A few weeks ago I think we all said that Dover was going to be our hardest game didn't we? I think Barnet will feel worse after all they could only draw against a team that we beat easily

FOR F**KS SAKE YOU NEGATIVE BELL ENDS!! Get a grip. Yes, it was an absolute stinker to concede late on and I am gutted about it. However, before kick off this would have been an acceptable position to find ourselves in come 4.45 tonight. Next Saturday is going to be great. If we go a fee goals up early on, Barnet will bd under a lot of pressure, Gateshead will give em a game. Come on guys, stay positive!!

Christ, I'm gutted that we lost out on automatic promotion. No surprise there I suppose.
The only thing that did shock me a bit was that the season ended today. I thought we still had one more game left. Must have been wrong there. I'll join the family hearse once I've got my funeral clothes ironed.

Remember last season. Second last game of the season we all thought we had done enough. Then on the last day we screwed up up right proper. Spoiled the day a touch. If the results had held for us today, we would have been in the same position again. Over confident or struggling with the pressure of expectation. = doomed. Now Barnet can ride that s**tty wave, whilst we can enjoy our last game of the season, expecting nothing and with a slight hope of more. Looking forward to the playoffs, which I feel is reasonable for how the season has unfolded. Enjoy next weekend Gasheads, with cheer, joy and hope. And with a firm focus on the final mad dash to Wembley.

Yep, come on lads and lassies, keep yer peckers up, whilst it's still not in our hands to win it (by the way it wasn't today either) we still have one more game to go but we HAVE to win.

No matter what, nothing ever runs for us. On a day those swine who burned down our ground, chased our players off, the most fickle, nasty hooligans not deserving of the success that fat fool buys them won their league (led by a borderline simpleton), we have to endure this s***. No confidence we will go up in playoff after they bottled it today. Cant hold on to 1-0 at Dover. I'm not looking forward to Alfreton, guaranteed Barnet go up as champions. Barnet. Barnet are better than us. Just goes to show how stupid this game is, we've stood by this club and we get nothing. The armchair army over the river get yet another promotion. This club is useless, I regret I ever started going. This season was the big chance, could be 20 years we are down here. Some of you will be dead by this time we get back. When will we ever even be a league below city? 2050? had enough almost. Not expecting anything but the same s*** now, I'll go but my heart isn't in it. Football is too cruel. jog on you twat! Go and spend next season down with those inbred **** south of the river! Rovers haven't and probably never will be a (winning club) but we are a loyal bunch of supporters who have to stick together and continue to support the club through whatever league we are in cause if not there won't be one for much longer! Shame on you

Barnet drawing gave us the gateway to go up as champions next week, and we failed, again. One shot on goal against a very average conference team. Chris Lines walking off shaking his head summed it up. I have had my doubts about Clarke and this game confirmed them. Terrible, rubbish.

Thing is Oldie: Yes we missed a chance (as a brief period of time allowed us to be drawn into that way of thinking), but most Gas had written Kiddie off before a ball was kicked. So we had the harder fixture. As it happens, we are exactly where we were before the match started.....one might say a little better off as I believe we have the easier fixture next week. And as for anyone thinking teams are on holiday so should be walk in the park: Watch Grimsby v Wrexham on youtube! Laughable defending from a team 3rd in table against middle placed opposition at home. Anything can happen next week. Win, lose or draw we are in play offs, but you just never know.....Barnet can easily lose the title. They've lost 5 on own ground and are not invincible. Pressure has a funny effect.....who knows what might happen?

Agreed, only one man lost us that game. Where was Dawson? Where was Leadbitter? Leadbetter seemed to come of age in his last two matches, so he gets dropped??? Why did one of our recent consistent scorers go off to be replaced by a player who has scored what?

So guess the question is - how does DC motivate them now? If we are deflated they must be as well. Does he drop Puddy for a GK who has done similar things this season? (I know that's two questions but what the heck!) pick any GK you like and tell me he never made a mistake - watch Reading v Arsenal yesterday as a good example pick any man anywhere and tell me he never made a mistake - look in the mirror did he make a mistake?

