What are the merits and disadvantages of man to man marking vs zonal defence (each player responsible for his patch of the penalty area) of set pieces? We clearly defend using man to man marking system which, i) seems to leave nobody attacking the ball; ii) leaves us vulnerable to well worked routines- eg the block on Burn iii) the keeper staying on his line Are we just not doing a very good job under the current system or should we do something different such as a zonal system? If the opposition have an aerial goal threat (most do at set pieces) you surely have to mark those with your best aerial defenders? The rest can be zonal.

So we are back to my comment "Or will you dictate as and when you decide on an ad hoc basis?" then? All moderation is on an as hoc basis. We all have other things we'd rather be doing. Sorry Hugo (and thank you) you misinterpret my use of ad hoc; I appreciate you are not there all the time. I was referring to exactly what you have replied with - "grey areas"; which will be dealt with ad hoc. I really don't know how you put up with most of the replies to this thread. Much respect to you all.

I'm not trying to make a point I'm asking a question. I fully appreciate that Bristol Rovers is a football club but not everything related to Bristol Rovers is related to football. There are loads of things which people bring up which are Bristol Rovers related but nothing to do with football. I'm just trying to clarify. So anything Bristol Rovers related is automatically Bristol Rovers Football related. No problem. There will always be some grey areas that will come down to personal judgement. So we are back to my comment "Or will you dictate as and when you decide on an ad hoc basis?" then?

There are loads of things which are Bristol Rovers related that have nothing to do with football. Are you therefore making the assumption that anything connected with Bristol Rovers is football related or is there a section for Bristol Rovers related things that are not football related? The heading under "Gas Works" states - "The main forum for Bristol Rovers talk". Is it Bristol Rovers talk or Football talk (I assume Bristol Rovers connected) talk only? Or will you dictate as and when you decide on an ad hoc basis? If it's Bristol Rovers related then, it is by it's very essence football related - Bristol Rovers are a football club... There is a separate football forum on this board for non—Rovers related football stuff. Not really sure what point you're trying to make? I'm not trying to make a point I'm asking a question. I fully appreciate that Bristol Rovers is a football club but not everything related to Bristol Rovers is related to football. There are loads of things which people bring up which are Bristol Rovers related but nothing to do with football. I'm just trying to clarify. So anything Bristol Rovers related is automatically Bristol Rovers Football related. No problem.

"Remember the name Jordan Williams .... this kid should never be let go .... he has electric pace + every match ive seen him play ( about 8 or 9 ) he's been the best player on the pitch. He is the quickest right back and is like Jason Demetroiu but doesnt often stub his toe , fall over or shoot wide .... Good luck son ,,,,, you ve still got a great career ahead of you ..." From a bloke on Southend Forum. It's good to see we are picking up highly rated youngsters from all over for our development squad. Totally agree and I hope we are also keeping a close eye on local talent.

Why do you feel justified in taking pleasure from people getting upset by you calling them a scab? You are a pathetic individual in the Blackthorn, at away games with your constant moaning, and on here. When I have seen you at games, you don't appear to be stupid but you do seem very immature for a person of your age. I am sure that you can make your point on this forum, as others have, without resorting to such name calling. The mods say attack the post not the poster but it is quite difficult to exercise restraint where you are concerned. Not all of the 66 that went to yesterday's game will be posters on here but haven't you directly, or indirectly, attacked those that do post by calling them scabs.
As for fronting up and not running away, you are behind a keyboard for f**k's sake. How about you invite them into the left side of the Blackthorn and call them scabs to their face.
I don't agree with the format, and I didn't go last night, but I also don't see the point of calling someone a scab. The arguments against attending are valid and have merit. It's being called a scab that gets people's back up and you set the tone with the first post.
I take pleasure in calling out people for either willfully taking actions to threaten the future of Bristol Rovers and lower league football. As for making a point without resorting to name calling this very immature pathetic individual called a group of people scabs, it's not personal.
I blocked you months ago on the Independent Forum following your digs at Mike. I think your time would be better spent wandering around outside the League HQ with a placard rather than abusing people just because they watch a football match. You are a disgrace.

Just getting a vague idea about how much posters think mods should get involved with moving and deleting stuff. This isn't really a scientific way of finding out how we will mod, just a way to roughly gauge the feeling for mod involvement. Obviously this is more complex than can be reflected in a poll, so feel free to comment below. NB. this isn't a vote for the political system you favour, just the modding. Do you really expect serious answers to this?

He hadnt played the ball at that point! Was trying to get the picture at the right point when Sercombe played the ball and the above picture is accurate, onside by the skin of his teeth. 15 plays him on just. Yes but not if 15 (Madl) stood up straight maybe?

