Banned for what? Defending myself from being picked on by the usual pro Barton suspects for daring to have a bad word to say about their messiah? Playground bullies. It's pathetic. Ignore them mate. Winds me up no end that people think it’s acceptable to single a fellow supporter out for views that are more than reasonable. If you don’t want to encounter views that run parallel to your own, don’t use a forum it’s very simple. Wow - that’s irony, right there . . . I think you’ll find RD is the one who can’t deal with opinions that differ from his/hers. He/she has been properly abusive today, mainly to people who have an opposing or different point of view.

Thanks Axe. Unfortunately the forum bully boys - Bideford, Gashead Blues and Eric etc are out to attack those who have enough of JB once again. Their bullying tactics are back. But it won't work. They aren't attacking anybody, they are just putting across their own views. But . . . But . . . But people aren’t supposed to have different views . . .

Of course people have different views 😂 it's a football forum ffs - hence why I will happily speak mine. The big difference between me and others is I'm not calling them a w*nker every other post, or making a beeline for them to single them out.

Couldn't bring myself to even open the match day thread until now. Not sure whether Exeter were brilliant first half or we were awful. A bit of both I think but probably more of the latter. I can't remember a Rovers team conceding 4 goals and 4 or 5 other very presentable chances in the first half. We could have been 8 or 9 down. Improved second half but Exeter had taken their foot off the gas by then. Belshaw did well, no real chance with the goals. Beautiful goal by Finley, who I think will be a very good player for us. Nicholson had a couple of good runs and is slowly getting back up to speed and Hanlan made a big difference when he came on. His power and pace was causing Exeter's defence problems for the first time in the match and he helped us play more of the game in their half the pitch. That's about it for positives. We might have taken a step forward on Tuesday but it's definitely two steps back today. I just hope we can persuade Hanlan to stay because I'd like to see him and Nicholson in the starting 11 next week. As for JB, well I've said previously he should get at least 10 league games, but many more performances like today and I'll be changing my mind. Accrington Stanley back in February put 4 past us in the first 30 mins or so, from the “highlights” some of the defending did seem like school boy standard !! Hoping thing can only get better !!!

Only reason I’ve even given you the time of day mate is because you were banging on earlier about me being “in love” with Barton etc etc etc. I don’t give a monkeys whether you like the bloke or not, other than the fact that your obvious hatred for him is blinding you to everything else. I don’t care about Barton either way, apart from his being our current manager, so obviously I want him to succeed cos that means we will succeed. But if he doesn’t turn it around I will happily wave goodbye to him without a second thought. But here’s a tip for you: you won’t make a very good grown-up if you can’t deal with people having opinions or views that aren’t the same as yours. And I’ve been using the he/she thing cos I suspect you are the sort of person that speaks and thinks like that and gets sand in their mangina if they’re “misgendered”

But if something is clearly not working why keep backing it? It seems to me the players just gave up today, which must be worrying for Wael given they were now mostly JB's players. They were poor v Mansfield, Stevenage and Cheltenham, good for 45 mins v Oldham then shocking today, it's hardly an improvement on the end of last season. Didn't see the game so can't comment, but this is strange/worrying. I said after Tuesday that it was much more of a Barton type performance that I had expected. It's really odd to be so poor. What happened exactly? Was it just the defence shipping goals? No effort? Just everything came together for a bad game? I watched the game and the first 25 minutes were the worst 25 minutes I have seen from any rovers team. We did improve second half when we changed personnel and our wing backs played more like wingbacks than wingers. I put it down to everything just came together in the day for a bad game, but that may be more in hope than reality. I have said previously I’m not expecting miracles in the early part of the season for many reasons that have been spoken about, but I sure don’t expect performances like that first half and many more of them and I think it will inevitably be time to part with JB regardless of how much time he has had to bed in a new team

Clearly, although I generally communicate in the English language, perhaps thats my issue here. I refer to the good officer's critique of your post which, written in coherent English, was quite funny.

This is what the appointment of JB has done. Even before a ball was kicked under him as manager, regardless of results, it completely divided the fanbase from day one. Just for this simple fact, before you even mention his results, which are terrible, he should go. It's been a disastrous appointment, as has been the norm over the last 2 years, but he's been the worst of the bunch. Time to cut our ties I feel, for the sake of all of us. As a poster who is still firmly behind Barton for now, I can't help but agree that for the sake of the club/fanbase it might be best we move on. However, I am willing to give it a bit more time to turn it around. A forum is one thing, the stadium is another and the forum doesn't always reflect the entire fanbases' views. Still think we should give him 10 games. Maybe you're right Gassy. I just don't think having him as manager is worth the hassle. When we're losing every week which has been commonplace for us over the last 2 years it gets pretty toxic as it is. But with Barton it just seems to have gone that little bit further, since the 1st day he was appointed, it has divided the fanbase more than I can remember. It just doesn't seem worth it, for the sake that hopefully he might eventually get it right. That's just my take it on anyway.

He inherited an absolute mess from Kevin Bond when he took the Southend job. The on field mess was then compounded by a financial mess off the field. Significantly the club slithered out of the league with a back to back relegation the next season, Campbell having departed at the end of 2019-20. I'd like to see Campbell get an opportunity at a club where the financial mat wasn't pulled from underneath his feet. You conveniently fail to say Bond took over at Southend on the 2nd April 2019. and saved them from relegation finishing in 19th place. At the start of the next season they lost six games on the trot and he walked out on the 6th September 2019. Campbell had 40 games that season, plenty of time to turn any mess Bond had caused in his short time with them. Sol Campbell managed Southend for 23 league games.

This isn't a place for facts!

The opening line of the BBC report pretty much sums it up:
"Exeter hammered a dire Bristol Rovers 4-1"

I am fully capable of having a debate, unfortunately people like yourself resort to being abusive, instead of having a structured debate - as the latter part of your post proves. The real issue here is that I've dared call for Joey's head, following us shipping 4 goals in 25 minutes. Numerous other posters have done the same, but shock horror, the usual suspects have singled me out and given me endless abuse. The problem is, those who are pro Barton don't see posting something negative about Barton as a response - they just see it as an attack. Therefore it's impossible to have a reasoned debate with them because they take it so personally.
