The Bristol Rovers (15ers) Are Down Thread

thats the side of shiny i know, the funny side

 

can we stick to the thread please 'The Bristol Rovers Are Down Thread' I think they meet the mighty Eastleigh next season, I have watched them a couple of times against Dorchester, Ian Baird was the manager, I reminded him of his swift exit at AG (2 fingers-home fans - friendly - chelsea) he thought all players did it... Also they had/have? Tom Jordan Joe's son, nice lad, very well spoken and we chatted about his brother that City sold to Cardiff. Lee Peacock is something to do with the club but not playing. It brings it home what a low division rovers are entering, are they all full time? Not much to look forward to for the 'Man U of the conference.

 

i cant believe that eastleigh has a sugar daddy like forest green rovers!
i read on the OS forum that 5 teams are part time.
no rovers fan are saying we are the man utd of the conference. someone on 5live called us it. wished they didnt.

 

Its going to stick like whoever thought you were going to be the Barca of the 4th under Buckle

 

Was that a Rovers manager half time team talk instruction ?

 

pre-match more like!

 

Captain Jack Sparrow on here now - well as I have been barred from the Rovers forum for upsetting the Gas heads on their relegation to non league football - Ha ha ha ha absolutely hilarious for a bunch of horrible rovers fans.

Well deserved and lets hope its 5 years until your back as it took Luton.

You could always go and watch City though - oh but hold on there L1 whereas you'll be at the likes of Alfreton. Mind you you have a local derby against Salisbury not far from my team Swindon.
I'm sure City fans are loving it and I don't blame them as we are as well down the M4.

B.R. FC Four seasons, eight managers

Darrell Clarke: March 2014- present
John Ward: Dec 2012-March 2014
Mark McGhee: Jan 2012-Dec 2012
Paul Buckle: May 2011-Jan 2012
Stuart Campbell: Mar 2011-May 2011 (caretaker)
Dave Penney: Jan 2011-Mar 2011
Darren Patterson: Dec 2010-Jan 2011 (caretaker)
Paul Trollope: Sep 2005-Dec 2010

I bet the sags wished they never sacked Trollope, Buckle was the funniest time, 'Barca'.

 

still makes me smile....... forever

 

If you're still laughing at the gas clap your hands

 

Odd isn't it- Paul Trollope and keith Millen. Both shown the door but ourselves, and now assistant managers at Premier League clubs (albeit Norwich all but down), but Millen in particularly doing fine.

 

Paul the Troll has been sacked by Norwich too.

 

I love it, I really love it

 

Millen shouldn't have got a second term.
He did an alright job in his first term but didn't have it in him to be a full time manager.

 

Thanks Shiny- Guessed he may have but hadn't seen it-

 

There are quite of few of that type about. Good assistants but bloody hopeless managers. There was a guy at Sunderland who's name escapes me. Colin Harvey at Everton was another. Jimmy Lumsden was Moyes' No 2 for ages. There was John Gorman,England assistant as well as ours, but bad at Swindon as Manager. Just to name a few.

 

i have replied on your own board, the right place

cheers ROD for some inspiration

 

it seems a long week since rovers left the football league #justsaying

 

Malcolm Crossby??

 

ROD is the one with 6 fingers, the hypocritical **** stain.
