Obligated is generally considered an Americanism not used in formal British English, where we use obliged. But like so many others, we are slipping into using it more often.

My opinion is that he has enough money (bragging on Twitter about being down to his last 20m) not to need to do this. Unfortunately, the more money people have, the more interested they become in it.

The team certainly looks a lot stronger than this time last year. Fantastic team.. if it was 2010.

If we are a “soulless corporate entity”, that is blooding our own players and selling the cream of the crop on for massive profits, ergo ensuring sustainability, while the Rent Boys get passed like a used w**k sock to another charlatan whose “wealth” is small potatoes (possibly literally) and are managed by a truly horrible waste of skin - then all good. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Translation: "We are owned by two moderately wealthy Arabs, one of whom was a Chelsea fan, but couldn't afford to invest in the PL so took the bargain bucket choice, the other one until recently couldn't find Bristol on a map. You are owned by a Bristolian billionaire and have a ground that looks like a 21st Century one, as opposed to ours that looks like a 1960s one, crossed with a bomb site, crossed with a derelict funfair from Scooby Doo. Therefore, I am jealous." Both clubs are owned by corporate entities. The red one is big and professional enough not to make a continual laughing stock of itself. Do you honestly not find Barton's recent social media strops and your PR department's comparison of joining Roverzz with booking a berth on the Titanic funny? 4 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to stir things up further, but opposition managers have commented on our ability to create an atmosphere and get behind our team. Both Steve Evans and Derek Adams have said this, along with others. Even at Twerton, we created an atmosphere, got behind the team and turned it into an intimidating place to play. In contrast, I remember Gary Johnson attempting to create an atmosphere at your ground by encouraging your fans to 'bounce around the ground'.

You could only dream of having an owner like Lansdown, with our views, values and any sort of morality at the polar opposite of Rovers. I would much rather be a corporate borefest professional football club then a club ran like it's 1937, on and off the pitch. Nice to see you have completely stepped over my mentioning of your two woman beaters currently employed by your club. If your proud to not be "boring" because your club lacks any sort of morality then that says a lot about you as a person. You could have the best season ever next season, I truly couldn't care less. You are only known as a football club because you employ a convicted criminal and a wife beater.

The second being pretty special - I was right behind it. That 4-2 was something of a collector's item, wasn't it? One of the reasons your lot repeatedly folded at Trumpton was because they couldn't handle the atmosphere and the novelty of playing in an environment where the fans get behind their team. Also right behind your sister at the same time. Multi tasking. Fair play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I'm inclined to take his judgement over yours. Hill made it clear why he was playing a team of rookies and indeed had actually managed to get points playing with them. And I'm inclined to agree with Steve Evans, a man who's been in around the game longer then you have and would know something smells when he sees it. Pure corruption.

To be honest 99% of the posts you have made are at best pathetic. However, to use Steve Evans to back up your belief that you lot create an atmosphere is truly astounding. Then you bring up Trumpton. It wasn't even your ground and it wasn't intimidating, it was just shite and not unlike the Mem. At least Trumpton had 4 sides to I suppose. I used to get the impression your team was beaten before they stepped out onto the pitch at Twerton... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure corruption. Evans was caught and punished for doing things he shouldn't have done. This doesn't make him an authority on corruption in the game.

Bragging about being the biggest and wealthiest club in Bristol, suggesting they all wave fivers at Morecombe fans in the next match. The mask really slipped. As the Man City fan said to the Gashead, we are everything they want to be. They’ll never have their spiritual home back though. Refer back to my earlier comments. I have made it clear that I dislike big money and that I especially dislike people who brag about having lots of money. Unfortunately the loadsamoney mentality has permeated football, to the point where people see big finances as something to boast about.

You had a reasonably good team back then, that’s the reason our record against you was not the best. Its nothing to do with the laughable suggestion that Twerton park was some kind of mini version of the Ali Sami Yen, a frightening place to visit or the feeble atmosphere created by the 4-5k blue few that could be bothered to travel down the road from East Bristol and honk the word “shithead” every time one of ours touched the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has expressed contrition for his past actions and shown a willingness to reform. Barton isn't the first footballer to serve time, and he won't be the last. The actual issue for me is that he has not expressed remorse or contrition for his past actions. As I recall, one of your players played with a tag, didn't they? You also no doubt cheered on Steve Brooker and Dave Partridge. Why are you even here? 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
