His latest RT is to congratulate the Newcastle United Foundation Downs syndrome team who won a cup Oh sorry, his retweet before the latest one then. Don’t be pedantic, you know exactly what tweet I am talking about. Do you think it’s the sort of thing that the manager of our club should be retweeting? i was not being pedantic. i was trying to show you that the guy comments on a wide array of things - some negative and some positive - and yet you focus on the one that enables you to criticise him and ignore the one that shows him in a poor light |

I'm amazed at the number of Barton 'haters' emerging on this thread, including one or two notable ones who previously defended everything about the club. I'm not amazed at the dislike of JB. I have no time for the man at all. But what has made so many come out and condemn him now? Watching a dodgy video interview? Is this really what opened the floodgates? The straw that broke the camel's back? To me that comes well down the list of his many unsavoury episodes and incidents, but seems to have elicited a big response this time, when other more dodgy stuff in the past has left some of us sceptics being told to 'go to Ashton Gate then'. This is a very good post but it’s a simple to sum this up, we are not playing games which are a distraction from his sh** he gets up to all year round. People started to work Barton out the second half of last season. I was at Wycombe Boxing Day and I said then, the play off talk is madness, we went onto to win 6 games in 25, proper relegation form stuff, he was lucky the season ended. Now no games, we’ve just signed a women beater, he’s posting utter garbage stuff again, he’s all we have to talk about, no communication from the club, season ticket sales? South stand? Fruit Market, signings dried and the PR spokesman is finding Andrew Tate interviews interesting, last night retweeting about Bernard Mendy?!?! Only winning football saves Barton now, many admit they don’t like him but put up with him, he loses games, many more will speak out. Two pension pot M5 signings coming home to Barnstaple and Newport. Luke Thomas is like going out with an old girlfriend again, Jevani Brown no one would sign because he hits women. Were these our targets this season? Nothing to talk about bar Barton, keep tweeting Joey, let’s see what he posts today 👍 |

I haven't said whether I like, or dislike Joey Barton. I just don't feel the need to vilify him at every opportunity, especially over such trivial and tenuous Twitter posts. If he wasn't our manager then you definitely wouldn't - nobody else does, same for all the clubs he's been at. I don't think a manager of a football club, who young men look up to, referring to a woman beating rapist as 'interesting' is trivial tbh. The generation of lads that are into this Tate bloke are the exact generation who, at BRFC, love Barton most (second place is the 50+ ex GHS blokes who read those cringe hooligan books). That’s a sweeping generalisation about us 50 plus blokes, to be fair I have only read Chris Brown’s books though as i have no interest in other clubs memoirs. I’d highly recommend Booted and suited as it’s not just football but a history of the city of Bristol, it’s music and fashion and is very entertaining. It is like taking a journey back in time and i could not put it down. Apparently a bloke from the 💩 wrote one but even they have ridiculed it. There are a fair few that do have a full collection of them though. |

Barton may post some questionable things, don't really see the issue with the subscription thing if he just talking about football and his experiences.
Think a lot on here probably have a "what will the neighbours think" syndrome. Outside the few of our own club, nobody cares. JB was easy target when he was a footballer, easy target now as a manager.
He has done a decent job here so far, people. Can say it will end in tears, well that's just the same as it has been with every other manager that has been here.

I cannot believe what I've been reading in this thread. So Joey is'nt the nicest of blokes . Well after reading what you and other people have posted in this thread -- I would say "Pot, kettle & black ". I have never read so much garbage, vit-riol & nastiness . You say the 50 + Ex GHS types ( You forgot the 60 + Ex Tote Enders) But some of you lot are worse. A lot worse. To think I stand in the same ground and support the same team as some of you -- Makes me cringe. |

Jack Grealish and Phil Foden getting pelted on Twitter for liking a post today, whatever anyone thinks this is a matter that is simply not straight forward.
I think it also involves the passions of football, fuelled by a dislike of other teams players/managers and also a dislike/disappointment with supporters own players managers. It all seems a little nasty to me and must remind us all of Caroline Flack how these things can manifest.

