The fact he did what he did was wrong,goes without saying. But as a female I know I would not get myself involved in something like this,would have walked away. But of course when drink is involved(and I would suspect that it was on both sides)common sense goes out of the window. You only have to watch one of those police programmes to see what goes on in city centres at night. Male and female worse for wear causing havoc! Do not get me wrong,he was very silly to say the least and he has to pay the price of course and just he hope he learns a lesson. Also the girls?

Exactly bs10er I agree, as a woman I sometimes am appalled at the behaviour of girls/ women on city centre at weekends đ¤˘đutg its not just the males!

Exactly Tilly the main focus seems to be on JBs actions and not the women's actions should they not be judged on their actions as well clearly not going by some people views and opinions. If you read the article it stated the JB told the women not to get involved yet they still decided to involve themselves The women involved are not employed by Bristol Rovers FC and do not strive to be a value to the community and set examples for young and old fans alike all over Bristol. Their actions, right or wrong at the end of the day have absolute nothing to do with Bristol Rovers - they do not nor never will represent us. Youâre always told as a kid two wrongs donât make a right so please explain why a 27 year old man has spat at and then assaulted not one but two women without saying âmaybe they deserved itâ which is essentially the excuses being put forward so far. Embarrassing that people are trying to justify it. This is what Mr Brown will be endeavouring to do in the future - best of luck to him. The women's actions do have something to do with Bristol Rovers, them putting themselves into a discussion which was nothing to do with them, and acting as they did, led to Mr Brown retaliating, and ending up in Court. Hence we are discussing their actions too, which have been detailed in the press. Maybe he assaulted two women, because the two women abused and assaulted him - he didn't pick some random woman out of a crowd. My son worshipped Eric Cantona, however, he's never attempted to do a Kung Fu kick on anybody - values are instilled by parents and family, from a very young age. I always think it's very lazy to blame a person's behaviour on the actions of a footballer, pop star, A lister or whatever.

I'm just surprised and not a little disappointed that Wael has backtracked on his earlier statements and signed a man convicted of a violent offence. A man who actually admitted it through his guilty plea, even though the wannabe defence lawyers on here have conjoured up multiple implausible excuses for him.
I hope the two JBs control themselves this season, although whether they do or not won't matter to some if they are at our club. Very different story if they weren't.

Anyone know how he actually played today? Rubbish Really? I heard that he had some good link up play with Collins, and set Lofty up, when he could have taken the shot himself - unfortunately Lofty didn't quite put it away. Not hearing that anybody particularly set the game alight, which I would say is typical of a pre-season at this early stage.

There is one thing that has been overlooked in the report it said the argument started with the doormen and then the women got involved. If the women hadn't got involved none of this would have happened I think there's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Have some of you also considered he may have just pleaded guilty under the advice of his solicitor to save the hassle, first offence etc. Everyone deserves a second chance surely or is that too much to ask from some people? He has a previous conviction for being drunk and disorderly. Don't we all? Who hasn't been a bit disorderly when they're drunk? Difference is some get nicked and some don't. Depends on who's looking.

Surely everyone should strive to be of value to their community and be a good example to the young,? unfortunately not every one does or is, take the players in an average professional game, cheating , abusive to authority, sometimes violent, hardly role models are they? then of course there are the thousands of fans, abusive to players and officials, behaving in a way which would be deemed unacceptable in the street, but of course they do so from the safety of the terraces, should their employers sack them ? people in the public eye do not have the safety of the terrace to hide behind do they, those who bait them do so knowing that any retaliation will be in the media almost immediately , give the lad a break!!

I assume most of you have daughters and would be absolutely fuming if a man spat and hit her in town regardless of her actions. Girls racist to man Man spits at lady Lady pulls his hair Man slaps lady for racist and pulling his hair. . Wind your Dam neck in were not all whiter as white as you.

The Trump supporting snowflake is whinging again đ It's not whinging Yatton. Just pointing out hypocrisy. Same as I did with Trump. Funnily enough it was on the George Floyd thread, where you were one of the most vocal virtue signallers. Funny that! [b Hilarious! You pretty much never posted again on that thread after you got your arse handed to you on a plate đ đ

Looks like heâs started life as a Rovers player well linking up with his team mates , scoring and creating. Hopefully heâll keep out of trouble from now on because i think weâve signed a very good player. UTG

I hope the two JBs control themselves this season, although whether they do or not won't matter to some if they are at our club. Very different story if they weren't. Yes i agree aghast. Joe B will be happy that he has a very good player who others were looking at 6 months ago. Not so sure the club comes out of this well and Waelâs credibility given what he said has taken a hit. And their statement last night just makes it worse. And it is a big season for both JBs, I think and hope Browns bad night out was a one-off and that he will now do his best to represent himself and BRFC in a good way. As for Joey B, if he thought he was a âmarked manâ as so many on here say (though I suspect some of them helped make him a one when he came here as Fleetwood manager and got a red card and generally acted like a dick) he has made it worse with the farce of his FA hearing recently. Lots on here think it will be a real challenge this year. I hope theyâre right but I will be satisfied with progress, a top half position and a more consistent season than last year. Iâm not sure Joey has that patience. As ever time will tell. UTG!

There was no mention of anything in court apart from an ongoing confrontational situation which began at and continued as they went away from the venue. It seems pretty clear something HIGHLY offensive was said to spark him to spit. It really does sound like something and nothing overall but is a stain on his record that would have been better for all parties if it had never happened, much like his statement said really. Time to move forwards now imho. He pleaded not guilty then went to court and plead guilty. Not sure his statement can be taken to be too seriously tbf. He wonât have written it himself anyway Yes, no mention in court. Brown says heâs not guilty, then changes his mind pleads guilty and then mentions something that wasnât part of the evidence afterwards and some on here accept it as the accurate account of what happened. In the end most will believe what they want to believe. We canât do any more than move forwards like Gaswood says and hope Brown is contrite. Everyone deserves that second chance but he needs to show that he is seriously sorry for what he did. UTG!
