The Bashley Six-Pointer - updates

[Neil]

The biggest game that Bashley have had since their home match against the Scuzz when thousands of fans claim to have been there supporting the Robins!

Updates can be found here (http://www.livescores.co.uk/myTeamLive.jsp?account=3&match=802) courtesy of Clifty :cool:

[IJD]

Not Good At The Mo - 1-0 Down

[Bash]

Wise up fella, bigger match for you than us surely?

Moss scored our goal

[IJD]

Team :tosser: 1-0 down at Hitchin and Halesowen 2-0 down at Ciren

[Bash]

Class chants down there by the way, must be very proud of yourselves.

[Oldie]

I nte that we are 1-0 down but how are we actually doing!!

[Bash]

Losing

[IJD]

Losing

Ha ****ing ha Bash

[Dr Wart Hoover]

tell me it's a mistake - 2-0 is bad, but 3?

[IJD]

tell me it's a mistake - 2-0 is bad, but 3?

Must be only 2 as the time of the 2nd and 3rd goal is exactly the same. Well I bloody well hope so

[Steve.P.]

Now what was I saying about concentrating on one thing at a time...?

[Bash]

Come on city, you thought that we were the easier game out of Tivvy and us!

[Steve.P.]

Gone quiet aint they steve?

[Bash]

Best we stop scoring now as we'll lose count as we've only got our three fingers, and we're EASY.

[Steve.P.]

Looks like the ref may be biased. we've had a goal dissallowed ten minutes after we scored it!!!!

[Bash]

Looks like another regulation win today, be nice to get a test though wouldn't it?

[yates jr]

Gone quiet aint they steve?

Its gone quiet cos we were at the game supporting our team
nice to see your coachloads of fans

[Bash]

Some of us had to work chumpy, and do you really call dishing out the abuse that you do support!!

[Neil]

Oh well, we didn't turn up like these two Bashley fans. Shame really, gifted them both goals too.

Listen to the interview here (http://www.cityladies.co.uk/spf/th080308.wav)

[Bash]

Thank you very much for that, we'll think of you when we are at least in the play-offs whilst you are wandering around looking for fresh blood to hurl your inane and ill educated abuse at...........oh sorry, you call that support don't you!

[Neil]

How the hell would you know? You must have good hearing from the New Forest all the way up to Nailsworth. Maybe you ought to attend the odd game if you want to have an opinion on the opposition support.

[Bash]

Forgot to mention, do you ever give any other team credit for giving you a beating - maybe your not turning up could be translated for "outplayed" radical thought i know but hold it for a while and se what happens..........

[tigermatty]

Gifted indeed, by the looks of it they came with a game plan to stop us scoring and try to nick a goal, they probably didn't realise how easy it was going to be, we created very little, and struggled to string more than one pass together at times. Results elsewhere didn't do us any favours by the look of it but at least we have more opportunities to take points off the teams above us coming up.

[Bash]

Wife there with phone, amazing technology these days don't you think.

[the_other_two]

Was fairly even up until half-time with City probably just having the better of it, despite going a goal down, though we were probably also guilty of not taking most of any chances available to both sides either. We couldn't seem to cope with the tailwind and most of our balls went way too far for either Pitch or Palmer to make even any contact with. Bashley goal just before H/T was slightly against run of play and came from yet another City ball given away in the middle of the pitch.

Second half Bashley only had the upper hand because of City's mistakes: giving the ball away, not looking up when heading or clearing and not keeping the ball on the ground as much as we should have done. Their second was a lob over Sawyer and prob helped into the back of the net more by the tailwind than anything.

Overall, not the best City performance but it wasn't an awful one. I'm not gonna complain on the back of two fantastic mid-week results. We've played a lot of the top and in-form sides of late so getting anything was always gonna be tough. It's not all over yet!

[Bash]

Jeez hark at you lot, giving the ball away - i'm no John Motson but i know how Bashley play. If your midfield could not get their feet on the ball and play it's because our midfield work their b*lls off during a game to ensure the opposition "give the ball away", other people might say that our midfield unit out played yours but i'm sure that you will disagree and that you "just didn't turn up".

[Neil]

[the_other_two]

ho hum, some people never seem happy (even with victory). No wonder your wife was at the game without you - anything just to get out for the day. Must have been good for her to get away from her miserable husband. :rolleyes:

[Bash]

Oh Neil, steady on old chap. Read my previous post chumpy, i know how we play, i could have told you how we were going to play yesterday, last week and the week before that and by you saying that you did not turn up does us a dis-service, do every team we play not turn up?

Wise up and ask yourself why you did not turn up - is there not some kind of kindergarten football knowledge school that you could attend that could help you out with the basics??

[Steve.P.]

Careful boys, you actually don't know the situation or reasons behind his wife going without him do you? Try not to embarrass yourselves too much.

