Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what is a highly decorated long standing career soldier with the rank of Lt Colonel MBE (retired) doing associating firstly with a convicted criminal with a catalogue of already established violence in his locker, let alone two trials coming up in November and December for aggravated assault and domestic violence and a brother serving a life sentence for murdering a man by leaving an axe in his head. Then being recommended by this new colleague to be invited to join the board to bring some stability to the running of the club and build a relationship with the diverse supporters groups. Then only to find the first thing he does on meeting with members of various supporter groups is to demand £50,000 from the Supporters Club from some spurious 4 year old claim he believes the club had, requisition the 50/50 club and demand the resignation of the Chairman of the Supporters Club. So that's the opportunity that Col Gibson has taken to get involved with the SC. Puppet on a string springs to mind and what a shambles the club is in if people like Gibson and Gorringe are at the helm. It does seem a bit of an odd marriage. It has a slight whiff on Under Siege about all of it. Let’s see what colonel mustard does next?

Nile Ranger is available, he’s just the sort of character that will fit in. Andy Carroll is still available!!

Pittman looks stout. Like when an ex-player has a run in a testimonial after a few years of retirement.

Joeys half time team talk must have been shocking. Awful second half. A few mins left for Oldham to spoil the result.

Rovers looking really good, Ye Olde Oak Ham are pretty terrible, proper awful.
Finlay looks great. Rodman is a class above so far.

Christian Montano and Ousmane Tounkara both joined Rovers having previously played at Oldham. Any more prominent Rovers players with an Oldham connection?

So I'm supposed to hate Brian Clough now am I? Don't get your point CPB? I don't think anyone is asking you to 'hate' Bas. Just to consider that some language and attitudes that were "OK" in the 70/80's, are not acceptable now. I am not a snowflake. Brian Clough accepted his attitude towards Fashanu was wrong later in life. Clough was an exceptional manager and leader.

Could be worse, could have been Dario Gradi!! I think the nonce apologist is probably unemployable these days. Barton would probably be unemployable if the court rules against him.

Am I the only one who thinks our players from last season would do some damage against our team this season?
Westbrook will go to Shrewsbury or Cheltenham

One thing that struck me watching the game. We didn’t look to have players playing for the shirt - no one looks to have that special affinity for the club.
Wael and Barton need to develop that culture.
It reminded me of Garner’s first spell in that we had too many needless spells of possession at the back. It was frankly limp and an unconfident showing.

Devoid of ideas.
This isn’t looking pretty.

This is proper ugly.
Undone at another corner. Stevenage have had the better chances all game.
Who will Barton blame next?

We need a striker!! 55 minutes and it’s like we have Steve Parmenter as a lone striker.

He’s enthusiastic. They say culture eats strategy for breakfast. Joey gas almost a squad of players that have bought into his culture. If his team are playing for him then we should have a good season. If joey has to leave prematurely then I hope we gave a continuation of this culture so we don’t have another exodus.
Perhaps we can get 20pence to help out given he’s from scouseland.
What other notable scousers have played for Rovers?

I wonder how many of the Prem clubs are owned essentially offshore. Spending $100m to buy out the contract of a substitute midfielder for England is just obscene money - how many season tickets and pasties would we have to sell before Wael could come up with that cash.

Barton is proving to be a costly gamble. The offloaded players appear good enough judging by their new destination. I bet Darrell Clarke would have got a tune out of at least some of them. Well, we did have another couple of managers last year that couldnt make them ping. Tisdale or Garner couldn't make them ping but Barton definitely made them pong.
