The penalty decision was the worst since Vic Callow refused a penalty for the rugby tackle on Carl Saunders at Wembley in 1990. Wasn't just that game. Callow allowed all Rovers fans to travel to Notts County for a game that was never going to pass a pitch inspection. Didn't have a local ref do an earlier check then looked at the pitch from the tunnel not long before kick off before calling it off. Rumour at the time was he had a general issue with Bristol. A few Ted friends of mine took the p155 until they had him for a game and came back with. 'See what you mean, what a ****'

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. Maybe a Barton thing. Let’s be fair, most of us intensely disliked him while he was at Fleetwood and i do think his past precedes him. Fleetwood were a dirty and time wasting machine. Given the amount iof anger here, i would imagine the ref will be reported but then, does the EFL have the bottle to do anything ? Seems the Rovers are having a lot of attention and from the wrong places. I do wonder , sometimes Yes. Of course it would never be admitted but I suspect we, as a club, are being handicapped by officials for JB forthright views about them. Hey ho. UTG!

Because people know i hit the nail on the head, they just don't want to admit it to themselves. The repetative nature of your posts suggests that you've probably received a blow to the head at some point. You'd have to have received a dozen blows to the head if you believe wael will deliver a stadium.

Fairly clear you don’t watch the club in our current gaff, so your obsession over any talk of a new one is mighty odd.

What do you call a poster who posts
Just prior to their team kicking off
THEN
Shortly after their team conclude their game?
No need to reply.
No need to ponder.
No need to waste time.

Perhaps if you took part in threads about the football side of the club and not just concentrated on your anti owner/ ground agenda, you might well be taken more seriously. The fact you never reply to questions asked by posters about footballing matters is good reason for people to think you don't attend games. Are you a season ticket holder, do you attend games, what area of the ground do you sit/stand in, how long have you supported the club, have you supported the club since the Eastville, Twerton days and then the Mem? I'm interested and am sure others will be.

This same referee booked 5 of our players against FGR and another 5 yesterday - the most players he’s booked in any match for any team this season. Perhaps the club will challenge this referee and his standard of refereeing. I don’t feel there’s much chance of the EFL doing anything about it though, but hopefully he’ll be kept away from officiating any future BRFC matches at home or away. It does tend to reek of bias for whatever reason.

Without even thinking about it, you’re on a Rovers message board and have rarely, if ever, been involved in discussions concerning: - Upcoming matches - Post match analysis - Team/Individual performances - New signings - Tactics - Matchday experiences, home or away Just about anything & everything concerning a football club on a game day or otherwise. Bar slag off the owner. I’d say I was pretty close.

It makes me laugh when people talk about JB influencing referees decisions against us. What or who caused nthe awful decisions against us before JB started??? Referees will always give poor decisions against us mespecially in games where they can have more influence with a big home crowd. Gavin Ward is just a very poor referee-always has been and always will be.

Saw last 2 seasons at Eastville, missed probably 5 matches in our entire time at twerton, don't have a season ticket but attend 70% of home games and a few away. That good enough for you?

Funny this. I got talking to the guy sat next to me yesterday. The conversation turned to the forums and the guy immediately mentioned C/gas, not in polite terms. Hey ho? Because people know i hit the nail on the head, they just don't want to admit it to themselves. To be clear., i think your comments about a new stadium are right and that is why i give them a like plus, after Barton getting delusional and talking of prem, when we have nothing like the money or infrastructure, is just truly laughable but it seems to please a large number of fans, who don’t think it through. If someone as wealthy as SL is talking about calling time on the 82 then that should tell you a lot

We all know refs make mistakes but you know it's bad when the BBC commentator - who obviously isn't a Rovers fan- was totally bemused by the decisions yesterday. It's like being back in the Conference league again. I thought that as we moved up the leagues the standard of refs would improve. This doesn't seem to be the case.

Just a couple of observations about yesterday.Maybe if Collins only went down when he was actually fouled,refs may be more inclined to award pens and free kicks.Also what the hell was Whelan doing diving in like that when the opponent was on the half way line and not in a threatening position?.

It’s really hard to see based on the highlights whether their penalty should have been given. The balls palmed away by Belshaw, then Piggott cleverly gets in before Anderson and goes down when contact is made. Harsh considering Anderson has eyes on the ball and nothing else, whilst Piggott knows if he gets in the way of the challenge and goes down he’ll have a case for a penalty.
The Aaron Collins incident having watched it back, Collins sticks his foot almost into the Portsmouth player, then when he makes contact and feels a slight push, he goes down. There’s definite contact and you could argue that the Portsmouth player is stopping him from taking a shot, but Collins never helps himself by going down so theatrically.

You do not know him or his level of education so name calling is a bit daft as i see it and there is the thread about attacking the post and not the poster. Just nit necessary
