...Mike has served his ban for his stupid behaviour and has been allowed back on here, in his many guises, maybe that's a factor, I honestly don't know. Blimey, was Mike banned from here? He must have been the first ever.
Sometimes a short time out is good for the soul so take a rest Shoveler, preen your feathers and come back refreshed. xx A number have been either banned temporarily or in extremis sine die, usually for obvious wums. It's not something the moderators or Admin take lightly and is usually in response to a number of complaints. In fact its something that we hate to do as we feel that we should all be treated as adults (even those who whinge! ) We have heard nothing from Shoveler and I like others are disappointed that he has gone. I hope he returns soon.

Hope we hear from mom soon in another of his reincarnations. Mods do a great job but it must be thankless. Damned if they do, damned if they don’t. Sometimes it’s just best to take a rest perhaps and go off and do something different. UTG!

Don't think it's my fault, not this time anyway. Mike has served his ban for his stupid behaviour and has been allowed back on here, in his many guises, maybe that's a factor, I honestly don't know. Check the date that Mr Punchy's court hearing is scheduled for, there's a very good chance that migration flight paths may bring him back this way around about the same time. Take care Shoves, the place is better with you.I’m also not happy with eppinggas not being around. I know Mike Jay aka Harry buckle plus others, had a month ban but seems to have been sooner. Ian, if you are still looking then just pop on once in awhile mate. Cheers Yes, agree KP. Definitely good to have around is epping. UTG

Well DUCK to start with I am not a sir , I am female . I dislike your pompous patronising tone , I feel extremely sorry for Mrs DUCK ( if there is such an unfortunate soul ) The fact that you feel u need to critique a posters grammar and punctuation on a football forum no less speaks volumes about you - enjoy your time away from the gas - I bet you won’t be able to keep away from this forum , you are far to Self important and pompous to abstain .from this place ! Utg Come back allygas he has gone (yet again) sadly he will be back (yet again) maybe he could change his username to something more suitable like Thrush.

Um, I think one thing was ducky boy took exception to being impolitely invited to consume his football in BS3.... And we beat Accy quite easily, thus improving JABs profile...

Must be more careful not mixing Barton's motivation ability with his ability to blow a fuse and assault people from behind.

It was me who was told, this time, that wanting the club to be better run and responsible in the way it considers things such as its public image meant that I wasn't a 'proper supporter' and should join the red mob down at the DSS Arena. But I think that Shoves is beyond bored with yet another person deciding that they should arbitrarily dictate requirements for supporting Rovers.

Interesting Giggs won’t be taking charge of Wales whilst on bail. I guess the public face of a national team is more important than that at a rag bag tin pot league 1 club.

Steady improvement since his arrival and we comprehensively put one of our bogey games to rest.
Come the after match interview we were treated to insightful and encouraging thoughts and views, delivered with no small measure of humour. What a contrast to the last 2 boring charisma free incumbents.
What’s not to like? Surely even the Barton Haters must be changing their minds.

To summarise Trying to be objective but if you’re not a sworn footsoldier then you must be a Barton hater Pleasantly surprised at some of his interviews and Tuesdays result Didnt feel the elation I would have done pre Barton. I want to but can’t, just disconnected from the club in general and see it as a circus I may warm to him to a point but don’t see his going to prison as a badge of honour like a lot seem to If it wasn’t for people like me being against his appointment then I don’t think you’d have these fanatics worshipping the ground he walks on. It’s polarisation. A bit weird

I believe his hearing is scheduled for early May which put the FAW in a tricky position so close to the Euros. As such, I’m lead to believe Robert Page is just the public face for the time being- Giggs is managing by phone while staying out of the spotlight. Unlike Barton as it’s his first offence he’s very unlikely to get a custodial, knowing the FAW though if he’s found guilty they won’t want him anywhere near the dug out going forward, jail time or no jail time.

That’s the problem though, for me, this whole idea that people’s principles should go out of the window because of a 4-1 win against Accrington. If you can’t stand by your convictions just because your football team tells you you can’t well....there are no words. Football is a stupid game, it’s not life or death, it doesn’t feed your family or keep you in a job and it shouldn’t put you in a position where you have to compromise your principles to continue supporting it.

Agree with that wm, it's principles that help guide us through our lives and are key to our decision making. From my own perspective, it's the appointment, and those responsible for the appointment that is the issue not the man personally, to call those that disagree with the appointment on this thread 'Barton Haters' is rather churlish. I have no problem's with pro Barton fan's that is their prerogative and I respect that, they are also fellow Gasheads so should demand a certain level of respect.

It’s polarisation. A bit weird But that’s the point Vlad, it’s not polarisation, not at all. I, like many was surprised by his appointment. He wouldn’t have been my choice, mostly because I’d seen the bad press and I thought he was an out and out bad guy. However he was appointed and so I put my reservations to one side and decided I had to keep an open mind. It turned out I had a very one dimensional view of him. I had accepted he was a horrible person because I had casually observed all the headlines and, like others, had enjoyed the crowd baiting when he was at our place with Fleetwood and jeered joyously when he got sent to the stands by the ref. However, I was surprised by his personality when he was interviewed on arrival, have enjoyed the consistency of his message and admired his wit and humour and have seen there is no small measure of intelligence about the man, far more than there has been shown by most of the managers we’ve played under during my 60 or so years being a Gasheads. So there you go. Whether he is a truly reformed character with regard to how he controls his temper and the red mist, that remains to be seen. The fact is I have revised my opinion of JB, it remains to be seen if he can convince me further but unalloyed, non-critical adoration? Not me.

Put it this way: if you were the head of an organisation that was taking part in a major sporting tournament beamed around the world to a huge audience and your manager had a court case for domestic violence being heard almost exactly a month to the day before the start of that tournament, how would you handle the situation? I don’t think you’d just pretend that it all didn’t happen and plan for your manager to still be in charge of the team somehow!

I would approach with compassion and empathy, until that approach was abused. So....you back your intended. Offer support. Provide time and space for whatever is needed, but importantly get to work on a contingency. A plan b, if you like...?
