If hes as bad as he's made out to be how come the Guardian newspaper have done a big article on him? If he is this violent criminal they wouldn't of given him a platform.

I was very "anti" when I first heard of the appointment. However having listened to his interview I'm now prepared to judge him purely on his time whilst on the BRFC payroll. Running out of time to see us in the Premier League in my life-time, so praying he has suddenly matured (especially as he has young children) and will "deliver"! His kids are 7 and 11 so that hasn't prevented him from continuing his violent outbursts. In the words of Stuart Lee: "Yeah, but you can prove anything with facts".

It wasn’t your post Viad it was shoveles - but thanks anyway for the reply I’m not adverse to humour , but cannot cope with so say gasheads who say they would rather not support the club with Barton in charge , good riddance , u don’t pick and choose , if you are a true supporter ! Your post was amusing 👍utg Perhaps one day you'll learn to respect other peoples opinions, rather than express a petulant 'good riddance' to people who don't agree with you. Is a true supporter defined by their ability to have blind faith? This appears to be afflicting a few people right now, so you're not alone. If you want to continue giving money to, and supporting a Club that has appointed a convicted violent criminal as manager, that's down to you. It's a free country. Personally I've decided to call time on it until that manager and Wael go forth and multiply. I don't 'have' to support something I find so alien to my core values. So I think you'll find I can pick and chose. Because it's a free country. I'll be back (properly) when my Rovers is back.

He has a violent criminal past, that is a fact. The Guardian exists to sell newspapers. Joey Barton is a controversial figure. I am pretty sure all papers will be carrying an item on his appointment at Bristol Rovers, as this helps sell copy. Previous articles from the same newspaper are less than complimentary. I don't think anyone is 'making him out' as bad. They are just quoting from an unbelievably long list of unsavoury incidents that have brought him into the public eye. Appearing in the public eye is something he craves, rather like our poor deluded star struck owner. Top tip. Try googling.

I simply asked you to respect other peoples opinions. And it's not good bye. It's au revoir. If Rovers hit a winning streak, don't stress yourself, I will not be back. Yes, I have principles. Though I have no idea why you would use upper case. "Unbelievable", would appear to cover your use of grammar.

Nice to have you back even if I can't back you up on this occasion, For the Toteend4 withdrawing our support is not an option. With more than 200 years collectively following the Gas. Over the years, we have not always liked the some of the players, managers and owners but our support of Bristol Rovers is unwavering.
Our last four managers have all had a number of fans withholding their support during their respective tenures.This appointment is off the scale for dividing opinion and this time it's not so much the expression that ''managers come and go ' if JB is unable to halt the slump, then it will be more of a case of 'Scum and Go!'

Makes you feel sick to the pit of your stomach. That's disgust, Emperor. It's not disappointment, or even diamay. You're feeling sick with disgust. I am Emperor Superbus and I support this Duck! or is it ducky? Shall I just stick with Duck? okay. So here we are then, gathered like a league of gentlemen, to discuss the thing, and what it is we are going to do about the thing. I say again, tough on Barton, tough on the Causes of Barton. We need to know how this happened, to ensure it never happens again. additionally, add to a list anyone displaying Barton Fandom, we need to sweep them up later by unleashing the prairie dogs if we are to get our Rovers back. We need to be tough on this misplaced Barton Fandom, because there is no intellectual or emotional justification for supporting this shallow, fraudulent twat of a man. I understand the “other place” is a vermicious nest of these fan girls, so my first big policy suggestion is this. A tunnel. Yes a Tunnel, underneath this other place, and when they are all asleep, go up and piss in their lager. It won’t make a huge material difference, but should allow us to begin our work with a warming glow of satisfaction. So what makes Barton Fandom tick? What are the solutions to this current crisis at rovers? If it was as simple as they share Bartons love and understanding of Nietzsche, then I can solve that with merely one or two posts on just this one forum. Leave that to me. If they still think he has potential to be a good football manager despite failure at Fleetwood and his possessing zero positive managerial and leadership traits, it will take longer, but also easy to eventually get them to realise this is his last managerial post in football league before his bs is finally found out. If we are right, and he is a rubbish manager, we don’t have to do much, he will prove this to the world. If it’s generational thing, and they can plead young and immaturity then I will actually enjoy embarrassing them about it when they grow up. More serious if it’s lefty politics rallying around their man, like lefty politics rallied around Jeremy Corbyn (Barton did return to the Labour fold to stand up for Corbyn) this a juvenile emotional, almost evangelical attachment, not founded in anything intellectual, meaning it will just be difficult to reason with them. But we will get there. We will remove him, hopefully in time for a summer rebuild for L2. Getting rid of Wael I think is ultimately the bigger problem if we want our Rovers back. Annex A.

I wouldn’t - it’s full of morons spouting ludicrous crap about Rovers. If you want a bit more balance and sense than Gaschat I can recommend OTIB Hey Admin, can we have the LOL option? Please, I just like as a substitute, right now

Utg There are many who have come from his background who have not been violent and have achieved great things. Sorry but I don’t think that’s anything to use as a way of absolving him
