This lot spend more time on the floor than on their feet wtf, they are making this a very boring game, you just know if they were to go a goal up then it will be even worse in the 2nd half, thank god other teams don't play like this, Shrewsbury you are a boring team.

Hel still be fitter than Josh grant who has gone from” we’re managing his load “ to not being in match day squads for 2 weeks now as it says he’s out again Saturday. 👀 The bloke isnt worth it anymore. Would rather have kept Trev Clarke than Josh Grant what's going on with Josh Grant, he came on as sub 1st game of the season and disappeared again, please don't say he is injured again

him and Wael have a very good relationship, Wael backs him 100% and said last season when JB said he would resign if he wants him to, Wael said we could lose a 100 games but he won't want him to go, it would be one hell of a kick in the teeth if he left now, I can't see him leaving anytime soon. Me neither But in the hugely unlikely event that a Premier League or Championship club came sniffing, I would be massively surprised if he didn't grab the opportunity with both hands. He is ambitious and wants to get to the top as a manager. You're very naïve if you think that ambition is restricted to just with Rovers (even with all his "Premier League before City" talk). In fact; he is on record saying he would love to go back to Marseille and manage one day. He's even given his latest kid a French name Yeah OK I can see your point

JB has signed a 4 year contract with us and he has already said he wants to be here and get us into the Championship. If they want him we'll that's their problem This is the sort of thing that all sorts of players/managers say.. and then leave as soon as a club offers them a deal higher up the pyramid. I'm definitely not saying he is going to Stoke - but in the unlikely event that they actually came in for him, I would be very surprised if he didn't go! him and Wael have a very good relationship, Wael backs him 100% and said last season when JB said he would resign if he wants him to, Wael said we could lose a 100 games but he won't want him to go, it would be one hell of a kick in the teeth if he left now, I can't see him leaving anytime soon.

Am I missing something here? Has it been officially announced that LM has signed for us, or is this just another Gaschat “fact”? nothing has been confirmed

I personally don't dislike Portsmouth, now the referee is another matter, I really really don't like him at all, and not keen on your manager either after trying to get our player sent off, don't mind the fans though

You have made up your mind then. I am sorry if you have misinterpreted my post as 'sarcasm' as it certainly wasn't intended as such. I was simply giving my veiws of the game as I saw them. Fine to have your views, but again, why come on a Rovers forum with them? I wouldn't dream of doing it. I was at the game and have my views, the main one being that the referee showed bias throughout the game. I cannot comment on Pompey's penalty as it was down the other end in shadow. The Thompson incident I was genuinely looking the other way, although I couldn't have seen it in detail anyway. Our penalty was right in front of me and looked genuine in real time. How the referee could see in real time what slomo close-up showed after beats me. That idiot who calls himself a ref was as bad as they come, he was the most bias ref I have ever seen in the 42 years I have been going, I can't say if their penalty was or not but what I do know is he wasn't going to give it until the reaction of their crowd like it was all game, everytime they shouted for something they got it when we wanted something it was waved away, I really hope we never have to put up with that so called ref again and if he does come to the mem we should boo him from the minute he walks on the pitch to the minute he walks off, it won't effect the game because he won't give us anything anyway

I thought you played quite well. You didn't have many clear chances though and if Raggett hadn't made a total mess of trying to play the ball out I don't think you'd have even scored one. It did look like a penalty from where I sit but I watched the replay and your bloke seemed to play for it. My main point is how do you put up with that whinger Barton. He's got to be the sorest loser on the planet. Slagging off the Cowleys and talking crap about going to war at Fratton. Poor Thompson is in a right mess but Barton doesn't give a fiddlers about him. iIt was good to see a team bring a good following but got beaten by the best team and that's the end of it. Good luck for the rest of the season and see you in March Thank you for your insight. almost everyone on here accepts that Pompey were the better side, that Rovers set up and executed a game plan which on another day would have earned some reward, that the Referee was poor and the outcome of the game was determined by debatable decisions which went in Pompeys favour, fair enough every one has opinions on that. However i do not think you are entitled to make snap assessments of Joe Barton based on what he said re this game. When he was appointed some fans here were not ,and still are not happy for reasons other than football. Some of them like you judged him on what they read and hear without really knowing him or making any effort to do so, guilty by reputation. While at Rovers Joe Barton has proved to be an excellent coach, knows the game and thinks deeply about it, certainly has the motivational tools to inspire his teams, and has repaid the faith shown by many, changed the minds of many more in a positive way, and the fan base is very much right behind him. There are exceptions still and that is there prerogative. Most away fans ,like you, still think of him as the 'bad guy' and give him abuse accordingly, since being with us he has shown admirable restraint in this respect , good for him. You can judge him on pre/post match comments if you like but i will wager that unlike the Cowleys and umpteen managers before him at Portsmouth, When Joe Barton leaves Rovers it will because he has taken the club to heights not seen for a number of years and has earned a crack at the big time, not because he has failed like the afore mentioned at Portsmouth. 100% agree but we know other fans will ignore that and carry on as they are

