Brizzle Rowvers!

[gasrex]

Enough about Matt, what about your lot?

I was thinking he would fit in well with quite a few of 'em! What must he have been like when you had Buckle as manager :~D

[ferrarilover]

Just when I was starting to like you 'Rex...

And as for you, Dave...!

All these 'tinpot' clubs, keep having the nerve to actually turn up at The Memorial 'Stadium' instead of knowing their place and forfeiting pre-match. Then, most of them have the balls to actually win the game, have these teams NO respect for the mighty Bristol Rovers, who, after all, have spent almost their entire existence in the Premier League, and whose trophy room holds many, many hard earned replicas of the European Cup, the UEFA Cup, the FA Cup, the Premier League trophy and many, many others. Oh wait, that's not right, is it...? Oh no, they're a pathetic West country outfit which isn't even close to being the biggest club in a 5 mile radius, which has spent the vast majority of its time in the bottom two divisions, has never won anything of any note, and gets barely five grand through the door despite being in one of the largest cities in the country. Is this the pot calling the kettle tinpot?

Face it Rovers, you're nothing. You might think you're a big fish in a small pond, but you're not, you're almost the smallest fish in the BIGGEST pond on Earth. Overall, you count for nothing and have absolutely no ammunition to throw around. You want to play the big club card, that's fine, I'll see your Bristol Rovers and raise you Manchester United, who have more fans in Alaska than you do in England. you are a club who couldn't attract 10,000 fans if entry was free and you were giving out Playboy Bunnies to every attendee. Man Utd could fill a million seater stadium every week, even if you had to sniff Trojan's jockstrap to get a ticket. Stop keep on with the whole "look at us, aren't we great" rubbish, coz you're not, you're poo and look as if you should be!

And breathe...

Matt.

Oh Really. Trojan, are you reading this. if so I want a ticket to come and see it. Should be worth a laugh! While your staked to the center cirle no doubt

Lovely Stuff not my words Michael but the words of Shakin' Stevens.

This is basically what I've been writing for the last 3 months, only not so blunt and to the point, it was time someone had to say it.

I dont like the big club small club talk. All you need to do is look in BSP and see clubs who historically are 'bigger' than a few of L2 clubs and stuck in the sh*ttest league ever to get out of.

All I really care about at the moment is the current season and if you look at the current L2 table, it goes Torquay above BR above Plymuff, history (this century) would reverse this. So it really doesn't matter, Torquay is a well managedclub with players who genuinely love the club therefore Torquay are out performing the others. Size doesn't matter its how you use it.

Great rant Matt. I agree with most of that.

I will pick you up on a couple of points though....We have won the Watney Cup and the majority of our history has been spent in the middle 2 divisions, not the bottom 2 :~D

Anyway lets all join in a sing song shall we...We all agree that Paul Buckle is a Wanker

[friendlygas]

Just to put you in the picture not all Rovers fans think we are a large fish and I have stressed on our forum time and time again that we have no divine right to be beating the likes of yourselves,Aldershot, Hereford,Northampton,Barnet or ANYBODY in this league. We are in this league for a reason and thats because we weren't bloody good enough in the League above. We are currently a "just below middle League 2 club" and if we continue to win one game and then lose the next this is where we will remain. Will buckle turn this around? I don't know but personally I believe we should stick by our decision to appoint him and see how the rest of this season goes. To be honest I can't really see us getting a lot out of our next three league games Southend A Swindon H and Gillingham A and if that is the case I think fan pressure will probably result in buckle being sacked. Not the right decision in my mind but our fans are not very patient.

[ferrarilover]

It's very kind of the Rovers fans to 'put me straight' regarding the absolute truth about the situation at 'The Mem'. I really do appreciate the effort and information, but I'm afraid I must now be the bearer of bad news... I don't care.
Make it sing, make it dance, make it up. How amusing would it have been if it had been absolutely factually accurate, not at all, not even close to as amusing as it is as it stands.
I'm glad, I really am delighted that you won a trophy. I'm equally as pleased that not all of you are monsters, but I already know that, I chose to disregard it for amusing effect.

Matt.

Gas losing AGAIN! This hilarity surely can't continue can it? Its like a sitcom, aired on saturday afternoons with the occasional midweek special thrown in. It beats Father Ted and Only Fools and Horses hands down! Haha

You were saying Andy?

I think it is wise to leave rambles like that until the match has actually finished.

I think the fact that you posted this 12 minutes ago, when the scoreline was already at 1-1 has far more hilarity about it :~D

Bizarre though that as soon as the whistle blows this is the first forum you come to to see what we are saying. You have got one of your own I assume? Paranoid or what?

Nothing Bizarre about it at all Stef.

What is bizarre is that there are more threads about us on here than there are Torquay ones and almost as many as on our forums.

It is nice to know our fortunes seem far more important than your own.

Hope you're having a fine weekend Stef

[Southampton Gull]

Wrong assumption mate, it's Buckles misfortunes that we're all interested in, you lot are just serial bystanders
