It's not a crime to hate Barton, everybody is entitled to their opinion and should be free to express it. I'm not sure what it is you're wanting revenge for though? He has ruined my Saturday afternoons by being there so whilst (as I said in a reply to another post) I should have used the word 'Karma' that hope that he soon leaves the club and stop the divide in the fans ...and yes, there is still a divide but I appreciate that some of the Barton haters put team results first and whilst things are good are willing to accept him as our manager. That's fair enough. It has only been 3 good games (who can forget Oldham!!) so I will 'accept' him as a football manager if the results carry on the way they have been for most of the upcoming games. But, as I have stated several times before, it is not about his managerial ability that I don't want him here so if he gets through his next court case I assume he will be here for a while. Thanks for the reply, and explanation - Karma makes sense, in line with how you feel about JB. We're all Gasheads at the end of the day, and will be here long after managers have moved on - it's good if different opinions can rub along together. Take care.

I have just read Joey’s post match words regarding his mentor who sadly passed away at the weekend, plus his beautiful comments regarding others in our ‘Rovers Family’ grieving including Darrell Clarke. It’s worth a read on Bristol Live if you get a chance.
Much like so many in this world there is good and bad in everyone, and Joey has a sensitive side as well as a slightly darker side.

Interesting debate/posts here today. I think everyone should make their own mind up, and whatever their thoughts etc it makes them no more or less of a supporter. I think SleepyGas sums it up nicely, respecting others. Seems like most people are accepting of others views and while not necessarily agreeing with them totally respect them. The things I don’t like to see are the young lady earlier in the thread judged by others, she should not have been singled out in my opinion and it showed a lack of compassion to a fellow Gashead. The other thing I don’t like is the silly labelling of fans as ‘snowflakes and woke’ and by people on the other side of the argument as ‘gammons’ . These really are ridiculous terms and very disrespectful and in my opinion are just insulting. Live and let live 💙 You see it from both sides. Ridiculous stuff really. Even People I know personally have taken up position on a very high horse and make nothing but smug/snide remarks to anyone who currently dares to enjoy this Rovers side. Almost making YOU feel bad for continuing to support the club! Live and let live all the way! E I E I E I O……

A reply that is not 'pointing fingers' or derogatory. That's how we all should behave on this forum (including me!). UTG

Oka, so maybe revenge is not the appropriate word and I should have use 'Karma' but it would be revenge for all the people he has bullied, attacked etc. Either way I just don't want him associated with the club. All the people he's bullied, attacked? You have no idea what that figure is or who they are. You have a very personal very obessive vendetta against the man. Seek help, seriously. Read his history. We can seek help together!

LALD favourite Bond Film and theme!
JB has improved greatly recently but from a nadir. We are still lower than when he took over.
Only time can tell, but I hope he succeeds for the sake of the club.

1 year of JB. I'm struggling to be honest. I hated his appointment based on his convictions for violence, which I'm sure none on here condone. I am still staying away, but know in truth I'm punishing myself more than anything else. I have invested the money I can afford in the club whenever possible. I'm still a supporter and a fan, but coming back now we are on a run seems hypocritical. I love the Gas and want success, I really don't know what to do. Baden come on back, I despise violence especially against women, but Rovers are my team and if he is convicted he will be sacked. You are punishing yourself because he is producing an entertaining attacking team with some quality players, some of the one touch passing, is exceptional. The atmosphere is electric and feelgood factor is returning, the bands food shacks outside the ground shows the club are trying to make the match day experience better. Give it a go I do not judge stay awayers but you are only punishing yourself life is too short .......UTG The Gas are coming!

I'm not completely sold on Barton myself, but I have you down as a virtue signaller, maybe it's just me but you only seem to pop up to preach your piety and denigrate other Bristol Rovers supporters. If by "virtue signaller" you mean me pulling people up on misogynistic comments then yes, by all means. You're right I don't post that often anymore, I find it so hard to enjoy Rovers with this "man" in charge. I'm not sure whether I should be flattered or not by your attention to my opinions. Ah okay thank you for confirming my belief you're just a sanctimonious twonk who enjoys piping up to spout twaddle which reaffirms their belief they're better than other Gasheads. UTG

Are we going in the right direction though , when you take in that many have one year contracts and the loans then it could be said that it will be a difficult task to have the same team, next season. There is always the probability of our better players being bought by other clubs too. I would be a lot more confident if not for this and we know hope little old Yeovil ended up, by using loans and short contracts. We shall see what happens but it will take some negotiating. Many of last years we've been like that haven't we? Loans etc? It's just how it works in the lower leagues. We loan, they go back, we loan others. Yeovil did that to the extreme and got found out. That is precisely my worry

It seems that it is now a crime to hate Barton. I have also been a supporter since 1971 and have always followed the Gas but god forbid I should now say anything detrimental about 'Sir' Joey. In my view he's been here one year too long. I will be delighted to see him go. I also realise that probably won't happen anytime soon so I will have to bide my time and listen to some of the posters on this Forum fawning about him. I'm a great believer that revenge is a dish best served cold so I will wait until he has dug himself a hole that he can't crawl out of. In the mean time I will wish for the team to play great football and continue in the direction they are going. Ridiculous post - No body is 'fawning' about him just enjoying the team and run of results he is responsible for. You make it sound very personal and what's with the 'revenge' ? Probably best you stay away my old fruit Of course they are, do you not hear some of the chants and fans revelling in having him at the helm ? It’s bloody hard to miss
