Not pointless to me. They've been top for months and now they're second. I'm pleased to see that and I thought id bring it to the attention of the forum. I'm sure there are others who agree. I can't believe you're even trying to argue the point - this just makes us look stupid; like a man lying in a pigsty laughing at someone with muddy shoes. But he doesn't look so stupid when Muddy Shoes falls into the pigsty himself, so he might hope for that (even if he pretends he isn't hoping for it). Especially if Muddy Shoes has been laughing at him for being in the sty.

It does matter to me and it should to every other gashead whether they do well or not, as previously said, that is rivalry, but they are more interested in us than themselves it seems, so we should not lower ourselves to be like them, as they are the scum of the earth, obviously IMO. Now, as they are always lurking on our forum, I wonder how long before I get a reply. UTG and FTS

Too right f**k them. And the idea that you can only have rivalry and banter if your either equal or doing better than your rivals is rediculous. If they drop down to 3rd that will be it for them. Their manager hasn't got the mentality to deal with the pressure or their fans if they start getting watery and stop Dam their sisters.

I hear what your saying but id rather they didn't go up than did go up. If they don't go up and we do then well , it'd be great wouldn't it. yeah I agree in that sense, but I'm only bothered about them when we play them or in the same div. But truth be told I can't see us playing a league game against them in the next 5 seasons. Who knows football is a funny old game. i want them to go all the way to the top, as its bloody funny when they go from thr 1st to the 4th, one for the old farts

Most unkind of you.

I'm Not arguing a point I'm giving my opinion. Personally I think the idea that we could all switch off our dislike for them and not care just because they're a couple of divisions above us is laughable. My hatred for City goes hand in hand with my love for the gas. I haven't stopped supporting us and I'm not going to stop hating 82 or giving them banter either. All hate bristol **** All hate bristol **** Post on this thread!! If you really ***g hate em really ***g hate em Post again! Note I edited out all swears

people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. lets worry about our own problems. No let's get behind our club and not worry. We're in a good position and having a good season and city haven't got many problems right now either. If seeing city knocked off top spot at last doesn't make you smile then fair enough perhaps if they fall away and don't get promoted either you won't be bothered either but I want to see them fail because I don't like them.

Concentrating on regaining our league status doesn't stop us having a little chuckle at them losing top spot, and to Swindon of all teams. It's us and them. It's natural. Don't deny it.

Ultimately, to say that you really don't care how Bristol City are doing is to say that you really don't care which of the two Bristol clubs is on top. That would be a strange position to take on a Bristol Rovers forum.
Look, surely the truth is this: to let the Sh*t know that we are hurting is humiliating and some on here understandably would rather pretend that we really do not care how well they are doing compared with us, just like a dumped boyfriend who shrugs off all talk of his ex's new millionaire partner.
But the truth is, we are hurting. We are humiliated and they are doing ok. They're still not a big club. They're 3rd division, for god's sake. They've never won anything they're not ashamed of, but they're doing better than us. If we don't resent that, then we're like a Liverpool fan who really doesn't mind if Everton finish above them, or a Catholic who is quite ok with the Archbishop of Canterbury becoming Pope. It's silly to pretend that we don't care whether they're above us or not, and if we care we must be pleased when they do badly. We don't have to be eaten up by it, but it's better when they lose than when they win, that's all.

I'm more concerned with our own results, but do enjoy a little chuckle whenever they have a hiccup south of the river.

So wait until he falls then laugh all you want. And do you want him to fall? Couldn't give a flying. I've refused to acknowledge the existence of another Bristol club since the awful scenes at Ashton Gate in 95.

Also you say makes us look stupid . To who City ? Surely not because you don't care right ? To anyone with an ounce of sense regardless of whether they're from Bristol, Birmingham, Belfast or Bora Bora.
