I just 'said' what. All theory.He can't get players to play his style. A new Manager would almost certainly do better. Care to bet,? Whatever style a manager wants unless he can get the team playing it,he will struggle. Waels decision to go 'passing game',is one thing,but I assume we're supposed to pick up a few points now and again too. As I 'said',there will be passing game Managers out there,but simply put,better at it than BG. It’s hard arguing against people when you respect their opinions so much, and can see their point of view. But so early into this season there are other considerations still in play too. I won’t come over Trump and say there is a silent majority opposed to sacking him, but there is likely a lot of fans, including the Chairman, who don’t add what happened last season to what has so far happened this season, Ben coming in halfway through, with remit to play a different style, unfortunately taking compassionate leave, and the covid curtailing the season. And then a close season when the squad was transformed, more youthful now, though clearly some talent and potential. All those calling for the sack today, if you had reset the counter to the start between seasons, would you still be calling for the sack today? Garner is absolutely f**king sh*te. End of.

What a rubbish effort from Hanlon, with that good chance he had. About as much natural killer instinct as a kitten.Reminiscent of Nicholls,who by the way scored yesterday. your deliberately provocative post is either transference or trolling? That’s literally Hardons only sight of goal in two starts! 😆. He created it from his industrious running, not provided by Garnerball. I stand to be corrected, but It was miles offside wasn’t it? The crap bbc commentator talking about everything but the actual game missed so much and was so poor, and his commentary just repeated tropes and misconceptions It looked from stream not just miles offside, but that every player on the pitch stopped playing, and their goalie took the free kick from the offside spot. . Alright Wael?

My take today was that for 70 mins we were much better defensively, and i thought we played some good football albeit a little lightweight up front'. Shipswich will almost certainly be going up this iseason, that said today they were there for the taking. However with no 'golden bullet' we are going to drop points. Hopefully we will do enough to stay out of trouble this season. Our 'golden bullet' the missing ingredient is of course eight thousand very loud Gasheads sucking that ball into the net! Please hurry up with the Bloody vaccines! UTG Well after the players ‘taking the knee’ and still having that chocolate teapot managing the team, we’d struggle to get 4500.

Blimey, you have been a busy duck, you've asked every single person in the country why they voted the way that they did, which part of each party's policy they approved of, and if they didn't vote, why that was. Yes, of course not mathematically true. Those who could be arsed to exert themselves between the hours of 7am and 10pm on Dec 12th 2019 and go to a polling station and vote are those who I am talking about. We do not have compulsory voting as yet so that is all we can do. Labour Luvvies and Remainers are most definitely in the minority. Quite funny really.

Well, I think it’s best for my country and my children. You lot lost several times. Boring now. Who are “you lot”? What is tedious is the whining insistence from the xenophobes that we should stay silent as our country is wrecked by the stupidity, ignorance and selfishness of people like you. You’ll just have to like it or lump it that this is not going to happen and that every time the economy plunges downwards or life becomes more difficult as a result of BREXIT that people like me will remind “your lot” of this. Lots of “I told you so” moments for you to enjoy over the coming years. If it has escaped your notice, there was a General Election recently. You are in the minority so you can stop howling at the moon.

Change the record. We are out. Sadly yes. Those of us who don't think it's best for our country or our children don't need people like you telling us it's wonderful so change your record first. Well, I think it’s best for my country and my children. You lot lost several times. Boring now.

For the rich, for Little Britain Xenophobes and for morons like Milk Shake Man, Pinocchio and Little Lord Fauntleroy. For everyone else it will be an unmitigated disaster. Come back in a couple of years time and tell us if you still think its wonderful when you are paying £5 a punnet for your strawberries and when there are no horrible Europeans to care for you if you are ill or wipe your arse if you are in a care home. Change the record. We are out.

Apologies in advance for another depressing thread, for the last three miserable years, it feels that life inside the gas bubble, has been replicated on the outside with Brexit, and no sooner than the dust has settled on that, it gets replaced with bat soup flu, so there seems to be no light at the end of the tunnel. On the pitch we are thirteen points ahead of Tramere, our next three games are Sunderland, Ipswich and Peterborough. We will be lucky to grind out a point from those games , meanwhile Tramere (including game in hand) have matches against Blackpool, Lincoln, Rochdale and Wimbledon. Being on the conservative side say they pick up seven points. Tramere would have halfed the points deficit doŵn to just seven points. With two very hard away games to come at Portsmouth and Oxford our run in considerably tougher than Tramere. As it stands, if this dire run of form was to continue we could be relegated, even before the end of the season. Ironically the last match of the season is away at Gillingham who must be wetting themselves that we were the 'chosen ones' The Gas are currently 150/1 to be relegated, pretty good odds if you ask me. Conspiracy theory, when we were taken over, we all believed in 'dreams can come true' and with the general feel good factor which had attracted thousands of new fans onboard and a humourous swipe at our neighbours by singing 'City were coming for you' So what went wrong, after a lot of stalling, the training ground never got developed, the UWE Stadium a nailed down certainty inexplicably fell through and two excellent promotion pushes were halted in their tracks. All seems to be making sense now - there is now only one team in Bristol - Just saying. UTFG/STB Brexit is wonderful.