Perfectly timed run by Ellis, exactly level when pass made, and what a ball from sercombe. Blimey if Madl was short and hadn't been leaning over Ellis is offside. Madl's feet are further back from the mowed line than Ellis is. Assistant not quite in line. Great finish and I'll take it but...

www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/players-who-under-new-transfer-335025
Rovers did some good business in the loan market towards the end of last season’s summer transfer window – all deals which would not have gone through under the new proposals. Kelle Roos: August 24, 2016 – four-month loan from Derby County Connor Roberts: August 25, 2016 – six-month loan from Swansea City Jake Clarke-Salter: August 31, 2016 – season-long loan from Chelsea Charlie Colkett: August 31, 2016 – season-long loan from Chelsea Hiram Boateng: August 31, 2016 – four-month loan from Crystal Palace Head firmly in hands. Not one of them was a successful loan. Bristol Post, f**k off. Two of those, Roberts and Boatang, were never really given a proper chance in games.

Give them a chance! The UWE deal only went down the pan the other day. You can't just magic plans out of nowhere. He already said they will have to regroup and develop a plan for the new project. This will take several weeks, they will need to commission a professional team (architects, engineers, lawyers, commercial advisors etc.). I think they deserve a little breathing space to be fair. UTG! 18 months to establish that the deal isn't going to work after all? Something isn't right; there are loads of missing facts and I doubt are all "confidential". The statements from the two parties are contradictory.

The bloke is without doubt completely self obsessed and determined to thrust his views and beliefs on as many people as possible. However, by wishing to offer a full and safe vegan package at FGR, makes it almost impossible to offer meat alongside, even if he wanted to. To do so would entail separate storage and preparation areas, separate cooking equipment, separate staff, and extensive training. It is not just like banging a few veggie pasties in the oven. In the same way that a lot of schools have decided to be 'nut free', to cut down the risk, then for similar reasons of cross contamination, he has taken the decision to be 'meat free'. Strangely enough, a company backed by Bill Gates has just produced juicy burgers, blood and all, from plants. In addition, there has been a 1500% increase in the sales of vegan food in the UK in the last year. Predictions say we may be meat free by 2040! Now there is a sensible reply/comment and something to think about. I still think it is possible to offer meat for those that want it but fair play to you for the thought process and "argument".

I see you have an even more interesting use of the English Language than I thought you did. Why on earth bring up the ridiculous comment: "Are you the type of bloke who goes in Halfords and complains that you can’t buy a 3 course meal?” How dare Halfords not sell what i want them to sell" - i can see it now"? That's a totally absurd argument. Of course he can do what he wants. I have not said otherwise. I have said he is wrong not to offer food with meat in it. In exactly the same way I would expect someone who does not eat meat to be offered an option at a football match, I would also expect someone who does to be offered that type of product. Let's go back to the suggestion of Rovers playing in red shirts at the whim of the owner? Is that OK with you? I can only assume it must be from your comments. I'd suggest there might be a few who would be unhappy and quite rightly so. How about the owner not allowing any alcohol; you can only have water in the ground? It's about catering for various people’s choices and, within reason, offering what they would like; at a football match. My point is that he is not being respectful of other peoples wishes; just his own. That's a trait of a dictator isn't it? Yeah, that and genocide. Hi Hugo Where does genocide come from? And before you answer go back and look at what was said before. I have the utmost respect for your comments and views.

Yep that sums up Vince very nicely and, I think, totally proves my argument; that's exactly the attitude of a dictator. Your vegan restaurant argument is, surely, irrelevant as the product here is football not the food. Doesnt sound like a dictator, sounds to me more like a company Owner & Chief Executive. Who (surprisingly) < (thats sarcasm) can do what ever the hell he wants with his company or in this case football club. Are you the type of bloke who goes in Halfords and complains that you cant buy a 3 course meal? "How dare Halfords not sell what i want them to sell" - i can see it now "Your vegan restaurant argument is, surely, irrelevant as the product here is football not the food" - your the one getting triggered & upset about the food pal not me I see you have an even more interesting use of the English Language than I thought you did.

It was not intended as a dig at ellis. Lee brown played a lovely diagonal pass in behind the left side of the wba defence and ellis got in behind his marker,a covering defender just got to the ball before ellis but blasted it straight at his legs and it flew in the net. Maybe it would have been better to have put there was an element of luck in the 1st goal? It was a fortunate finish, nothing wrong with that comment. Certainly never took it as a dig at Ellis. Was it a fortunate finish or fortunate to be in the position of being able to finish? As said above he did what a striker should do. I thought it was an excellent finish and 10/10 for creating the situation.
