Read Ollie’s book. He has mentioned how he had coming togethers with the Evening Post as it then was (or perhaps Radio Bristol) and had the journos down to the training ground for comments which he didn’t agree with on the players in match day ratings. No different really - JB has obviously seen something he takes issue with and has responded to it. JB has hardly given any interviews this season, not sure what he can take exception to relating to footballing matters, as far as the stand at least the BP is bringing issues with Greens into the open not just leaving them hidden away on Rovers social media groups. |

My Grandfather was from St George, played cricket and football for them and had a couple of trials for Rovers in 1917 when home on leave from France. Asked to come back after the war but was gassed and had a leg ulcer for the rest of his life.
He told me in 1958 not to believe everything that I read in the papers, especially the Evening Post! I started watching Rovers regularly in 1962 and often felt the papers seemed biased. My view hasn’t changed.
I think it was the local paper report that said “McCormick bundled in the winner” or something similar. I remember immediately thinking “that’s not what I saw, it was a decent strike after clever chest control?”
I wonder if it’s that sort of reporting that has upset JB? It shows bias, it may be unconscious but it’s there in the can’t be bothered attitude. Doesn’t check if what they thought they saw was right or not? Can’t be bothered to even proof read for spelling mistakes or even getting names right on occasion?
I’m dyslexic so pay particular attention to names (especially as more people spell mine wrong than get it right). The new reporter (Hargraves I think rather than Hargreaves?) seemed to think it was ok that JB was on the team sheet Portsmouth published instead of Mangan even though Barton wasn’t allowed in the stadium. Not caring about accuracy isn’t a good start for a journalist in my book.
JB is somebody that seems to care about the details. In fact, I think a lot of his ‘problems’ come about because he cares strongly about many things. Seeing Macca’s strike being reported in such a lacksadaysickle way probably doesn’t go down well? UTG

The Post has been pro city in all my 44 years of being a 50 year old Gashead. Fair Play JB So despite countless changes of fortune, chairmen, players, managers,fans, journalists, editors and corporate owners, the Bristol Post is, was and always has been anti Rovers? Wow. That's some vendetta. I never realised the local press hated us so much. |

UTG Gave up on mainstream media a long time ago, leaning because my grandfather told me similar. Rarely read and watch mainstream news. Independent news (if there truly is such a thing, such as RA show)for me is the way for me. Believe only half of it. I've always felt that since 80s/90s Rovers have been battling media and communication authorities with their persona, acquisition of new ground or anything positive. Didn't DC ban BBC once? I don't blame JAB as many times last season the official highlights edited out really good chances for us in efforts to show we weren't as dominant in matches I thought we were... |

UTG The comment you referred to was reported like this: 'However, Rovers' resistance paid off as substitute McCormick bundled home from close range to secure the three points on manager Joey Barton's return to the dugout' The site did later do a very positive article on Luke and described the goal more favourably. I wouldn't have thought it was this that upset Barton and we might likely never know. At a guess he might be angry about the way the site have attempted to gain information, or concern that their reporting might disrupt transfers. It's also possible that it could just be a tactical move to attempt to swing things in our favour. He'll do things his way, that's blatantly obvious by now, and I'm not disappointed in the slightest that he sees the site for the trash that it is. |

Was just about to post this … He is absolutely spot on - A lot on here have called out the paper for a long time and rightly so. Absolute shambolic coverage and hugely biased towards inbred gypsies. JB gets my total backing on this one. And mine👍 The Post is a rubbish rag - Always been pro sh+t 💙utg |

Hopefully these in two parts can be read as Proboards is restricting the mpeg quality.   |

If James piercy the posts city reporter said in a pre match interview that" there may be a few chuckles about Nigel Pearson's confidence in his ability as a coach" I'm sure he'd do a lot more than not speak to the post after games.
That's a really poor comment to make by someone who has only been involved in our club a couple of months. I don't blame him at all for refusing to speak to them after reading that.
In fact if I was Barton I'd say il give any one of your other reporters my comments aside from Hargreaves.

Agreed it seems totally unprofessional for the BP Sports Editor to make such comments, it's the type you'd expect from the anti Barton posters on Gaschat, as does the suggestion that we'll only finish around 10th.
Hargreaves seems to be his younger protégé from Southampton so I expect more of the same from him, as he won't want to upset his boss.

Ah I misread that I thought hargreaves had given that interview so it's even worse it's came from their sports editor. What an absolute disgrace. |
