I imagine WAQ has known about this for quite some time. No sacking. Just support of Joey preparing for the season. You'll soon run out of straws to clutch at, Bas

I must say, to see how a number of former B*****-supporting Gasheads have now drawn a line and ceased supporting B*****, apparently because this violence is against a woman, or because it is domestic or family violence, is very much to their credit. Let none of us say 'I told you so' or act otherwise smugly about this. We should give credit, and we all have the right to change our minds as evidence and fresh allegations emerge.
I am proud that many Gasheads, the majority of whom are men, consider violence against women, or domestic or family violence, much less forgiveable than the offences B***** has been charged with before.
We're better than Joey B*****.

I was being silly about the fact that BRFC wrote headlines about supporting the Her Game Too campaign while probably knowing their figurehead celebrity manager was out on bail charged with 'beating' his wife. I wonder whether Gorringe is complicit. If this is news to him, then he must be fuming. All reputational work out the window. This is all very sad. EDIT: obviously sadder for Mrs B***** and their children. Oh I see Shoveler.Well yes,it does'nt seem to support any off field activities/policies Rovers are apparently trying to do. In the scenario we delve into the detail of inclusivity,domestic family fights then that's a massive subject. I suspect WAQ has put it down to a 'domestic' and has decided to back JB. That's how it looks to me,that's if WAQ has known about this for a month or so. "domestic" that is no excuse Bas.... that was the excuse the police and the Judicial System used in the 70's and beyond to avoid paperwork, we are now in the 21st century, there should be NO HIDING PLACE for this type of behaviour

Oh dear. This is not good for Joey B***** or Bristol Rovers. If after Monday’s courts case things have gone against B*****, then he had to be sacked. Doesn’t this man ever learn?

Maybe, but there was already overwhelming evidence, which was ignored in the name of supporting a football club.

Interesting to know what lieutenant colonel Chris Gibson (‘leadership expert’) thinks of all of this.

Has the owner been aware of this incident for the past 8 weeks or has he been caught off guard like the rest of us by the story breaking late last evening. There is a consistency in the charges brought against B*****, attributable violence. If B***** hadn't informed the club of this matter then the remedy is quite simple, he walks the plank. If he had informed the club, then the owner has let the entire fan base down by not effecting some proper crisis management and has allowed the club's name to be dragged through the mud again world wide. The club surely has to issue a statement asap with its view on what's happened and whether is stands behind B***** or not. That is if they can find anyone at the club to put their name to such a statement.

I agree with most of what you're saying, and personally never wanted JB here in the first place, but if he had told the club what were they supposed to do? If they'd suspended him straight away that would only have brought about rumour, gossip, hearsay, conjecture and confusion, when they had no knowledge of whether a charge would be brought against him, which could all affect the case. Surely they had to wait for the charge? But now it's out in the open, and he appears in court tomorrow, then yes, the club has to issue a statement now.

Oddly though, there are 10 other people all listed as being in court 8 at 10.00 tomorrow. All male apart from 1 (possibly 2 as 'Jesse' could be either). That’s standard procedure and it’s a lottery to who gets called first. You can be there all day then be told it’s postponed

I don't know what you mean. WAQ has quite likely known for quite sometime.He has'nt sacked JB. I wonder if this is significant. Maybe in as much as he's brought in a new set of players that don't look that bad on paper. Can't blame Wael for playing for time, but now he's looking at two court cases ...

The club surely has to issue a statement asap with its view on what's happened and whether is stands behind B***** or not. That is if they can find anyone at the club to put their name to such a statement. That’s a good point bondi. Trouble is at the moment we simply don’t know. If he did tell the owner then the owner has had time to prepare his position for the time when it became public. In that case we should hear tomorrow afternoon perhaps. If he didn’t know that in a way makes it more straightforward I would have thought. But as ever we don’t know the contract arrangements when they were agreed in February. I’d hope WAQ put some safeguards in place but perhaps not. The only certainty is that this will cause huge reputational damage to the club, if it’s true. But it’s also recoverable if the club act firmly. I don’t really care about what other clubs think about us but I do care about what we think about us and the faith we have. I also care about the damage something like this could do to the wonderful work the Community Trust do. UTG!

Could WAQ have half an eye on Sharia Law. Another possibility eg. In the scenario Mrs B***** stands by her man tomorrow,this may encourage the Judge to close the case. Maybe? We have to wait and see.

Del Wiltshire on fb.. So fin wot, some **** “as in women” need it, if she wasn’t such a mouthy **** she would b alright, and if anyone got a problem wiv my comment inbox me Beyond belief. Sadly, there are more like this but in hushed tones. B***** appeals to the darker & now unacceptable side of football. Someone should have reported that misogynistic. There is no place , anywhere, for men like this and he’s certainly no man, posting that vile crap

It's called intimate partner violence these days and covers both sexes.
