The fact that he’s liking Gareth bale’s comments on twitter about taking the money and not bothered if you play or not doesn’t look good for us to get shot of him

I think the comments on this forum are, generally, pretty reasonable and civilised. I've dipped into the Facebook appreciation page and it's awful.
Twitter is like the gunfight at the OK Corral.

Any chance we could now sack Payne for bringing the club into dispute for liking that tweet, just like "Happy C*ty" did earlier today?

Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Shrewsbury had a great season being in the top 2 all season and missed out on an automatic spot right at the end and failed in the play offs. Rodman and Payne was instrumental in Shrewsbury's season. Payne was their top scorer. Personally, he wasn't a name I was really aware of and underwhelmed by his signing but then I saw he was Shrewsbury's top scorer and thought he must have something about him. I can see why DC went for him. After going through a season of Luke James then followed by the next season of Tom Nichols, Payne must have been very attractive to DC after proving himself in his final season at Shrewsbury.
He scored 9 league goals from open play last season. Wow. To be fair that's more than Nichols's goals and assists combined in 18/19 and Coughlan's going to give him another chance! 😂

That page and the" Passionate Gasheads" page are pretty infuriating to be honest. You honestly wonder what planet some of the people are on.

Hoping 'Matt Simpson' didn't cry at the responses he got from Payne. Anyone confirm. Or has it just riled 'Harri' up enough for him to call Payne a 'first class Special lady garden'?
I mean, in this age of internet trolling, where you don't think before you type, you should be able to say what you want to people on the internet with no comeback or consequences. It's not real life after all. It all gets deleted after 30 days. Right?
Of course he did. Straight to the appreciation page crying about it but deleted it soon after being told he was in the wrong.

Indeed. Anyone who uses insulting or abusive language to someone online is just as bad as those lowlifes that do it in public in my eyes. Pathetic and shameful. I wish there was an easy answer to stamping it out, but there's a difficult line between free speech and censorship. If only everyone in society was actually a decent person who thought twice before saying or posting certain messages to others. Totally agree. A good example...
I'm glad she got fired and made an example of. I personally think Farage is a tit, but would I even THINK that he should get hit with acid, let alone post it? Of course not. It just goes to show it's all too easy for people hidden behind their computer screens to type rage-filled guff online and think it has no consequences, and it's actually extremely naive and gutless. Those contestants from Love Island that have committed suicide in the last year or so. I never followed quite what happened but no doubt they were given a barrage of abuse online by people that don't know them from Adam yet think it's OK to personally insult them via social media, thinking it's not really going to have any consequences. I wonder if any of those people feel personally responsible for playing a small part in these people eventually ending it all. I'd like to think they would, but I doubt it.

The bloke's obviously being ironic in response to some lady gardens harassing him on social media. Context. This is exactly how I see it. The only thing wrong in this is the whole fact that he's even responding to it at all. Totally unnecessary and can only do harm rather than good. Well said. It’s the one thing that Nick Higgs did right. I really don’t see why any players would want to use a platform where they can get dogs abuse. I think it really is antisocial media in many respects. I can understand the superstar players doing it as they have worldwide exposure but not a lower leagues player. Yes, you can be popular for a period but it doesn’t take long for doubters and nastiness to appear and I’d imagine it would cause distress to family as well. Just my opinion, of course

I have never heard of twitter posts being deleted after 30 days but am happy to be proved wrong. I have used it and Facebook as a type of guide to how I have progressed/deteriorated and certainly see stuff from the date I started both. It is the first I have heard of deletion after 30 days though

Apologies to you and @weeezord as it obviously went straight over my head.

I don't think Cogs will put up with the crap DC did regarding players. And Payne might come back a lean mean goal machine. (Doubt it though: in history he and Nicholls will appear in the "Who was the worst striker in Rovers history" question

Payne offers absolutely nothing when he plays. You might as well play with 10. His football league goal record of 16 in 113 appearances for Gillingham, Barnsley, Shrewsbury and Rovers is woeful.
Nichols goal record prior to signing for Rovers was 44 in 157 appearances so he has at least proven he can score goals in the football league. Not sure why it hasn't worked out so far at Rovers because he's clearly a decent player.
Look how many clubs Payne has had, between Jan 12 and Jul 14 he had 7 clubs. All moves free transfers. He's had one decent spell at Dover, that's it. He's a National League player at best.

Which begs the question who thought he was worth £150K/200K even when we were desperate to replace EH, TW or DC, or both or them! Assuming he's on a 3 year contact at £100K/£150K a season then that's probably £500K+ gone (or most of EH's transfer fee) unless we can find somebody to take him off our hands.

Well if we needed a striker and he was the ONLY option, i guess they might have had to just bite the bullet. But for me the fault has to lie more with Widdrington. He is head of recruitment after all, it is his job to spot talent and spot weaknesses and make it clear to the manager. This sort of research is entirely his remit, and I really do doubt DC would have offered such a large fee if it wasn't the very last chance he had of signing someone/anyone. The fault here is really with whoever didn't get something more promising and more refined over the line before this mad last minute scramble happened. Probably boils down to both TW and DC.

Manager had final say on sanctioning 250k of his budget on Payne though, all wriddington can do is advise and manager makes final decision. It’s a shame he didn’t want JCH last summer as I suspect he may still have a job with us if he had taken that advice and signed him. Payne for me is our worst signing ever.

If you’re looking for someone to blame - Look no further than Stephan Payne! I’m sure that there’s a decent player in there somewhere? But trying just for the first game is not good enough in my eyes, he started here with a clean slate but he soon f**ked that up all by himself!
