Great to have someone in charge that "gets" what football really is all about. (Popping the middle finger up at the home end, of course) Think he’s just reminding them how many trophies they’ve won in the last 20 years. Good for him though. Good to seem him enjoying football as a fan (and maybe letting off a bit of steam too!).

I heard he asked to see the trophy cabinet but was told the new ground hasn't got one as it just gets too dusty and nothing ever goes in it.

Is that a doctored or genuine photo? Wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if doctored. It is JB after all. Would be keen to see actual footage that it was taken from before entertaining any ‘outrage’😄

Fair enough if you are happy with that sort of public display from our manager I personally am not. Neither do I think it’s a good example to his son. I am not anti Barton and I think he’s doing a great job here, but I think he should start acting a little more responsibly. That is not to say that I wouldn’t or haven’t behaved the same, but then I am not manager of this football club.

Hopefully you're not just basing your views on JB's behaviour last night purely on what could well be a doctored photo?

It isn't a doctored photo, but it's hardly a big deal either! www.gettyimages.co.uk/detail/news-photo/former-olympique-marseille-player-and-current-bristol-news-photo/1421704697

I mean, it isn't no - but at the same time, he is a custodian of this football club - and one with a "reputation" to boot. I'd just rather he didn't if I'm honest.

He wasn't there as Rovers manager, he was off duty, in with the normal supporters, enjoying a bit of down time. We've had so called supporters do far worse in the name of the club.

Is that a doctored or genuine photo? No idea! Was in a Daily Mail article. Tickled me either way.

What were your thoughts on DC’s “print that b*stard” speech while watered up at the pub? (Genuinely interested) I mean I genuinely don't understand the comparison? B*stard isn't really even a swear word for many. He was also commenting on an event rather than making a gesture at another individual/group of individuals. I honestly don't really see the two as remotely comparable - but maybe I'm alone. For avoidance of doubt, I'm not saying I want him disciplined or anything like that. I just would prefer it if he wasn't stood swearing at other fans. I won't lose sleep over it, don't want him sacked - not even really questioning if it's right or wrong; I'm just merely pointing out I'd prefer it if he didn't.

I’ve been on the fence about him. Barton is basically an unashamed loose cannon and it doesn’t matter how many times he gets into hot water or worse, he’s going to shoot his mouth off and do controversial things. The things is, that this is partly quite refreshing in a world where so many people in football are watching their words and so desperate not to say the wrong thing that they never say anything of any interest or meaning. It can go the other way, too and he crosses lines I wouldn’t want him to cross. Whatever anyone thinks about Barton, looking back at his history it has to be a pretty big chance that his tenure at the Gas will end abruptly and on a sour note. I don’t like all these court cases and sincerely hope he will be found not guilty in the upcoming one. I certainly don’t feel it’s a time of stability but I guess I’m coming round to the idea that we have to try to enjoy the rollercoaster whilst it lasts!
