Could someone smarter than me explain why we throw the ball back to the center halves when we are half way in the oppositions half? Surely no one smarter on here mate ?

The time it is taking is a little worrying. I agree with those that have posted about no plan B. Making us looking a bit of a shambles TBH What if Rovers have identified their choice for manager ? Perhaps they have chosen somebody already in a job. Perhaps they are negotiating a settlement. Perhaps the other club have asked for a little time so they can identify a replacement themselves. May not be the case ,but if it was it could account for a delay. A lot of ifs, buts and maybes there fella

Nothing against AM, but he was JB's choice for AM so therefore would the issues we had as a team still remain ? I was a fan of JB but have to admi that results under JB were not where we wanted them based on the squad we have. I know we have won a few recently but against opposition we should have won and also not altogether convincing wins. I think a new experienced face is the answer - someone who has a lot more experience than AM Think it will come down to our ambition this season, so many players out of contract before next season, that the appointment needs to be right, but is a great position for someone, no one can say we are rushing things! The time it is taking is a little worrying. I agree with those that have posted about no plan B. Making us looking a bit of a shambles TBH

My concern is that do the owners really know what they want or are they just hoping they’ll know once that person is sat in front of them and impresses? Absolutely this 4 weeks on and they’re still interviewing new people to the role? They clearly don’t have a clear plan or idea Nor does anyone on here.

I had 100 mates who said they'd never watch Rovers under JB who went yesterday. PS Never believe anything you read on social media. Names ? 🤣

Absolutely agree with this. Weirdly though, I used to be a very regular poster on here, I stopped posting for about a year or so... BECAUSE of GGMI's constant attacks on anything I said? Shows what a state we are in when we long for the days when GGMI was the biggest knobhead on the forum. He's one of our own

No offense intended mate and I could have used a less contentious phrase but the decesion by the few not to support the Team, due to JB's appointment, was a moral one. I think it was the word crusade that may have caused some offence. No not really. I, personally, vehemently opposed the appointment of Barton on the grounds that he was and would be a terrible ambassador for the club. Like it or not being that, ambassador, is part of the job. And, it came to pass. I did stop going for most of the season in L2, but went to Newport away (we lost) as I decided not to let his acts and verbage ruin my enjoyment of following Rovers. I am glad, very glad and relieved, he is gone. Not only was he a terrible, narcissistic gobshite as ambassador, his football managerial skills delivered little, it was always jam tomorrow and if things didn't work out he would make a public display of slagging off players. When future fans review the history of the club his period will be seen as a failure laced with embarrassment. I actually do not blame him. He cannot help what he is, whether what he has become (or been) is due to nature or nurture who knows. I point the finger at the chaotic executive of the club under Wael's ownership who appointed him. The frightening thing is, that is still with us, with the addition of a family of Kuwaiti businessman of whom we know little and have heard from even less. A nervous few months beckons. I honestly do understand why some didn't like JB but for it was his passion for the club that I loved and I do enjoy a controversial manager as it makes life interesting ! It looks like his recent presser re Evans and possibly calling out Luke Thomas on top of poor performances were the final straw for the owners. If we were higher up the league I don't think his comments would have mattered as it be seen JB being JB but our league position, following decent investment, clearly were no longer acceptable

Why the reticence to talk to the fans? We’ve seen a picture of you holding a scarf the day you came in when you made a short statement to the press but since then nothing. Why? Don’t you care about building a relationship with the fans? Don’t you want to share your vision? Today you made a big decision. A decision that made a lot of fans happy and another lot disappointed. Why did you make the decision? Do we have to guess? Early days for you and you still have chance to make a first impression. What impression do you want to make? You may now be the major shareholder but we the fans are the emotional shareholders and without the fans the club is nothing. So, just talk to us, please! What is it you want to know ? It's still early and there are probably contractual and pay off negotiations to be manged and discussed.

Surely the moral crusaders will continue their boycott until we get rid of Jevani Brown ? I'd forgotten Rovers had even signed him. Still don't see the need for the snide "moral crusaders" comment though. It's a personal opinion for most, nothing more. One or two posters may see it as a crusade. Probably the same amount as those accused of being in the "Cult of Barton" which is another phrase I dislike. He's gone, it's time for both sides to move on, not contine to point score. No offense intended mate and I could have used a less contentious phrase but the decesion by the few not to support the Team, due to JB's appointment, was a moral one.

all this lot that wanted him gone will come back to bite them on the ass, we will get another Tisdale or Garner now, Barton would have got it sorted, I'm gutted and don't want to go on Saturday now, really gutted Commiserations mate.
Can always follow your Joey messiah to the next club he drags through the dirt?
That's if there's another club that will take him on.
No need for that is there ffs - try and keep it classy - EDIT nice response fella to an earlier post top bloke

Was just thinking the same. A lot of people getting wound up about some mysterious person who may or may not have done something slightly dodgy but nobody really knows what and El Mysterioso isn't giving anything away. load of old bollox - makes the fruit market thread appear interesting

Non of this would be happening if Hamas hadn't murdered men, women and children, committed the most disgusting acts of violance and obducted innocent people including children and the elderly. Yes Israel's reaction is hard but I find if difficult to understand why some people can't understand why. Surely everyone agrees Hamas' crimes are disgusting, but the response from the Israelis has been totally disproportionate and their reaction has been to commit mass war crimes and collective punishment on the innocent civilian population (around half of whom are children) who have been subjected to an inhumane land, sea and air blockade for the past 16 years. The Palestinians are being genocided by a powerful Israeli military machine funded to the tune of £3billion per year from the US and Palestinians don't even have a proper army, navy or air force to protect them. This isn't a fair fight or even a "war"...this is a genocide. Agree that Israel's reaction is hard but then we and Hamas knew that would be the case. If anything, Hamas want this to happen so they can benefit from the media attention and draw in other hostile nations. Hamas are blocking routes out of Gaza so they are keen to exploit they deaths of their own civilian population. Israel has prevented the spread of Muslim fundamentalism for decades and now potentially face a tough battle with Hezbollah and other state backed terrorist organisations. There are no winners and I am sad to see to faces of the innocent victims - On both sides

Genuine question, is it acceptable for someone who does not live in Bristol to support this or will any such support be ignored ?
