I will support the team till the day I die. Barton though will NEVER get a second support from me. If we won the prem while he is with us I will still hate everything about him. I am embarrassed that the club is employing him. Family club! What a joke.

The North Terrace would disagree with you, happily singing "There's only one Joey Barton". That, at least, we can all agree on! Thank god

Discussion should always be possible without resulting to insults. We all share a common love for Bristol Rovers Football Club, after all.
The manager's record is appalling though, and seems that it will get worse before it gets better.

It's not possible to get any worse, we are losing every game we play. It can only get better or stay the same.

We beat a team that are 2nd favourites for relegation. 1-0, with the help of a deflection. It doesn't matter if we win every game. Joey Barton is unfit to manage Bristol Rovers. I'm pleased for the long-suffering supporters that went yesterday. Those that are able to separate their feelings about 'the manager' from 'the team'.

I cannot separate the two and I'm not exactly sure how anyone could.
Yes there might sometimes be "grey" areas and it be possible to tolerate something or someone to continue support; Barton is not one of those "grey" areas.

The simple thing to do. If you dont like Barton, dont go. Stay at home and listen to the Radio. You cannot separate the club from the manager, as he got those players in (well most of them.) Also he knows more about football than this board as a collective, Why becase he has played at the highest level. Unlike our previous 2 managers, (Garner did not play pro football and Tisadales great height was a dozen or so games for the s**te). Regarding his private life, it is just that PRIVATE. I think by Christmas we will be playing a lot better, and be near the top, and that's what I am interested in, not whether he has kicked a cat or swore at a referee, because the non woke amongst us have done so too.

I'm no fan of the manager but hqve been going and will continue to be going to watch my team. It's absolutely possible to separate support for the team and the manager.
As for the tendency for lazy people to use the word "woke" as an insult, are you saying that "a state of being "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)" is somehow a bad thing?
Thanks for clearing that up then.

Thanks for clearing that up then. This is where we differ. I can't see how putting money into the club, which pays Barton's salary, isn't supporting him and endorsing not only his appointment but also the decision not to suspend him pending the outcome of his latest assault charge. For me it's a disgusting notion that I could be sharing an emotional experience with him, such as Rovers scoring. Sorry if that makes me Woke.

I did see a picture of him earlier with his hands on two kids shoulders outside the ground last night and I cringed knowing that he has been convicted of causing harm to two individuals using the same hands and stands accused of attacks on two other people using the same hands. It's amazing what some parents will allow their kids to do for the sake of a facebook picture.

Not ne using the term in a derogatory manner, but you knew that. Ah well then, those of us who have STs or pay on the day are somehow apologists for violence. I'll not bother responding again as as often, you've gone off the deep end.

Thanks for clearing that up then. Hmm,haha,see those worms wriggle in the can. I'm lazy - or as I suspect like many of us on here,occasionally post when tired or pre morning coffee - and use the word "woke" in derogatory ways. Obviously once upon a time woke was a good thing and no doubt is for many,but it's been weaponized by some and used to bully people into going along with the bullies sense of morality. I don't like it. A society based on some woke soldiers assumption that anyone who disagrees on their point of view on gay people, LBGP,Islam,brown and black people, Brexit etc most be evil personified. Half of these subjects most of us don't really know so much about anyway and to base our UK sense of morality on it,well it's daft and dangerous. PS.That reminds me,if you donated to the Bristol branch of BLM,apparently £32,000 has gone missing,with one arrest being made.

Bristol Rovers, family club. Millwall say the same, and Rovers is no better or worse that most other clubs. I'ts not a family club, there is no way on earth I would take any child under ten to a game. The swearing alone would bother me, and I mean by you, the supporters. Then of course we can go back in history, as someone has done with JCH and talk about Rovers taking money to lose games. Every club, most people have done something in their past they regret, or arenot proud of. If you are a footballer then its worse because the Hoy Polloy, and the people at the Beeb look at Football as being sport for the Great Unwashed, unless of course you support the Top Six

Well, you have an opportunity to leave a space on the terraces and in the club's till to register your disgust at not only employing Barton but then not suspending him subject to the outcome of his latest court case for assault. But as previously said, we all have different points at which we draw the line, no doubt there would be a point at which you would find yourself compelled not to attend, it's obviously not been reached yet, and that's what the Woke comment was about, I've reached that point and don't want to cause any offence if that behaviour on my part is somehow offending anybody.

That's not fair TWD. When I was banned even my son attended games when people I didn't know never attended during the entire period which I wasn't aware of until they spoke to me at my first game back. I'm a person with strong principles which cause me heartache some times so I fully understand others taking a different course of action which is right for them and their loved ones. I have a feeling that the Dr will cheer as loud as me I me and you when Barton has gone.
