Bristol Rovers thread
 

With the two new lads unavailable and five ourt injured will probably be same 18 could this be time for fresh legs of the bench with three games in eight days my choice:-
Baxter.
Barclay. Hughes. Nottingham.
Rodgers. Pritchard. Conneelly. Butcher. Uwakawe.
Charles. Smyth.

Subs:-. Savin. Burgess. Bishop. McConville. Russell. Scully. Fenlon.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

that side looks ok to me.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Conditions should be interesting Cashy... wish we were there instead of in front o't fire nestled down on't Settee !... :rolleyes:

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

I wouldn't play Dion alongside Paul.
Their instincts are too similar.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Not too sure about Rogers!

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

to be honest dont give a stuff who plays slong as we get 3 pts

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Just thinking Colby could do with resting the legs looked a touch off the pace Saturday.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Was excellent before hurting his back.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

What's the weather like up there ? Do I invest me tenner or are you likely to be under a ton of snow - weather map a bit vague.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Would play Colby personally, but do agree we need to change things....

Bringing Smyth on with 30 to go and being 3 goals to the good will be a better option ;)

:) :) :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Thawed out up here but always wise to wait until an hour before kick off before paying

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

I,m on my way boots tucked under arm.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Been trying that for years Andy. When I hit 77 last month I vowed not to give Coley any more chances to discover me - suspect he's one of these ageists.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Have you played for us before?

Do you come from Merseyside?

If you cannot answer yes to either/both of the above, then you have been wasting your time for the last 70+ years :D

:) :) :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Same starting 11 same subs just trudging back home boots thrown over hedge.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Just put IFollow on lot of water on camera and looking like a lot of bodies on pitch hope this goes ahead.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Ref looked at pitch once looking again in 15 minutes whatever happens delayed kick off if goes ahead not looking good.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Post of the month already.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Second pitch inspection at 6-45 ground staff and management team currently shifting slush off pitch to get game on have to say I,ve seen it played on in a lot worst condition come on ref get it on.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

If game is off is that your match pass used Andy

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

It looks bad to me, forecast is terrible.... will it finish, if it starts??? :(

:) :) :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Hope not....

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Who's the Ref Magnus I started so i'll finish

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Nice one


:D :D

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Game on fantastic efforts go have a rest Mr.T you look knackered

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

7:30 Kick off :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

C'mon STANLEY, get into them.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

IFollow showing 19:30 ko.
Well done to all those involved of this go ahead.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Including Bristol Rovers staff and officials well done.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Music in the ground is sounding very loud over ‘I player’!:help:

Perhaps they think the ‘vibrations’ will help to disperse the water on the pitch!:130::s_splash:

COME ON YOU REDS!:theband:

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Can someone give the camera lens a bit of a wipe please!

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Thank the Lord for that - saved us a complaint from Somerset

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

The camera needs a windscreen wiper!:eek:

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

I have the hose already to go, poised nicely above Tomatoes.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

1-0 Pritchard

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

YESSSSSSSSSS......Good stuff.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Football class on this pitch why not.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

1-1 crap

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

STRUTH....I blinked and both sides score. !!!!

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

2-1 charles:)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

2-1 Charles

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Blimey, sounds more like ice hockey!
Are they wearing skates?

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Right-nipping down to shop...hope not behind upon return.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

3-1 charles again

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Thank goodness this game is on Charles on fire

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Another goal while I shot away,, Good stuff STANLEY.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

4-1 bishop

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Do Bishop a world of good

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

4-1!!!! We Want 5

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Whats the chances of game being abandoned?

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Stopped raining.......temporarily?

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Is there a point where if the game was abandoned, and 'X' minutes had been played,
does the score at the time stand as the official result?

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

75 minutes I think

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Cheers Andy

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Well that was a roller coaster ! Should be 7-4 !!!
Coly needs to be sensible now.
Get Nottingham off for Burgess if hes got a knock.
Get Sean off to save himself. Could easily gave been sent off. Get Rodgers on.
No need to chase anything now. Tight compact and on to the next one.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

What a good game including Bristol Rovers part in it Baxter saving 2 sure goals blow losing Butcher hopefully just tweaked a hamstring or muscle maybe being cautious with conditions, a night maybe when we see more subs.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Can we all chip in and buy the camera person an umbrella?
Otherwise, great show in atrocious conditions. Agree with 28, tighten up where possible.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

5-1 bishop

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Why we want 6

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

2 competing for match ball

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

6 !!!!, nah 7

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

...I see the 'scummers' are copying STANLEY. :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

No - had some recent ones in FA comps abandoned past 80 mins and voided, but I have known refs blow up before minimum added time but past 90, and that always counts, like when the crowd are ready to invade the pitch at FT to give the players a head start. In Uefa comps they try to restart the day after at the same score for the remaining minutes.


