Hardly the end of the world Chelts. They'll just have to control the aggression abit more.Hopefully it shows a determination to compete. I reckon we'll be a few above our current position come the end of the season. It shows how our team is mirroring the manager. Lack of discipline and a disregard for rules. But it’s all the referees fault. There maybe some truth in that,but Joe mentioned post game how players will have to calm down ,calm down or words to that effect. At this moment i'm not bothered by it in the slightest.

For the sake of balance, I read elsewhere that Rovers are the team with the highest fouls against (as in we get awarded more free kicks than anyone else). I suppose that could be spun in various ways though. Edit: www.footstats.co.uk/index.cfm?task=league_foulsFrom these statistics, we're well in in front (?) as the most fouled against, and if I'm reading it right, in the top 5 of least fouls commited. Team of diving cheats.

Like I said, the stats can be interpreted in many ways, but to me it doesn't particularly demonstrate a general lack of discipline. In fact, almost the model of restraint 😊

Like I said, the stats can be interpreted in many ways, but to me it doesn't particularly demonstrate a general lack of discipline. In fact, almost the model of restraint 😊 Being just above Mansfield doesn’t look good but looking at the table Colchester half way up, yet last night they committed half as many extra fouls as we did. And received more yellow cards. Harries second and the consequent red card was stupid and unintelligent esp as he was on a yellow but nothing more. And you're right pop up, we’ve been fouled the most. I tend to ignore most of these micro stats because the stats that matter, goals scored, are more important and that last ten minutes cost us. The stupid last ten minutes was more a sign of lack of intelligence rather than a lack of discipline, though perhaps they’re not too different. Coutts and Whelan two experienced PL players should have seen that out, and it cost us. But, I guess seeing the thread it’s on the stats do support the majority of posters’ feeling against the manager, so not surprising. UTG!

November 26th & December 16th President Wael al-Qadi said the club had "in no way meant to belittle charges of domestic abuse" and "we stand firmly against any form of violence". He said any club employees who are convicted of such offences "will be dismissed immediately" and said he understood concerns that had been raised by supporters.

I don't think he will go through with his promise even if Barton is convicted. I think he will have to given his previous comment. If he didn’t go through with it then the shambles it’s been up to now would look like nothing compared to what it would become. I have been wrong in the past though. 😉 And as I’ve said I’ve a notion that’s he waiting for that to be the excuse to get himself out of a hole. As ever time will tell. UTG!

"If" Barton is found guilty and Wael al-Qadi doesn't sack him - then that's me done with Rovers until Wael relinquishes control. I honestly don't care how long that is. I could not associate myself with a Club that has a liar as on owner and a manager who is a convicted violent criminal. My gross spend on Bristol Rovers FC since February 22nd 2021 - £0.00. Each to their own though, free country and all that.

Do you think Barton now has him by the short and curlies or do you think he's too scared to do anything?

I’m not saying you’re wrong but so far WAQ has been honest, straightforward and honourable in his dealings. We might have questions over his competence given the last two years and perhaps over the original appointment of JB but he has largely been an honourable (fairly old fashioned term I know) though possibly naive owner. I think JB will go if found guilty of the domestic offence. WAQ has said so. If he doesn’t I guess many will be in your positions and will be thinking carefully over what to do next. UTG!

I hope he’s good to his word but I fear that when you think this club has hit the bottom they find further depths to drop to

I don't think he will go through with his promise even if Barton is convicted. I've always thought it possible for Rovers to deal with a short sentence or maybe eg 100 hours of picking up litter. I also think Joe might be one of those people that changes their ways. As it happens I think he'll get off and that will be that. Given time - no pun intended - I think Joe actually can do very well at Rovers.

Imagine calling everyone before you unfit to manage, then not being able to beat them when face them the next season....?

Remember that the court cases could easily either be delayed, or adjourned. The legal system is not known for being speedy.
