@NiallHarbison
Catching up with your progress is my highlight of the morning. Brilliant to see Tina enjoying that bike ride. Keep going mate - you are a top man! 🐕 🐶 🐩
Latest open letter from
@waelalqadi
hits the mark for me. Despite all of the challenges, on and off the pitch, he gets what being a Gashead is all about and remains exactly the man I want (and we need) at the top of our club. Thanks chief
#UTG
Lots of sticks and stones being thrown at employees of
@Official_BRFC
on social media. I get that fans want to know what’s going on with the club (down to the tiniest details), I do too, but let’s remember that we are all on the same side here
#UTG
#bekind
Garner out crowd, have a word with yourself. We all want to watch attacking football. Our boys have been coached to be defensive and to pass sideways for years. Their DNA is being reprogrammed. Give the gaffer a chance, the tide will turn
#UTG
Don’t get all the Gasheads having a pop at Leahy. He’s a trier, gave us his best shot and has now left for a better deal … what’s with all the salty comments? Good luck to him I say.
So this is
#Bristol
. The Mayor can’t build anything, the Gas can’t build anything, Lansdown builds what he wants. Fair play to the bloke. Perhaps he should be mayor?
You might disagree with some of his statements and points of view, but one thing you can’t knock Mr Sunak for is the way that he speaks - prepared, confident and convincing.
Lots of negativity on here as there always is when we lose. Looking at the bigger picture, we are 1 or 2 players away from a brilliant squad and the new stand looks pretty impressive too. It’s still hard to be a Gashead sometimes, but I’m staying positive!
#UTG
Gasheads, let’s take a chill pill. Throwing insults at players, management and owners is additional negativity that none of us need. We all knew that we were punching when we flirted with top 6. Let’s just keep our heads, support the club and better days will come

At the Mem. NHS Covid certificate shown, print at home ticket scanned, bought a pasty on my credit card … all in the matter of 3 minutes. Well done Gas, got that bit right :)
#UTG
I appreciate that in the world there are bigger issues to solve. However, I wish that my football club can learn to cook a pasty without cremating it. Back in the day, pasties at the ground were quality … not anymore 🤢

#DIYSOS
fair play to William. Always comes across as a nice bloke, and one who knows what’s going on and who cares. If only the leading politicians had his integrity!!
@Official_BRFC
I am already enjoying the interviews from the new gaffer. Comes across as honest, thoughtful and very much a team man. Already seems to be clicking with players and that is great to witness
#utg
Well played
@Official_BRFC
- a bit of grit shown against one of the best teams in the league. A point well deserved. Lovely to watch a game with no stupid play acting and time wasting. Hope Ipswich go up though. Too big for Div 1
#UTG
@Official_BRFC
Welcome to the Gas lad. What an incredible show of intent this summer has been so far. Well done to the scouting team, to the board and to the boss,
@waelalqadi
.
The only person to come away with any credit from that Gas game today?
@TheLanceCook
for showing true grit and determination to overcome technical difficulties and do justice to Lindsay Parsons, RIP.
There are some proper belters on here aren’t there? Chill out everyone, unless you think that calling for players to be dropped/manager to be sacked is actually going to have a positive impact on the team performances. If you can’t say something nice, then keep shtumm.
@Official_BRFC
Disappointed to read the ‘Wael can afford it’ comments. I fully expect this to come out of the operating budget, therefore less money to spend on other things. This sort of expense is totally avoidable.
Just got back home from Nailsworth. 3 points bagged by the Gas lads.
I won’t be going there again in a hurry. A non league standard of football stadium with absolutely zero respect for away fans.
I didn't join the covidiots at Bournemouth beach today, because I am working from home, because I don't want to see a second wave of the virus and because I am not a selfish twat.
Best thing about today’s Training Ground news for me is that I totally didn’t expect it. Thanks Wael, a real piece of bright and positive news in a sea of gloom
#UTG
Now that
@Official_BRFC
have made todays big decision, it would be nice for our majority owners/president/CEO to address the fans and explain what’s happening. Any chance? A manager rarely moves on without further changes up and down the hierarchy.
Two wingers, an attacking midfielder and a quality goalkeeper, all from higher league clubs ... been a pretty promising window so far hasn’t it Gasheads? Once they settle in the results will follow
#rosyspecs

#STAYINGPOSITIVE
Let’s face it Gasheads, we have had a bloody good window so far
@Official_BRFC
with promises of more to come … I’m really looking forward to this season getting underway now
#UTG
I am so grateful that today’s pre season match,
@Official_BRFC
vs
@ManorFarmFC
was streamed live. First Gas game my dad has been able to watch for some time due to illness. Great for him to see a win too. Thanks to all
#UTG
#UTBMF
It’s not great to watch your team devoid of confidence and struggling to perform to past standards. As fans, it’s our job to support and get behind them till the tide changes, and it will
#KTF
#UTG
Anyone laying today’s abject display at the feet of the new Gaffer is a total plank. Big players out, others clearly not match fit but playing cos our squad has no depth, and no time for Ben to change what has clearly needed changing for ages - brighter times lie ahead
#KTF
#UTG
Lots of comments on here running down our possible new manager BEFORE HE IS ANNOUNCED. How about we give whoever gets the job a chance - get behind him, let him show us he can embrace life as a Gashead, and then judge him by his results?

