This afternoon we witness a Gas masterclass on how to win a football game in style.
Forget League Two, we had goals this afternoon that would have been fit for a World Cup final.
Aaron Collins with the right foot curler from the edge of the box.
Elliot Anderson with a perfect reproduction of the Ricky Villa goal for Tottenham in the 1981 FA Cup Final.
Aaron Collins with the cheekiest of chips over the keeper.
Gas heaven.
We also witnessed football being played the right way. I cannot enthuse enough about how well we passed the ball around. Lovely one touch possession football. I am of course ignoring the first 20 minutes when we played as strangers.
We have the makings of a REALLY GOOD Bristol Rovers team here. Defensively solid, a creative midfield with bite and a classy striker who is full of confidence.
It is difficult to pick out individual players as the whole team contributed to the result. It was an excellent team performance. What a player Elliot Anderson is though. Classy, hardworking and effective. Aaron Colins was a pleasure to watch today, the guy is on fire. Loved the little boxing celebration down by us in the South West stand. We certainly knocked the stuffing out of Harrogate Town, that's for sure.
I also love Luca Hoole. Effective and solid defensively, with some nice creative touches and excellent distribution. Taylor and Connolly were rock solid as always. Finley was everywhere and the heart of everything. Outstanding performances throughout the team.
We started nervously, something we seem to do quite a bit, and something we need to avoid when we meet the big boys in the next few weeks. Harrogate could easily have nicked a goal or two at the start, with some dangerous crosses fizzing across our box. As in recent games, by the midway point of the first half we took control, scored two goals and never looked like conceding let along losing the game.
Belshaw got a really good welcome by the Harrogate fans as he ran over to his goal at the start of the second half. Good to see the respect.
The third goal killed the game as a contest, and for once we could all sit back and enjoy a game of football with no drama...
A big home crowd, festival atmosphere (loved the band before the game - nothing better than walking into the ground with the Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Foo Fighters. Happy days!), dominant performance, wonder goals. This afternoon had everything.
It sure feels good to be a Gashead right now. I am loving it!
Another season high league position of 8th, just outside the playoffs on goal difference only. We are only three points off second place!
(Going) Up The Gas!

I'd stay well away from the boozers on the Gloucester Road tomorrow evening if the last outing was anything to go by. Head straight in to town and get yer quota there. A few of my mates were refused entry to one establishment after the X-Zedder game with the reason being given of "Sorry, we are not allowing any more 'Middle Aged Men' in, laughable if not so discrimetary ! What is a x-zedder game ? Those red and white stripey fellows from over St James’s Park way although I reckon you might of known that 😜 |

That was mint today. We absolutely destroyed them after the first, nervy 20 minutes. Easily deserved at least a 3 nil win and we are going to finish in the top 3 or 4 this season.
That second goal was a thing of beauty, as was Collins' dink over the keeper for his second goal.

Stats - BRFC 3 Harrogate 0 - 62 % - 38 % - Shots 12-11 - On Target 4-2 - Corners 5-5 - Fouls 8-14 - Yellows 3-1 - Reds 0-0 - Referee Darren Drysdale - Attendance 7,884
Match Report:
Brilliant first-half goals from Aaron Collins and Elliot Anderson set play-off hopefuls Bristol Rovers on course for a 3-0 win over Harrogate at the Memorial Stadium.
Having been second best for the first half-hour, the home side struck twice in thrilling fashion before the break, Collins finding the top corner with a 25-yard drive to open the scoring in the 33rd minute.
Six minutes later on-loan Newcastle youngster Anderson produced a mazy dribble into the Harrogate box, taking on several defenders before shooting low past Mark Oxley.
Collins then wrapped up the points when he made it 3-0 with his second of the match in the 55th minute, coolly chipping over Oxley after intercepting a poor pass from Rory McArdle.
Harrogate failed to make the most of early pressure, which saw Rovers' former Town goalkeeper James Belshaw save from Brahima Diarra, later forced off by a first-half injury, and Warren Burrell.
Rovers boss Joey Barton earned a yellow card for dissent to the fourth official, but saw his side control the second half and emerge comfortable winners.
Both sides missed late chances, with Oxley saving well from Rovers substitute Harvey Saunders.
