The Gas enjoyed a significant amount of irreverent coverage on Test Match Special yesterday afternoon. The TMS team were discussing Bracey's background and his fanaticism to Bristol Rovers got a comprehensive response - (mainly sympathy!!!)

Liking the subtle homage to polkadot plates with dressing gown background...very good! I've never really thought about putting "Subtle" and "BJ" in the same sentence before Bricking it for todays game - Breakfast has already turned into a liquid lunch for me - Captain Morgan's on Toast - perfect

I have ta say, it’s a sad day here today.... Rest in peace Prince Phillip Duke of Edinburgh. He was one of my favourite Royals . A big loss , not only to th our Queen an his family , but the nation too . Fair winds, calm seas, stand easy shipmate your watch is done. We can always count on you to be the first to break the ice and reflect our inner emotions - well said BJ - it is a truly sad day. He will be a loss to the entire United Kingdom - but my special commiserations go to HRH The Queen, who will miss him more than any of us ever can.

This one is winnable. I had a dream last night and Rovers won 4-1. Unfortunately the goal scorers were: - Randall Hayles Lambert Cureton I had the same dream - it would have been 7-1 except Jason Roberts, Bannister and Warboys all had goals disallowed!!!! PS: JB had a meltdown at full time because those three disallowed goals meant we were relegated on goal difference - bloody referees!!!!!!

So Just remember troops, if th match is bad..... *this post is meant as humour, if anyone is offended I apologise in advance 👍 My goodness, things are bad if Jock feels the need to post Woke-like 'you might be offended' disclaimers! Come on Gas - 3 points today please That has brought the years flooding back......... I had a School Holiday job in a Berni once - supposedly as a "washer up". Unfortunately the chef was constantly on the lash and I ended up having to do the cooking - I had never cooked anything in my life before - apologies to anyone that might have suffered a bout of the squits in the early 70s

IF the players aren't good enough doesn't that make a nonsense of PT's sacking. The only way to make any sense of both Garner's & Tisdale's demise is to assume that the Board thought that the players were good enough but that the respective managers weren't getting the best out of them.

Folk with well paid jobs can fail, but I’m sure they all give it their all and are as disappointed as we as supporters are, if not more so, I know when I fail it hurts myself more than anyone. Especially in th current situation th world is in maybe cut folk some slack, none of us know how others are dealing with th anxiety etc in private. So let’s remember whether players, coaches, management, owners or supporters these people are fellow human beings and all deserve respect. ✊ Brilliant - well said

I propose that the Mods appoint a Statistical and Scientific Sub-Committee, established to identify whether there is a causal effect of any correlations noted in forum member's posts. Let's let the "Science" guide us forward. Signed: Boris J ...and then have a BBC style “fact check” thread to debunk the myths. 😉 I have done an analysis of my drinking during the Lockdown........... It doesn't paint a very pretty picture!!!! However, it shows that I drink much more than average when Rovers Lose. My initial conclusion, for verification by the "fact check" committee, is that Rover's poor form drives me to drink. Edit: Just noticed that I also drink more than average when we win - My revised conclusion is that Rovers drive me to drink whatever happens - Up the Gashhhhhh.........

I have the info that before Gwinnett came in we won 3 on the bounce. After he came in (despite Starnes saying the new manager would have to work with the existing staff) we have won one out of ten, our captain has written an apology letter, we got dicked 6-1 by Accrington and our GK coach has left. I was actually responding to a post that there is trouble with the staff. My point is valid. We have fallen through the floor since Gwinnett walked through the door Correlation does not infer causation. I propose that the Mods appoint a Statistical and Scientific Sub-Committee, established to identify whether there is a causal effect of any correlations noted in forum member's posts. Let's let the "Science" guide us forward. Signed: Boris J
