Any chances of your lot getting behind the team for 90 minutes is a distant memory these days.

After the circus running your club got rid of one of the ends.

Maths - 13,464 > 20,351

Geography - Iran isn't in the Middle East

Human geography - Middle Eastern women all like having to wear hijabs

Law - A drunken fracas with nightclub bouncers is worse than assaulting two women, or beating up your wife and beating up a random taxi driver because you're annoyed with the wait at McDonalds

Business - UK-registered Bristol Sport is a tax-avoiding corporate entity, whereas Jersey-registered Dwane Sports isn't. 

Moral philosophy - An aside in a press interview made by a former manager is embarrassing, piping in clapping noise isn't

Engineering - Having a modern stadium = soulless; having a three-sided ramshackle dump = character 

History - Last time BRFC beat BCFC at Ashton Gate - 27 years ago; Last season BRFC had larger crowds than BCFC circa 65 years ago; Last time BRFC were in a division above BCFC - 49 years ago; last time BRFC were in a league position in the same league above BCFC - 23 years ago.

Certainly makes you wonder, doesn't it?  It isn't just the prison term: there's a long history stretching back to the "cigar in the eye" incident. 

Maybe, like Johnson Sr did here, Joey will recruit a family member who played a bit of football in his youth, and will fit in with the prevailing ethos at the Mem and has recently become available?

One of my sons plays youth rugby and as I understand it us parents aren't even allowed to help out with any drills during coaching sessions. You either get yourself passed as a coach or you just watch from the side and talk about the price of fish with the other parents.

I don't understand how I, with nothing but a parking ticket in about 1989, can't tie another child's boot laces in front of 50 people but a football coach is allowed to carry on with a history of violence. Is it just a player age thing? Or are we back to 'well he served his punishment and that is that'?

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

See last season Rovers had some youngsters on the bench at times. They have now got a first team squad of 28 players to fill a match day squad of 18. Not much of a pathway for the younger players they have.

They are having a go this season, almost a win or bust situation.

Didn’t have a great record there but it certainly wasn’t because of the 47 mute swans in the “Popular Side” (an oxymoron if ever there was one!)

However, once you were ensconced in the Pisspoorial we quickly took you apart three times there inside a calendar year.

But like I say, once you dragged your rotting carcasses back to the city we quickly rectified that poor record.

And re: Mr. Beadle, he came back to haunt you big style in a later derby - to date the last league one were you good enough to play us. He was sensational that night and changed the game after Gash thug Robbie Pathetic crocked Lee Peacock. I worked with a Slaggie in Yorks at the time and it ruined his Xmas, not helped by me singing “Watch out, Beadle’s about” every time I bumped into him in the corridor.

So what was it? A footballing lesson or intimidating atmosphere? You flit from pillar to post yet again in a vain attempt to retain any credibility here.

Just face it - I reckon every single poster who has responded to your repeated jibes, lies, insults and inaccuracies here thinks you are a dick. I certainly do.

To start with you probably provided some entertainment value. Now it's just tiresome, yet you still continue to pursue it.

We went up too. And Don’t forget the second part where we hammered the final nail in the scum, overdrawn and quartered peasants’ relegation coffin in Apr ‘93. You’ve not had a whiff of the second tier since, aside from a hilarious playoff capitulation to Northampton in ‘97. Edit - 98, sorry.

I like a good analogy but it is a struggle to nail our friendly visitor with one.

The best I can come up with is:-

You buy a well deserved new red car after working hard all your life. Your neighbour comes round and rather than discuss the merits of the new car, they instead only want to remind you of the crap car you had 30 years earlier when you first moved in. In fact, the same type of car that they are still driving today, though in blue.

It is essentially, just envy, wrapped up in a deflection technique where they discuss anything to get off the subject at hand. We should nod gracefully and let them get back to their missing bodywork (or the permission to buy it).

No offence to any City fans with a blue car....!

A renewed sense of purpose is running through Bristol Rovers. I can certainly feel it as well in the positive vibes from many on gas chat. The prospect of glory, promotion and possibly champions is certainly worth thinking about.

Our squad, strengthened seemingly every week, have returned to the training pitch with a fire in their bellies that's unmistakable as seen in our recent performances.

Joey Barton's passion is infectious and clearly attracts top players. We can be confident about the future. There's an aura of determination and unity around this club that's the hallmark of any footballing success.

A winning culture is being forged, and for those of us who've stood by Rovers through thick and thin, this feeling is as precious as silverware.

The whispers of hope are growing louder, not only within the stands but within gaschat. Our Dreams, long held in check, are converging with the reality of what our club can achieve. No longer looking down but looking up to the future.

Joey Barton has nurtured a spirit that is seen in of champions, and our style of play is imbued with the same energy, the same hunger that defined the great teams of yesteryears.

This season, the road to promotion is in front of us. The bus is here, as it has been since 2011, ever hopeful, waiting for us to climb aboard and carve our name in the annals of Bristol Rovers football history.

For me, I am daring to dream of the unattainable - To be Champions - the ground-breaking goal. Like everyone, I’ll take promotion in anyway.

With the right mindset and the talent in our squad anything is possible.
