I can not believe people have tried to justify this I've just re-read the thread and cannot see a single post where anyone is trying to justify a death threat. Were they deleted or have I just missed them?

For the avoidance of doubt could you identify which particular wierdos on here should not be allowed to reproduce. Anyone defending the chants aimed at the death of Taylor, making remarks about the death of Cotterill and anyone defending Joey Barton's character. Hope that helps. But no-one has defended making death threats about Cotterill which is what this thread was about until you expanded it out and used as an excuse to have a good rant and fire abuse at other posters.

Perhaps if you'd been a fan for a few years you'd have realised nothing's really changed and we've always had our idiotic element to the fan base. There's a good chance the fans shouting abuse yesterday have supported the club for years. Agreed but just because blokes have knocked their wives about for years that isn't acceptable either is it? What's that got to do with Rovers apparently previously having a fanbase which was the envy of the football world?

If your decision is to abuse others when discussing others who you say are abusive I’m not sure where you’re going with this to be completely honest. 👍🏾 I decided to abuse others, as you say, for making remarks about the death of an opposing manager and singing about the death of a former player who take a massive pay rise to play for our rivals, as well as anyone defending a convicted thug many times over and alleged wife beater. If you can't separate the two that's a pretty bad indication of you as an individual I'm afraid. The Taylor chants started well before Barton's arrival, it was probably DC who had the biggest input in the toxic atmosphere created around him, so why bring Barton into it? Likewise I can't imagine Barton had any influence whatsoever on a fan shouting abuse at Cottrill yesterday, that was most likely down to him being an ex City manager. Hopefully the mods won't ban you but just let you continue making a bit of a fool of yourself.

So, it goes like this: “We condemn XYZ action and want to bring the offenders to justice for this action from CCTV evidence. Throw the book at them and get the police involved” Response: “I don’t think that heavy handed actions like this are fair and this is a massive overreaction and zealous in the extreme. Nobody should go to jail or face banishment for insults” “Aha! So you support abuse and racism/homophobia etc!! I’ve exposed you!” “No, I just don’t think that words and viewpoints, however abhorrent, should be able to land you in serious trouble because ones owns thoughts and views are sacrosanct” “Whatever, if you’re not with us, you’re against us” This is how it goes.

Were they deleted or have I just missed them? Page 1, and the rest. I don't have any sympathy for Cotterill,it costs allot of money to attend a football match and then have to sit and watch for over 90 mins grown men role around on the pitch in an attempt to waist time and to try and get opposition players booked and sent off is dreadful. It would be interesting to see a Shrews training session I suspect that their players spend half the time on the ground.

Hang on. There were no 'death threats' alleged yesterday. It's an important distinction

A death threat is very different to saying you wish someone had died, in the eyes of the law too

The emotion was running high too, let’s be honest I went to watch a game of football and not something like a sketch out of Monty Pythons flying circus! Absolutely appalling tactics and it’s no wonder it got peoples backs up.

Think S.C is setting his team up to get the best out of them he can , they are limited in technical ability so he sets them up accordingly , bit like GC did with us, with some success, can't make a silk purse etc come to mind, Spot on halifax. I think we’ll get better not sure they can. But despite their antics we should have won but could have lost. Had we won I suspect we wouldn’t be having the thread about what they did. But we didn’t. And I bet we have the same conversation next week or soon after about time wasting etc. I don’t think they’ve scored at home yet, not hard to see why. UTG!

Ummm….few holier than thous here, me thinks. How many on here have not chanted “we hate City” or a version thereof. Hate is a pretty strong emotion to express, just because their players earn a living playing in red. I really f*#*#ing hate them btw.

Football supporter says something mean to an opposing football manager shock horror.
Tasteless? Yes, very. But is it any worse than slandering a manager? Big deal? Not really.
I’m sure Steve is already over it.

I'm aware by the way that I'll probably get banned soon by the admins, some of whom love Joey and one of whom likes to make out he owns supercars, but we are where we are. Up the Gas and see you all when Barton has gone. Where does this come from? Why would we ban you for having an opinion. Unless you’re slandering someone, getting personal over it, or spamming your thoughts everywhere I can’t see you getting banned by anyone in the mod team.

“The only good city fan is the one that’s dead” is a line from one of our most familiar chants.
Where does everyone stand on singing that?

And we all know it always will be from the other 91 clubs. Just the way it will be, nothing we can do about it. 😉 UTG!