[Bash]

Who's not happy - i'm laughing my c**k off at you.............

[Neil]

Who's not happy - i'm laughing my c**k off at you.............Thats why your wifes gone then :tosser:

[Bash]

Thats the Gloucester level is it, very grown up and i'm sure wins you many friends in the non-league game. Feel like addressing the point anytime soon or are you content making yourself look like a ..........

[Jake]

Scrappy game and as I hear Noah shout 'Ref not played attention to detail'.

Did anyone else notice the Bashley No:2 (captain) in the second half, deliberately landed one on Reid's chin when actual play was several yards away? The officials certainly didn't.

[the_other_two]

Selection of some of the results today, confirmed (http://www.southern-football-league.co.uk/results/premier.asp?section=results):

Brackley 3 - Bromsgrove 0
Chips 3 - Martyrs 0
Ciren 3 - Halesowen 2 (last min winner)
Hitch 2 - Tax 1
Linnets 5 - Yate 0
Rugby 1 - Hemel 2

That all leaves us in 6th, level with Hemel and Brackley on 51. Yeah, so we lost today, big deal. Still 10 games to go and everything to play for.

[badsy]

Bash, you are right in the way you described your teams play, not the best team i have seen this season but were very profesional and worked hard.
But to come on the oppositions forum being ##### and then not expect abuse back shows you are the opposite of your team !

[tigermatty]

I think Bashley showed us a lot of respect today in the way they set out, they knew they were facing a team who have been scoring goals for fun so they parked the proverbial team bus in front of their goal. Had we shown a bit more creativity and calmness we may have broken them down.

[Bash]

Point taken Badsy, but it's a bit rich of you lot to be saying that you defeated yourselves with little or no input from us.

I think i'm right in saying that prior to the match we got very little respect from certain members of this forum regarding both our team and our set up, (maybe you got a little carried away with a couple of wins over poor sides) put that together with the lovely welcome that we recieved from your fans(?) and i would be surprised if the reaction that Gloucester gleaned from any opposition fan differs too much from mine.

I do not expect my family and friends to be abused by your so called support when the welcome that you recieved in the Forest was nothing less than friendly, is it not time that many Gloucester fans learnt what it was to support a team? It certainly does not include the crassness dished out today by you to a friendly and welcoming (small) bunch of supporters. If we are in the same league again next season what sort of respect and welcome would want and expect from Bash and their fans at our place?

[yates jr]

did ciren win against haleowen then
it said 3-2 to halesowen on skysports

[ItmustbeCity]

Bad result today but we didn't help ourselves by constantly launching the ball in the air against a side who knew how to deal with it and start their own attacks. Their second goal killed the game and it went flat both on and off the pitch afterwards.

Hopefully we can pick ourselves back up for tuesday

[Bash]

Quick, get onto the league now and tell them to halt the league programme as it's all done and dusted and that every team apart from Lynn (who we took apart at our place) would be a disgrace if they went up besmirching the very name of the southern league if they dared show their faces in the Southern Conf.

If we were that bad it's only because we didn't turn up, lucky we didn't really as it could have turned embarrassing for you.

Are you lot for real?

[Simon]

We were very poor today, such a disappointment as this was probably our biggest game recently too. I don't know what went wrong but we weren't passing on the floor like we have done, and consequently torn teams apart, but we were brought down to Bashley's level of hoofing the ball and losing possesion very easily.

It would be fair to say that if we played the way we have done against Team Bath and Tiverton we would've won. Bashley weren't anything different from what we've seen in this league, that's what makes today such a disappointment.

I can't actually remember Sawyer making a notable save during the match. Frustrating but I suppose from a Bashley point of view it would've been a perfect away performance, two goalscoring chances, two goals from two mistakes. Weak referee today as well, very leniant when most referees would've booked half the Bashley side.

Very poor advert for Southern League Football, when we all know it can be so much better. Disappointing, however Halesowen on Tuesday night now, important game. Come on City!

Are you lot for real?Bashley were like Real AC Madrid Milan Rovers. Awesome, never seen football like it. One of our lads said it was a joy to be on the same pitch as their shadows that they were chasing. They are a true credit, not only to this league but also the league above, the Conference, the Norweigen second division and the Sydenhams Wessex League.

Is that better cock breath?

[Steve.P.]

We give you a lesson in how to win football matches and you don't even say thankyou!

[Neil]

I'm sure we've done that to you several times down the years. It's a good job the internet wasn't as widespread back then isn't it?

[Bash]

Gloucester City, an abject lesson in how to lose friends and alienate people

[Clifty]

your players may deserve to go up. shame about the support you :tosser:

[Clifty]

i organised the coach down to your place and i have to sat that i thought that the numbers that bashley brought today pretty much showed wny the team doesn't and shouldn't go up! i think there were more team bath supporters at the NL for that game than Bashley, and that says it all!!

