Pity you wont see the game Saturday.....Taking your Marge up the old kent road
Still if you win you can treat her to a plate of mash and jellied Eels, find yourself a decent boozer and listen to some Chaz and Dave round the old joanna

Get help.

Dale Vince 'growing diamonds made from the sky.' Sounds like he's going full Bond villain,

He only bought Rodborough Fort so he could hollow out the hill for his base full of henchmen in jumpsuits. One day Whitfield Tump is going to roll back and a fuck off great rocket come shooting out.

For the past few years there has been much heat generated towards Gloucestershire's local derby ElGlosico, but of late it seems to have dissipated.
Cheltenham were unfortunate to have a Chairman and manager who would stir their own fans against FGR. But they have both left and a more sensible attitude has been adopted.
I've listened to both managers who have been complimentary towards each other and their team. They referred to each other by their first name.
Dale Vince did not say anything amiss when interviewed on his match prediction.
Of course both sets of fans want to win the game but there is not so much nastiness anymore.
I welcome this change of attitude because the county is too small to have this infighting. Leave it to the teams from Lancashire [Greater Manchester].

It's not a fucking derby, it's a local game!!!

Gloucester City is our derby, why can't you seem to accept that?

Three players isolating with Covid today, Fitzpatrick, Rodney and Whitehead, so Crookes starts for Fitz and McKirdy and Mills on the bench. Pope starts up front. Crookes at left back is not ideal! No confirmation is any of the three are positive but assume as new signings maybe house share?

You're right ElGlosico is a Gloucestershire local game or as most others call it a derby game.
I'm happy to call it a derby game, especially as neither teams will meet Gloucester this season.

Tbf it isn't just FGR Stroud, the local media, your clubs official media outlets, plus your manager, players and a large number of your fans are calling it derby day,

Personally I don't care what people call it, it's another game and another 3 points. There is an extra bit of banter with my Cheltenham mates at stake, but that's about it.

Crickey, I read your comment and posted my own and settled down to watch the game and it was described as a DERBY by the Gloucestershire commentators.

A derby to me is a game played between two teams from the same city or town. If its against a city or a town nearby it is simply a local game.

So Newcastle vs Sunderland isn't a derby, but Crystal Palace vs Chelsea would be? A derby is a derby when there's a regional proximity and a strength of feeling.

See if our forward players were not so bad at finishing then we'd probably be top of the league.
looks like we are starting to go the same way we were last season particularly on the last graph - the expected goals created v allowed one

Oh so we could be seeing the return of 'Barrowcelona' then eh? Even though Barcelona are pretty shit nowadays.

How about 'Barrow Munich'?

Yeah but it was against Mansfield who are terrible in all honesty.

You need to be more direct and defensively compotent in this league if you want to be at the top end of the table.
to be honest that's what people said about the national League - you can't win it playing attractive passing football....

These graphics are not enjoyable when your team is fucking awful
Especially when you're apparently overperforming against xG at the minute.

How we got beat off Scunthorpe I'll never understand. :ffs:

Anyone's capable of beating anyone at this level. Most teams can be half decent on their day and everyones got an absolutely shite performance in their locker. The teams that put in shite performances least often are the ones that win the league and such.

Our keeper played his one good game of his career, I am shocked we have actually managed to win a game with our injuries and lack of overall quality.

Have you noticed just how satisfying it is to be able to watch a load of live football games and there not be any VAR at all.

It shows how disruptive it has been to the leagues and competitions that do use it, so hopefully it never comes down to the lower leagues!
