Bournemouth - regional rivals? big game? meh? What do YOU think?

[Lady Whistledown]

Just watching this again, there really are some massive thickets in the media. The pundit on there banging on about how that protest was NOT the way to do things. Really? How was your alternative of NOT disrupting a televised football match likely to be more effective then? What a total DICK.

Sanctimonious arse that commentator is. "These are very distressing scenes". What? They're not DISTRESSING in any way. Filipino people with no homes and drinking water following the typhoon is distressing. A child suffering a life threatening illness is distressing. A cat lying in the road having been hit by a car might be distressing to many.

A bunch of blokes running on a football pitch for five minutes, waving a banner is not in any way, shape or form "distressing".

Ironically it was none other than proud 'Cherry' Tommy Elphick that was involved in a handball incident that gifted Bournemouth an equaliser at Withdean last time we met.

Dire game otherwise.

I can't take them seriously as rivals when this is their badge:

They nearly always raise their game against us, especially at their place. I dislike them more than most clubs in this division but can't get too bothered about them. I am intrigued as to why Eddie Howe left Burnley to go back there because however you dress it up they have always been a bit tin pot.

Very much MEH for me.

I like Bournemouth more than the average team:

• It's easier to get to their ground than most potential opponents
• It's a good night out after
• They're not close enough to be a real rival, or have had any major incident over the years to warrant it
• I don't know any of their fans to be massive bellends (I don't know any of their fans)
• I don't know any of their players to have been massive bellends
• I have fond memories of us coming back to draw 3-3 at the Goldstone when Gary Chivers was playing for them (94?).
• When the sun comes out, there are always pictures of attractive young ladies sunning themselves on the beach in Bournemouth in the national press[/INDENT]

It's on the positive side of 'meh' for me...

Big game for me, only 50 miles seperates Lyme from Bournemouth, since their promotion seen a few shirts dotted around Dorchester and surrounding areas.

Looking forward to giving them plenty of stick on Monday when we've stuffed them.

Dead rip-off of B.C Atalanta innint?

Bournemouth fan with his location set as "near skate and seaweed land" So that'd be Southampton's name for Portsmouth and Palace's for us.

NO-ONE CARES ABOUT YOU BOURNEMOUTH. No-one has even bothered to start calling you 'bumfluff' or something equally amusing, that's how little ANYONE cares about your club.

It like one of those reversable pictures, can you see the man standing naked looking down at his feet

I have some unwarm memories of a trip to Bournemouth to watch us slightly boringly draw one year, but the sadness of said visit was from the almost fisticuffs between me and my mother's boyfriend. When i offered him a Jaffa Cake the fiend reached in to snatch around 4 of them and grinningly shove them inbetween his moustachioed lips for greedy munching. That piggy ****er. We had a push and a shove and i think i slapped him thanks to the bulge of thieved bickycake in one cheek. We ended it unscarred though.
Tomorrow, i'd like to see us overperform on Sky so other teams get a bit nervous about us. But i have no rivalry with the Mouths.

Just another match have no likes or dislikes about them. A good result is all that concerns me.

 

[Easy 10]

Late 80's, 2-0 win, including an Ian Chapman flick-and-scissor-kick volley from the edge of the box at the Brighton Beach end. I went disco mental. The local news mistakenly attributed this wondrous strike to Kevin Bremner, but those of us who were there...we knew.

We knew.

True. Apparently they had a little spat with Reading 15 years ago or so. Defoe was leading the line and believe Reading pipped them to promotion to what is now the Championship. They are localish to each other, Reading haven't got a proper rival any more, they really need to get it on and stop bothering the big clubs like us.

super mac super star looks like a woman and he wears a bra

I remember "Dougallmac, Superqueer, how many bums have you had this year?

Am I allowed to say that before the watershed. And I guess that would be a bit ironic now, given our stereotype.

 

[hybrid_x]

i remember early 90s in a mates car leaving hove after we beat them 1-0, and some bmouth were in a car behind us giving it the angry one - we gave them the wrist sign, and then some massive dudes got out at the traffic lights, we sped away, and then they chased after us - it was like some crazy steve mqueen san franciso style car chase through the back streets of portslade............in some sort of football aggro car chase thing.

we got away......just.....i think we were in a fiesta 1.1....lol.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I used to live near Bournemouth and work there. Always thought it distinctly second rate and uninteresting as a seaside resort compared to the Pride of Sussex.

And I just hate the idea of their tinpot little club being above us at all. The beginning of the season, when they were, I found uncomfortable.

But I have a sneaking - well, more than sneaking - admiration for Eddie Howe.

i think super mac..........was also used for the great George Best around that time.

 

[HawkTheSeagull]

Very meh, though they do have a MUCH better beach than us.

Were closer to Millwall and Charlton than Bournemouth too.
