Lovely post RD , although no need for you to apologise. At one point, feelings were running high on both sides, and I still regret having an online spat with you. The most important thing is that you are able to enjoy Rovers again! UTFG All water under the bridge now roverdrive, no need for anyone to apologise after the way it ended. Let's all look forward to hopefully another great season ahead and after the events of the one just past, exciting times ahead. Being an old boy I don't want to wish time away, but would love the season to start next week! UTG! Thanks both. Definitely water under the bridge and my sincerest apologies for my part in any online spats - I'm not proud of some of the things I said. Hopefully one day (maybe next season) - we can share a drink.... on me of course. Take care - UTG!

Oh hang on, that's how excited I am for next season.

Great post RoverDrive.
You certainly weren't alone with your feelings at that time. I think a lot of us are stuffing our faces with lashings of Humble Pie.
The great thing is I think we all now agree totally, that this team that Joey has assembled is brilliant, it has spirit, endeavour, a never say die attitude which also plays exciting, attacking, winning Football to boot. The last 6 months really have been a joy to watch.
I now have supreme confidence that this manager, with this squad and future additions he will bring in will really take us places.
Up The Gas!

Cannot wait for next season! So excited to see who Joey brings in - rumours KDB's agent reached out after seeing the 7-0, but Joey had to be honest with him and say he thinks game time would be in his best interests at this point of his career, and he simply couldn't guarantee it with our current midfield UTG!

Credit to you RD although I'm not sure you needed to apologise for anything I certainly didn't agree with some of the things you posted but never for one moment took any offense, they were all born out of wanting Rovers to succeed. I was pro Barton but will admit there were times when that faith waivered and had he been sacked I don't think any of us would have been shocked, I'm just glad Wael kept his nerve and we were all able to enjoy probably the best 2nd half of a season we're ever likely to witness UTG

Fair play.
Even us who back Joey, probably had doubts... the man with biggest balls to stick by Joey was probably Wael..turned out to absolutely be the right decision.
Easily the best football I've seen down the Mem, watching the Gas has been enjoyable and entertaining for past 6 months and looking forward to more of the same next season. Joey has assembled a really talented squad, hopefully we can get back a few of the loan players.
Utg.

Well done Rover Drive it is good to see fans making up with each other, bit like Joey and his wife who was sat in front of me at the last game and clearly pregnant that is her forth seems like they are going for a full team perhaps Bristol/ Barton rovers. Hopefully the court case will be sorted soon with a positive result and JB can get on with getting us in the Championship with no more mishaps and Wael plus TG can get on with creating a stadium worthy of a Bristol Rovers team then we will all be cooking with oil.

I must admit I must have missed it bit when did Barton resign exactly?

Maybe this sort of complete U-turn should have been saved until after his trial otherwise some of you may look foolish again and end up wishing you had hated him all along.

Lurching wildly from hatred to adulation and presumably back to hatred if he loses some games or his court case is enough to cause a heart attack.

Fair play to you. On the contrary to those saying you don't need to apologise, I think it's good that you've fessed up. Respect.
I firmly believe that if you step across the line, you can't scurry back unnoticed. Plenty of people expressed their strong views which were justifiable, but the delivery was poor imo. The forum lost quite a few longstanding posters around the same time too sadly.
I don't think people should hold back though! Football is an emotional game for supporters, so we still need to throw our feelings into the mix. Win some, lose some. Dust down and carry on😀
I'd even consider buying you a pint for this tbh. 🤔

Fair play Roverdrive, JB will always be a divisive character. I'm not a fan of JBs dark side but really appreciate the work he and his team have done to turn things around. After relegation at a whimper and a really poor start anyone was justified to question whether JB was the man to turn things around. Now we have momentum, an energized fan base and a squad to be proud of. UTFG

You just know that those ridiculous hypocritical grovellers would have equally been on here with condescending “told you so” messages had we failed to make the play offs. Equally a bad start next year, and the usual suspects will be shooting their mouths off again.
Where are the “not a penny” more brigade? Again I expect biding their time and waiting (hoping??!!) for a bad turn of form so they can start hammering the club.
So I have no interest in ‘apologies’ etc, the actions/comments from many earlier this season were a disgrace!

What on earth has Barton’s pass got to do with this? I am merely calling out the fickle, hypocritical supports who love to have a pop at any opportunity, and then simply change their tune when things go well……

Earlier in the season we were bottling games vs 9men, and our already disgraced manager had multiple new stories about him in addition to an extra court case. So please tell me how any comments about us being sh** or our manager being a piece of sh** that were disgraceful? I’ve seen worse posted about the likes of Buckle and McGhee but that’s okay bcos even though on the face of it they’re decent humans, they’re sh** managers so it’s deserved. This would all be water under the bridge if you lot didn’t keep bringing up the fact that some of us do not like Joey.