I looked up to this man. My whole life was built around him morally professionally as a footballer for this club. |

Probably a good thing Lambert didn't mention us considering the weird stuff he has been coming out with lately 😂

Who is saying banish them? This free speech argument goes both ways and we can call them all out for the grifting BS. The people that scream I’ve been cancelled the loudest are still banging on incessantly Why the need to call them out? Or 'Give them all the stick they deserve'? The bloke just said he found a video interesting. Absolute witch hunt. It’s not a witch hunt. There are people like Hugo here who won’t go because of Barton and will be fairly vitriolic regardless of what he’s doing and when he’s not doing anything in particular. There are people like me who can’t stand the bloke as a person, simply because I don’t like his morals and principals, eg, he doesn’t seem to have any, especially if it’s of any benefit to himself. However we are willing to tolerate his existence and will go to support the club and the team he puts out. That tolerance is beginning to hit a limit for some of us because he constantly attracts controversy or is willing to do or say something stupid in the pursuit of trying to look clever or be someone when all we really want him to do is concentrate on managing Bristol Rovers who ended the season badly. Then they’re the ones who like him, love him or support him regardless of the endless bellend-ery (yes I’ve just made that word up) that spews forth. Whichever camp you may sit, I won’t criticise you personally and neither should anyone else but everyone can rightly have a say on why they feel like they do. It also highlights just how divisive this bloke is. |

Somehow I missed it 😂 What’s also telling is that there are less people defending and just staying silent. Listen, he has potential to be a good manager but it seems that every few months we have to go through something that just doesn’t sit right with many. Not really got involved in this, as people finding fault with everything JB related, has become rather boring to read, or respond to. |

It also highlights just how divisive this bloke is. I think that Hugo rationalises his opinions very well, and he doesn't pop up on every thread related to Barton. Hopefully I'll get the opportunity to catch up with him at Twerton Park this season (Hugo not Barton!) |

Tbf Oldie The BBC have a statue depicting a naked child created by a known paedophile outside it's HQ while also covering up historic sexual abuse by monsters on the pay role like Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris, Stuart Hall etc. Doesn't seem to stop people viewing or posting BBC content does it? How far do we go? As I've said previously, it does seem like a witch hunt from the people who dislike Joey Barton. Got to agree there - it’s gone beyond the mere clutching of pearls and is rapidly approaching hysteria. It’s not as though Barton is preaching “Andrew Tate is the Messiah!” from the rooftops, is it? As far as I can see, he just commented that he watched the interview with Carlson and found some of it “thought-provoking”. That could mean absolutely f* cking anything! I’ve watched documentaries about Hitler, Stalin, Lenin, John Wayne Gacy and Lee Harvey Oswald and found them interesting, thought-provoking and containing plenty of food for thought; that doesn’t make me a raving neo-Nazi, neo-Bolshevik, potential serial killer or would-be Presidential assassin . . . At no point have I seen that Barton has endorsed Tate’s behaviour, opinions or alleged crimes, or recorded a video saying “Andrew Tate’s great, mate. Be sure to do what he says, kids.” Or words to that effect. And while we’re here, why can’t he have other businesses running alongside being our manager? Most players do, especially the ones further up the pyramid. I don’t care how many pies he’s got his fingers in, as long as he manages the club and coaches the team effectively. And as for people getting the arses out because of the “down to my last £20 million” remark, all I can say is . . . Really? Your lives must so grim and humourless if that pushes your buttons. Last week JB tweeted Carlson's "was a breath of fresh air, now this week he's tweeting "interesting" etc about the Tate interview, it's not just one off the cuff tweet, he's clearly trying to encourage his Twitter followers, and therefore Rovers fans, to also follow Carlson on Twitter. |
