Wow Mango. That's seriously patronising towards someone who has supported (in many more ways than most of us) Rovers for over 50 years. Hope you had a great day Grant, but the person who deleted their account came across as having a child’s hissy fit because Rovers won. The account deleted with quite an offensive name on the mobile app. Won't miss looking at that.

<a fantastic feeling of what it is to be a GasHead. Endeavour. Passion. Fight. A feeling of belonging.> Endeavour and passion, yes, but it's the wrong kind of fight that invariably ends up in a school playground face-off. Not surprising though with a manager who has a mental age of eight. That is not the Rovers I've followed for 60 odd years. He is infuriating at times, I hope he wins manager of the month and gets off his 2 charges so we can get on with getting back to L1

Are you watching the games, supporting the team? Wanting them to win. It will never be perfect, do you think all Chelsea fans are satisfied? Rovers are winning, I dislike B***** but want him to succeed because we succeed. While he is here, negativity however 'realistic' or 'morally right' is unhelpful. The point has been over done. We get it. Today was very good, its down to B*****. If he won the CL with Rovers I do not believe that you would stick to your principles. He brings all of his issues on himself, a lot of bad press to the club, but we are slowly improving and we should all get behind the team. Whoever is in charge Unfortunately, I think he is going to get found guilty of one of the offences which would be typical Rovers when he is just starting to turn it round. If he is found not guilty of both, watch us go. He will have January to add to an already strong squad. Listen to Tom Foley who spoke about his team talks. Do yourself a favour and open your eyes to what is happening gradually at the club. Today was a massive statement of intent and how we can finally compete in this league. Let's get this straight. You are conceding that some of this stuff being said, whilst negative, is morally correct, but you are unhappy about it, therefore, by default, you are advocating for a lack of negativity, even if that strays into being immoral. Geez, what a position to place yourself in in in exchange for sporting entertainment. I pity you. I wouldn't care if he won the CL and also managed England to winning the WC and the Euros at the same time, unless he changes his ways and convinces me that he actually understands what it is that's wrong about his previous behaviour I'll have no time or respect for him or anything he's associated with. I'm only here waiting for the door to hit his disgusting arse as he leaves. As a foot note, so what if the team can compete in the 4th division. It's B*****'s fault we were relegated in the first place. Punchy out. No I agree with the points and called for him to be sacked after the holocaust comment, but saying the same thing after we have won if unnecessary and unhelpful. Doesn't support the club or players. Reminds me of the last few weeks of Coughlan's reign. Why i say careful what you wish for. I was very happy with boring functional football sitting 4th in L1. Thanks for the pity, but I am not a victim. It's football and I want Rovers to win. I wish he was not in charge and we had someone BETTER, but he is here and we can do nothing about it. This is getting boring. I hope they win on Tuesday, I hope they beat Tranmere, blah blah

Like many, I never expected Joey to get us to the dizzy heights of 14th in league 2. I wouldn’t call it a massive statement of intent and it doesn’t quite match the Dagenham game, but it’s a big step up from being d*cked at home every fortnight and earns him a lot more praise than any other manager would have got for how far he’s taken us. That said, I’m really pleased with the win and would absolutely love to turn over Matty Taylor’s Oxford next. Apparently he limped off today with an arm injury 😂. B***** out Yeah I am also really pleased. The atmosphere away to Walsall was the best since DnR. (I don't mean do not resuscitate) B***** promised us a better performance after the team gelled and we are now seeing it. He will be given time now, unless the long arm of the law picks him out first.

After 138 years our club can finally compete in League 2 ? Well that's where we are now Swiss and yes ,we are competing.A significant performance imo,I think we'll now begin to close the gap on the play offs.

Whelan will probably get a 1 match suspension,can that be used up in the Oxford Cup game,or must it be a 4th tier game?

We could win he Champions League and I still wouldn’t support a convicted Thug and wife beater.I wish for him to be erased from the club, not too much to ask if our owner wasn’t such a chocolate teapot. Have I somehow missed the trial? Indeed - I believe that should have read as "alleged wife beater". Although he is a convicted thug, he has not been convicted of domestic violence.

