No class?
So the Cotterill remark of 'Some rag ass Rovers outfit' when Sheffield stuffed you at home last season. Or Landsdown's comment when we got relegated 'No-one will be talking about Bristol Rovers anymore' or the fact he's spent a massive amount of money on those pathetic, lame-ass billboards with the moniker 'Two teams in Bristol' as in the other being Rugby bullshit? No class. Take a long hard look at yourselves.........
The difference between me and you Gandy is that I don’t see criticism of my manager and then rush out to say “OH MY GOD BUT SOMEBODY ELSE DID SOMETHING BAD!!!!”.
Clarke has zero class. You could see that when he was in a pub chanting “we are going up” just before you played Grimsby. Classless and disrespectful.
You could see he has no class when he goes onto the radio and asks what the City score was before saying “happy days”. Clarke has no history at all with City, he is not from Bristol and we haven’t played you with him as manager, why does he care?
The answer is he is desperate to be “one of you” and ingratiate himself with the fans. It is rather pathetic but maybe understandable after he relegated you from the football league and only got you out of it with a lucky penalty shootout win.
Remember though that I said there was a difference between me and you? Because thinking Clarke has no class doesn’t mean I think Cotterill does. I like him as a manager, especially after last season, but he is pretty classless when it comes to interviews after a game.
Having said that, I don’t think Cotterill was talking about you with his “ragass rovers” comment, it’s debatable whether he meant your lot or not, but I don’t think he did. He is a twat a lot of the time though.
I can find no trace at all of Lansdown ever saying that “nobody will be talking about Rovers”. Maybe he did, can you link me up?
The adverts saying “two teams in Bristol” etc are embarrassing. It’s obviously a dig at your lot and not something I particularly support, it’s fine as banter between fans, embarrassing when the actual clubs are doing it.
That’s the difference Gandy, I am happy to talk about my own clubs failings, whereas you desperately try to deflect attention away by bringing up an unrelated matter and never admitting to your own club failings.
Edit:
And how come you got rid of the #shitheadwankers part of your post? Did you remember that this isn't Twitter?
