Some of you flouncers need to get over yourselves. We've been employing nice guys and journeymen lower league managers for years and achieved nothing. We're taking a gamble with Barton but so do we with every appointment and right now I'd rather have a successful bad guy than another nice guy failure. It's nearly always rubbish being a Rovers fan but to use this as the excuse to walk away seems a bit pointless, or maybe I'm just not woke enough to care about his past, the future seems much more important tbh. All I've seen are people saying they are done with supporting until this lout is gone, or until he and Wael are gone, nobody that I'm aware of has said they are done with Rovers completely. Yes and all I'm saying is to use a brand new managerial appointment as the excuse to walk seems silly, what happens if he's successful? He could be here for years! Plenty stranger things have happened in football so I'd rather make my judgement when I've seen what he's done at Rovers. |

AMPG I understand the most difficult issue people have is getting WAQ to the table to discuss matters. That is either because: a) he has a long term plan including a stadium and is not interest in selling full stop b) he believes in and trusts the people around him and they are advising him against speaking to the individuals approaching c) those who have approached have done so in an ad hoc or not professional manner d) the proposals do not offer him a get out e) the proposals do not offer sufficient to get him to the table f) he is burying his head in the sand to issues and doesn't believe he needs help/advice/to sell At this stage and hearing what has been said previously I believe it most likely to be b) d) or f). I would love to think it is a) and plans are advanced for a stadium, although as I haven't seen any unicorns today I think that is unlikely. Well yes. I had to attempt that list several times. I kept having to stop due to tears of laughter reading option a). |

I don't think anyone needs an excuse to walk away, and I certainly hope that every last one of us returns as soon as the violent criminal social media celebrity is removed from office. On the former point, here are our last five managers: 5. DC, promoted from within to his first league manager's job. 4. GC, promoted from within to his first league manager's job. 3. BG, recruited externally as a fantasy project, but a failure. 2. PT2, recruited externally but not given time, so unassessed. 1. JB, recruited externally but unfit to manage Rovers. We were better off recruiting assistants and coaches, grooming them into eventual first-team managers, who know the players, the supporters, and the point of being at Bristol Rovers. Better off in what way? A big chunk of that time was non league and 4th division! |

You would need to say how many years you are talking about here. 2 wouldn't make a huge difference, but if he could change his ways and not repeat the mistakes of the past then the harm done to the brand of the club I support would, of course, in time, be diminished. Listening to him talking about incidents such as him attacking multiple Man City players in that title deciding game, he not only justified it, but also glorified it by saying something along the lines of 'Aguero was in the ref's ear saying what I'd done, that makes him a snitch, that's what we call them where I come from, a snitch, so he was getting some too'. Do you honestly want that as a public face of our club? |

Do you honestly want that as a public face of our club? Honestly he'd be nowhere near the top of my list but I'm willing to give him a go. He was an absolute cock when he played but he really could play and if we see his talented, intelligent side and he stays out of trouble there's no reason why he couldn't bring some success |

Why should the most public, high profile appointment associated with our club have a caveat attached stating that it may work, if the incumbent can curb his violent tendencies? Don't think we are going to agree on this. Hope you enjoy the games that you get to see. Hope Joey gets his life back on track. I have no ill will towards the bloke whatsoever, I wish him every bit of good health and happiness possible in his personal life. I just don't want him anywhere near my football club. |

I do take your point about being in lower divisons, but it got us back into our 'home' division, and under both DC and GC showed signs of threatening promotion. DC and GC were so much more inspiring than Twitter star and violent thug Joey Barton. |

Like I said, strange things happen in football, Barton could become a legend at Rovers we just don't know what the future might hold. Personally I'd have stuck with PT and LL years ago! |

I know, because I could never feel inspired or excited about the success of an unrepentant thug. I really don't care about Bristol Rovers success under Barton, so I choose to withdraw until he is removed, assuming the club's debts to Al Qadi have not been recalled before this happens. I think you're right about PT1 and LL, too. |

He might but his track record is a stint at a very well backed Fleetwood where he won nothing and found the same trouble that had followed him everywhere. If he’s successful then fine but there’s nothing to back up that expectation yet |

I am surprised not more people object to him being such a disgusting man, but I suspect he's also not as good a football manager as they hope, too.
Not that I care. If I thought he had what it took to drag us to the middle of the second division with goals aplenty every game, I would still turn my back due to his apparent total lack of remorse for violent crime. But can he even keep us up?
I've yet to hear any compelling argument in favour of him, actually.

If you see a problem trymer - please REPORT it. Thanks. It can then be dealt with. I didn't call him a fool trymer. I called him a pr**k. Feb 22, 2021 9:34:17 GMT eppinggas said: www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56152743It would appear Wael is so senstive to criticism. He hasn't seen a f uc*ing thing yet. "If" true - that is me DONE with Bristol Rovers until we get rid of the thug and his backroom team and Wael f*cks off back to Jordan.
I couldn't help but notice that two of my recent posts were edited.
I, like you, will in future use the principles you adopt above in one of your posts, by using asterisks to tone down any offensive language.
Sorry to offend anyone on this forum with my outburst of offensive language. “I didn't call him a fool trymer. I called him a pr**k.” absolutely. Ironically we seem to be on the same side as regards The Creature Now In Charge. But noone can say an off word about Grandpa Corbyn and not get a broadside. fine by me. Time for Barton fan girls and Corbyn fan boys to grow up. They are no better than each other. |

But can he even keep us up? I've yet to hear any compelling argument in favour of him, actually. Not seen a single person claim that he's not acted disgustingly. See previous comments. Last set of figures I can find for Fleetwood show a loss of £5,950,000. that 'bought' them 5th position last season. Where Lightning Cheats gave them a pasting. Odd thing is, it may well have been us beating Sunderland that allowed the play offs to fall that way for Wycombe. Is anything ever going to happen involving us and them where they don't come out of it smelling of roses? |

I see you've posted something about it there, maybe I'll take a look, but we covered that in some detail around the last election. |

Sorry to offend anyone on this forum with my outburst of offensive language. Darlo - It is bad language aimed at other users on the platform which I have an issue with. If you have a problem with me editing your language - report it. I'd be happy to sit back and let the other mods judge. Naughty words with asterisks, I'd agee. Not my proudest moment.

Your "user name" is the one you originally sign up with. You cannot change your "user name" but you can change your "Displayed" name. i.e the name that appears next to your postings. For example, I could change mine from JeffNZ to "Unbelievable Jeff"  I can confirm this is what " darloGas" has done and will leave it to him/her to explain why they have done that. Darlogas as a "user name" no longer exists on this forum. |

Darlogas as a "user name" no longer exists on this forum. I was conscious of Darlo deleting himself and disappearing before Christmas, because I was sorry to see him go. His music and reply’s in the music section I very much enjoyed. Is there meaning in the music we listen to? ...for sure - but how many words will we need to explain all what the meaning is? If all music is expression, and we trust the emotion, I like to think the trust can unify us. We're certainly at our strongest when we build each other up. Which is why the music section is my favourite part of this whole blog. let’s draw a line under tonight. I’d like Darlo to stick around now. |
