Tranmere

[kent_white]

This is why I can't stand Tranmere. I don't know what they are - or where they're supposed to represent. 

Their fans are shit, they've never achieved owt of note.

Since that play off final, we've been promoted to the prem twice, had European adventures, a couple of cup semi finals and a final, world class players and regularly beaten top class sides. That's not even including promotions from other divisions. 

They've got to be taking the piss or on a wind up to try and compare the two clubs.

Even this season - as soon as we've been able to put a scrabbled together side and they've not been able to nobble a side full of kids, we've battered them. On and off the field if the videos are to be believed.

Hope those cunts get relegated so we get another go next year.

Anyone else around to hear the copper in command absolutely doing his nut at his lot as all the bother was going on outside the station after full time?

Bloke was fuming they'd all ended up chasing people about and broke their own lines. Never heard a copper openly bollocking their own in front of public like that before.

Bumped into Embankment yesterday - he said if we only win one more game this season, I hope its against these.

The lad got his wish! Although I hope we win a few more!

 

Not taking anything away from today's performance/result but I thought we got "the run of the ball" so often. It's been the total opposite so many times this season so we deserved it.

Trashmere were dreadful.... Plastic scouse cunts.....

Win the next 8 and i will start to believe.

Roll on Coventry

Quite apt they've got a crook on their badge, not sure what the broccoli in the top right is about but the spunk splat in the bottom left probably references them being a bunch of wankers.

Was that Bolton youth

And another thing, does Tranmere's club badge look more like something from a school blazer?

I'd show a picture but my daily upload allowance is 0MB

Has a look of the Alan Partridge tie and Blazer Badge combination pack.

Fair play, Bolton deserved the 3 points today. O’Grady ran the show.

Absolute bollocks if you think Bolton had our young lot on their toes. My days are long gone, but I was there and seen the whole lot. Young Bolton lads came out the pub giving it the biggun, Tranmere responded. A few bums went in the Bolton ranks and many backed off, or skipped away. Handbags ensued, then the police jumped in and had Tranmere on their toes down the street.

End of story.

"on their toes" ? I never knew Arthur Daley was posh scouse.

Got to the ground just as their lot were arriving from the station. They were putting some effort in and making a noise but badly mistimed things and were chanting "we're  tranmere rovers we do what we want" as a lone copper opened his arms wide and directed them away from the direction they were going to where he wanted them to be. Too slow on my fone unfortunately.

Survey taken last year or two

While there's not much going on....I was reading an article on the bizarre rivalry between Gillingham and Swindon, so that when they played a total dead rubber on the last day of this season, there was a huge police presence and scuffles in the town centre.  They are 120 miles apart but hate each other because of some fiesty games in 1979/80. 

The article goes on to say its not alone with strange hatred of other clubs that aren't local, eg Norwich and Wolves; Sheff U & West Ham etc, and that Tranmere and Bolton "hate each other because of some overly exuberant play off celebrations in 1991".

So its obviously recognised as a rivalry beyond the 2 clubs, but I thought it started earlier than that Wembley defeat, we already had a rivalry before then.  I'm just not sure what prompted it (other than the fact that every tinpot North West club seems to hate us for some reason).

We played them not sure when exactly might have been before the playoffs at Wembley  and it got called off because the police couldn’t cope with the influx of Bolton expected for the weekend so that got there tails up .
 

Went to the re arranged game midweek wet cold  just a run of the mill midweek winter evening and we took fuck all really  in support and they were up for it Mates car we went in got smashed up 

work with a tranmere supporter and he recons they have a big buy out coming some American rapper

Whatever happened to @Ghana White

Why would Oldham Athletic rank higher than Bury?

I also went to the midweek rearranged game, I'd say we took about 500 stood on the open terrace.  I think it was well before the play offs season, maybe a year or 2 IIRC.  John King the manager put in his programme notes something sarcastic about having to cope with so many Bolton fans expected.  I think we came from behind to win and played them a few times over the next few seasons, usually in important games.

Remember beating them 2-0 at Burnden on the telly and our fans interrupted the minutes silence for Matt Busby.

Remember that day there and Nevin scored in front of our away end at John Aldridge jumped over the hoardings and gave it loads. Hot sunny day, it was wild that day.

First one. Didn’t Sheff Utd get relegated when West Ham cheated by having Tevez and Mascherano?

Subsequently proven but damage had been done by then and they got a cash settlement.

“Tevez's surprise arrival at Upton Park alongside Javier Mascherano in August 2006 was adjudged to have broken Premier League rules over third-party ownership of players. The Hammers were fined £5.5m for the breach but were crucially spared a points deduction, a ruling that set them on a collision course with Sheffield United.

It would end with Tevez inspiring West Ham to safety on the final day of the 2006/07 season at the expense of the Blades, who were relegated on goal difference and sent spiralling into a decade of decline, the scars of which still run deep.”

From Sky sports.

No idea on Wolves and Norwich. Can’t imagine Norwich causing a twinge anywhere other than in Ipswich
