Barton didn't drive at 31mph though. He crashed an uninsured Mercedes. He could have killed someone. Again. Oh dear! Oh dear Oh dear oh dear.😲 Oh deary me! At least you said "could have", not "would have.", but you definitely had a Forum car crash with that one. Let Joey and his top-notch lawyers be benevolent towards you, if the Mersey Mafia don't find you first. Sleep well.

No Jesus Bath, So it's somebody else's fault? At what point do we expect people to take responsibility for their own actions and mistakes, or deliberate disregard for the law.With immediate effect. To that end, I fully expect Oldie and several others to now go to their local police station and hand themselves in for the various times they have driven at 31 mph in a built up area. We must all take full responsibility for our actions. Indeed. We’re not equating driving without insurance with driving at 31 mph in a 30 mile area are we? UTG!

The operational takeover has already happened Vaughan. Eddy Jennings has been given the role of Head of Football Operations, which is a fancy title for Head of Recruitment or Tommy W's old job. Hardly a takeover! BTW, in latest pre-match interview, it seems that the Mersey Mafia, led by JB, "threatened" to buy Exeter City and sack their managerial team. Don't take football too seriously or it will eat away at you. Didn't you listen to Tom Gorringe's leadersinsport.com interview ? Eddy Jennings manages the entire football operations budget which must make up the vast majority of Rovers annual spending. I haven't listened to the pre-match interview but epping's post about the people JB has brought in did make me wonder what would happen if potential new owners expressed an interest in buying Rovers but said they wanted their own manager and backroom team. Who would be responsible for paying up these contracts ? Just for a bit of fun here is the list with my own estimates of contract value and length to see what it might cost. Andy Mangan - First Team Coach £120 000 x 2 years = £ 240 000 Tom Short - Head of Sports Science £100 000 x 2 years = £ 200 000 Greg Short - Strength and Conditioning £ 80 000 x 2 years = £ 160 000 Glen Whelan - First Team Coach £ 150 000 x 1 year = £ 150 000 Danny Ventre - First Team Coach £ 80 000 x 2 years = £ 160 000 Stuart Leake - Head of Medical £100 000 x 2 years = £ 200 000 Chris Gibson - Board member ( Director) £100 000 x 2 years = £ 200 000 Joe Barton – Manager £250 000 x 3.5 years = £ 875 000 Chris Spendlove - Chief Scout £ 80 000 x 2 years = £ 160 000 Total £ 2 345 000

Tragic, as was the case of the guy driving along at 31mph when a pushchair suddenly came out in front of his car. Lives lost and lives ruined. (true story from when I did the course than than take the points, and boy does it hit home)
Truth be told, but for the grace of god that could have been anyone who drives a car (including people on here god forbid)
The law was broken, with the awful consequences.
Fully comp cover? You can drive anyones car with their permission, everyone knows that dont they? Well, that was what I thought and I'm pretty damned sure 99% of people on here would have thought the same.
So some whiter than white people on here need to cut the sanctimonious b/s due to the name of the person involved.
Find something more important to moan about, there are plenty more important things in life to care about at the moment.
(not u Wareham, UTG)

Sorry to hear about your friend. The driver involved was drunk, which I have no truck with - you don't get drunk and drive by accident. Whereas, as has been pointed out, it is quite feasible to mistakenly drive somebody else's car under the assumption that you are insured via your own insurance.

Yes, I do say so - because it is a fact. Whilst it is very sad for anybody who has lost a friend or relative in any sort of car crash, it doesn't mean that everybody who drives without insurance does it deliberately, and with knowledge.

I'm pretty sure neither Faustus, Bath, Vaughan, nor Barton's lawyers are really foolish enough not to have understood exactly what I meant, but since some have pretended to, I'll clarify for the apparently pigheaded.
1. Barton didn't drive at 31mph though. Well I suppose he might have done. I meant that this is not what he went to court for.
2. He crashed an uninsured Mercedes. That's the report, isn't it.
3. He could have killed someone. Assuming this was not deliberate, he lost control of a car, crashing it. This could have killed someone.
4. Again. Yes, again, he could have killed someone. About a hundred pages ago (a rough guess) this thread details violent crimes for which Barton has been prosecuted, including some that could have killed the victim.
5. Pretend you think I meant Barton has killed someone if you wish to. It's folly. As far as I know, in each of Barton's violent crimes, the victim definitely survived, luckily. In a couple of cases they could have been killed. Thankfully they survived.
Let me know of there's anything else you need to waste time on. You're right that my concise post had potential ambiguity. You're wrong if you think I believe you're foolish enough not to have interpreted my meaning. I can't wait for the horrible little thug to be gone, and Bristol Rovers can be about football, not endless bloody criminal trials. Jesus Christ, indeed.

Here's a little montage of facts. An example of a mistake when driving. And some other stuff.

The weired thing is, a few people seem to have a major beef with JB and say "its now all about Barton rather the the football club".
But who chooses to make it about Barton? Its those same people! They will comment on JB behaviour, dig up stuff old stuff, analyse comments in the media, dig up more stuff, and go on and on about Barton. They wont let it be about the football club.
If only they would lighten up and try the football. Its pretty easy.
And much healthier for them I bet

You sure, mate? Isn't Barton risking relegating us from the third division? Again.

He is charged with assaulting his wife, not us, he has been found guilty of driving an uninsured vehicle, not us, he picks the team, not us and the club is lying in the relegation zone. Other than that it's all good. 🤔🤔