I am afraid things will actually get worse ….Sunderland, Ipswich and Peterborough will easily beat us in the next couple of weeks. It’s got to the stage I nearly don’t give a monkeys tbh the way these tossers of owners have completely ruined my club. All the momentum built up from our double promotion completely squandered

Who is being made redundant? Many of us work in a fixed term contract world, if told not to be extended makes no difference to work ethic, besides there maybe a change of heart that a renewal will come forward. Why any different for players? Sometimes think there are too many cliches in football. So we change manager and players start playing for new contracts? Still want them? Putting the semantics aside the upshot is that the players have been told categorically that they are not rated by the manager and are no longer wanted by him. Is that going to motivate someone to try harder to prove him wrong and risk a career ending injury doing so, or think “f you then, you aren’t getting another result in charge if I can help it”? Human nature suggests it’s more likely to skew towards the latter. At the end of the day Garner needs to realise that if he is going to get any improvement on his pathetic win ratio he needs the players on side. That’s before factoring in the undoubted loss of confidence that will have beset the players after going on such a terrible run. There is literally no defending the man at this point. He took over a team in 4th, has won one game and has seen a healthy gap over the relegation spots reduced to 10 points. I really fail to see how any of that can seriously be laid at the players door. Yes, they might have downed tools, but they were doing quietly nicely thank you very much before Garner turned up and pissed all over everything. It was a successful unit that Garner inherited! He rubs me up the wrong way just reading his excuses, God knows what it must be like in training every day. The bloke is typical of these idiot professional managers that commercial businesses employ straight out of grad school. No experience, talk in management speak, utterly clueless. Most mid season managerial changes in football are normally due to poor first team performance. This moron took over a team pushing for promotion off of the back of an historic away win. The bloke is an utter failure and the blame lies squarely with the idiot who owns the club. I will not be attending for a very long time, speaking as someone who cleared stones off of the pitch at Twerton Park summer of ‘86.

It appears even with the happy clappers and rose tinters the penny has dropped. Our current malaise is due to the trickle down effect coming from the top. We have a clown playing at owning a football club. He alone is solely responsible for recruiting the hopelessly incompetent Garner. God, he must have been cheap.

I believe these ‘hypothetical shares’ are the proper ones, not the share scheme sham.

Absolutely. Won’t be long before some woke bell end cries racism at any criticism levelled at the owners. Racist. Took longer than I thought.

Thank god nobody on the forum is stereotyping a particular culture or people from a particular region. Typical Bristolians. Absolutely. Won’t be long before some woke bell end cries racism at any criticism levelled at the owners.

Right, true story. I will relay this as if this hypothetically happened to me. When the Share scheme was started, I decided to invest a modest amount into the club I love, it seemed being a shareholder was a sensible route to take as it helped the club financially and I could have a limited say in how things were being managed. Spool on to the present day. I have decided to ‘cash in’ my shares and sell them to another person/entity who has said they will buy them. A couple of weeks go by, said potential recipient of shares has been told by the Clubs solicitors they are forbidden from buying them. Is this allowed? Surely they are my shares to do with as I wish? I am stuck with shares I no longer want and cannot sell. Thoughts on this please?

Also we must not forget the lovely weedfield in South Glos and a lovely upgraded bar to drown our sorrows in. The only impressive set of figures i can highlight is the breathtaking amount of broken promises and fake news! Quite a lot of what's gone off over the last few years can be explained by the different Culture issues. For example: A - Family - Center of everything ( Father has first and last word) B - Friends - Periphery, but courteous to all. C - Honor - Very important Honor will be protected and defended at all costs. D - Shame - (especially against family) - avoided at all costs insults and criticism taken very seriously. E - Time - Less rigid - Approach to time is much more relaxed and slower than in Western culture. Based solely on this I am hopeful ( in time) the Owners will deliver. NB: Well done BG, the players and the brilliant fans yesterday - UTFG Thank you for an eloquent reply. I accept the points you make about cultural differences. However, the Al Qadi’s have chosen to be part of our culture. Even worse, our culture at Rovers has to endure constant competition with our rivals across the river. When they took over, almost four years to the day, they inherited a once in a lifetime set of circumstances. We were about to achieve a double promotion. We had a young, ambitious manager who had the 100% backing of the supporters. We were all pulling in the same direction, had a real chance at reaching the same level of league football as that lot. The mood music around the take over was of a club whose dreams of a new stadium was finally going to happen. Training ground, investing in the squad, consolidation in the Championship and possible further progress. What happened? We all know the answer and for me this is absolutely unforgivable. We have all been made fools of. How on earth some make excuses for Wael and Starnes etc is beyond me. The debacle around Coughlans departure and the appointment of Garner has exposed horribly the incompetence of the fools who are the current custodians of OUR club. We have gone from nearly selling out the Mem for every home game to sub 6000 crowds in under four years. Don’t tell me yesterday’s attendance was 6300. It looked about 5000. For a business to lose 50% of its regular income stream is an unmitigated disaster, yet these fools have managed it and somehow expect us to think everything is fantastic? Zero communication as to whatever scant plans they have for the club, losing £65,000 per week, relations between Supporters Club and the Football Club at rock bottom. There is only one way this is heading and it isn’t good. An absolute disgrace and a bleak time in the clubs long history.

‘Long term view’. Hmmm. Can anyone show me any commitment to the club from the owners beyond the end of this season? I dunno, a plan? A strategy? I’d suggest Garners remit is to keep us at this level, that’s it. Coughlan success was a big problem for the owners because it raised expectations massively amongst the supporters. Could you honestly see these clowns funding a play off/promotion bid?
I have not felt as negative towards my club like I do now. Supported since 1975. A shambles from top to bottom and heading headlong into administration.
