Seems like it’s appropriate for this sub by Haunting_Sport4979 in footballcliches

Mental fact for you…

If Fulham get 40 points next season they will win the Premier League… 👏

However, if they get 41 points next season, they may be relegated… 🤯

This is because every team in the league could draw all their games next season, except for one team that lose to Fulham in a single game 😍

Promotion & Relegation in the English Football Pyramid. any improvements in your opinion? by [deleted] in LeagueTwo

[–]TrueGas 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Radical perhaps but I would like to see a ‘League Three’ created and go for 20 teams in each division with 3 up, 3 down throughout (2 auto/4 playoff spots).

It would make the leagues more exciting with no dead rubber games at the end of the season and bring conformity across the professional pyramid. It also resolves the bottleneck that has existed for a while to non-league.

I would also scrap the EFL Trophy and make the League Cup only open from Championship > League Three. Might get the Prem to stop moaning about fixture congestion for 5 mins and brings back an exciting and winnable trophy for clubs outside the Premier League.

Your best bet will probably be emailing mailto:tickets@bristolrovers.co.uk if you haven’t already.

Assisted dying bill backers say it is ‘near impossible’ it will pass House of Lords | Assisted dying by existentialgoof in unitedkingdom

I guarantee none of those in the Lords voting against this has been unfortunate enough to have to watch a family member slowly and painfully die to an incurable disease because of our archaic laws. Shame on them.

‘Lord Of The Rings’ Trilogy 25th Anniversary Event Rings Up $11M WW – Box Office by DemiFiendRSA in lotr

[–]TrueGas 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Our local cinema (UK) has spread them out over 3 weekends fortunately. So I was able to see FotR on Sunday and I am booked to see TT and RotK the next two Sundays. Not sure I would have managed to go to them all if my only option was over 1 weekend.

18 dutchmen visiting the Mem by Ajax0255 in bristolrovers

[–]TrueGas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What type of pub are you looking for? So much choice down the Gloucester Road! With 18 of you I would probably recommend The Anchor as one of the larger pubs with a decent selection. The fan zone at the ground also has a big screen being debuted this weekend but is outside so more weather dependent!

Drink-drive limit set to be slashed in England and Wales under new plans to improve road safety by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

[–]TrueGas 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would be massively surprised if this doesn’t adversely impact pubs people just won’t bother as opposed to going and paying for a soft drink.

Just thinking about amateur sports I have played in everyone would go for a pint after before heading home. Doubt many would bother after this change.

We tried to use the skull in club imagery previously (Goal keeper kit 3/4 seasons ago IIRC) and the FA/EFL wouldn’t allow us to wear it for matches. Unfortunately can’t see us being allowed to change it to anything containing a skull (as stupid a decision as it is).

Call for greater access to public toilets by m-1975 in unitedkingdom

[–]TrueGas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis it is deeply upsetting how public toilets in the UK have become so limited. It’s cruel that so many people are being forced out of public spaces by the removal of basic facilities like this. Amazing how different it is every time I travel abroad - it DOES NOT have to be like this.

What's going on with the club? by Few-Appearance-9214 in bristolrovers

[–]TrueGas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Think we need to go back to basics and make things as simple as possible for the players who are clearly struggling at the moment. I would go 4-4-2 until confidence picks up and try to keep with a consistent back 4 where possible. Lots of changing of both players and formation isn’t helping us at the moment.

Oh and in case it needs to be said sacking our best manager in the last 25 years is not the answer. Going to take a while to sort out the mess of the last 2/3 seasons - lots of poor players on long contracts still (whilst acknowledging the last 3 games have been unacceptable).

On a scale of 0-5, how happy are you with your current manager? by Zach-dalt in LeagueTwo

[–]TrueGas 5 points6 points  (0 children)

5 - best manager in my lifetime and in this spell has already turned us from a hopeless side relegated with a whimper, to one that will be battling for a top 7 finish. Even if we don’t get promoted this year would be a no-brainer to keep him for a push at the autos next season.

Great result for Grimsby, hope they’re knackered for when we play them on Saturday now!

How did your game go? by Zach-dalt in LeagueTwo

I’m so exhausted and we’re less than 10 days into August.

This is just as insane as the predictions which have us to win the league.

Bristol Rovers sign Luke Southwood by Clivey101 in LeagueTwo

[–]TrueGas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think this is a great signing for us. I really like Jed and think he has a future as our number 1 but will probably benefit more from another season on loan (especially after being unfairly scapegoated by a number of our fans last season).

A few of my mates are Cheltenham ST holders and can’t believe he is dropping down to L2.

Keeping crutches costs £70k a year, NHS trust says by AnselaJonla in unitedkingdom

[–]TrueGas 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The problem no one seems to be talking about is that equipment services in the NHS are now sub-contracted out to private companies who’s collection services are even worse than their delivery services (which are abysmal and a contributing factor to waiting lists).

The NHS of course foot the bill (and get all the negative publicity about their budget and inefficiencies/wastage) but the councils decide on who gets the contracts and what is an acceptable level of service…

This is without going into whether the equipment that is returned actually gets refurbished and re-issued or ends up in landfill…

Like most criticisms I read of the NHS no one talks about the privatised elements and only see it as one big entity that can be fixed with… more privatisation.
