Whilst I don't think going to the game is a killing offence, I think Ellis can be very naive at times and his use of Twitter is just daft at times. By all means go watch the game but don't expect people to enjoy it and not have a dig, when you post about it. Very daft lad. I am surprised DC hasn't got rules on use of social media, maybe he has but I am unaware of it ? Stupid boy Pike ! He didn't post it on social media.
With regards to the whole situation, David Pipe got less grief from Gasheads when he fractured someone's skull.
Hitler would have got less grief for starting World War Two.

I'm thinking of going to see the England Women game in December at Ashton Gate. Better iron my hands. I'll be there along with @chewbacca. See you there! I once watched Ebbw Vale rugby club play Llanelli rugby club in the final of the SWALEC Cup at the Gate.....so hang me

In reply to Oldland Glover's "why all the hatred?"...
a) Irrational behaviour: tarring a particular group of people with the same brush, e.g. I hate all people who wear green ties because a bloke wearing a green tie farted in a lift I was in once. b) Posturing: I have a season ticket and also go to a few away games each season. I do nothing to support the club outside of this. However, I would rather [cut off my gonads/stick drawing pins in my eyeballs/tie my todger to the back of horse and smack its arse, etc.] than [watch a football match involving rival team/sit on the same bus as one of its fans/listen to a Wurzels/Chas & Dave/Max Boyce[insert associated artiste] record], therefore I am an uberfan.

I've just seen his interview from Thursday. As a player, I think he's got a bit of swagger, and maybe arrogance, which can be ideal in a striker. Being interviewed, I thought he came across as quite measured, humble and self-aware - not what I was expecting tbh

Which he also did after last season's hat trick, even suggesting he was disappointed to miss a chance! It's odd how people can paint a different picture of themselves on social media etc then they really appear to be.

I don't ''do,'' or understand Twitter if I'm honest, but I would be interested to know what the chattering classes are saying today after last night's contribution to the cause. I know that it's a bit random but I see that ''Ellis' team'' are currently losing 4-0 at home. Life's a bummer, ennit?

That's what you get when their manager says that you have travelled a million miles......without realising that it's been in reverse gear!

He really does bring a smile to my face, does Special Agent Steve Cotterill. I've posted previously some of the ridiculous things that he said when he was the manager of Nottingham Forest, after being tipped-off by one of their supporters. Apparently they didn't know whether to laugh or cry at some of his utterances. The word overpromoted springs to mind, where he's concerned.

Ellis is a kid, 40 year old blokes going on about defectors and treachery have clearly got nothing more than just rovers in their lives. Non story.

The irony is that you are using a forum and that is a big indicator of how much Rovers are in your life. Most of the people I go with don't use any forum or social media and they are all in their 50's BUT none would go watch the sheeads.

Well all I can to that is the very best of luck next time out, on a purely personal level that is. After all I know what a journey Carlisle involves, and at least Rovers got a draw when I last went there. And the absolute bummer part of the trip home was that some of the friendly locals smashed the outer skin of one of the coach windows between Brunton Park and the M6. It was a long, cold and uncomfortable trip home.
