Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

[1960maaan]

I nipped into their online shop, I do like to have a look at different teams to see what tat they sell. Ours is poor IMO, when I was going up to see the Brother in Law who's a big QPR supporter, I wanted some bits to spread around his house secretly. Anyway. I was thinking they have a lot more than us, but I came across this and what with them being so poor , I found this ironic.
Get well soon Bristol R*vers ?

Lets hope they don't

At the risk of getting a big "whoosh" can you tell me where this "dog fetish" thing with Dopey originated, was it based on some kind of truth (however fanciful) or just a random stick to beat the idiot with ?

Came from Garita didn't it? Didn't somebody ask him to say/tweet it, with him not knowing what he was saying/implying?

IIRC

Garita offered to retweet messages from fans when he first arrived
One of our fans sugegsted he retweet "Darrell clarke w##ks off dogs" and Garita did so without really knowing
The tweet was hastily removed (I presume when someone at the club explained what he had done)
The meme stuck though

Close. Garita was retweeting every single tweet sent to him when he signed. Obviously 99% of them were welcoming him to City, as he didn’t understand English someone quickly came up with the idea to tweet him saying “Darrell Clarke w@nks off dogs” and it was retweeted.

Our official Twitter then came out saying it wasn’t the real Garita account, which was nonsense and ridiculous as it had years of personal French tweets prior, so was obviously his real account, he was just unaware of what it meant.

If @BRISTOL86still has the original photo then that’d be great.

Fair enough, there's very little animosity from our side (although Swindon remain a club I personally don't like very much) but I remember all manner of bitterness in 2004 and later when we bought Greer off you.  Strange as Brighton have always been a bigger club than Swindon IMO (not that it matters).  I am genuinely pleased you've got that nob out of your club though, and I hope Oldham manage the same soon.

 

Yeah it's a decent forum here (I put it down to liberal but fair moderation), but I will say this sort of thing goes on with loads of football forums.  It certainly does on ours.  Why wouldn't it?

I agree OTIB is a very good forum and up there with the big clubs in the premiership and not just for football but a whole range of topics.

i totally agree Brighton are a much bigger club than Swindon and not much between yourselves, Pompey & Southampton and can still remember Peter Ward scoring for you regularly even though that was in the late 70's early 80's.

I thought rovers got permission on the basis that one of the pitches would be used by the community when Rovers weren't training.

I'm sure their "Loyal and Prowed" fans will be happy with that.

I see the traveling wagon of methane snorting goons rolls up in my neck of the woods this weekend. Sadly family commitments prevent me from visiting the Bescot to take the piss out of Biffer and his geriatric footballing oafs but at least I have enough warning to keep away from the centre of town. 

They are already crowing about away ticket sales on the Narnia that is their forum.

At this rate they may need 2 coaches.

Walsall struggled to get going in League 2 and took 5 league games to find a win. They then seemed to settle down a bit, drawing with Bradford away and then beating Mansfield at home. Their last game was a 2-0 away defeat to Newport.

They look like a difficult team to break down but have conceded late goals on couple of occasions. There biggest problem is creating chances. They simply don't. Even against Mansfield where they scored 3 they only had 5 on target the whole match.

With the sags unable to hit a cows arse with a banjo this match could end up being the unstoppable shite meets the immovable shite.

If Walsall win by anything more than 1 goal then the sags really are epically crap under Biffer Barton.

It should have 0-0 written all over it

It was something like 1,890, not thousands, but still more than the "thousands" who followed the Few today. It isn't about the numbers just the fact that they are bullshitting bastards as usual and it spreads from the bottom of the club right through to the top.

Sag who I work with went to hartlepool away and was adamant they took around 600, despite official numbers saying it was half of that.
