So why isn’t Ollie Clarke - also one of our own - given the same adulation. Why doesn’t Ollie Clarke whinge when he isn’t picked. Why does Ollie Clarke always talk about the team and not about himself. Lines has a beef with the manager. The manager has seen that CL had nothing to bring to the table so offloaded him. That simple really. Isn’t he a Bristolian as well? Can't speak for the rest of the fans but personally I think Ollie Clarke deserves the same adulation - an excellent player at this level. I am not aware that he is given less adulation apart from the fact that he hasn't been around so long. Not aware whether Ollie Clarke whinges or not when not picked - but like all players I assume he is not happy when not picked. But I am also not aware that Chris Line whinged when not picked either. Not sure if your last question is about this particular Chris Lines interview- but the interview is about Chris Lines so I would be disappointed if he didn't talk about himself! I'm sure (and hope) that Ollie Clarke would talk about himself if that is the topic of the interview.

That simple really. Isn’t he a Bristolian as well? Why always to set one against another? I stick up for Chris Lines on this thread and he deserves respect for what he did for us, for coming back when he didn’t need to and particularly for his form during our league 2 winning season, when he was majestic and a big factor in our success. Ollie Clarke is a great example for anyone. He regularly played through injury in the last 2 years, endured loads of criticism about his form without ever letting it affect him and produced vital contributions for us. If he can get fully fit I think he can go on to be one hell of a player as he has a bit of everything in his game. Why can’t we just like them both?

if it’s the rumour that I’m thinking of, one of my mates is mates with Geoff 20man and apparently lines told Geoff it was true. Thats just another rumour though lol. Does it involve a certain GK? yes....

This amount of hatred for a bloke you don’t know is beyond weird

Do you not agree we were missing that kind of passing at times last season?

He was overrated then as well Serious question - when was the last game you saw Chris Lines dominate the midfield in any game In all honesty to answer your question I don't remember the last game I saw Lines "dominate the midfield". Does that mean I think he's crap? No. On the basis you have just described though, I will look forward to your vendettas against Ogogo, Upson, O Clarke and Sercombe from now on. I mean, when was the last time you remember each of those "dominating the midfield"? We get it. You don't like Lines. It borders on a bizarre personal vendetta. The fact that any thread that mentions him crops up and you're all over it like a rash just makes you look odd. I actually respect a lot of your views even if I don't agree with all of them, but this whole Lines thing has been done to death and I really think you should just let it go.

I was a lines fan as I prefer players that can create something but he has gone so we have to move on. I am reserving judgement though on our manager as although we stayed up (which I'm obviously happy about) it was horrible to watch. What he says about how he wants to play sounds good but let's see what actually happens come August. Yeah I’ve got a feeling Cogs is going to sign some decent players who need that playmaker in midfield to get it all going but he’s not going to sign one. I hope I’m wrong but it’s just the feeling I’ve got.

Do you not agree we were missing that kind of passing at times last season? We missed his passing ability every time he wasn’t in the side since he came back. Simply because we haven’t had a player of that ability to replace him. With a player like lines in your side in the lower leagues you have to have a ball winner alongside him and he will create , see back to back promotions , great long passes to bodin Taylor Harris montano Brown leadbitter etc getting things going quickly from midfield to attack in a controlled accurate way. Not a big lump of an aimless ball to a target man. I always said If your not playing with wingers or over lapping fullbacks then don’t bother playing him. I think the reason he was left out after Christmas was because we had no decent regular wingers available Cogs knew he was going central and there wasn’t a place for lines. Fair enough, when we had the likes of bodin , montano , Brown leadbitter charging down the lines he was fantastic, because he can find a wide man making a run. That’s all there is to it in my opinion. If his new club stretch the play he’ll be good if they play central like we did back end of last season then they’ve wasted their money.

Don't bother replying because I can't be bothered to debate further with you on this as you've clearly just got an irrational dislike of him so no need to have a rational debate.

Northampton player - thread should be moved There is no ‘i” in team Lines and everything had to be about you you you. Rovers were a better team without you in it in the second half of the season. Rovers being in L1 is more important than you playing 500 games. GC has only gone up in my estimation - now toodle off to Northampton and try and turn up for more than 5mins a[ gamebr]br] Bit harsh ~ only started watching Rovers last season ? Just ignore him.