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

,,....

[ItmustbeCity]

We give you a lesson in how to win football matches and you don't even say thankyou!

Good thing you don't give lessons in how to travel away and support your side then. Only 10 away fans for a side aiming for the play offs is terrible, even Team Bath brought more

[Bash]

Hello, earth calling Gloucester read the thread back through and see if you are able to work out what has riled (in joke) your GUESTS today. Then see if you have the nerve to mention support chumpy ;)

[Neil]

What is this "Chumpy" all about? Is it a weird Dorset thing?

[Bash]

No idea Chumpy, think you'll find that the New Forest is in Hampshire

[Bash]

Along with three points you thought(?) that you only had to turn up to collect

[Clifty]

i think that you will find if you read through all the posts on this forum you will find no comment on this foum that suggested that!!:tosser:

[Neil]

That'll sort them out.

[Bash]

erm, do you think - myopia's a terrible affliction isn't it.

I can only suggest that there is a collective memory loss or some kind of social disfunction that affects some of the Gloucester support(?) in th eweek prior to a game.

[Steve.P.]

"My original thought was that tonight would be the tougher of the two games so I feel quite confident for Saturday."

This was taken from your message board after you won the tougher of the two games against the giants of Tiverton Town. How's your confidence now? You must be a gibbering wreck by the end of every season!

[Bash]

and they wonder why they are thought of as inbreads?? His mrs?? he's having a laugh, it was his sister really!!:biggrin::biggrin: i saw those 6 fingers he was holding up!!:biggrin::biggrin:



Grade one passed with distinction idiot who i suppose is seen as some sort of role model up there is he - Gloucesters anthem isn't "no-one likes us and we don't care" is it. Really doing your club no favours

[bobcarolgees]

We just werent good enough today, Bashley's central defense were there for the taking, making lots of poor passes out and we didnt do anything about it. They hit us on the break 1st half, then played the better second. Our 2nd half performance was very dissapointing, did we have a shot on goal? I have to say I can except defeat but when it comes against a little poxy village or whatever it is like Bashley with a travelling support that could fit on to their pony its hard to stomach. We have to remember, no matter how frustrating it us, clubs go up from this league even if they do have a piss poor support like Bashley. You dont get promoted simply by how many fans you take away or how loud you are. Otherwise we would have been up years ago.

Once again I'm scratching my head as to how a player can get away with incitement, the number 9 for them was making all sorts of gestures to our supporters literally right infront of the ref who was oblivious to it.

Dissapointed with a section of our crowd and I am kind of in agreement with the Bashley fans on here. Their travelling support for a team in the play offs playing a fellow promotion rival was quite frankly woeful, however they were pretty quiet and didnt deserve the abuse they got. It's not like they came into our end looking for a fight or kicking off. Its getting embarrasing now. What is even more embarrasing is the same few doing it if we did get promoted would soon shut their mouths if they were doing it to Newport or the like as they'd run the risk of getting their heads kicked in, but are quite willing to gob off to pensioners like at the Bedford game. Seriously just cut it out :mad:

[Clifty]

who was it chris? i didn't see?

[Bash]

Can you see that is it big enough?

Sorry, should have posted Clifty's intellectual insight, once again CAN YOU SEE THAT?

Wonder why people would get p*ssed off with Neanderthals like that?

[Bash]

Got to say that's it baffling from our perspective that we can get as many as four hundred plus for a home game and then play away the following week and take twenty tops. It does need looking at as we do need to take more away -mind you just as well that we did not take many today due to your abuse of us. Better that kind of thing is kept behind closed doors eh.

[Clifty]

i must apologise for my drunken messages last night, amazing what that cider does to your brain! lol!!

Now i have sobered up, i still have to say that we threw the points away yesterday. Bashley were certainly nothing special, however we just never turned up today!

I guess that we have to lose a game occasionally, lets all not forget the situation that we are in, and realise just how well we are actually doing! There are still plenty of points to play for, and it certainly i not over. If we continue to play the way that we know we can, then the only way is onwards and upwards!

On to tuesday now, where i think that we are more than capable of getting a result on our day ( Thats if the latest weather front doesn't get the game called off again)

[Lee]

Yesterday was my first City game since Chippenham at home on New Years Day. Bashley are a team ive been to watch a couple of times due to them being close to where I live down in Bournemouth and what we saw yesterday is typical of their play. They have a strong pair of central defenders who can soak up the pressure and if Mr. Gillespie gets into some space then they wont hesitate in lumping it forward to him. This worked well yesterday against our slower than average backline.

I was disappointed by some of our supporters and the taunts they decided to subject the Bashley supporters to. There may have only been half a dozen of them at our end by why do we insist on calling them **** supporters, **** team, **** ground etc. It does us no favours. Its frankly embarrassing for grown men to be waiting around after the game to continue the abuse as these supporters try to leave the ground. Hopefully I can build a few bridges when i next go and watch the Bash but i wouldnt blame them if they told me to **** off, like they were.

