I get that, but you're a better poster than that. Unfortunately his personal life will follow him into the game, not by design but just because that's the way it goes I'm afraid. However, you can't put results down to what's going on with him outside the 90 mins. I just hope he can turn this around, for all our sakes. Agreed Saturday was so cringeworthy it was sickening. Fans singing "Joey Barton's Blue & White Army" & "Joey Joey give us a wave" to me that sort of reaction to him condones what he has allegedly done and say's a lot about those singing it - shame on them Unfortunately this is not going to go away until he is either sent to prison or gets the boot because his on field record is poor (currently 11 points from 60) (no need to put forward "it was not his team" argument, I get it) Come November/December when he is gone we will all calm down and get on with supporting our club again in a proper fashion Are you being flippant with me young Man?

Results will pick up because, let's face it, despite admittedly being a bit light up top, we do have a very competitive squad for League 2. How much of our upturn in form will be down to Joey, I'm not sure. I think the bloke peeling the spuds at the Jolly Fryer could probably get a tune out of this lot to be fair.

Whether you're a Barton fan or not I think we need to forget the 'should he stay or should he go' debate for the next few weeks. Having been given the opportunity to start the season in charge it's clear he'll be our manager for the next 10-12 games at least, regardless of results. Lets just concentrate on the individual games for now and revisit the Barton debate in early October when we'll have a far better indication as to where this team are heading. I don't think we learned much from Saturdays game. We had half our first team out and still nearly got a point against a team expected to do well but the performance, going forward at least, was a bit disappointing. Serious question for those that are a fan of Joey Basham's What are you a fan of exactly? what is it that you like about the wife beating*, headbutting* scumbag? (*allegedly) Who's actually a "fan" of Barton, most of us are just Rovers fans, as such we have no choice but to support the manager the club's owner decides to employ, whether that's McGhee, Buckle or Barton. What are you hoping to gain by constantly mentioning he's a "wife beater" etc it's not like we're not all aware of what's gone off the field.

It is hard being a Gashead, always had been TBH. But now we do need a little solidarity. IF JB is found guilty then bye bye but at the moment I have no doubt that he is trying to get us fans a team to be proud of.

Seanclevedongas.... Rather than posting like a coward behind your keyboard why dont you go to the training ground and say it to his face .... ? No ? I thought not. Hahaha what a ridiculous post. Fwiw I wouldn't seek anybody out to tell them what I think of them as there are so many morons on the planet I'd waste the entirety of my time chasing morons and I have better things to do. However, if an opportunity arose to tell JB that I think his managerial record with us is pathetic, the way he handled a relegation battle and the players last season was awful, his constant deflection and inability to accept any responsibility is gutless and his inability to keep negative stories from dragging Bristol Rovers through the gutter with him p!sses me off and that if the most recent allegations against him are true I hope he gets jail time I would have absolutely no hesitation. With that scenario unlikely in the real world I'll share my opinion on an Internet forum designed to share opinions.

How many times do you need to share it with us and what's it got to do with Saturday's match? First off I was replying to someone else who asked a question. Secondly, there is no set amount of times I have set myself on sharing my opinions on an Internet forum. Thirdly, the defeat on Saturday further adds to his already diabolical managerial performance so has everything to do with it. Is that OK with you? Didn't realise I needed yours or anyone else's approval before posting on here.

Hopefully it doesn't just consist of telling people they're not real fans and (now we're allowed back to matches, returning to your old classic of) asking "Do you even go to the games"?
