Neno is joined by Max, Mike, and Weeksy to discuss the breaking news of Paul Tisdale's sacking on Wednesday afternoon. The timing, reasoning, and whether the boys agree with the decision are all on the table as the GasCast gang dissect the latest managerial bombshell in BS7.

As well as all the reaction, the guys discuss the Oxford game, and if Tommy Widdrington can get Rovers fired up for a huge clash against Swindon on Saturday.

As the bookies start theorising at the next man to become Bristol Rovers manager, Weeksy makes the case for Nigel Adkins, whilst Max proposes bringing Darrell Clarke back to the club. And Neno has a surprise preference for manager.

After Rovers got hit for six by Accrington Stanley on Tuesday, Neno's joined by Max Alderson & Nick 'Weeksy' Weeks to pick the bones out of an embarrassing defeat at The Wham Stadium.

Is it time for Tisdale to go? Should Widdrington be taking some of the blame? And where was the fight from the players in Lancashire?

The lads discuss these questions & much, much more on this week's particularly cheery episode of GasCast!

Mets and Caz are joined by Mike Willet to talk all things Gas.

A limp 2-0 defeat at the Kassam was followed by a strong performance at London Road to earn Rovers a point away at Posh.

The gang chat about what a difference Oztumer and Nicholson made coming back into the side and how with a bit more composure in front of goal we could have nicked it. At the other end Joe Day faced a barrage of shots, but dealt with them admirably and Alfie was on hand to clear the one he missed.

They talk about the areas of the team that need strengthening while the window is still open and the one incoming of George Williams. His arrival had meant Ehmer can go back to his natural centre back position and this paid dividends at Posh with JCH completely shut out.

They look forward to the Rochdale game that should be a classic with Dale scoring 15 and conceding 17 in their last six games.

Mets sat down for a chat with  writer, author, broadcaster, journalist and most importantly Gashead David Goldblatt.

Among his books are The Games: A Global History of the Olympics, The Game of Our Lives: The Meaning and Making of English Football, Futebol Nation: A Footballing History of Brazil, and The Ball Is Round: A Global History of Football.

David started supporting Rovers after moving to Bristol and living just off Gloucester road. He talks about his experiences at the Mem as a fan and his one solitary away day. He picked a good un as it was the 2015 Playoff final!

David also talks about his work with the Rapid Transition Alliance and his reoprt 'Playing against the clock' which talks about the responsibility of sport to climate change and the measures that can be taken to reduce carbon emissions.

Lastly they talk about the rampant inequality in the game and how 'project big picture' could potentially change the game if it goes through.

A new manager holds the reigns at Bristol Rovers FC, but the road to success will be a long and arduous one if current form continues. Caz is joined by Max and vlogger Charlie Hayne to discuss two disappointing performances on the road.

Max believes the players must take full responsibility for the poor start to the season, and that key signings have vastly underperformed. Charlie discusses the need for a new striker amidst a bumpy injury crisis. Caz pushes to see more of Koiki on the wing.

Lots of chat about Upson's return to the side, the upcoming FA Cup 2nd Round fixture against Darlington, and the change in shape to a back four.