@BBCDerbySport
The worst of the ‘top teams’ to come to the Mem this season. Scored early then tried to hold out for the 1-0 win. No ambition. Gas were by a mile the better side.
This was the queue of people leaving the Mem before the end of the game yesterday. Ashamed to have been one of them, it’s become a regular thing for me though. The trudge up to the car on the common with nothing positive to say about the match has become a regular occurrence. ⛳️
The more I hear Gasheads baying for bully boy Barton the more I despair. Our best managers haven’t been like that? Francis, Ward, Trolls, DC ... this is the kind of bloke we need - one that can educate and inspire the players, and also connect with fans
#UTG
The
@Official_BRFC
accounts and reported losses aren’t my problem so I won’t be losing any sleep over them. Personally I will be leaving that to the owner and the finance team - but will keep buying my tickets and spending in the bar and concession stands to do my bit
#UTG
Chris Whitty ... what a straight up bloke he seems to be. He is the single most reliable reference point throughout this time imo. No one reason why, other than he seems to always play with a straight bat. God bless you professor!
If anyone is still doubting Coughlan, the first photo is where we was in the table when he took the job this time last year, the second picture is us in the playoffs with a game in hand. Now let’s all get behind GC and the boys and push for something this season.
#UTG
.
Big day for the Gas and we’re not even playing. A 0-0 draw between Rochdale and Swindle, and wins for the Blacks Cats and The Tractor boys would do us just fine 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 That’s not asking too much is it?
#UTG
Ok … time for a break for me from Twitter. Too many experts on here who know ‘best’. It’s doing my frigging head in.
Bye all … don’t blow a gasket while I’m gone.
Saw some tweets a week or so ago that said we’d struggle to get another point this season. 6 from 2 over Easter will hopefully put paid to that kind of talk
#UTG
Gasheads isn’t it about time we all stopped booing ex managers/players?
1. It usually makes them do better against us and
2. It just isn’t very nice is it?
The Mem needs to be a more positive place if we are gonna get back to L1 at the first attempt. Am I wrong?
#UTG
@Official_BRFC
@Pompey
Great responses in this interview. Straight-talking, non toxic but clearly calling out Holloway and Tisdale. Well done Widds. Mr 100%.
#UTG
@Official_BRFC
This interview shows what a significantly negative impact the doomsday merchants are having on the players and staff at the Gas. Time to cut it all out for all our sakes!
#UTG
A very good performance today by the Gas. MOM performances from a number of our players against a tidy Oxford team ... Ogogo gets my vote. What a shift. Hats of to the police too, high profile but low key, and they must have been boiling in their gear!
#UTG
Mental. I gave up at 3-1 and took the dog to the park. Then when I got back, madness !!!!! I should have known to stick with this team. Well done Gas
#UTG
I feel really content with the Gas after those two good wins at the weekend. Three remaining home games against quality opposition to come … a packed Mem, a buzzing fan zone, and the sun will be shining (even at the night game). Another 9 points perhaps?
#utg
@Official_BRFC
@Joey7Barton
Thanks Wael (for this excellent update and for all that you continue to do for the club. Perhaps this insight might encourage a little more positivity from the ‘dark side’ of the fab base? I truly hope so
#utg
Good news from the Gas just keeps on coming - Community support through lockdown, training ground, Board level changes, good people being recognised, debt managed, good youngsters being signed, Gasheads being generous ... I love my club
#UTG
Another solid game from Big
@nickanderton_
again today. He and the irrepressible
@jbelly31
both played a massive part in today’s 3 point haul. Enjoyable game, much needed result
#UTG
@Stephensmart64
@waelalqadi
You don’t speak for me Steve. Recent performances have been a cut above what we had sheen seeing. New signings certainly have potential, and the new Gaffer has impressed me with his approach. I am 100% behind the lads (including the Board)
#utg
Lots to like about
@Official_BRFC
today. A good win, a good team performance, a few incredible shifts (Saunders, Anderson) and great to see that Whelan can still do it! I was in pressed with AC10’s defensive efforts too
#UTG
@MirrorPolitics
Is this right? 21,000 potential super spreaders are coming to the Uk every day, and that’s ok, yet I cant pop down the road to have a cup of tea at my mum’s? I despair.
If you wanted the boys to lose last night, and you call yourself a Gashead, then you really are quite odd. Stay away by all means, but stop banging on about it
#UTG
Another shout out to the media team at
@Official_BRFC
- the away kit launch and the integration of the new screen with the patter of
@TheLanceCook
was top drawer. Well done lads
#UTG
Brett Pitman’s second was worth the £16 admission on its own today. A very good 15 minute debut from him. Some nice little cameos too. Although Oxford bossed possession for most of the game - they lost!
#UTG
I won’t spend another £ on iFollow, and my missus will put a block on my next season ticket as things are (for my own sanity). There is a terrible lack of leadership from the very top, and then at every level throughout the club. Someone needs to step up and quick
#UTG
Hope that the second half save from Mr Jaakkola gets included in today’s
@Official_BRFC
match highlights - look pretty good from where I was standing. Seems to me he gets better with every game
