There's nothing shown on the extended highlights apart Coutts doesn't seem to have put a Rochdale player on the deck with a punch or headbutt, how can just grabbing a player warrant a straight red? Grabbing someone around the throat sounds pretty clearly violent conduct

Thatโll be the court case out the window then . . . I'm sure that had nothing to do with their decision to have another baby, of course!!! Nothing says "come to bed" like a kick to the temple.

Being found not guilty would not make me like him, so I'd have a difficult decision to make. No one really cares if you like him or not, but if heโs not guilty, whatโs your problem? I didnโt particularly like Starnes, but certainly wouldnโt stop supporting the team, Iโve been watching for 42 years. Putting your own opinions to one side, if you genuinely can't see why some people don't like him then there's no point having this conversation.
I haven't stopped supporting the team either by the way, but I get you're trying to be provocative by suggesting that.
It's clearly a morality issue for me, some things are more important than football. I'm interested now in knowing where your "line" would be. Would you still go and pay your money and watch if we were bought by Russian / Saudi / Israeli state owned firms? Or if we signed someone like Greenwood / Mendy / Evans / Goodwillie?

Without meaning to start another row, surely not "whatever the outcome"... as if he's convinced, surely even his most staunch supporter can't abide that? Without meaning to start another debate, I take it if Barton is found not guilty surely supporters who have been staying away & depriving the club of much needed revenue will return? Being found not guilty would not make me like him, so I'd have a difficult decision to make.

Petrol increases plus general food price increases and impending gas and electric increases are bound to hit attendances plus of course the Joey factor I know several still not attending until he has gone. When is his court case? Two weeks tomorrow, the 18th. Whatever the outcome at the Magistrates court, still think he will be our Manager after that date and your " several not attending" will still be doing so for quite some more time.

not sure if this has been covered before but if the European final which will now be moved from St. Petersburg goes to Wembley then the League 2 play off final is scheduled for that date and consequently moved to another venue. Where would you like to play.? Not St Petersburg that's for sure ๐ Can you imagine if it was at Ashton Gate ๐ญ Nice and local, plus imagine getting to celebrate it at their place ๐
Sadly though you know some of our idiot Stone Island wannabes would just smash it up

Enlighten me then, what did you mean when you suggested people who dislike Barton should forget that and come along anyway?
As others have pointed out, it gets used as a stick to beat me (and the others) with when commenting on here, FB etc. which only strengthens my belief that he's solely responsible for us becoming so divided and with so much infighting.
The OP didn't sayย "We know you don't agree with us, but put that aside and agree with us", they said "Let's try and get the JB dislikers back. ie Support the team/club even if they don't like the manager."ย They were accepting that some don't like the manager but come along anyway for the sake of the team. Didn't see anywhere where they said they should forget their disliking of the manager either.ย I was obviously not quoting him ๐
Why should I give up on my morals and principles just because the OP says so? If he's found not guilty then I'm not going to immediately support him. We're supposed to be allowed our own views, but if I ever air mine I'm immediately rounded upon ๐คท๐ผโโ๏ธ

This thread turned into one because the OP basically said: "We know you don't agree with us, but put that aside and agree with us" directed squarely at those staying away or in fierce opposition to the manager. Wow that really is reading black and white and seeing grey! You got all that from "support the team"? Enlighten me then, what did you mean when you suggested people who dislike Barton should forget that and come along anyway?

The diversity within the crowds at the Mem is pitiful especially if comparing the diversity of Bristol. The campaign for female supporters to feel safe at games is excellent, but it is preaching to the converted to some extent. The club don't seem to do anything to introduce black or asian people to watch Rovers until the squad warm up in kick it out tee shirts. These are excellent points and I imagine 99% of people would be right behind you - anything to encourage more people to feel safe and come to football is a great help. The nuts and bolts of this are a bit different and more difficult, of course. You then lost me at this little dig making out people staying away are "fairweather" and therefore somehow not as passionate or "proper" supporters. Anyway, this will forever go around in circles, everyone knows where everyone else stands on this.

Why does every thread get turned into a debate for or against Barton? Very tiresome and the main reason most never join in conversations. I personally am here to follow the gas and donโt give a rats ass of your opinion of Barton.

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. go away then I have done. I didn't renew my ST, and tonight was the first game I've watched in ages. Thanks for the tip ๐๐ผ

I know loads who can't stand him, myself included. I find it weird how much people are prepared to overlook just because we've won a few lately ๐ Well , that doesnโt include me from day one Iโve wanted to give him a chance. A lot needed changing within the club, fingers crossed we are moving in the right direction, it was always going to take time ! UTG ๐ Absolutely, we were in a right mess after tearing up another plan - which seemed odd after investing in it to such an extent. I was only pointing out by replying that it's the circles we move in. Yours seem to be more focused on the football side, whereas mine can't see past the person. As you say, we're all Gas ain't we.

The Barton affect ain't it? Say what you like, if people don't like it they're snowflakes or the woke brigade. 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.

Dumb woman gives up Rovers and then puts it on internet. "Dumb woman"?ย :-| We don't know the reasons why she feels that she cannot go to Rovers games while Joey Barton is in charge - but I know several others who are boycotting because of his long history of violent conduct. If he is found guilty of domestic abuse and somehow not sacked then I would expect there to be many more too. Then again there will also be some who would celebrate him not being sacked in these circumstances. They would gloat about it on social media - calling out people boycotting as "dumb" and starting threads about him on forums every day in an attempt to antagonise the "haters". The Barton affect ain't it? Say what you like, if people don't like it they're snowflakes or the woke brigade.

Calling off a game because there *might* be damage ?! Same as wearing a seatbelt because there might be an accident.

Can't believe people are getting worked up or 'mildly dissatisfied' over this but are accepting of JB as our manager........ insight into the mind of the average Gashead? No offence intended, feel free to delete I've been debating whether to post this, thanks for putting your head above the parapet! I just presumed it was the weird SC sense of over-importance again, unhappy that everyone's forgotten or lost interest in them so they've stood up banging a pan now they've got this titbit.