It's a conspiracy. The BOD want promotion via the play offs for the money a Wembley final will bring. Whilst deep down I don't believe it, but during moments of being pi55ed off, that thought keeps surfacing. The same could be said about Barnet after they have handed us the chance to go ahead of them three times at the business end of the season and we haven't taken it. Another theory is that the odd player may fancy a nice payday and a good day out at Wembley to end the season. In any other league we'd be promoted in second place by now. For me, DC's tactics and team selection away from home have been far too cautious for some games, resulting in too many draws. He's given too much respect to mediocre teams. He gets it right at home and the players respond. They're more fluid going forward when Leadbitter plays. I think he would have made a difference yesterday with the forward line he chose. As it was, Brown had too much responsibility for getting in crosses, which he's not exactly excellent at. Where was Dawson yesterday? Some say he disappears during matches but players with a pinpoint cross like him can turn a game in a flash. DC definitely tinkers too much. To win a league you have to find a winning formula and stick with it and he hasn't found one for away games. He's found a drawing formula based on a solid defence and midfield sloggers. Having said all this it'll be just like Rovers to pip Barnet next week anyway, which would prove that Barnet wanted Wembley the most.

I feel your pain Controversial, I too am gutted right now. To have destiny in our own hands going into the last game of the season with only minutes to go in this one, and then an individual error costing us those 2 precious points. BUT, Gateshead (although with nothing to play for, already guaranteed a top half finish) might get something out of their game AND Alfreton (with survival to play for depending on Welling, ooh the glamour) might not. The perfect storm in terms of results on the last day of the season sent us crashing out of the FL72 last term, here's hoping the perfect storm of results in our favour this term sends us back next Saturday. UTG. Please rearrange - straws, at, clutching. But we can only hope. Maybe be we only need to be "in a promotion place" for "70 minutes" we were for 24 minutes yesterday

But none of that explains why Puddy dropped a cross and cost us a vital victory? You do wonder if somebody put a curse on Rovers the day NH took over if we don't go up this season!

Why did one of our recent consistent scorers go of to be replaced by a player who has scored what? What a load of tosh.firstly we didn't lose that game,secondly Harrison was struggling which is why he was replaced,and although I agree Balanta was not the ideal replacement I would have brought on Leadbitter to add extra man in defence.can you imagine how the Reading keeper is feeling today after playing brilliantly yesterday and makes just one,albeit costly,error.

Gateshead away record W..7 D..9 L..6 Not too shabby
However, since March 1st, not so good
Played 7, W..1 D..3 L..3
The 3 away losses were at Woking, Braintree and Dover which suggests they don't travel to the SE very well. 2 of the 3 draws were at Grimsby and Halifax, which shows they can do a job against decent sides - but only if reasonably close - the other draw was against 2nd from bottom Dartford
The win was at relegated Telford so not really relevant. Their last away win against anybody decent was at Wrexham - in August!!

Hurts alot that result yesterday, you should never try and defend a one goal lead. Gutted we could have it been us in the driving seat going into next weeks game, but at least there is still chance. I'll be off to church now...

I'm with "controversial" (not with everything said, but the general tone). His rant is closest to summing up how I felt leaving the ground yesterday - blasting out Radiohead's "The Bends", shouting "f**king hell" and banging my head on the steering wheel. Yes - possibly I do need anger management. Why did we play hoof ball for 89 minutes? We had, I recall, 2 passages of play where we kept it on the floor and played decent passing football. The terrace could see that this worked. Why can't the players or DC? Why did we persist on hoofing it to a bambi-like Blisset? When we were 1-0 up why oh why oh why did we sit back and try and defend it? I've been watching the Gas for 25 years and we have NEVER EVER EVER defend a 1-0 advantage with any confidence. Dover were p*ss poor and we should have romped this in the last 20 minutes and gone top of the league. I had this vision - watching the Gas beat Alfreton and winning the title at home, to wipe away the pain of lasts seasons tragic relegation. Instead DC took off our only consistent goal-scorer and put on the Balanta. DC too cautious and defensive. AGAIN. Puddy f*cked up. But we shouldn't have invited their late pressure and give them a chance to sneak an equalizer. Still f*cked off and still angry. It was like condensing the feelings of the Wycombe and Mansfield game into about 10 minutes. You're elated and up - and then your stamped back down to earth. Crushed like a bug in the ground. Yes - I'll be there vs Alfreton. Might have cheered up a bit by then. And if anyone wants to doubt my loyalty - don't get me f******g started.
