Imagine a Barton fanboy calling ME a troublemaker 😂😂😂😂😂 I support Joey Barton because he is the Bristol Rovers manager and I can see improvement and we do have a decent squad and that's because of our manager, as far as I can see most of the Rovers support at the Mem agree with me, the odd idiot on here don't, you are not worth my time arguing with you, you are a JB hater, end of! Get your tongue out his ass ffs 😂

Our league form is literally getting worse, but I guess the facts don't matter to Stockholm Syndromer's and Barton cultists. For the previous 10 games we are 13th in the form table and for the last 5 games we are 14th. In that time we have lost to FGR who played with 10 men for 35 minutes and failed to beat Salford who played with 10 men for more than 70 minutes and 9 men for about 10-15 minutes. Most importantly we are 17th in the actually league table in December which is an embarrassment.

Here we go again, looking for things, well done Yep. It’s everyone else’s fault. What is it with his fanboys? He relegated us , we are lower division 4, yet they still support him?

What's with slinging all these names at each other, and categorising people into groups? Lots of us have different opinions about JB, but surely we should be able to discuss these in an adult manner - at the end of the day we're all Gasheads, who will be here long after JB has gone.

You're right, I apologise. I do categorise Barton in the one of the worst Bristol Rovers managers category though and the facts back it up.

I'm not a fanboy I just support Rovers and if Barton was sacked tonight, I'd support whoever was the manager for tomorrow's game, but as far as Barton is concerned in the last month or so there have been signs of some improvement, with 11 players on the pitch, apart from against runaway leaders FGR, we've looked capable of beating most sides, which is a massive improvement on the post GC era, where most sides looked well capable of beating us, we also seem to be playing more attractive football. Plus unlike the end of DC's, BG's and PT's time at Rovers the players are clearly playing for Barton, or at least for the club. You can't ignore Barton's been hit with countless injury issues, I posted recently a full starting 11 of missing players, and we've been playing the last few games with just Collins as a recognised striker, you could argue that's what comes of signing Pitman and Clarke but only Wael & co knows why those two were signed, rather than younger strikers. I guess the Barton haters are living in some dream world where replacing Barton with any other manager is a guaranteeing results will improve, however, we thought the football would improve under BG and also results would improve under both PT & JB and that's not proven to be the case.

To be honest it's not worth arguing with lots on here. It really puts me off the club I love, not the fact that joey Barton is manager, but the attitude of the some posters on here. I support Bristol Rovers not joey Barton but I'm sick and tired of the absolute dross written about him, nothing balanced but just pure hate for the man. It's funny because I disliked him before he came to us, but the more rubbish that's written about him the more I want him to succeed. For the last season and a half we have easily been the worse team out of the whole 92 clubs, if we were league 2 last season we'd be non league now. I'm just grateful we are not rock bottom at this moment in time and are grateful that we as a club are starting to show promise on the the pitch. Joey Barton doesn't divide the fans, it's only us that divide ourselves!

But on a lighter side, there was also this: It also tickled me the part that said he thought he would have won 50 caps for England had it not been for his bad boy rep.. and even now he thinks he should be managing at a much higher level (eg. Man City) Ah yes, turns out the real answer to the Gerrard/Lampard/Scholes debate of the mid-2000s was Barton all along

If you worried about being embarrassed why bother supporting Rovers when we've spent most of our recent years bouncing around L1/L2/non league football, it's not like we're Sunderland or Ispwich and have suddenly found ourselves struggling in the lower leagues after years of playing in the top two divisions.

It’s embarrassing for Barton with one of the bigger budgets in the division.

I dont want to spoil the opinions here, I am guessing the point of the original post was about Joey's allegedly lack of man management, empathy what ever you want to call it. But from what I got from the thread was all about Mental Health.
Everyone has there opinion, I cant bring myself to read all the posts and I may have missed some valid points on this thread, and I apologise for that.
I am no campaigner, but please can we respect the player who ever he is.
Mental Health is horrific, I speak from experience, and I have never discussed this with anyone before, other than my wife and kids. It is an unbelievably difficult medical condition, and you can reach the darkest places you do not want to go to, somewhere that I hope I never return. I am only doing this now because I feel close and feel part of the Bristol Rovers family, that is also important to feel part of something to keep you going and give you a purpose.
I cant comment on this particular article, I just hope the player receives the help that they need, and that someone has immediately the wherefore all to help educate anyone involved with Bristol Rovers about Mental Health, and offer help to anyone involved in the club staff or supporters that needs it.

Another example of why I wouldn’t have him anywhere near us given the choice. Far too divisive…even if he was any good, it’s just an added bonus he’s not very good

Sadly becoming a standout feature on the forum. The sanctimonious Holier than thou brigade, guardians of our morals, soon show their true colours if someone says something they don't like.

Nice try but I doubt you really have any concerns about Barton being embarrassed. 17th in the table, 45% of League Two games lost, more red cards than wins, 2nd worst defensive record in the division, 3rd worst shots per game average in League Two and 3rd worst Xg.
