HoldenBall Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I would love to know what their "ethos" is. Is it having a truly awful stance on domestic violence, is it harbouring a convicted criminal making him one of your own, giving him chants, banners, putting him on your merchandise. Is it stealing a historical ground from another sporting team in Bristol purely for your own financial gain? Is it giving death threats to a player who single handily got you back to back promotions, being your best ever player in the last decade? Please, Deluded Sag, what is your ethos? Your football clubs culture, beliefs and "ethos" is maybe aligned back in the 1970s, but not in todays ever progressing world. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedLionLad Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 7 hours ago, Deluded Sag said: I do genuinely think that Phillips was a good keeper and would say this even if he hadn't played for you. On Phillips, I didn't say that we got one over on you. I pointed out that he had no great affection for your club and that after the JPT final, he very much gave the impression he felt he had got one over you, and Johnson in particular. Like the rest of your team, Basso overperformed in your championship playoff final season. He never even played for Wolves, and only played 13 games for Hull. FYI Keepers don't usually reach their peak until late 20s/early 30s. You must be Steve Phillips 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll look forward to GJ's biography where he explains this deliberate slight. His dropping out of the team might have more to do with him scoring once in his last 18 games. From memory most people I knew wanted him to do well, but obviously you know better. After he left us he played 4 times for PNE before moving on. Got about 1 in 7 after his permanent move to Yeovil and 1 in 9 at Exeter, hardly pulling up trees. I , for one was happy he was doing well in, by then, a Division lower than us.

David Brent Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 34 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: As we have seen on repeated occasions, Johnson is more than capable of speaking for himself. Both Phillips and Stewart spoke publicly about falling out with Johnson. One of the reasons that Johnson took against Stewart was because the former Rovers tailsman stood up for Phillips. This is still more prolific than Bas Savage. In your promotion season from L1 you also had a non-scoring striker (Smith?). Even in the twilight of his career (and the season, he had helped Sunderland achieve promotion from the championship), Stewart was immeasurably better than both. Stewart wasn't playing as an out-and-out striker at both clubs. More of a deep-lying role. He was very influential for both clubs - speak to fans of both clubs and they will tell you this.

Sweeneys Penalties Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 2 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: The difference is that Devon White was actually effective. He played in the Premiership whereas Bas should have been playing on the Downs. Apparently you players couldn't believe he was actually a professional footballer when he first turned up for training. For some reason, people objected to my objection that Phillips was a good goalkeeper for us and that I rated him. And the Stewart debate was kind of a strange offshoot in which I was perversely expected to be fully aware of the minutiae of his entire career. As I have said before, post on the Independent forum, not the official one. Behave with courtesy and respect for others and I have no doubt you will be welcomed with open arms.

Silvio Dante Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 7 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: The difference is that Devon White was actually effective. He played in the Premiership whereas Bas should have been playing on the Downs. Apparently you players couldn't believe he was actually a professional footballer when he first turned up for training. For some reason, people objected to my objection that Phillips was a good goalkeeper for us and that I rated him. And the Stewart debate was kind of a strange offshoot in which I was perversely expected to be fully aware of the minutiae of his entire career. As I have said before, post on the Independent forum, not the official one. Behave with courtesy and respect for others and I have no doubt you will be welcomed with open arms. However, be prepared to banter and don't dish it out if you can't take it. I think you’ll find you brought Marcus Stewart up as a stick to back up your Phillips/Johnson assertion. You then stated he got promotion from league one with Yeovil. No such thing occurred. You then said you meant Exeter (in respect of promotion from league one) No such thing occurred. Both of these assertions were to back up your thinking that Gary Johnson, a manager who achieved two promotions to the Championship (hint: more than any Rovers manager in living memory) was wrong to jettison Stewart and Steve Phillips. Despite achieving greater success without them than with them, and therefore being proven right in his decision. Finding no favour in that argument, you’ve then moved onto “weren’t Bas Savage and Andy Smith shit”. Yes, they were. But they contributed more to the success of this club than Stewart, who you brought up. And getting promotion with such resources surely proves how good Johnson was. I’m not sure what you’re arguing here. You’ve been pulled up on basic facts you’ve got wrong, and indicated somehow we should care that a player we released did well, despite the fact he never played against us after that point because we were at a higher level than him. It’s a pretty thin argument. You’ve released Zain Westbrook this week. I’m assuming if he plays well at league two it’s one in the eye for Barton per your logic. Similarly, if Will Puddy thinks Darrell Clarke was a *****, I’m assuming you’ll think it’s a chapter worthy of discussion, despite Clarke taking you higher post his release. In short, you’re a bit odd really aren’t you? 9 1 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 So just to summarise then (and apologies if I've missed anything).... 1. Bristol City have had some shit players. 2. Marcus Stewart and Steve Phillips don't like Bristol City or indeed, Gary Johnson. 3. Bristol rovers have beaten Bristol City on a number of occasions, including a number of times during the 90's at twerton park Is there anything else?

