Snufflelufagus Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I fail to see the relevance that of mentioning the man assaulted was a 'Bristol City fan' its just stirring up the rivalry.

Still it makes a change for the post not to sweep this under the carpet like virtually all of the sags misdemeanours.If found guilty i hope he get the same treatment ala our boys.

dazza247 Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Just wondering.........as some on the Gas site seem to be speculating that Pipe was acting innocently in defence from malicious provocation from a City fan, how many of us would actually recognise David Pipe?! Maybe those that saw the FA Cup game on the beeb might but in all honesty the pictures in the Evening post are the first time I've actually seen a photo of him. In fact I dare say I'd manage to recognise any Ro*ers players other than Coles, Phillips and maybe at a push Richard Walker only because he's got the body proportions of an oversized blimp!!!! The facts will all be revealed in the future I imagine.......but the case with Orr, Brown and Brooker dragged on for an absolute eternity so I wonder when this will all be resolved.

Why not wait until the facts come out and then they can say for sure whether or not a City fan was involved (as they do not know, at present, any more than we do).

beaverface Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Massive, massive culture change at City since GJ took over. He just won't have it, end of.My brother in law lets out a fair few properties around Clifton for some of the City players and he did quite well for one of the players last season.Few years before he'd gone in the lounge afterwards and had quite a few beers with some of the then City players and his estate agents.Last season, said player goes "sorry mate, can't do that anymore. I can get you a couple of tickets but nowadays only wives, girlfriends and parents can come in with us."Apparently at the one of the training sessions early in GJ's tenure he said "this is a professional football club not a ######ing working man's social club".Good on him, few years back it was getting out of control - I'd see City players hammered out in town about 3am regularly.Cobblers, you may not "hear" about City players being out and about, but I can assure you that a handful of them are out on a regular basis. I'm not naming names though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ashton Kate Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 He's not even been charged yet, inocent until proven guilty. If people want to bring up that it was a City supporter involved in the incident then maybe I should have posted on here about the chap who was thought to be a Gashead and payed the price by being clubbed to death over the head by a sock full of snooker balls by someone calling themselves a city supporter.I tried to start a thread on the Rovers Forum about the Gasheads point of views over the Pipe issue and had the thread deleted. IF these people WERE City fans then they are animals who I do NOT WANT associated with this club. Pipe is a professional footballer who should know that he should not be getting involved. My cousin used to play for the City and was in Broadmead one day and because he was in his Bristol City suit he was shouted and abused at by Rovers fans but he had the sense to walk away. Perhaps Pipe should have done the same. I don't think you can claim that killing a fan and assaulting a fan are the same. There is a big difference and I hope the 2 of them get locked up for life.
