A slip of the tongue. Yet we get all this useless,vindictive spite. Like a gang of small bullies with a shared agenda,get rid of Barton. Sadly we've seen this kind of attitude before at Rovers. Luckily we have a fc owner that knows better. Hang on bas. Let me get this right, youâre suggesting that despite his record on and off the pitch anyone who has a different opinion from you regarding JB are âsmall bulliesâ because he is being challenged over his management? Is that it? Are you serious? Are you aware of how ironic that sounds? UTG!

I think that most, if not all realise it was just a slip of the tongue. Post match interviews can see a manager or player still feeling raw from the emotional ups and downs of the game.The brain may not be as calm or switched on as it usually is. Not in the same 'division ' as boxers post fight interviews eg,but a similar thing.

Bas Perhaps some of us have higher expectations of the manager who represents BRFC He's always trying to convince us he is some kind of modern day philosopher and sage and the language he chooses to use is important because it reflects the club. If you are happy to excuse low standards from him that is your choice. Others expect better. And that's nothing to do with liking or not liking him

Our training techniques have probably never been seen before at Rovers eg. His ideas about soccer are well worth listening to,unless perhaps you already 'know it all'. Regarding his speak,well I admire anyone that tries to improve their vocabulary.I think JB is abit of a reader too. Some seem to resent this,as if they think Joe has ideas above his station. I respect it.

That comment on Saturday perhaps not so bad but heâs got a list so long about other comments made plus all the other stuff. But regarding post-match interviews, 91 other managers do it every week without the headlines JB sometimes gets. Part of the job. And I donât remember past managers of BRFC making so many cringeworthy statements. Tbh I would expect better. And thatâs not bullying is about having higher standards perhaps. UTG!

I respect it. Bas No one resents anyone improving themselves, I grew up on a council estate and believe everyone should have opportunities to improve. But I learnt very quickly when I went to Grammar School that words have consequences and that particular words can inflame situations very quickly, rightly or wrongly. As the saying goes -'act in haste, repent at leisure'.

I try to avoid Americanisms.

I appreciate there are going to be differing opinions on this. Bristol Post have established theirs by editing it out of their online article: But I spoke to the lads in there and said, 'Look, this is not something like Nick (Anderton) is facing that is out of his control and is in the lap of the gods or the doctors. This is something that is absolutely in our control'.Instead of: But I spoke to the lads in there; I said look, nobody's dying of cancer here; this is not something like Nick's facing that is out of his control and is in the lap of the gods or the doctors. This is something that is absolutely in our control.Sometimes it's difficult to make your mind up when looking at words on paper. So here's the interview so you can hear it in context and come to your own opinion. JB's interview in full from 47.40 or straight to the line at 52.05. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0dzvsftPersonally I winced when I heard it on the radio, and I still do now.

I listened to the whole recording now: His player's cancer diagnosis was Recalled straight after uttering his 'look...' I don't dislike the things he says and does Because I just don't like the man he is; in fact, I just don't like the man he is Because of all the things he says and does. We'll each interpret just what Barton meant, But I'll give up the Guzzler now for lent.

Yup, still unfit to manager Bristol Rovers FC. Add to this the concept of âeffort errorsâ and his continual strategy of publicly humiliating his players.