Taz Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Deluded Sag said: Allow me to clarify for you. Let's try again. Johnson got rid of Stewart because he did not believe he could play at L1 and replaced him with Bas Savage, who became a cult hero for your fans, mainly because he was so sh*te. Stewart then played for both Yeovil and Exeter at L1 level to a high standard. I'm going to guess that he scored more goals than Bas Savage in either period. Any objections to this? **** me sideways, you don't half talk some shit don't you!? Nobody, and I mean nobody (and I include Bas Savage in this) has ever, EVER, thought that Savage was a replacement for Stewart. Savage was a punt that went wrong, and should never have been anywhere near a professional football club, as he couldn't hit a barn door from 2 yards, and couldn't do much with a ball at his feet. He had the feel of someone who had won a competition to get a contract. Mind you, your lot have had a load more of them over the years. Stewart was a marquee signing that went wrong for many different reasons. He was coming away from his best years, and was in decline - hence why he ended up signing for us where we were at that time. He couldn't have tried harder to make it work, but it just didn't happen. Whichever idiot said he wasn't good enough for us, certainly did you a favour all those years ago. What's your next move then saggy? Edited January 24, 2023 by Taz Browser issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Davey Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 5 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: Of course. And he then went on to establish himself as a regular goalscorer in the Conference and L2. Barton even enquired about buying him after we were relegated to L2. Thankfully he didn't, as Akinde is a very limited striker and we now have Aaron Collins and Josh Coburn instead. Its strange that people are struggling to acknowledge that Bas Savage was very s*ite and worse than Marcus Stewart. Don't think any one care's . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s pretty much it although we’re not certain about Stewart’s thoughts on our club? The fact he doesn’t have much time for Gary Johnson is hardly news to anyone so **** knows why this bizarre Saghead is bringing it up. Didnt we have a ‘Boring Sag’ on here once? This bloke is either him, Steve Phillips or both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero ***** given The reality is : You have a stadium built by ASDA George section, an owner with a nice watch but has spent **** all on da Roverzzz and wants out. Add to that you have a manager who flirts with jail time every other year and a diminishing fan base. Year on year your attendances trend downwards. Your club is irrelevant and you know it. Being 8th in League 1 is your peak (and you know it). Go shave your head and **** off 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 4 hours ago, Deluded Sag said: On reflection, it appears I got Yeovil mixed up with Exeter....easy mistake to make. The essential point still applies - Stewart played to a high level in L1 with both clubs after leaving C*ty, despite some of your fans believing he was finished. Playing Bas Savage ahead of him was actually a calculated insult on the part of Johnson. I can't speak for Stewart, but I'm sure he has more far important things to do than harbour grudges against Gary Johnson, especially with his recent MND diagnosis. I'm not sure about Phillips though - his dislike of both Johnson and your club seemed visceral. He played in a lower league. For four years. Then retired, having played 11 games, mainly as a sub, in that last season. In L1 he played for Yeovil in the season they finished 18th and Exter City were a L2 club when he joined them, two years after being released by us. Got 4 goals in his last three seasons with Exeter. Hardly a meteoric career. I wish the guy every good wish now and hope his health holds as long as possible. But your championing him as some sort of superstar in his 30s, who Gary Johnson got rid of because of a personality clash is utter and total cobblers. You're making yourself look (more) stupid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvio Dante Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) 25 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: Its disappointing that we are in the 21st century and that people still think it is acceptable to use terms such as 'weird' or 'odd' to dismiss those they disagree with. Or to make pathetic jokes about unemployment, knowing nothing about how this may or may not have affected the person they are speaking to. I would like to think everybody can do better than this. “However, be prepared to banter and don’t dish it out if you can’t take it” Definition of odd: “strange or unexpected” (https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/odd) You’re a Rovers fan discussing minor figures in City’s history on a Bristol City forum. That, by any definition, is strange or unexpected. Therefore, by the Cambridge English Dictionary it is indeed acceptable to refer to you as odd. Indeed, said dictionary says an acceptable use of odd is “Her father was an odd man”. If the Cambridge English Dictionary causes you to trigger, the internet may not be the place for you. Or as was once said; “However, be prepared to banter and don’t dish it out if you can’t take it” Edit: I note you’ve said to @Red-Robbo that “It is at the very least odd to replace a striker of Stewart's standing with a player who would look more at home on the Downs.” I assume therefore an apology will be forthcoming.

Silvio Dante Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 19 minutes ago, Deluded Sag said: That's actually a counterfactual assertion, as you don't know that Johnson wouldn't have been equally successful had Phillips and Stewart featured in the side. Perhaps you can claim it is unlikely, but you cannot claim with certainty that the club would not have been any more successful had Johnson taken a different decision. “Great news Guv, we’ve caught the man who killed 33 people last week” ”The streets will be more safe tonight” ”Well it’s likely that they will be but we can’t state that with certainty” ”He’s a mass murderer and detrimental to society” ”Yeah but some bloke on the internet says we can’t say it with 100% certainty despite all evidence so we we must acquiesce” ”He’s got us there. What a guy.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
