Wrong when you see where we finished innit The Halcyons were nesting during the Garner days compared to how flat and embarrassing the Joe show has been. I just think BG would have kept us up but his remit was promotion it seems, to use his record from last season was unfair, will JB be treated the same, i hope not

If still here.

I registered with the Burton Albion forum and wrote about how much of a miracle JFH performed for them and give them an insight into our relegation.
Got some nice comments about the Gas, not least that we're a proper football club.
They also said that after the 1-0 win they thought we would stay up and have been surprised by our freefall.

23 hours.
No need for the use of an exclamation mark.
Must surely be a club record.

If still here. There is a difference to being a Joey B***** fan boy and supporting our club through thick and thin, and I've seen a lot of thin in 60 years... Some on here seem to have forgot that.

I am hugely concerned about the fundamental lack of goals, especially during the JB era. We do seem to have gone backwards under JB. The reasoning and theories behind this are well documented.
The first 10 games of next season are going to be critical and only then will we know whether JB is able to turn this club around. Hopefully JB can deliver...

I bow to your longer period of suffering, Sir. We've all had plenty of thin. But at what point do you say 'enough is enough'? What person appointed manager would make you think about NOT actively support Bristol Rovers any more? It'll be a fun game. I'll start. Adam Johnson.

I'm not going down this Childish game... Would much rather have a proper football debate. What you do know is I'm willing to give JB my support, both from a football standpoint and in the hope he has learned from his previous misdemeanours. Time will tell who has made the right judgement.

Apologies. I don't think it's childish. At some point you have to draw a line. I was curious where your line was drawn.

I'm not sure you HAVE TO draw a line, I can't think of anyone whatsoever who- if they became Rovers manager- would stop me going. There are plenty of people in football I'm not fond of, but I cannot think of one who would make me think 'I'm done'.

The appointment of Mr B***** crossed a line with me and led to me removing my active support. But if you're OK with Mr B*****, that's your decision. Fine by me. But to be a clear - you're saying that you would still actively support Bristol Rovers if (say) Adam Johnson or Barry Bennell were installed as manager. Seriously?

Not speaking on behalf of Rex but football supporters are fickle. When B***** was appointed I scanned back through the posts of Gasheads after B***** allegedly attacked the Barnsley manager ands to see their change in tone now that he's "Our Joey" is sickening. Still, each to their own and roll on the 7th of June and the few weeks following. If he's innocent then nothing changes IMO his previous was enough for me and I back your stance Epping.

Barry Bennell is 66 years old and serving a 34 year sentence, I have no idea what Adam Johnson is up to, but I think his chances of landing a job in football are so negligible that they could be considered as zero. So to mention either name is just nonsensical. I'm sure there are plenty of former footballers convicted of crime (I can even think of one of own legendary players) but I'm generally of the opinion that once you have committed a crime and served your time, then you should return to society. If we don't have that sort of system, we may as well just hang everyone. Anyway, I am started to go off track a bit, but I cannot honestly think of anyone who could credibly get the Rovers job, that would lead me to withdraw my support.

You present a totally contradictory argument. In March 2016, Johnson was found guilty of sexual activity with a child and sentenced to six years in prison. He was released in 2019 after serving half his sentence. He has served his time. He has returned to society. Why are his chances of landing a job in football negligible? Answer that question.

My own view is that crimes of this nature are so abhorrent that these people should have to not be in any job where youngsters are and should me monitored, for life. No Angel myself but have never been accused of this kind of thing, if I had been then no one would need think of me as I’d get away and not even be in tbe country
