My first ever start to a match day thread and hopefully not jinxed it. They have not had the best of starts with no win in 3 but have yet to concede. Not a happy hunting ground for us regardless if we are playing well as stats suggest. 22 defeats 14 draws and 10 wins in all competitions. We have only won once in our last 10 visits (back in 2012). I couldn’t get a gas ticket so have bought an Exeter one next to the Gas fans. Going for a 2-1 win based on our first half showing last week v Oldham but would settle for draw. COYB This aged well Lymps! Sorry, you’re fired 😂. Well, what can be said that hasn’t already been discussed/ argued on here in the last 24h? Nothing. So I won’t bother. Thanks to the few guys and girls we were stood near to yesterday, who despite the result kept the humour going in the second half. That to me is what supporting a club is all about. My glass half full was severely tested yesterday, and it’s taken a long period of reflection to even getting near to the point of logging in to Gasbag today. However, what’s it all the pro’s seem to like to say - we go again. It doesn’t matter if we are anti or pro Barton, he won’t read it anyway and no-one wins. It’s a public football forum for all areas of society to interact. We certainly won’t be changing people’s minds on either side via 200 words of self opinion. It’s 2021 and people are generally spiky. Even more so given our last 2 years. Don’t take it personally - I don’t. I’m looking forward to seeing what changes for our next fixture. And there needs to be changes! We’ll know soon enough if the minerals are in the building. I saw enough in the second half to keep calm, but agree with the point that the performance and bluntly the result next game is now far too important than it should have been.

*ing hell! This thread is an absolute state!

Sweet sweet irony.
Utter *ing disgrace from GHB et al.

Utter *ing disgrace from GHB et al. If you care to read the posts carefully you will see I stated I received a text from someone who was a poster on here and refrained from doing so because of the hassle Roverdrive was causing him. He called him a w**ker and I have to agree. Feel free to continually defend your man, it's quite obvious that more than five or six on here are fed up with his posts and being called bully's by your mate. No wonder he reaps what he sews.

Oh and "my man" ... I've never met Roverdrive, know nothing about him outside of posting on here. I don't need to defend anyone. All I'm doing is calling out your crap for what it is. Don't respond please I'm not interested in you trying your bullshit behaviour on me.

Thank you. If that helps you to curb your bizarre behaviour heretofore displayed. For what it's worth I generally enjoy your football related input but you seem to have become a bit unnecessarily worked up about a single forum user.

Don't respond please I'm not interested in you trying your bullshit behaviour on me. I don’t know RD either, I also don’t know BidefordGas or for that matter anyone on here let alone their mobile numbers for texts. There is very much a divide among the fanbase. Split between those who never wanted JB in the first place and what him sacked immediately. On the other side you’ve got fans who may or may not have been for the JB appointment but the owner has backed him and these fans see little benefit in sacking JB at this stage. This second category are alternatively know as the JB fan club, those blinded by his celebrity, fanboys, etc….). Whilst most posters have been respectful towards those on the other side of the fence RD has chosen to be provocative and offensive. Perhaps people shouldn’t respond in the raw atmosphere immediately after a heavy defeat but it’s not always that easy. RD tries to make out the negative reaction towards him is simply because he has a different opinion, this is clearly bullshit as nobody else has been ‘singled out’ for having a different view. He’s attracting attention because of his deliberate goading nothing else. GGMI was chucked out for similar winding up and provocative posting but the mods here (presumably because of friendships) have buried their heads in the sand. For this reason it’s probably better to accept this is how the forum works and end this line of debate.

You seem to be happy to paint the anti-Barton section broadly, but go out of your way to accommodate the pro-Barton section. What about all the people who were happy he was appointed, thought he'd keep us up, sat through the most half-hearted relegation fight in our (and maybe anyone's) history, listened to his awful interviews and self-serving excuses, and now don't have much faith he will get us promoted this year like he promises. I would suggest that is a very large section of fans despite its specificity, and doesn't really fit either of your camps.

I would add that most if not all of the moderating team want Barton out and allow almost any levels of disgusting posts and rants against the manager which in another context would not be tolerated. For example, Repugnant human being Clown, utter clown Gobby, incompetent lunatic Deeply flawed character with an inferiority complex Deluded narcissist Fraud Clueless Clown of a manager All the above from one poster in just 24 hours makes OTIB look positively pleasant by comparison, even when they were on Lee Johnson's back. I'd also just ask that we conduct our criticisms and/or support in a decent manner.

GGMI was chucked out for similar winding up and provocative posting but the mods here (presumably because of friendships) have buried their heads in the sand. For this reason it’s probably better to accept this is how the forum works and end this line of debate. I don't really follow what your point is. There's a divide in the fan base because of the manager- so what's new? That's always been true. People werw arguing about Trollope on the old Official Forum, some people gave him the nickname "mogodon" which I didn't really understand and found distasteful. So why is Roverdrive a bully for having an opinion on the manager now? Why is it suddenly taboo? As for the examples GHB has given- what nonsense - Tbone was renowned for calling DC "the clueless one" so why is someone posting similar things about the current manager worthy of being hammered as a bully and calling to be banned? As a side note - I happen to think this ongoing discussion of one poster on public threads is itself a form of bullying. I'd ask that you respond to this via PM if you're minded to do so.

Which of those descriptions is not true, as evidenced by his personal behaviour and professional management career with us? Its not as if I picked those adjectives out of thin air is it. You might disagree, you might produce evidence to the contrary, (which would be good for debate), but you have not so far. But to get chirpy over my choice of adjective and then to feign "faux" outrage is just silly. This, I contend, is what you are doing. "The 21st century and its social media have seen an increased display of false or manufactured outrage, with power and prestige being hypocritically sought by professing concern for others, in a highly selective and temporary manner." Well yes indeed sir.

I agree but would point out that those ramblings are not necessarily taken from roverdrives postings. The person concerned knows full well who they are as do the mods. My good friend GHB is quite right in thinking these are libelous comments, as you are. It's a sad reflection of what this forum has become when the moderators turn a blind eye to things like this and in many cases posts likes against posts with these sort of comments.

I fully accept I don't get to decide who posts what, sadly it would appear the mods have let things get out of hand and since the petty removal of GGMI from here for next to nothing are prepared to let anything go by far in excess of anything GGMI ever did.
