I am indeed a long time member of OTIB for the obvious reasons you point out. Though I see no issue in posting my thoughts where relevant on more than one forum. In fact I posted relatively often sometime back on Reading's board because I live nearby. Anyway you'll not find me on threads such as that berating a guy's mother or wife. While I find Clarke to be a bit of a tool (the mob down the road comment was just stupid) and a pretty ordinary manager, I'm not likely to insult his family. I guess it's a persons taste. I'd rather talk about football. Bit like the rag ass rovers comment was stupid? In fact cotterells so thick I don't think he actually meant it!

If you had been starved of any sort of club coherence, dumped in to footballing obscurity, and robbed of all your pride....along comes a man who gets the club spirit back, wins promotion and improves again, you would idolise him. Clarke is a larger than life figure and based on record is far from ordinary.

When are you going to cause an upset then? Little club? Do little clubs bid £9,000,000 for players? Get over it man. We aren't little, we are in our rightful division again and we'll see what we can do. You might not like us, but we aren't little. Which I think you know anyway and it probably irks you. You aren't little, you aren't massive yet think you are. Truth is you are now one man's toy, one man who could very easily just give much more attention to the many other teams and sports he now has under the Bristol Sport franchise. I know, very well, a number of your old boys and I know how upset and angry they are about the clubs identity being systematically stripped. Like it or not you are just one of Steve Lansdowns pet projects and BCFC ceases to be a fans club many moons ago. Yes, you will have an updated ground to play in and use and will have money to spend but it's no longer generated by the fans and you are not a club, of its own right anymore. Everything is down to one man. Your club has been stripped of its identity and it's down to the bare bones as it is. If you are happy with that then God bless you but I wouldn't swap places with you on the basis of how you are run right now. It must sting to see it happen and be totally incapable of doing anything.

In Darrell Clarke, we have a passionate and honest bloke who himself, myself and thousands others will agree and know this man is doing a great job and Imo given us our rovers back. With our identity and pride intact, we are going places. And I for one would rather watch and support the gas through thick and thin, than listen to that cocky f**k down the road and follow that sc*m. Couldn't give a sh*t if they were playing real Madrid in the champions league final... oh...they already think they are Get found out soon and there just pop back in the woodwork. What goes around comes around UTG.

Incredible to think that the 'massive' club of '82 franchise NEVER had corporate hospitality boxes until last year!
Massive, indeed!

I cant wait for hm to be found out in the championship when they play some of the better teams. That's an excellent point. Wait til we play some of the better teams. I mean Middlesboro away. Doesn't get much easier than that one. 4 points from Leeds and Boro. Awful. Sack him I say. Well done on beating Barnet btw.... Well done on beating Luton btw............oh sorry that was us. You lost to them

Meant to say I too think DC thought he was off air when he made the 'them down the road' comment
GT had already said his thanks and goodbyes when he asked DC what results he was looking for.
Surely not the only manager who doesn't mind too much if a rival has a bad result ?

Surely not the only manager who doesn't mind too much if a rival has a bad result ? The late, great Bill Shankly was once asked what his hobbies were. His response was "looking down the league table to see where Everton are". If Everton's fans could see the humour behind that, it's a rather sad state of affairs if our over-sensitive friends south of the river find the "happy days" comment, so upsetting.

What would DC have said if the teds had won ? I reckon he knew the result and was on the wind - up

'While I find Clarke to be a bit of a tool' ..........what on earth does make SC then ....... an unconvincing track record both as player and manager imo Perhaps Cotter pin thinks that because Roy managed the 82ers in division 4 & later became England manager, he could also be in with a shout ?

Surely not the only manager who doesn't mind too much if a rival has a bad result ? That's something that's really irritating me - the teds keep misquoting him! He didn't say 'the mob down the road'! They need to wind their necks in, they're only so upset because we're getting more attention at the moment! Hence SC having to do stupid things on the radio to get noticed...