[darrenb]

Dissapointing result - we just didn't turn up and didn't look like scoring.

Two sloppy goals to give away is not good but lets get behind the lads and hope they can get a result at Halesowen on Tuesday.

We still have a chance of the play offs and some of the teams above us are dropping points so you never know. Whatever happens the team have done fantastic to get themselves in to this position and with all the club have had to deal with a top half finish would be an amazing achievement - anything better than that is a bonus.

[city supporter]

Okay, the game was dire. Not what we have been use to for a while, more reminiscent of the start of the season.
Since when was our game the 'high ball' stuff ? To be honest, I would have thought management would have sorted this at half-time, but there it is we lost not just the game but the fact that the gate turnout was higher and our performance was sadly lacking. Very disappointing.

Lets now move on, hopefully we can put this right on Tuesday night. It's not over 'till the fat lady sings [hopefully that's not me]:wink:

[Clifty]

Who was doing that mate? me and graham left about 5 mins before the end to get a pint! Would have been more exciting watching paint dry than that game yesterday!!

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

Its some years since I've been to Bashley but I cannot remember having to swim to get to the ground.

Cheers for that input Lee, make yourself known to the Bash at the next game and we'll swear you in as an honourary member of the choir -we're grown up enough to realise that not all Glos fans are moronic idiots, mines a IPA :smile:

[Noah]

i think that you will find if you read through all the posts on this forum you will find no comment on this foum that suggested that!!:tosser:


When I read the comments in this particular thread, well . . . I can't read most of them.

[Neil]

You can't say I don't allow opposition fans to contribute to this forum, well, certain teams fans will never be welcome but everyone is allowed a say, except those who don't travel to support their team and then spend hours goading City fans like bad winners.

Sorry if anyone disagrees with that but at the end of the day, it's my ball and ... :biggrin:

[Lee]

Not really in my nature to be grass Clifty, but im sure they'll read the comments on this and Bashley's forum and realise where they went wrong.

[NI-Branch]

Bash is now trying to cause problems on the Halesowen Site

[Kingo]

When I read the comments in this particular thread, well . . . I can't read most of them.

I didn't know if it was some trendy new way of talking or someone trying to be funny, but plainly isn't.

[bully74uk]

I didn't know if it was some trendy new way of talking or someone trying to be funny, but plainly isn't.

I think you'll find its a way of driving out nuisance posters :wink:

[Clifty]

The stupid thing about all this is i didn't even hear or see anything bad happening. This guy is posting comments about a game that he wasn't even at, and is now on the halesowen forum trying to cause trouble. And he thinks that out behaviour was out of line. He wants to get a reality check.

At same time whoever is posting on Bashley forum as City fan, you should be ashamed of yourself! it is definately comments like yours that bring down the good name of this club and its fans!!!

[the_other_two]

I think the best way to respond is actually not to react and just let it go. I'm sure 80% of the Bashley supporters are great, like-minded folk, but the ones who came on here acting like irritating, immature little children picking at everyone and every little posting are probably more of an embarrassment to themselves.

[Matt]

It's getting a bit worrying now tho isn't it? This isn't the first game that there have been comments about the level of personal abuse directed at opposition fans. There is a difference between a bit of banter - and nasty, unnecessary abuse. And it sounds like we have fans who are regularly crossing that line.

We have a reputation for passionate and noisy fans - but would be very sad if we also got a reputation for being an unpleasant and unsafe place for opposition fans to go. That away fans wouldn't bother coming or bringing kids etc.

I don't know what can be done but it really needs to stop. Maybe someone could have a word with those responsible?

Well said Matt. this needs to stop now. We don't want to create this sort of rep at the club!

[The Cleric]

Two of FIFA's 10 Golden Rules would seem to be apt at this moment in time -

Respect Opponents, Teammates, Referees, Officials and Spectators
Fair Play means respect. Without opponents there can be no game. They have the same rights as you have, including the right to be respected. Your teammates are your colleagues. You form a team in which all members are equal. Referees are there to maintain discipline and Fair Play. Always accept their decisions without arguing, and help them to help you enjoy the game more. Officials are also part of the game and must be respected accordingly. Spectators give the game atmosphere. They want to see the game played fairly, but must also behave fairly themselves.

Accept Defeat with Dignity Nobody wins all the time. You win some, you lose some. Learn to lose graciously. Don't seek excuses for defeat. Genuine reasons will always be self-evident. Congratulate the winners with good grace. Don't blame the referee or anyone else. Determine to do better next time. Good losers earn more respect than bad winners.

[Clifty]

i thought that you had gone a little bit quiet!!!
