil!;-)(well you didn't REALLY think I meant the Gas did you!?)Here's to 3 points against Leicester!One Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kibs Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 For me a perfect game would be this - After about 30 seconds, Rovers go 1-0 up. The Gasheads go wild and are biting their nails for the next 90 minutes until deep into injury time(About 7 minutes), Albion equalise in hilarious circumstances. A simple back pass to Steve Phillips takes a ridiculous bobble on their totally shite pitch which has got them this far anyway and the ball dribbles (in slow motion) into the net despite the desperate efforts of Phillips who collides with the post. The Gasheads are now in tears.........Replay at the Hawthorns and WBA smash them for 6. Everybody is happy and WBA are still concentrating on the cupOh yeh, and the back pass was from Danny Coles(If he's not cuptied). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are a Bristol City fan and should hold nothing but hatred for your nearest and undearest rivals.In fact I'd go so far as to say that as all of the other 91 league clubs are potential opposition, then you should have no fondness, likeness, soft spot or affilliation to any of them.

What I am suggesting is to understand that other footy fans feel the same way with regard to their chosen Club and, hopefully having accepted that, there will be mutual respect and friendly banter as opposed to my original observation concerning the requirement to hate the gas. On second thoughts I am begining to wish I never started this, maybe next time I'll just 'Stand up if you hate the Gas' Apologies if you felt my comments were 'condesending' ......believe me that is not the case !!!!!!!!!!!!

mitchg Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 Personally i hope rovers do do ok, i want a draw with lots of yellow and red cards for WestBrom with a few added injuries, nothing too serious but enough to keep one or two out for a week or 3. Then with a replay and knowing they have a good shout so therefore one eye on the cup, maybe they can make a slip up or two in the league so aiding our march into the top flight and the so called promised land the land of the big bucks and over paid over hyped big heads.

I am not one who judges how other people support. I accept all BCFC fans as equals. You are a true supporter and that is cool with me.But I don't agree with your argument. In my eyes, I am City, and no-one else matters. Any team which City are playing against should be derided and hated as much as possible, as they are there to challenge you and attempt to win the match and to get one over on you. They are therefore the opposition, and that means we should despise them, just as they do us.You have mentioned being able to talk to other footy fans the world over (I am the same), and there is nothing wrong with that, we all share a common interest and belief, but when it comes to us against them, it's dog eat dog, kill or be killed, last man standing, only one winner, and therefore hatred and howls of derision should be aplenty.That's football Brian.

Well, thank goodness for that !!!! your reply is re-assuring because you have made the point for me, or should I say managed to explain the basic essence of the issue better than me....... I accept you don't agree with my initial 'argument' but I bet you are the type of guy who would defend my right to say it anyway.. good on you...........I respect your opinion and I guess passions do become aroused when the heat is on and the 'dog eat dog' mentality kicks in, but one thing is for sure we will all be singning from the same song sheet tomorrow............never mind the gas or anyone else for that matter.here's to a City win...come on you reds !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
