Scottish Gas

« on: Friday, October 8, 2010, 19:43:56 »

Exiled gashead here in peace.

Bit concerned about Monday cos i think you're due us one & we've been poor in the main & very lucky to be be top ten.

Head says, 3-1 Swindon, Heart 1-2 GAS

Any of your lot up in Edinburgh for Monday night's Sky TV extravaganza may like to know that the "Scottish gas" (bunch of middle aged old farts who will be using it as an excuse to avoid childcare for the night, in the main!) will be meeting up in Sportsters bar behind Waverley.

Any of you who've managed to negotiate the roundabouts, escape Wiltshire's cultural capital & find yourself handy to Edinburgh are welcome to join us for the beer & banter (as long as your not a nobhead obviously and not offended by the sight of an OUFC fan who's coming along just because he hates you!)

We're not on telly as much as you so it's quite big deal for us to be on sky even though we're always cack when we're on it so few of us may be about.

May the best team win(as long as they're in quarters!)

Cheers

Banter is all well and good but the idea of watching Swindon lose in front of a group of Gasheads and a solitary Oxford fan sounds horrific! Then again if we won...

Do we have any Edinburgh reds on TEF?

Well the six points last year dropped v Gas killed us.

10/10 actually and so it bloody well should be. Won't find me going down the pub to watch dirty Pox though. Which is how I interpreted Spencer's post..

he might as well though, us vs gas will be a good game for another rival to watch and if he's mates with the gasheads up there then there's no reason for him not to watch it is there?  I suppose it might be a toss up between Swindon on monday or England on Tuesday...

There's not going to be much cause for banter between us and pox and the gas up in edinburgh otherwise is there?

I love Edinburgh, my favourite British city. Won't be there Monday though unfortunately. We don't really get on Sky that much to be fair, being in the play offs last season obviously gave us three extra games but other than that our tv appearances are about as rare as the perverbial hens' teeth.

As leefer said, we certainly owe you one. 0-4 at home and 0-3 away last season was unbelieveable. I wasn't there but from what I can gather we actually played quite well in the 0-4 game. As you probably know but as I like to tell any Gashead I come accross anyway, your manager is a life long Swindon fan  Yes

I predict he may well  manage you one day as well - probably after our "we're a sleeping giant" fans hound him out after getting us out  oif the hell of lge2 & established in Lge1. There is a sizeable proportion of gas who want him out  now despite being top 10 because the football's not exciting enough! Lge 1 the home of free flowing football - some people need to  play  less FIFA & remember who they support (or just  feck off &  support man U!)

Looking forward to the game monday fellas - enjoy but not too much  eh!

Sky Sports News just had Swindon v Rovers down on the League 1 fixture list for today.

You would have thought they would know the kick off had changed seeing as they are the ones who have changed it?

Yes, effectively cost us promotion!  Grrrr. 

Good job we're not on tv that often, we never seem to do particularly well in front of the cameras (play off semis aside!)
