Nothing to do with us. He was searching for something illustrative to say and came out with an unfortunate word, that's all. If he'd said Tin Pot United we wouldn't see the Torquay fans grizzling. Um hardly the same is it, unfortunatly for him his mouths about 3 seconds quicker than his brain. thats five minutes quicker than most of the csf

We are rag ass rovers so what's the problem? I doubt he was taking a direct swipe at us cos in the time he's been manager of them he won't have experienced the rivalry. I like his interviews though, no matter how much success he brings them, the sheds I know cringe whenever he opens his mouth.

The sad truth is that far from riling us I doubt Steve Cotterrill gives us a single moment's consideration. Personally I'd love it if the Bristol City manager took pot shots at Rovers but that's not the reality anymore. We are irrelevant - if anything Cotterrill might be annoyed he gave that impression because he probably sees us a potential backup option should it go wrong somewhere down the line. The dynamic that City are going for this days is Forest - Notts County. I think some people don't realise the implications of how far we have fallen. The last time I can remember a genuine potshot at Rovers in the open was when Lansdowne lost it in the press over our promotion to League 1 taking the shine of City's promotion to the Championship. I loved that but I'm afraid we are a long way off right now.

Sorry but when I read this stuff it comes across like an annoying little brother desperately trying to get an older brother to pay attention to them and getting very excited if they rise to it. It doesn't make me happy - it makes me depressed. We're not disliked by City fans anymore so much as we are an easy target to poke fun at.
