Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

When you read the statement and see what the bloke has introduced into the club (basic stuff such as recruitment, nutrition, medical, analysis etc.) it shows what an absolute shower that club was only a year ago......yet the Fewers lap it up as progress rather than questioning why it wasn’t there and had to be “introduced” in the first place. Off the field it seems they hadn’t left the National League.

 

But Mr Al-Quidi took the credit for doing all those things a few months after he rode into town ?

We are either following American election practises and counting things twice or we have signed up to the green new deal and every few years will be recycling our list of groundbreaking achievements.

Definitely excited by this, it's clearly a massive improvement for the Sags and a sign they've really turned a corner. 

What..... Tisdale as their manager?

Nope, the fact they've finally managed to take a picture of a new arrival at the club without the Poundland patio furniture in the background.

Despite all the jokes I think this is a good appointment. Thought his interview with GT tonight was quite refreshing

I know we ought to be taking the piss on this thread, but I actually think that ‘could’ be a very good appointment. 
 

People look at Tisdale’s record but don’t look at the limitations under which he was working. 
At Exeter, there was a specific requirement to keep the club sustainable through the sale of their best young players. It’s a brave manager who plays 16 and 17 year olds, regularly, in the knowledge that by exposing them to first team experience, as well as ‘shop-windowing’ them, is in the best interests of the club versus ‘getting a result’. 
 

Playing the likes of Grimes, Watkins, Ampadu etc over the years, and having little budget to buy players of relevant experience and quality to complement them, was a tricky balance, but one which was necessary for the club to survive. 
People will argue that the academy at Exeter was all Perryman’s work, but you have to have a 1st team manager who buys into it and gives the players the exposure. Sticking 16 year old into your team, no matter how talented they are, is always going to mean a mixed set of results. 
 

So, there’s 2 things that the blue few need to get into their skulls re Tis. 
1) He’s not a shouter, a ranter and raver, and he won’t give them any ‘anti-city’ sound bites and sing ‘Irene’ down Glos Road. He doesn’t necessarily fit the personality that the gas fans seem to take to their hearts. If they can handle a non-partisan thinker, then they’ll reap the rewards. 
2) He will have a long term plan. He’s not a short term manager. This means he may not get instant results but he’ll be doing what he thinks is right for the future sustainability of the club. He’ll give youth players a chance, knowing they can potentially be an ‘asset’ for the club. He’ll want the right culture, etc. 
It’s actually a bit of a SOD comparison when he was here. There’s lots of important stuff being done behind the scenes to get the club in a good position for the future, but there’s little budget and results might not be great initially. 
If the fewers give Tis time, I think he’ll do well. 

Problem is, on both counts above, it’s not the Rovers fans ‘dna’ to be patient, particularly with a bloke who won’t get involved in their partisan ‘we’re the best supporters in the world and **** city’ attitude. 

I agree all joking aside this is a good appointment for the gas. Listening to his interview with Geoff Twentyman he sounds quite measured both in respect of the back room staff and the players. Think he will do well, if he gets given the time.

This image looks like it’s from a Southern Prem club. 

“The new gaffer is relishing the new challenge and can’t wait to get started against Taunton Town on Saturday. The chairman has kindly hired a minibus for the squad as it’s one of the longest trips in the league”

If somebody said to me who was rovers most entertaining player to watch, say over the last twenty years, i cant think of 1.

 

 

Well I have to say I was highly entertained by their performance against Mansfield when they dropped out of the league. Mansfield wearing Rovers' kit no less ?

Credit where it’s due, a sensible and realistic appointment by Wael. I’m still astonished that people think Paul Cook would have entertained the thought of going there for more than a quarter of a second.

As said by others above will the faithful, few and true ultimately accept a manager who is unlikely to indulge their special club mentality and obsession with “they gurt teds” over the river?

Yes, the nobel prize.

Again if somebody can point out anytime since the 1980s bristol rovers have came to ashton gate with a exciting brand of football, id be amazed.

Or like i said even a midfielder who can pass?

 

Actually I can think of Smash and Grab from the 70's. Very entertaining (well the haircuts were) They reminded me of Cannon and Ball only without the laughter.

Paul Tisdale - Full Bio

I don’t think I appreciated at the time what a nice kit this was (I’m sure many will disagree).

To stay on topic I think it was around this time that the Sags were making everyone wet themselves laughing with their Tesco carrier bag shirt. Even by 90’s standards that effort was unbelievably shit.

I didn't realise he only had one leg though, he hid that very well.

Didn't hold him back.

Carry on with your mission Agent T, and good luck.

 

His right leg was lovely, I had nothing against his right leg.

To be fair to Wael, he does seem a genuine fan and, judging by his latest letter, appears to have a sense of humour....

Prior to Paul’s appointment we were delighted that Tommy (100%) Widdrington agreed to take caretaker charge of the team. It was felt at the time that Tommy’s knowledge of the squad and experience was perfectly suited to take the reins until the right candidate was appointed. He leaves the management hot seat after the win over Chelsea (for which he has been fined!) and remains an integral part of the club. Tommy will assist Paul in his initial transition into the role and continue to oversee the football department at the club.

Me and my 16 year old son danced around the room when he lost.

Childish....

But it felt GOOD!!!!!!!!

I haven't seen it (still working), but I will wager that by 8pm, it will be a legal claim against Wycombe and Sainsbury's for the fact the Fewer got a set of questions they were unable to answer and so looked at thick as mince.

The trouble is there were absolutely no questions about Dean Windass or historic City failures so he was bound to lose.

Shame on you ITV. Clear pro-City bias. The broadcasting watchdog should investigate without delay.

Wally was also watching and hoping that he won big. He was about to offer him a cut price deal to own a Premiership (sprinkler) ready football club.

and now he’s officially been appointed Director of Football.

I’ll disagree. Looks like a vicar with an apron on. Bloody awful. But you’re right: up against that Tesco bag look of the same era, it’s a world beater!!

My brother mentioned that you could see him wince every time Bradley Walsh mentioned "the gap". :)

And the Gas NEVER question their current manager (whoever that may be at the time....)

Post by RoverDrive on 20 minutes ago

Obviously only 1 game but unbelievably worrying signs today.

1) One of the worst displays of the last decade
2) Late substitutions - we were crap at 0-0, then we go a goal down and still nothing
3) When we finally do, we bring on 2 defenders

I mean this is ******* basic stuff.

The fact is we were warned about this by both Exeter and MK Don's fans. 

Doesn't mean he won't improve or turn it round obviously. But that is the most alarming management display I could have ever imagined. The stuff of nightmares doesn't even cover it. 

Unbelievably concerned.
