Please please please Bristol

I've not had as much fun since my mum's funeral

[NinjaTattoo]

Always said we would run out of games if TM had been given another 5 games or so we would be safe.
Yet again Venkys failure to react efficiently has been our downfall.

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Good win but too little late.  We were down when Coyle appointed.

Sad day.

[TurkishDelightFan]

They've played very well today. Some good players in the team, don't think we deserved to go down.

[Bigdoggsteel]

Ipswich hit the post at 0-0 today, such small margins 

[J*B]

Full time. Rovers are relegated from the Championship. 

Mercerman to leave the forum. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Devestated.

[JacknOry]

My question is where was this passion and level of performance the rest of the season?

[Amo]

Thanks Venky's. You utter, utter @#/?.

Forest and Brum fans probably asking the same. So upsetting; just feels like the decline will continue forever with no way out.

[Proudtobeblue&white]

A very sad day indeed. No complaints about today's performance. Venkys just @#/? off, you are an insult to the town, the club, and our history. You should issue a huge apology to us and do one.

[Blow-in]

@#/? Bristol hope they go down next season 1 @#/? on target.........

[Blue blood]

so many if onlys. The Preston game, not turning up vs Barnsley, not hammering villa, playing duffy when he wanted to throw his toys out of the pram and so many more...

[andyroversmad]

We were relegated the moment Owen Coyle was appointed manager. 

[AdamRochina]

Brum get an away win first in @#/? ages against a side that wasn't really bothered..n how did che adams play after a red card? 

[Lihamylly]

Relegated

Are we really going to be relegated with 51 points...

When Mowbray came in and we did the maths most thought 51 would keep us safe.

Well done to Tony Mowbray in his efforts to keep us up.

Before the draw at Burton gets mentioned, or dropped points at home to Barnsley and Preston, or the limp display at Wolves, let it be clear the reason we have gone down is 16 defeats in 31 matches under the stupid clown some idiot thought was fit and proper to manage our club.

Meanwhile our millionaire superstars should hang their heads in total shame. Disgrace to the badge. No-one is going to convince me they have tried their utmost this season. They can all go for me. The lot of them. I have no affinity with any of them. Wasters.

very very sad      owners just go

 

[West Yorks Rover]

Referee blew the final whistle a minute early at Bristol, according to 5Live.

[G Somerset Rover]

Venkys, JA and friends - thanks a bunch you @#/? morons. To a lesser extent, Coyle, Duffy & co. this season. @#/? horrible and you wouldn't wish it on other fans what we're going through. 

[DE.]

When was the last time there was a situation like this and all three teams at the bottom won? An indictment of the Championship if there ever was one. A terrible league and it's embarrassing that this is the second professional tier of English football.

Ultimately we can't blame anyone but ourselves. This day has been coming since the season Bowyer was potted, and let's be honest, if it wasn't this season it was going to be next season. We can say we left it too late to sack Coyle, but he was only the symptom of a much larger problem. Until the disease at the heart of the club has been eradicated no manager is going to stop this decline.

I had tears in my eyes when we were dumped out of the PL, I'm still sad but it's the same sadness that has been there for the past six years. This is just a continuous drop that only ends when Venky's leave.

God knows where we go from here. I fear there are even darker days ahead for this club, and it all stems from India.

just to rub it in sky show that slimeball snug that Senior....

[Lihamylly]

I only hope this wasn't in vain and we get that cancer out finally...