All the comments I've seen on this thread concerning the penalty are saying it shouldn't have been given.
Sorry, but from where I was sitting in the East Stand it was a penalty all day long, and watching the highlights shows nothing to change that view.
Taylor clearly misses the ball and connects with the opposition player.
It's one of those unfortunate instances (similar to the penalty we were awarded at Oxford) where there isn't a clear goal-scoring chance, the defender has no intention of committing a foul, is making an honest attempt at making a clearance, but is a fraction of a second late and connects with man rather than ball.

I think we have a small window to be rid of him before we are forever associated with him and are called joey B*****’s Bristol rovers ad nausea and i hope we manage to get him out of the proverbial window. He has already caused such reputational damage. It’s only a matter of time before he doe something else. He’s a damaged man, don’t let him further damage us personally, I’d rather watch us, in any league, lower or higher, sans his presence

Penalty to Northampton very much against the run of play.
First 10 minutes the game could have gone either way, end-to-end stuff, very much down to the different formations the teams put out, but we established superiority through sheer hard work, determination, and some rather impressive passing football at times.
Coutts/Whelan mid-field partnership - okay, they might not have the pace of some in getting around the pitch. Sometimes it's about what you do off the ball: marking; tracking; positioning; pressing; blocking the route of a through ball. Sometimes it's about doing the simple things right: winning and shipping the ball.
They might not be my favourite players, but their partnership worked well in front of a back 3. It does rely on having flair players, and pacey players around them. Having Finley in front of them, and there were some good moves through him in the hole behind the front men. Having the likes of Nicholson, Evans, and Thomas on the pitch. Having a big onus of the wing-backs - and boy did Grant and Anderson both get through some shift yesterday!

Think you're correct Concept. Awkward ,abit of a bugger but a penalty .

Wow Mango. That's seriously patronising towards someone who has supported (in many more ways than most of us) Rovers for over 50 years. Any negativity after today is actually pathetic from true fans. If that's patronising then I give up. In the current moment, today, that was a good performance.. Interesting point. I posted a snippet of action on the pitman injury time equaliser v Bradford where JAB jumps on his coach in celebration of a Gas goal.... A reaction unprompted, spontaneous....of course it received criticism. DC done something similar on Browner's right foot. Imo any true fan would be positive on us scoring a legitimate goal, and thus equally positive in unison celebration....but some still find something negative to contribute! That's fine....we are all different. I'm guessing we are all content with our own position, so am not out to change opinion just say what I think I see. Great performance v Cobblers and their manager post match comments paraphrase as much.....dear oh dear when you bemoan a technicality, and level accusations you do yourself,it makes you sound like a hypocritical @ss and makes our victory even sweeter after sleep on it. But hey, B***** is an @ss too, and to some that's more important.

Hope you had a great day Grant, but the person who deleted their account came across as having a child’s hissy fit because Rovers won. I can't speak for others Reg, so will leave it there. Great game yesterday, totally deserved win and a good atmosphere. So yes, thoroughly enjoyed it! Have to say that the critical comments about the ref seem unfair to me as thought he managed the game really well. Whelan should have known better than to concede 2 soft yellow cards but thankfully the resilience of the players meant it didn't matter. Josh Grant magnificent and hopefully the substitution was precautionary only. Your absence was duly noted and it was pointed out that the first two rounds next week are on you and the Green nosed one. UTG.

I was sat in East Stand this time and thought the ref had the right to give pen. Many thought not. If it was reversed I would have shouted PEN!

Good Bristol sporting weekend all round!
Rovers 2 Northampton Town 1 ... great performance. Pitbulls 9 Invicta Dynamos 7 ... very enjoyable evening, straight from the football. Exeter Chiefs 27 Bears 33 ... they appear to be turning round a poor start to the season too.

A slightly more significant goal. Plus DC could do no wrong in my eyes. I take your point. Will keep my thoughts on B***** to myself. I'm happy for everyone who enjoyed yesterday's game. I wish I could share the joy but I'm afraid I struggle to connect with Rovers atm. Hoping for an early or late birthday present for myself and Dr F

He stuck is leg in front of Taylor with no attempt to play the ball. Unfortunately, in my opinion, too many free kicks are awarded like this, it's a modern aspect of the game.
