Isnt it relative. I dont know many happy to be in the 4th division, but by the same token we are fairing better in this division so far than we have for many a year. We are in a reasonable position in the league and.one where we can challenge for the play offs with the other inconsistant 4th division teams Perhaps the Plymouth manager should be sacked after todays result? Are we really fairing any better, or just started a bit better than in recent season's? Under MM, in his first season, & JW, until Gow was injured, we were a mid table team and that's what we are at present. If we can't put at least 2 results together we'll never mount a Play Off challenge, the January transfer activity will now define our season as the present squad does look up to mounting a Play Off challenge. |

Maybe, but I feel more confident in us under Clarke and at.least feel we are trying to build something on the field and at least have a manager who is hungry and trying to go somewhere |

Common sense points of view like this will get you banished. |

Last week it was suggested by some that if we switched our home and away form round people would be happier.
Well we won at home and lost away, is everyone happy - of course not!
And we now have a thread that looks like it's going the way of many others on this board.
Not saying posters are right or wrong but it does get a bit tedious.
What have the Romans ever done for us - starts of funny and fresh but soon becomes boring.

Just back from the game.
Pretty sure their first goal was offside. The lino was consistently awful throughout the game, but it was our bad luck that we stopped and they scored.
Before we recovered our composure, we were 2-0 down. One of our players (McChrystal?) failed to make a challenge, and their guy scored a sensational goal (it should be up there for Goal of the Day).
Thereafter we had lots of possession, many corners, but not many occasions when we tested the keeper.
The penalty was clear - they had no complaints. Bodin turned the full back inside out and he left his leg out for Billy to trip over.
Too little, too late.
MOM - Bodin - the only one who looked as if he could get us back in the game.

Pretty sure their first goal was offside. RadBris said the same, although none of the Rovers players appealed/protested, and they suspected that that might be a tell |

Your rose tinted glasses wearing view is admirable but to say that's building something, fk me I would love to see what you're building? It seems like it's made of sand mate. First stage of rebuilding is admitting reality. |

Don't understand why anyone would want to interact with a BCFC supporter who has nothing better to do than come on the Gas website.
I can't say that I have ever wanted to go on to theirs - the thought of it makes me feel a little unclean.
Just ignore him!
Moving on:
I see that Chesham United lost 2-0 today - to the mighty Rovers.
PAULTON ROVERS!!!!

We were by far the better team today. I went corporate with a load of neutral fans and they all agreed that if we'd scored before half-time we would have gone on to win the game. The Crawley fans around ne thought we were the better side too. Its just one of those things - one silly goal, one freak goal and that was it. Sure, we could have been a lot better in the final third but Crawley knew what they had to do to see the game out and they did it well. The other thing is the Crawley fans were full of praise for Sincs who never stopped running and they were amazed that we didn't feed Browner more in the second half- in fact at one point when he finally did get the ball they cheered with no little irony!.

Absolutely spot on, that exactly how I saw it, wreckless. One point to add....bodin def handballed it on build up to his foul. Right in front of the arguably worst linesman I've ever witnessed. Because he was consistently awful we exploited him second half because Brown was def offside at least once, but in true Rovers fashion, we couldn't capitalise on it! |

The trouble with this discussion is that within gasheads there is a spectrum. At one end there are those who expect a 5-0 win each week and teams like Crawley should be easily turned over and at the other end there are those wanting to consolidate our position in Division 4, especially after a promotion, and build for the future realising defeats like Crawley's is all part of that process. Supporters are spread between the two ends and so we get the arguments/debates.
(Of course there are many who will support Rovers whichever league they are in, but even within those leagues the spectrum will exist.)

Coupled with the fact there are those supporters who just raise their poisonous heads when we lose and return to their bitter,twisted hovels when we win. These people are not supporters. These people have a gripe with one section of the Football Club,certain board members, and crucify everything Rovers in the process. They know the shambles what Is Rovers but just need their scapegoats when the Rovers lose. If I were them,thank f**k I am not, then I would not see any reason to bother with Rovers. God help all that are unfortunate enough to be their nearest and dearest! I respect and give my sympathies to you. |

God help all that are unfortunate enough to be their nearest and dearest! I respect and give my sympathies to you. I do not think we should go into the old argument of what makes a 'supporter' it's counter-productive and divisive. The fact that they come out and comment shows they care in some way and I would put them closer to the wanting promotion end of the spectrum. Yes some people are rather blinkered and continuously vent their spleen in the direction of NH, DC, the bod, Watola, the price/quality of the catering etc and others may find that irritable, but in some way they remain involved within the club. I would much rather have a moaner (it's human nature after all) in the stands, than to see them walk away. |
