Introduced to him in the True Blue when I was a toddler. His sister was a secretary at the Rovers for many a year I believe. RIP Larry Lloyd Gas Legend. UTG!

Taylor loves to praise the opposition. All the opposition manager has to do is play his team talks and say “ there you go lads, he’s practically said we are better than them, a they have no confidence the shirt is heavy bla bla bla” nothing wrong with respecting the opposition but I wish the bloke would stop blowing smoke up their arse it’s starting to wind me up now. Reverse psychology. UTG!

Has anyone else noticed or mentioned before about the number of Indonesian fans of Elkan posting on our YouTube highlights? Outnumbering us and I think it's great. UTG!

If we had all the money in the world and could afford any squad, could we even get a team of eleven players, right now, born from our locale? UTG!

At work I am the regional charity co-ordinator and we raise tens of thousands for charities such as Macmillan, Mind, Cash For Kids(giving Xmas presents for families in poverty), the homeless and animal shelters. As a grandparent, my physical activity extends to giving my granddaughter a piggyback and playing horsey. The young whippersnappers from other regional office do physical challenges such as Three Peaks, abseiling, ultra marathons and Tough Mudders, so I thought what mental challenge can I do. I am sure many of you are aware of the Wallis and Gromit Wrong Trousers campaign to raise funds for Bristol Children's hospital. Well I am going one further and pledging to wear a (apologies for the bad language) City shirt (yueck!) at work AND whilst selling programmes and 50/50s AND whilst watching the Cambridge game on 16 April. I will post more details idc and hope you donate some spare monies and can show understanding (ie not shout Sheethead at me too much on the day). Mate, don’t do it. It might seem like a good idea right now but you’ll live to regret it. Sure, it’s a good cause and all but think about what you’re doing. I mean seriously… How about starting a GoFundMe or ANYTHING other than what you’re contemplating? If it’d help you out I’d send a couple of dollars just so you don’t have to lower yourself. I have a teed ‘mate’ who thought it would be good to slip on one my/our shirts when a few of us were away on holiday many years ago. It was a Jelf sponsored shirt which’ll tell you how long ago it was and the reason I can remember it so well is because I have the photo of him wearing it as my signature on every text I’ve ever sent him since I moved here to the states 24 years ago. DON’T DO IT, you’re much better than that. UTG!

Top 6 should be the aim. We’re almost top 10 now with 53 points left to play for. We are 12 points away from top 6 having played one more than the team in 6th. Too much to make up imo. We persevere and we prevail, so as long as it’s a mathematical possibility we never give up. UTG!

What's the point of this thread? Many on this site have always expressed their disdain for JB so I'm not sure what the OP wants. Let us know. Oh, and a great big Gas welcome to our new coach Matt Taylor. UTG!

Was just thinking to myself. When was the last time a Rovers manager left to move on to bigger things. Must be many years since we've had a manager leave to move onto a bigger job. Answers on a postcard to. BBC, childhood memories, London, W12 8QT DC could have but chose to stay with us. Just another reason to love the man. UTG!

Can’t remember Abramovich ever having too much to say. Maybe it’s just their way. Why not leave ‘em be and let them do their “talking” in actions and deeds? UTG!

The last time I saw Rovers play this well against Wigan was when we beat them 6-1 in 1990. Performance today much like that one. Was at that game. One Billy Ocean! Over 30 years ago? Say it ain’t so. UTG!

I live in Fort Lauderdale couple miles north of Miami. Waxy O’ Connors on 17th street has all the games and they welcome Gas ‘eads. UTG! How many gasheads do you typically get for a game? And is the owner a rovers fan or how did you swing it that they put it on the screen? I live in Vancouver Canada and I am aware of 2 other rovers fans in the city. I had an old shirt hanging in a pub but certainly nowhere here willing to show the games (granted it's a 7am kick off every Saturday for us!) The owner runs the pub very well so he’s happy to placate his customers. Being that I’ve always put meself about, and not forgetting that there’s a large British population here (mostly working in the yachting industry) where everyone knows everyone, it’s no exaggeration to say that the Rovers are a lot of people’s 2nd team and after a result like today I’ve already received many congratulatory texts. There’s so many Brits here locally in fact that when there’s a tournament on, other ex-pats will fly in from all over the country ‘til we inevitably get knocked out. The place gets rammed. UTG!
