Right. I've just got back from 17 lovely days at my mates villa in Portugal. Apart from having to spend it with my family , it was a very relaxing, sun drenched break. I'm particularly touched that our webbed-feet brethren south of the river missed me so much they had to start a number of threads wondering where I was. Mind you, the very concept of a foreign holiday must be particularly novel and unique to the giro-bothering unemployment stats that constitute 82's support. Although I had no access to t'internet whilst I was away, my mates texted me the results until I told them to stop after the Wycombe debacle - I wanted to enjoy my holiday, not be depressed by Gas incompetence. I cannot ****ing believe that we have shipped 5 goals at home with no reply. It's just not good enough. A team cannot have just 3 strikers on its books if it hopes to compete for promotion - what happens if one is injured and another suspended? What happens if they're all out of form, like ours appear to be? Why concentrate on bringing in 4 central defenders when we only have 3 strikers? It's clear that we needed to sign at least one more striker or attacking midfielder before deadline day - especially after we sold our most potent attacking weapon to Boro. Why this has not been addressed? It's the Lambert saga all over again. I know it's early days and we are notoriously slow starters, but the nature of our play, especially at home has to be sorted urgently. We need goals and we need to play with pace down the flanks at home so that the likes of Harrold actually get some service, so why did we start with Gill, Brown and Paterson in the centre of the park? I've got more frigging pace than them and I'm a 45 year old smoker! McGhee needs to sort this out quickly or we can kiss goodbye to any kind of challenge. Lower mid-table or any kind of relegation battle is unnacceptable this year. We need some discipline, determination and tactical nous to get ourselves out of this god forsaken dump of a league. This month we should hear whether Bristol City Council will give the go ahead to Sainsbury's developing the Mem, which means that the UWE Stadium can be built. This should be exciting times for Rovers, but it will be irrelevant if we continue to disappoint where it matters, on the pitch. Gasheads have had nothing to cheer for around 4 years now. We stuffed Accrington on the last home game of last season - look at the different starts that the two clubs have made. That's completely unacceptable. ****ing sort it. Now.
hear hear but the coucil decision on sainsburys been moved to 7th november now. sorry to disappoint you further
Hi CJS - hope you're keeping well That's probably a good thing - I've got a bad feeling about it, it's Bristol City Fooking Useless Council after all.
im good. have a nice holiday? the teds did miss you didnt they. shows you rattle their cage more than enough to search you out when its nots going so well for us! keep up the good work apparently the decision on sainsburys will be on webcast.
Lovely holiday mate - beautiful part of the world close to the River Douro about 30 miles from Porto. Very relaxing with lots of chilled white port consumed around the pool. And what a great city Porto is. It's one of Bristol's twin cities, like Bordeaux and Hannover, and like those cities is light years ahead of Bristol. The 80,000 Estadio Dragao (Porto), the 28,000 Estadio do Bessa (Boavista), a fantastic tram system, loads of public art, great pedestrianised areas etc etc. It just demonstrates what ****ing dumps British provincial cities are compared to the Continent - Bristol's one of the best and wealthiest, yet we're a small market town compared to Porto, Bordeaux and Hannover. Porto built their tram system in under 5 years. We've been talking about building some **** bus rapid transit routes for 10 years and still haven't managed it. Meanwhile back in Bristol, we're waiting on tenterhooks to see if our useless Council will deign to grant permission for our enabling development, Sainsburys, and for the Teds ongoing saga with their stadium. What a total bloody shambles. As you say, it's on webcast so we'll be able to mark the card of whichever lowlife idiot councillor votes against the Sainsbury's development.....
welcome back, I for one have missed your infamous one liner "The teds are getting upset".. at least rovers are doing great.. if you turn the table upside down
Hi Pirate - I would've run straight back to Portugal and become a Porto supporter if I had witnessed that tripe. Oh well, surely it'll get better.... Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!
Hi Lan - oh well, at least I can't use that one-liner on you guys quite yet. Mind you....much more of Saturday's shennanigans, you know - losing against the 10 men of Barnsley, then perhaps I may have to sully myself and pay your board a visit...
How dare you go on holiday when the footy season is in full swing You do know Gasheads are supposed to get miserable at the start, and remain miserable until the end of the footy season right?? That's why YOBG has become a complete **** lately
See Christopher, BB went on holiday to a country called Portugal he went in a aeroplane up in the sky. Not like you who goes to Severn Beach
