@BearsBeyondGate And what was the outcome? It was a bloody bore,
All the scrums were as sterile as Louis Pasteur.
Quins momentum-killing sh*thousery was poor,
So many medics on we could've invoked force majeure,
It made my fake blood boil as the Big Game deserved much more.
@BearsBeyondGate Bears Big Bad Day Out, not just pony but a full-on mare,
We hoped for a feast of points but didn't show any flare.
Officials did their job, they've a duty of player care,
But forgot their duty to us (we've paid our fair share),
To let the game flow, be excited by the rugby fare.
Not least on the wallet!
'Bristol Bears Big Day Out defeat was a bitter body blow on many levels'

@BearsBeyondGate A bears Big Day Out against the Quins,
Backing return match back to back wins,
Having smoked them at their HQ,
We reckoned to score a fair few,
But played the reverse of out of our skins.
@BearsBeyondGate A flat performance, yet we still could have won,
A game of fine margins, as tight as they come,
The whys and wherefores can at length be discussed,
But at the end of the day in Pat we must trust.
Did we nail the line up?
All this and more including a round up of news in and around the club and the extent to which Welford Road is a 'happy hunting ground'

@BearsBeyondGate There's a rugby scribe called Tom English,
Who by birthright seems to be Irish,
But he's so erudite,
As his words take flight,
Like half of their team he just seems to be Scottish.
@BearsBeyondGate A visionary head coach called Steve Borthwick,
Had a radical game plan called bore-kick,
But even emperors get deposed,
For wearing invisible clothes,
As this tactic was exhumed from the Jurassic.
@BearsBeyondGate
Borthers gambles like an old boy band,
One Direction is his only hand.
Whilst the Celts rolled dice,
The Joker's blinked twice,
Worst score ever, a busted flush with Eng-er-land?
@BearsBeyondGate
To Borthers the Bears poetry is anacronistic,
Just the 43 times did he get England to kick it,
In Limmeric it rained,
And yet England 'A' refrained,
With Bear-infused ambition deserving a sonnet.
Well, maybe not 🤣
@BearsBeyondGate The reigning champs flew in from Bordeaux,
Their drumstick fans expecting the coq to crow,
And when it came to le crunch,
Fortune smiled on that bunch,
As we couldnt clip their wing in a mighty show.
@BearsBeyondGate BBTG, sporadic podcast award flirts,
So full of Bears DNA that it sometimes hurts,
From BBF to the BBC,
Down to AG Stad in BS3,
Ought to have letters on the back of your shirts.
61 points...
Away from home...
On the road in Europe in South Africa....
Across hemispheres...
From the depths of winter to the middle of summer...
On the High Veld...
At altitude...
To score 9 tries...
@pbrealey@BearsBeyondGate@BristolBears They pod from a tap room with a cheeky beer,
Pouring rugby banter and tipsy good cheer,
With a sus bobblehat sell-out,
As dark as BBF's Milk Stout,
Wishing y'alll a Merry Brismas and a Happy New Year!
Keep up the good work, boys - it's much appreciated 👍
Merry Christmas @BearsBeyondGate listeners!
Sunning myself in 🇹🇭 but hoping to watch the @BristolBears game on Saturday live!
The flag has now done Cardiff, Glastonbury, Australia and now Thailand. It's had a successful year...👊

Due to international logistics (🇹🇭) there won't be a pod this week which is a shame as the hyperbole button would have gone into overdrive 🤪...
However we are going to try and do one after the Newcastle game...🤞
🌲🏉Merry Xmas🏉🌲
Oh my @BristolBears... 🤪
It's the middle of the night in 🇹🇭 and that half was worth staying up for.
👊 Physicality off the charts!
🏉Ball carrying skill level insane!
🎻 Jordan's string-pulling maestro-esque!
💩 All round utter filth!
