Why do certain posters feel it necessary to come on here telling us that they are not attending because of JB? Telling us how righteous they are and those that attend are sinners. If you don’t want to attend that is your choice, but don’t tell me and others what we should and shouldn’t do with our time/money. Some posters sound like the bible bashing bloke who used to stand in Broadmead, telling us that we are all sinners and if we wanted to go to gods kingdom we must repent!!! You can actually stop their posts appearing in the settings I believe.. or just not bother reading it as you have a pretty good idea of what the post contains Thanks lostinspace, I understand I can block them but this is a thread about Rovers v Walsall. If they choose not to attend that is their choice, but don’t let others feel bad when all we want to read about is the game. If it was up to me I’d ban the f***ers and let them go back to shouting at people in Broadmead! Take Care. UTG |

UTG Get what you mean, I choose not to go,but am happy to contribute here without spouting that you should all not go, but the main contribution from some telling you where you should spend ,or not, your money is being a bit overpowering at times, I choose not to read that contribution. |

In the past I've chosen to block people whose posts I've found repetitive and tedious. I was surprised how well it worked - recommend!

as an aside to spoutings!! in regards to "time added on" this phenomenon is either costing teams.or losing teams valuable points, at what time did this "thing" take over the 90 minute game, you could go to say Eastville for a game ,knowing your bus home would be there on Stapleton Road/Muller Road, when the game finished at 4:40 ... now it's almost 5:00 at times [extra 5 at half time taken into consideration] think its sort of ridiculous

I'll wager that you would have a very different attitude if it were a female relation or friend of yours that he stands accused of attacking. Massive double standards. Shameful in fact. I'm amazed that you aren't into religion, as you seem to thrive on passing judgement on people. You'd be a shoe-in for the job at the pearly gates. All rather ironic from the person who's forum name pays tribute to a musician who was known for cavorting with under age girls (to put a polite turn of phrase to it). You have no right to call me shameful. I do have a right to stand in judgement on people who, via attending, show support for Barton, and you'll notice, I've done so. Of course people don't like it, but nobody is able to defend it in a meaningful way. As for the Bowie thing, lots of suggestions but very little evidence of any wrongdoing. The name that's always put forward is Lori Mattix, who claims to have been a serial 'groupy' was a working model certainly didn't look or act 'underage'. She creates serious doubt with her accounts of events. If you like I'll go in to detail about why her version of events become quite difficult to reconcile with known facts. Who knows, maybe Bowie did do some wrong stuff, no doubt given the value of his estate we'll find out in time, and if anything is proven I'll be the first to condemn him. My support for him is based on his artistic ability and speaking out about racism as long ago as the 1970s. Check his band on the Dick Cavett show 1974, the majority weren't white, or his interview with MTV where he calls out their pro-white bias. |

Then you won't mind if people judge your argument to be fatuous. By all means. My position is based on my own reading of the situation and being able to find a lot of criticism but much support on Rovers' forums for Barton when Fleetwood appointed him, just about everybody then was saying pretty much then what I'm saying now, and the national attitude to the bloke across other message boards and chat rooms, those 3rd party attitudes directly affect the reputation of Bristol Rovers Football Club. Obviously that doesn't concern most people here, but I don't like it, not one bit. But the damage is now done isn't it. OK, I think at this point, as I clearly feel very differently to a lot of Rovers' support base it's going to be impossible for me to feel comfortable in the presence of a Rovers' crowd again, so I'm done with the bloke and following the club, this isn't the club that I thought it was. No doubt most will say that I won't be missed, I'll live with that for doing what I believed to be the right thing and speaking out against a thoroughly unpleasant person. |

I feel extremely disengaged and that won't change until Barton is gone. It's not a choice. Fine for those who can ignore his character and history of violence. I can't. Simple as. On a side note, I was told by someone who was there yesterday that the game was dreadful. |

But that’s what happens when an overzealous referee sends off a 19 year old on 40 minutes in those conditions. It was full guts and grinding out a win from that moment on and I, like almost 7500 others, f**king loved it. |

I was referring to him trying to justify that it's fine for him to be judgemental about a person's values and character, when he has never even met them. I stand by that. |

The ref did his absolute best to spoil the game, but our never say die attitude won through...again. UTFG |

For me, I go to see the 11 players in blue and white quarters giving their all for the shirt, playing as a united team, being as one with the fans, and I also enjoy mixing with the people who are there for the same reasons. I certainly don't pay my money to spend 90 minutes focussing on who is sitting in the dugout. |

It's nice that we have fans willing to not attend due to their principles.
I had the misfortune of serving Brian tinnian numerous time when I worked in a bookies, he was such a rude, unpleasant creature I recall thinking if he played for rovers I wouldnt be able to watch us.
Maybe if I met all the rovers players one of them might give me the same feeling.

I suspect the 'penny is dropping' for the anti Barton people.
He has done a great job.
We are improving.
Joe may be with us for quite a while.
They are wrong,made a mistake.
I reckon a few will soon enough soften and begin to attend games once more.Excuses are slowly being formed right now. Retrospective football expertise (the easy way) will be spoken and posted on here.I can think of one or two immediately.
Gone are the days of egotistical local business mens ego holding Rovers back.Useless stupid ego,with it arguement,back stabbing and divide!
The sooner they realise Rovers have successfully moved away from that bollocks,the better.
Obviously the old way had many well meaning people and we had success.Dunfords at Twerton eg.Just to say I hav'nt forgotten.
Now Rovers are different.
Those that have taken the imaginary moral high ground over Joe,imo,need to concentrate on the great job he and WAQ have done.
As I've been saying for sometime now,Rovers are now going to enjoy a great era.
Get back on board and enjoy it.Its still your fc.
In the scenario you can't do this,well you'll look more and more bitter,boring and football clueless.
Come on,stop buggering about.

Thanks lostinspace, I understand I can block them but this is a thread about Rovers v Walsall. If they choose not to attend that is their choice, but don’t let others feel bad when all we want to read about is the game. If it was up to me I’d ban the f***ers and let them go back to shouting at people in Broadmead! Take Care. UTG Get what you mean, I choose not to go,but am happy to contribute here without spouting that you should all not go, but the main contribution from some telling you where you should spend ,or not, your money is being a bit overpowering at times, I choose not to read that contribution. IMO Everyone has the choice to go to the games or not and quite frankly who cares, well the football club cares, why? because you are a bum on a seat or standing. Your money contributes through the ticket, the coffee / tea, the pie or other edible delights, the programme you may buy, the pint(s) of cider / beer or lager before & after. And anything else you might do or give whilst you attend matches, but no one person has the right to preach if it is right or wrong to attend or not. UTG. |

In the scenario you can't do this,well you'll look more and more bitter,boring and football clueless. Come on,stop buggering about. I can't speak for anyone else. But ... you just don't get it. This reply is for Bath Gas also as there's no point me writing it twice. As I said, this is not a choice for me. It is how Barton being at our club has impacted on the way I feel. I can't change that. I can't put aside my feelings just because we're now moving up the table. I was horrified when it was rumoured he would be appointed and absolutely deflated when it happened. I can't get past all that. I am not someone who can decide to ignore what I feel so strongly, just because it might suit me to. And there is no way I could enjoy watching a Rovers team managed by someone who all my instincts tell me is a very unpleasant character and who I would never have believed I would see join us. Good luck to those of you who can close your minds to who and what he is. I can't. That makes me very sad, but there's nothing I can do about it. I am resigned to the fact I can't bring myself to turn the radio on to listen to commentaries, have no inclination to listen to Having a Gas, and only look in here in the hope I will one day read that Barton has gone. |
