This thread and the anti Joe Barton theme is imo the main reason why many,too many,have left this forum. We've had an anti Joe Barton Admin team,that allowed this thread and allowed it to dominate.Indeed,they've led the anti JB thing. Okay,everyone has a point of view and are entitled to it,but the anti Barton theme has damaged this Forum. Maybe it's time for a new Admin person or people. A while ago Dr Faustus offered to pay for the forum rent and I assume he would of had a role in Admin. Why not invite Dr Faustus back,to run the show? Let someone else have ago,perhaps. For the last time Bas, we are not an anti Barton Admin team, we all have differing opinions thanks. This forum has a balanced broad spectrum of fans from very pro [like yourself], some happy with JB, those concerned willing to give him a go until he proves either way [like myself], to those who are very anti and do not attend games but still have a view. Are you suggesting we become the equivalent of GB News with one view of the 'truth' i.e. those who are pro Barton with no dissent? That is not how forums work I am afraid. In a true democracy people should not be afraid to hear all views, unless those are illegal, or promoting hate. As long as the other Admins agree I think we will stay as we are and all voices may be heard...

He's not on this forum now is he? Voted with his feet I guess But now has someone speaking for and/or about him? What's that Kafka story about the nose?

I'm not in contact with DrF.I mentioned him because a few months ago he offered to pay for the online bill of this forum I thought someone who is in touch could ask him if he fancied being involved here,on this forum.

As long as the other Admins agree I think we will stay as we are and all voices may be heard... Yes I think that is exactly what Bas would like. An echo chamber where the only voices are those who agree with his own evangelistic views and come to worship his idol with feet of clay. Love how he also volunteers someone else who no longer posts here to take over the forum rather than offer to do anything himself.

Delegation Bas, you have displayed fine Leadership qualities with that post, lot’s of ideas, but not the one to do anything about it. I think that you have to accept that many folk just don’t like Barton, be it the man or the manager. The hardy few Pro-Barton's are swooning over his every breath on this forum, and the snarling Anti-Barton’s bite, and vice versa. This forum is known for it’s mature/rather aged posters, if the whole Admin team are Anti Barton as you say, my thinking is it has to be for good reason.

So it therefore renders the all the rather negative ‘armchair’ posting’s towards our team manager absolutely pointless, albeit, entitled to their opinion - UTG

Next season will show how popular he really is as if he starts like he ended last season then you sense fans will turn on him. Let's just all hope that's not the case.

Bas, you ungrateful fellow, if you really can't stand Gas Guzzler, or this thread in particular (and the fact that such dissent is allowed) then why on earth do you spend such time contributing to it every day? Who does more to keep 'Joey Barton is unfit to manage Bristol Rovers' top? And why should those who say it be shut up by you or Faustus? Well, able to heed (once again) the implication of your whining, I will. I wish you a lovely summer, and will return in October, when news is rumoured.

Just had a knock at the door from the FBI ( Faustus Bureau of Intoxication) asking if I fancied an extended summer break at Guantanamo Bay.
You don’t scare me I said, I can see through your increased transparency.
But after a full and Frank discussion involving cutting edge chiropody I have reluctantly agreed to boycott this thread.
Until Thursday.

I know you are joking but every manager makes the magical transition to the best supporter, when they work for their respective clubs. Just that some are more believable than others.
