Strange rumour that one when I know for a fact that Simon suffered from severe arthritis from a young age and was not allowed to drink alcohol because of his medication.another urban myth about him drinking when he only ever drank non alcoholic drinks Can anyone remember the press conference given by Phil Bater who was caretaker at the time, explaining how a "certain player"was not being selected because they missed training due to a hangover....

If he's going to improve the squad, then I works be all for it. I hate them, but if we turned it down, just because he plays for them. We would be losing out. What if it was a loan, with a view to a permanent in January,I would definitely be keen. As long as terms were agreed in advance, so they couldn't screw us, if he did well. Rubbish. Its an insult to us fans and our club. We have been this route before with Lee Matthews and Im sure someone else who's name escapes me right now. They are a better club right now,we know this and most except it.But they are not Barcelona,Real Madrid etc.. and taking loans off them as our closest rival is an insult and an embarrassment. Its like going balls deep in your best mates ex wife,and a line that should never be crossed! If we have anything to do with any transfer deals with them again be it loans or permanent deals after the snake deal I will be watered off.. That's rubbish. I said if he works improve the squad. Obviously if he wasn't better, there would be no point in signing him. Not all players want to move, especially for a loan deal, if they are settled in the area. So you are telling me, you would rather finish lower down the table, than bring in a better player, if possible. So if he was the difference between getting relegated, or staying up, you wouldn't sign him?? If JCH came from c**y, would you have signed him?? Or just let us get relegated??? Talk about cutting your nose off, to spite your face!

A better analogy would be derby borrowing forest player. Derby and Forest have been in the same league for years though. Like it or not, we’ve been below City in the league for years. I think my analogy was more accurate as it was.

This is just a guess but what if it is the Snake? Or not a U23s player, as they can just play for U23s despite not being under 23.

What did everyone do when Lee Matthews signed on loan, out of interest? I stopped going and have never come back

There has been too much history between our clubs.I had no problem signing a player from them in a permanent move before the Taylor transfer.The nature and screw job of the transfer by them over us was embarrassing.We should never deal with that club again. Signing a released player of theres Im ok with.But signing a under 23 loan player,f**k off!! Really does smack of Rag bag Rovers and isn't that what we want to change?

Didn't someone say he had played loads of games at league 1 level?? So hardly a youth player. I agree I wouldn't want to sign someone with no experience. But this sounds different to that.

I would welcome this young player with open arms and wish him all the best playing for us.
Can't understand this bad feeling towards players from that club, Fans yes because they are inbred knobheads who take pleasure in Necrophilia ( brain dead sisters )

Yes Im interested in having self pride.Your not talking about signing a proven championship,or premiership player here.Its an under 23 player from Bristol City.

I thought there was a gentleman's agreement between the two clubs not to do business with eachother again after Snakegake? You're nearly correct.
But the gentlemen were only on one side of the agreement. The other side are lady gardens.

Most loan signings aren’t proven players no matter what level they come from. But they’re still players who can improve a side and make a big difference to the success of that side. Tammy Abraham for example had played less than an hour of men’s football when City signed him on loan. He scored 23 league goals for them that season and probably kept them up. We might need someone to do the same for us this year, and if they do, I don’t care which team they come from.

Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion..
Personally I don’t care where they come from ... if they put in a shift for MY team and wear the Shirt with Pride that’s good enough for me.

Matthews was too busy watering it up at various nightclubs around Bristol, much like Simon Bryant. Strange rumour that one when I know for a fact that Simon suffered from severe arthritis from a young age and was not allowed to drink alcohol because of his medication.another urban myth about him drinking when he only ever drank non alcoholic drinks
Not true as I drank with him numerous times at Chasers and saw him in plenty of other locations in Bristol Centre off his head.

Historically players moved between the two clubs with no issues going back to Peter Hooper up to the brilliant Steve Phillips, of course these were permanent transfers as opposed to loans. I have reasons why I am against any more loans, it would be detrimental to the fringe players in our own development squads who could be forgiven for thinking they are not going to be given the chance also I believe the loan market has got out of hand and should be monitored and limited. In this case there is no way I would deal with Bristol City ,the Taylor deal was crooked, underhand, and humiliating for our club, nothing against any of the players concerned and if they were free agents ,fine no prob, but deal with them ,no thanks!

He may be part of City's under 23 squad but he's playing over 130 games for Scunthorpe.
Rovers fans in general: we need wingers, we are crying out for width.
Then a 'rumour' that winger Hakeeb Adelakun is signing from City on loan
Rovers fans in general: we shouldn't sign him under any circumstances.

Can anyone remember the press conference given by Phil Bater who was caretaker at the time, explaining how a "certain player"was not being selected because they missed training due to a hangover.... Not Simon I can assure you.i know him well and he wasnt a drinker I recall Bater named the player! I recall Si wasnt playing and supporters were having a bit of a go at Bater him for not picking him. All water under the bridge though

I disagree re the Taylor deal.Yes they tried to humiliate us,but the whole thing was quite rightly perceived by most other clubs fans as a billy big bollocks stunt and they showed their true colours like the bunch of tossers they really are.Hope we never have any dealings with them again but you can be sure the gentleman’s agreement would fly out the window if they wanted any of our players in the future.