I was fuming on Saturday with how one sided that ref was, at 1 1 we were looking like we might get another but not a chance with that so called ref, it was so one sided it was unbelievable, Barton does moan a bit but this time he had every right, we were playing against 12 men, we were never going to get anything out of that game with that p...k in the middle,

Pompey get their customary big ground penalty from a weak referee. It’s a hollow win for them because it wasn’t deserved, and deep down, they know it. As for the “red card”, rewatched it, and whelan goes for the ball, and Thompson just jumps in the way. Their fans are all over social media making a terrible case for themselves like they always are, the same ones who hang off the railings like apes beating their chests whenever they come here. Have pride Gasheads, we only lost that game on paper. If the referee wasn’t a bottler, that would have been 1-2. If I was Joey I’d be showing them how much they celebrated getting fortunate decisions. They’re just happy to have had the result, they know they got out of that luckily but there’s no real substance. It’s played over a season and they won’t have gifts like that every week, they will most certainly get refs they can’t influence like yesterday, and they’ll have to form another plan rather than lucking out from terrible, weak decisions. couldn't agree more, lucky, very very lucky Portsmouth, your team won undeserved and helped by the referee and you know it!

I have not read this thread, I have never known such a one sided ref in all the time I have been going to watch Rovers, I have been going since 1980, I'm not one to blame the refs week in week out but we were playing against 12 men today, well 11 men and one f......g p...k. I am fuming, he obviously either hated Rovers or loved Portsmouth but whatever the reason we were never going to win that game with him in charge, well done ref your team won.

Your stats are not correct though are they as DC at the start of his tenure was poor. You have used his overall record and not the same timescale and games played. I didn't say who's opinion is right or wrong you stated that you couldn't believe what you were reading and didn't back it up with anything until the ppg average. You have a hatred of JB which is your prerogative but don't let it cloud over the fact he is turning us around from being an absolute laughing stock that we had become. The positivity running through the club/players/fans is something I haven't seen for years and the majority are enjoying this upward curve and are believing that we can take the next step up into Championship. For most that is good enough and yes there is no guarantees that we will get there but I am loving attending the Mem and travelling away again as it seemed to become a bit of a chore as there was no buzz around the ground. Is this down to JB 100% yes it is and whether you like him ,tolerate him or hate him you have to agree he has done a fantastic job here so far. How can someone’s overall stats not be correct? Barton’s overall stats are worse than DCs for us and that’s that. Yet people are already putting him above DC? Everyone is talking about what Joey COULD do not what he HAS done. That is why he is not above DC at this current moment in time but you lot do you. Your post is a great example of this. The guy has won about 4 games at League 1 level out of 20 if not 25. I can’t be bothered to look it up for accuracy but can’t be far off. When he improves on that he can be considered better than DC but he has a long way to go. Regardless of what I think of him. Those who just come at me with “you hate him” have no other argument. also DC not giving us a 2nd thought anymore, his love is for PV now, if you love him so much why don't you support PV instead, everything you post is negative regarding JB and Rovers.

You need to move on from your love in with DC - he’s gone - he’s history and won’t be coming back - embrace Bristol Rovers as they are now. When DC was sacked he was a busted flush here after winning just 4 games in 21 and fortunately in some respects he didn’t have another relegation on his CV because that’s where we were heading. - he then carried his lack of tactical awareness on to Walsall where he failed miserably and walked out on them. These are facts! If you insist on comparing stats it may be worth comparing ‘apples with apples’ and compare DC’s EFL stats with JB’s and not include the ‘free hit’ results achieved in non league football. Whether you like it or not (clearly you don’t) JB is tactically and recruitment wise light years ahead of DC and the proof will be in the pudding come this season end. Interesting thoughts blueridge. I love DC, but don’t disagree with your comparisons. I think JB is a more tactically aware manager who has a past history that gets in the way of any discussion about his merits as a football manager. His past football experience of playing at the top for so long gives him a knowledge that others without that experience don’t get. I also think JB knows that with us he has a club with potential to do very well and given the time and finance that Wael may well give him he has the chance to really achieve something. He did well at Fleetwood but there is a glass ceiling there which will always limit what is achieved. League 1 play offs and their crowds were still low. Forget the stats really, you can make them say what you want if you are selective. JB so far hasn’t achieved much in League 1 with us but you can see that he’s put together a team far more suited to League 1 than the past four managers have. Now he has to achieve that and only time will tell. It means very little, but when I watched the second half v Oxford I was in no doubt that we’d win. The team were set up to deal with what Oxford threw at us (not much). A good mid table finish this season and gradual improvement and then we go again. But I don’t think JB is that patient, he’s looking for more. No complacency there! UTG! .

Sh1!heads are so odd. Criticising us for aiming high? We’re well aware the club is still 30 years behind off the pitch. But what is the point just being content with where we are? Such a strange fanbase and they call us strange, those 82ers really are a bunch of idiots. Yeah let's stay as we are and not aim for anything, think they are getting worried because they would love to have a manager like JB and an owner like Wael
