Shocked and sickened by this. How on earth do you erase (what were) pleasant memories of your youth ?

The problem is that we all tend to make jokes about any situation and although it isn't meant to trivialise the subject maybe it does ? I am a great believer in trying to take a positive from any situation, so maybe this incident could make people realise that sexual deviancy isn't a laughing matter and that at least on this forum posters could stop referring to rival supporters as paedophiles or incestuous,I find it vile and not funny.

Joe 90 forgot all about him. Is he still around. Not for much longer allegedly. Banned from the ground and away games too. Heard bits n bobs about it but left it until confirmed and I only found out yesterday that it was. He will not be near anything to do with Rovers now.

There's no need to get emotionally hysterical about this. To me, it's quite simple : I actually disagree if he's been banned from watching. I'm not condoning his behaviour, but it isn't the club's responsibility to ban fans from attending if there hasn't been misconduct directly involving the club. Ban him from employment, that's fine. Don't ban him from being just a fan. I'm sure lots will disagree, but please formulate logistical argument instead of being fixated with outrage.

I am glad that he has been banned from attending matches,I think that it sends out the right message ie paedophiles are not ok and most people don't want to associate with them. I also think that the ban will be the only part of his 'punishment' that will have any effect on him,suspended sentence...big deal,chat with the Pastor..more BS....banned from going to the Rovers which he has been doing for 50 years (?) now thats going to be a big part of his life gone.
Obviously Paedophilia is a disgusting and terrible crime and the club are to be congratulated on their swift response but it does make me wonder if people who are convicted of other very serious crimes should get bans too ?

Despite the distasteful content, it is quite an interesting subject for discussion. I know Rovers fans who have killed, should they be banned? Anyway, we aren't allowed to discuss serious subjects here and it won't be long before someone gets really outraged

Don't ban him from being just a fan. I'm sure lots will disagree, but please formulate logistical argument instead of being fixated with outrage. I will try to address your points as given. I guess his photo will be sent to all of our opponents There are a fair amount who take their kids and many would not know of him. I know it’s speculation but if you read up about paedophilic behaviour then it can escalate to horrendous proportion. I think he would be in serious danger if he was seen at a game. He can watch in ifollow. I am a much more tolerant and forgiving human being than I used to be but I think there is just way too much potential for harm here and most likely to him. I would imagine he would be savvy enough to understand that it would be better if he doesn’t go. I won’t apologise for saying that I think he should be banned. Some things are just beyond the pale and this is one. That’s it my friend. Given you ask for reasons for him not to go, can you give any reasoning why you think he should ?
