Just playing devils advocate...I was watching the Chase and the answer to one of the questions was 'Dirty Den' from Eastenders. That got me thinking. The actor, Leslie Grantham, was very successful and his career was never harmed by the fact that he actually murdered someone!! So maybe Barton's misdemeanours are absolutely nothing in comparison and we shouldn't be worried whatever the outcome of his court case! This isn't a good take. It's also irrelevant, as Wael has said that he's going to fire him if convicted. Though to take your point a bit further, I've seen some fans of his would be prepared to let him stay of found guilty, so I wouldn't be surprised if some would permit him a murder. I was just pointing out how differently public outrage is towards certain crimes within certain jobs. I personally believe that if Barton is found guilty he has to leave. Our connection to womens football would make it untenable for him to stay.....but let's just wait until the court case is over ...if it happens.

No, this isn't another 'I hate Barton' post but it is a genuine question. When is his court case? I ask this because is that what is causing our silence in the transfer market and renewing contracts? Are players waiting to see if he will still be here after the court appearance? ( Wael did state that he would sack him if he is found guilty). The sooner it is resolved one way or another the better. I still can't stand Barton as a person but I also realise that he has been good for the footballing side of his job and for now we are better off with him than without him (that pains me to say!!) Not another Barton bashing yet you have to get in 'I still can't stand him as a person' What would you like me to say? I stated from the very start when he joined what I thought of him...nothing has changed from that respect....but if you can't be bothered to answer a simple question why have you posted on here?

As so many have stated...an absolute legend. He will always be my favourite manager. You couldn't find a more passionate, honest and decent man. Well done DC. See you next season.

As many of you know I detest JB and outside of his footballing life I still do. However I do recognise that after his abysmal start he has got the team playing some of the best football I have seen at the Mem. It was stated that one person isn't bigger than Bristol Rovers and managers come and go so I should just ignore my feelings and support the team. They are right of course. I was one of the many to scoff at his ridiculous pledge that we would definitely get promoted this season. I may have been a bit hasty there!! I'm still not comfortable with him being our manager and representing the voice of the club (his early interviews were a bit of a car crash) but maybe over time he has learned to think before engaging mouth. A part of me hopes that Burnley do want him and he goes but as mentioned the club is more important and getting a stronghold in Div 1 is imperative - which it seems he is capable of making happen. All of this speculation is pointless if he is found guilty at his forthcoming trial but no point worrying about that until it is over. Bottom line is that I can't stand the bloke but he is good for Rovers and that takes precedence over my personal feelings.

For some reason I am not as elated as the day of the Browner's right foot and I can only think it is because I still can't believe what happened on Saturday. That has to be up there with one of the best wins in the clubs history. I think it will hit me later this week!

I'm photographing a posh school's golf team tomorrow. I know that the school pro is a Northampton fan. Guess who'll be wearing his Rovers shirt for the job? Shirt,scarf, blue and white jesters hat, with a ghetto blaster on your shoulder playing goodnight Irene. Anything less and you’re not doing it properly And don't forget my blue and white nipple tassels!!

I think that is me sat on the goal line (you can see two photographers together and I'm one of them).I was Paul's personal photographer so I cheered when he scored and the official Rovers photographer (Alan Marshall?) just said 'big mistake!!'. Next thing I know is we were being pelted with coins (only copper ones....tight teds!!)

Whatever the outcome this isn't really good publicity for BRFC. Our manager and his wife consuming four or five bottles of wine each? As I have said on many occasions I don't want him as our manager - although he has exceeded my expectations as a footballing manager and got the team playing some great football but he has also confirmed my opinion of him as a person and someone who gets us headlines for all the wrong reason. Still, as has been pointed out, innocent until proven otherwise. We shall wait and see.

I had a reply from Tom Gorringe saying that as they had already had a change of shirt for the Homeless earlier this season the EFL won't allow them to have another one. He did say they were doing other things to raise awareness and funds (presumably the mugs is one of those). Still, good of him to respond so quickly.

Can we not get a yellow and blue quarter shirt made for an upcoming home game? We can then get the players to sign the shirts and auction them off to raise funds for the Ukrainian people. What do you think?

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!
