If you don’t care, why do you keep posting on here? I think you know very well, since I've explained it so thoroughly and often, that I care very deeply about the desperate state of Bristol Rovers. But I just cannot care about the result of a match contested by Joey Barton's team. That's why I'm still on the 'Joey Barton is unfit to manage Bristol Rovers' thread, but I haven't written a word to the Matchday thread. Sorry, but I'm certain you're not that stupid.

I had a direct message today from a fine long-term member of this forum, whom I won't name, who is (I hope just for now) done with Bristol Rovers and Gas Guzzler alike. Kegan Towngas Degg might care more about City's 1982 attendances than that lifelong gasheads have walked away from Bristol Rovers Football Club over this embarrassing and amoral appointment, but that's not what I care about the most. These people just love a social media celebrity bringing his profile and fame to Bristol Rovers, even if both were achieved purely by violence and arrogance. This is sad, but I've met such supine people before; I don't care. What I really care about is serious people on here, who ought to know better (and I believe without evidence that they do) condoning or sidelining Barton's character, as if it's judgemental or prejudice not to promote an unrepentant violent criminal as leader of a football team followed by children. Joey Barton should not be ostracised. He should not be outcast or unemployed. Like all ex-cons, he should be supported to find gainful employment in the sort of job which does not require DBS checks or good character. It's in the public interest, after all. I would even support his rehabilitation in the factory, warehousing, driving, and trade jobs others feed and house their children by working, although some of these really do require good character, so it's a sacrifice to some degree. But he cannot be the face of Bristol Rovers Football Club. Not if we retain any sort of moral courage. Barton won't be here in two years time. Who else won't? Shame on you, Bristol Rovers Football Club. EDIT: I just looked at tonight's result and matchday thread, and I realised. I don't care. It doesn't matter any more. That message I received all makes sense now. I get it, Sir. That’s just it, I don’t care about 1982’s attendances. I was answering a question from another poster. And Barton is the face of Bristol Rovers. A great number of people are very supportive of this. I expect you you were very disappointed that Barton didn’t storm the pitch and chin the ref for sending McCormick off. Never mind, give it time.

Maybe because the referee never turned his back on him.

He’ll need to chin someone pretty quickly or he’ll lose the opportunity because the sands of time are already running out. It took barely 2.5 months for those cock-a-hoop at Tisdale’s appointment on the other forum to turn on him and want him out. Tick tock tick tock....

There’s too many childish and self righteous digs at our current manager. Who can honestly say they have never lost their temper or acted incorrectly? There’s only been one perfect person .. and that didn’t end well. Football is a passionate game.. it’s arguably been sadly lacking in Bristol Rovers teams recently. I think we should judge as we find... the past is the past...

We’re still in the smiley people person phase. Fleetwood sacked him after a bust up with another of footballs nice guys, ched Evans, and there were reported to be several altercations with other players. People who think the players need a kick up the backside will be looking forward to this I expect. People offended by Coughlan having a dig at lines in an interview less so

I think we should judge as we find... the past is the past... Well, I’ve never done any of the things Barton has done because I can control my temper, so I guess that allows me to stand in judgement? But even that aside some of what fuels my cynicism of Barton is the way some long standing Rovers fans who have some moral fortitude and object to his signing have been mocked and pilloried by other Rovers fans with no compassion for the fact that their stance is perfectly valid. That really boils my piss.

How many of us have done the things he’s done? Not me. Nor anyone I know. It’s not normal temper tantrum stuff

Trying to normalise stubbing out cigars and teeth mysteriously falling out, like it happens all the time 😂 Y’know, just go out for a quiet drink, minding my own business and then BAM! I’ve accidentally stubbed my cigar out in someone’s eye when I really just meant to stub it out on their neck 🤷♂️

Well Starnes did say when GC left they wanted the club to go in a different direction, and they’ve delivered. Thanks to @vlad, we can laugh at this awful mess. It'll be funnier if Barton gets jail time.

'A great number' of other people are appalled that this violent criminal 'is the face of Bristol Rovers'. But they can all go hang, right? I’m not saying they can go hang. They have the freedom to express their views. I respect their views but don’t accept them, so in their minds can I go hang? The fact is, Barton is our manager. I am happy with that and I hope he can save us from relegation then improve us next season. I paid my £10 last night to watch the game. My money will help the club as they get a % of it. What I saw was a committed, organised display where, especially in the first half we were much the better team. We should have gone in 2 -0 up. We were undone by naivety on McCormicks part. They scored whilst we adjusted adjusted to the dismissal. I write all this as I know you will not have watched the game or listened to the RB commentary because you are so disgusted that he is our manager. As you are entitled to do.

So now you’ve decided that insanity is the only reason anyone could support Barton’s appointment. And yet you cry and wail if anyone says the Barton Outers ought to take a step back and give him the opportunity to show he can be a changed person. What’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander old chap. Which in your case is particularly relevant.

How can the 'Barton Outers' take a step back when Criminal Proceedings will be taking place against Barton in 3 Month's time?. Whatever the charge's maybe, those charges will be given on our watch, to an employee of Bristol Rovers Football Club. The media circus that will follow will probably be applauded by the 'Barton In's' and any charges will be forgotten immediately as 'it was in the past' whereas the 'Barton Outers' like myself will see it as a shameful and sad day for our football club, a day that should and could have been avoided.

I think this 'great number' of people who are appalled by the appointment of Barton and those that have 'lost their minds' being supportive of him being the face of BRFC, is a somewhat of an exaggeration. Social media does have that unfortunate effect of amplifying views to the extent that some people thing you either have to be in one camp or the other. If truth be told, I think the vast majority of football fans (not just Rovers) don't really care all that much who the manager is or who the owner is. They want to turn up on a Saturday, meet up with friends and hope to see the occasional good game of football.

Those are essentially the three camps of Gasheads at the moment, as I see it.

There is nothing any of us can do about Barton being manager. We either support the club or we don’t. It’s our choice. I’m prepared to give him a chance and will continue to support the team.

Whatever group we are in we should respect the group those others are in and debate the issue accordingly, sadly there doesn’t to be much in the way of understanding in that sense.
