This is my first game in 7 years. The last game saw Mansfield relegate us to the conference. I’m not that good an omen.
I’d like to see if the football on view is as good as it has been on ifollow. Can’t wait to have a real beer in the Welly. 30 hours of commuting surely deserves a win?

Saturday’s game v Exeter is massive. Another form team who beat orient 1-0 two weeks ago.
Joey bag has this team firing.
Harry Anderson was great tonight. The Vegard Heggem of the lower leagues.

I think Joey has consciously tried to play anti football in the second half. It’s largely been effective.
Franck Nouble now on for orient. He’s scored a few against Rovers in the past

Are there examples where other ex footballers/managers, similar in character ‘history’ as Barton, have actually gone on to redeem themselves and become a respected role model?

I'm not too keen on Barton's public image. But you also have to give someone the benefit of doubt if he has both served his time when sentenced and has not been found guilty of any crime for over a decade. I think it's unfair to let your perception of someone dictate that person's real opportunity in life as I just don't know if he is still a bad egg or indeed has actually reformed and is now a role model to the people he manages. If it is a latter then shouldn't we encourage this kind of reformed behaviour?
Indeed, didn't e have a club chaplin who was a bit of a fool in his earlier years before changing his ways?
Staying away from the mem just because the manager may still be a repulsive character seems strange when there are a number of fellow gasheads who will have far greater and far more recent convicted misdemeanors that dear joeybag.

The commentary frequently described Coutts as a quaterback - he was the third defender who lumped either the hell-mary ball hoping for luck or he played simple passes to players either side of him too casually.
He must have had such a poor passing accuracy this game. Second to Harries who either had an off game or was not in the right frame of mind to play to his ability.

We will win this.
New boy Andersen (Elliott) was 100/1 to score 2 goals tonight. I think he’ll move to the Evans role as Thomas will come on for Saunders with 30 mins to go.
No long balls please, lumpy Oldham centre backs will eat that all day long with our smaller forward line.

If we can get Nicho to make decoy runs, and pull defenders away, it should give Loft space. Nicholson with Loft looks a very promising attic

Bristol Rovers have signed striker Ryan Loft from fellow League Two side Scunthorpe United for an undisclosed fee, signing a two-and-a-half year deal with the club. The 24-year-old came through Tottenham Hotspur's academy before joining Leicester in 2018, and spent the 2019-20 season on loan at Carlisle. Loft has scored 25 goals in 113 career appearances for Stevenage, Exeter, Carlisle & Scunthorpe. (Tottenham & Leicester U23's). "I'm buzzing. I can't wait to get started and show the Rovers fans what I can do," he told the Rovers website. Born in Gravesend, 6 ft 3 in Loft attended Northfleet Technology College, where he was a high jump champion. Nathan Ellington was also a schools high jump champion

Rob played 86 games for us scoring 3 goals, 1 v Bury the match winner 3pts & 1 v Scunthorpe for a 2-2 draw 1 point, in that 2002-03 season we were safe by just 3 points from relegation. He may have been dog poo to some fans those goals saved us, just like Paul Tait in the same season scoring winning goals v Swansea, Bury & Orient & draws v Exeter & Kidderminster. We have had many duffers through the years but some of the most important goals were scored by much maligned players. Nah. A great argument for the defence to be fair, perhaps worthy of Simon Csoka. Rob Quinn was still dog poo though. Rob Quinn looked worse than average. I’d chuck in Chris Bardsley, Micky Evans and Michele Di Piedi

It felt a frustrating defeat to me,perhaps in part I had 'one of those days' yesterday. We should'nt allow a football match result control our mood so much,ay.😏 DC had a warm welcome and his Vale team deserved their 1 2 scoreline.'The 'all blacks' (nice kit) were more disciplined than Rovers.The game was effectively changed on Finleys red card.Whatever he did he should'nt of.I think 11 v 11 we would of remained in the game,intfact in the 2nd half with 10 and even 9 men we were never finished off by Vale. Good to see Collins playing so well now and he and Sam Nicholson are a decent duo. Illdiscipline cost us last night and when considering our injuries and latest suspensions we've not exactly helped ourselves for the Rochdale game Saturday. Our bookings and sending offs tally has to improve. I should have bet my house on Barton’s Rovers being bottom of the disciplinary table and struggling to achieve a promotion place.

We’d probably end up appointing Sidney Cook

Hughton live on bbc, 'keen to get back in, but it has to be the right one' So not likely to be us, even if he didn't mind dropping down Paul Cook now also available

At least there will be a shared culture throughout the club now Joey and his team have removed all from previous regimes.
I suspect he’d want to remove the fans as well.
Widdrington wasn’t a bad man so I hope he finds success at his next post.

Mr White said he did not hear what Mr Stendel said in that moment.
I heard the word 'German' coming from Mr Barton. I heard the word ***t.

Nice. Perhaps this explains joeybag’s dislike of Max Ehmer

It’s such poor leadership to make a negative statement about a footballer in the media. In this age a recorded statement today is a permanent mark that will always be there in time immemorial. Even if a player has a issue, it’s temporary. A ‘man’ager with skill knows how to handle that situation. Joey bag is just so far from that person. Here’s how a leader would manage the situation www.norfolklive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/chelsea-terry-smith-aston-villa-6243860

Part of the disassociation with Rovers stems from not really knowing what's going on. I see many of us dislike what we perceive to be going on but we don't really know.
It's perhaps challenging to support an entity or organisation that doesn't share a comfortable amount of information with its followers. Some people find this uncomfortable whilst others ignore this and choose to follow the team as a match day supporter. That's far more easier than being a questioning fan.
I don't know what Wael's masterplan is and it doesn't make sense. But then what I don't know can/can't hurt me depending on what 'our rovers' I choose to accept. My Rovers is following the club and having enough interest invested to follow the conversations on the forums but I no longer care enough so that I get upset. It's all a soap opera and I'm happy being an extra even less significant that Big Ron or Tracy the Barmaid.
