CrazyInWeston Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 I'm pretty drunk here, and I saw that someone mentioned what the hell do the gas mean when they say FTG. I know what we mean when we say it, but no idea what they mean when they say it. If been answered then can only apologise, I'm pretty wasted here.

It’s all the housing markets fault God knows how we manage to get players to sign for us. Look at the rise in house prices around Ashton and Southville over the last few years. **** me!

They don’t say ‘FTG’, whenever anything from their forum is quoted on here the OTIB autocorrect changes the U for an F. This does mean that it appears that Sagheads sign off their deluded ramblings with a ‘FTG’.....however that’s just for the benefit of OTIB, in reality it would’ve been a U, not an F. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are being taken to the cleaners and applauding the people doing it; I did actually read one lone voice calling for a pitch invasion and protest today. There's one fan who can see the truth. It's tipping from funny into tragic. I speak as one who wants Bristol to have two professional football clubs. It is becoming abundantly clear that Bristol only has one professional football club. The other one is getting more amateurish and desperate by the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rule The Waves Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 DC is throwing in the towel from that interview and wants out. If he was managing someone else I’d feel sorry for him, but he’s not so eff him. I think he wants out but is waiting to be sacked to get the payout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coombsy Posted November 19, 2017 Report Share Posted November 19, 2017 The simple answer is that the whole atmosphere around the club has changed since the cancelling of the UWE. Even Clark is now public in his criticism of the status quo. I was asked recently what I hoped to achieve by going public with various bits of info from behind the scenes. My answer, honestly, was to hope the fan base would wake up and see what was staring them in the face. It now seems they are beginning too. That gives me hope that in turn, our owners wake up, to either sell up and go, or invest in a new stadium, preferably the UWE, and the team. I still don't believe the reason given for calling it off, and find it laughable that anyone would believe it. We have had 50 years of bullsh*t from owners. The Mem is obviously not a plan b, and the training ground is now on hold. Invest or go is the only hope. Trouble is, if they don't, it begins to smack of asset stripping, and there is not long before even that becomes non viable. As the fake shak said the training ground fence payment been sorted only to stop can't pay we take it a way turning up . when he found out the will not get TV coverage money ask Swindon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a fully qualified, self-appointed amateur psychologist with limited ability but to me DC doesn't look or sound like a broken man in my "professional" opinion. He does look bored and he does look devoid of ideas. Nothing in that lengthy and dreary interview gave insight into how Rovers came to lose 3-0 at home to a team that has even more non-league pedigree than they do. His apathy screams of 'sack me ffs' and it's pretty telling that only his wife supports him during his post-match misery. Presumably the owners have lost interest in the first team in their quest to build a fence around a boggy playing field in Almondsbury and fail to steal yet another stadium - this time in South Gloucestershire. I did learn something useful. Next time my boss hauls me to one side and says 'is the problem me?' I'm going to remember to say no. Clearly DC is a master of the dark arts as can trick the Rovers players into admitting their discontent and then, by his own admission, ship them out in January. Genius. I salute his high level management skills. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I watched the interview, slaughtering the players that he bought for being mentally weak. Clearly doesn't have a very good eye for a player, too. Also taking subtle digs at his employer this week just adds to a man who has completely lost the plot who looks lost and void of any ideas to get them out this mess. But by all means if you enjoy listening to a man who interrupts the interviewer on many occasions and who throws more tantrums than a teenager then listen away I do agree though the Sags are very lucky to have him, I hope he stays for verrrry long time Edited November 19, 2017 by Sergio Georgini 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so if you like cliches, repetition and self contradiction. All managers under pressure say they are fighters and won't quit. It's code for 'I won't resign because I want a pay off'. Still it was certainly interesting to hear him claim to take full responsibility yet accuse his players of crumbling then claim he would boost their confidence. A certain lack of coherence there. It's pretty standard too for managers to claim they take responsibility while blaming everybody else. The fact is that he has been duped by the owner and has been as gullible as the fans. He is now paying the price for that and his past hubris. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