Not sure it Gene Kelly or George Formby would be more apt today?

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

6-1 charles hat trick

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

6-1. (yawn)...can we please have 7.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Would this be our biggest win in EFL ?

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Lovely ball from Smyth great finish for hat trick Charles goal difference is growing.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

..I'm wondering what will happen if I go water the tomatoes....I will, right now.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Nah, didn't work.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

We gone all out defence or something? WE WANT 7

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Nice one(6) STANLEY

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

What a night to remember!
They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
That was surely sweet revenge for the 2016 season, when they leapfrogged us into L1 on the very last day.
This is no dream! THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!
eee'aye eee'aye eee'aye oh!
Up the football league we go!

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

no mate its not i think gillingham at home years back was though we conceded more that game- superb tonight,:)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Think we beat Bolton 7-1 Kiwi?? :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

7-4 Cashy :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

The 4th Stanley goal looked an O.G. although the camera was shocking. Not sure if they were congratulating both Sean and Bishop just in case.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Superb display. Hats off to the ref for going ahead, and to all the snow shovelers.
Well done to the whole squad and coaching staff.
Hope no serious injuries to Butcher and Notts. Gotta keep that pressure on starting places.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Well, that was rubbish - could've kept a clean sheet lads & another couple of goals & we'd have gone above Sunderland!! :D . . . . . . . :hidewall:

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Ah of course...see we have so many that its so easily dismissed in the old grey matter...:)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Well that was a great birthday present for my sixty ninth tomorrow!:thankya:
6-1 v Brizzle City..........Just brilliant!:theband:
Thank you very much to the whole team and to all of the management and staff from both clubs who helped Buzzer to get the pitch ready and to the referee for his patience.:mosher::mosher::mosher::mosher:
Some super performances from all of our boys so I am not going to single any one player out! Efficient, hard working and ruthless with only one defensive lapse.:theband:
Although it was good to see some of our squad get a second half run out it also highlighted how injuries can possibly cause problems this far into the season. I really hope that Butcher and Nottingham are not seriously injured.
A night to remember for all Stanley supporters......:wave8:
I just wish that we could have been there in The Wham Stadium celebrating such a good result together!:theband::rose8::signbeer::drink:

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Easy choirboy, you have 70 just around the corner, blood pressure is not a good thing.. Best wishes for your birthday, what a present eh.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Hope for another win on Saturday and next Tuesday evening to celebrate my 67th on Monday, ****** the blood pressure, I'm enjoying the ride at the moment.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

if we get 9pts from these 3 home games its MAGNIFICENT in my view,we got 3 last night in very poor conditions so like the late Sir Tom im optimistic.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Thought the pitch held up very well last night began to cut up towards the end Buzzer and his helpers will be working hard this week to handle 2 more games in 7 days.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Think the squad is performing well all the subs looked good when they came on especially Smyth looking very lively, 2 new lads to see yet and 5 players hopefully to be fit for the run in later.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Sorry Ross out for season so 4 players hopefully to play a part of back from injuries.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

We had 36 points after 20 games in season 15/16.
Just saying.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

in div 2

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

actually i,m quite relaxed and just enjoying it. no fears of going down so every single win is now a bonus for me. if we do it we do it , if we miss out it aint for trying. who expected this anyway at the start of the season anyway.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

i expected to finish top half this season but certainly not above that im delighted. whatever occurs now.:)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Captain apologises to Rover's fans:
https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news...emmer-apology/

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

to me he had no need at all to apologise bristol played well first half but could not finish, many times thats happened to us,

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

The unwritten message in that article is still “big clubs like us shouldn’t be getting thrashed by a little club like Accrington Stanley”. :tongueout

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

i think he was just crawling cos they got bounced imho

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Here’s a “what if” moment ...

What will he write if we thrash them again on 9th March?

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Spot on mate!!!! :)

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

Soft ass got beat get on with it.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

As if he composed that ......... club statement covered by Captain's sig.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

According to that letter the result was entirely down to The Gas’s poor performance. But, as Cashy wrote, they weren’t that bad.
At least Professor Coleman is decent enough to acknowledge when the opposition are better.
Still think it rankles particularly deep in the psyche of some fans (and maybe some owners, if 28 is right) of certain clubs when Stanley beat them.

Re: Bristol Rovers thread
 

“Accrington Stanley, Who are they?” :hititbana
