The guy for the pen threw himself down. with Sincs I just can't make a decision due to the way filmed. I don't think I've ever seen Sincs go down without a bulldozer hitting him - so surprised. First is categorically not a dive. You can tell by the way their number 3 puts his hands up as he jogs away that contact was made. If Sincs had gone down without any contact their 3 would have rounded on him in a heartbeat. Ironic then that it's their 3 that launches himself to the ground in our box second half. Shocking reffing.

Your so bloody quick to voice your opinion when things go tits up yet when we play well and things go to plan you go quiet on here. Why is that ? I made several quotes during Saturdays match. Complimentary ones as well. Before you have a dig, may I suggest that you get your facts correct. Thank you.Bit rich that!

Feel sorry for those that travelled. Nothing worse than going to somewhere like Bury and getting cheated out of it by an incompetent referee.

Apparently James Clarke had a problem with asthma and paramedics were attending to him. Hope he is ok. That's a bit scary. Hopefully it's a pre-existing condition and he knows how to manage it.

Diving isn't in Sinclair's DNA - cannot believe the ref got this right! Not too difficult unfortunately

You can guarantee we've been done by a shocking decision here. Sinclair is the definition of honesty. And unless the rule has changed, you can't appeal against suspensions for two bookings, so he's definitely out of Saturday's game. Which is an utterly ludicrous, nonsensical law.

2 yellows for 2 separate dives. That's bizarre, especially with Sinclair. Maybe the ref's beardist. Diving isn't in Sinclair's DNA - cannot believe the ref got this right! You can guarantee we've been done by a shocking decision here. Sinclair is the definition of honesty.

Just because he doesn't run around all over the pitch does not mean he isn't trying, just doing what the manager wants him to do not what the fans want.As was once said every team needs pianists and piano pushers,i feel we have enough piano pushers in the side and apart from Lines and Montano and possibly Clarke we have few pianists.Its getting the balance right,but unfortunately for Harrison every move,decision either on or off the pitch is analysed on forums to the nth degree,as has happened to numerous players over the years,Josh Lowe,Steve Phillips,Lewis Haldane to name but a few and in the end the players left the club,which is pretty odds on what Harrison will do in the summer Are you suggesting Darrell Clarke instructed Harrison, a striker, not to score, in all but 4 league matches this season?

6 wins and three draws would be amazing and surely enough, I think we can go unbeaten. That would be amazing but still not convinced it would be enough I think five wins, three draws, and a single loss might be enough you know – as long as one of those wins is against Millwall on the final day. 72 points would only have been enough for 6th place in two of the last six seasons but Darrell pulls miracles off on a more regular basis than Jesus. I just hope that it comes down to the last couple of games as I’ve become quite accustomed to end of season drama

Whenever this comes up people seem to miss the point of the complaints in my opinion- whether deliberately or not I don't know. I can't emphasise enough how little I care about who Ellis supports, who Ellis socialises with, what Ellis says or does in his free time. I do however find it extremely frustrating that he consistently uses social media to deliberately goad people who spend their wages to support him. It isn't the actions themselves that are the problem, it's the mockery of using social media to have a laugh at the expense of fans. The fact that he is under-performing on the pitch is bound to compound people's anger. Well, you couldn't have been more right there.

I cant believe what I've read on here! Ellis Harrison has gone out with Matty Taylor, and posted a picture of them together. So What? Is it now s crime to go out with a mate? What people do in their own time is their own business. Some of the comments said in here is not warrented. What has going out with a mate got to do with his performences on the pitch? Nothing! So time to get a life guys! Literally no one has made any sort of link between his lunch date and his recent form. Nor has anyone accused him of breaking any laws. Nobody has even said he shouldn’t be out for lunch with his mate, despite his mate being an awful bloke of ill-character. I’ll repeat it for the umpteenth time: the issue some of us are having is that he used his Sunday lunch (which looked quite nice actually) as an opportunity to wind-up Rovers fans. As Peter Parker has mentioned, it’s quite likely that he was trying to get one back at the “trolls” that have dished it out to him (and his mate) on the terraces and on social media, but I’m of the opinion that it makes us all look a bit daft and for that reason it sticks in my throat. Again, regardless of his intentions or his feelings toward the fanbase as a whole, he should be doing better by those that have supported him for a long while now.

I find it all quite funny, we're all different and act in our own little way so there will always be divided opinion, it doesn't matter if we have differing opinions- but some need to chill out. I choose not to be offended and found the post quite funny and nice that he still sees his mate. I also love that Ellis seems to be a great lad, he's always more than happy to sign shirts, have photos with the kids and chat to them as well when not playing. They guy seems to bring a bit of fun to the team and his vital goals and his apparent ability to generate humour in the camp has done us well so far but I still believe he could be more consistent on the pitch, but so could a number of players. UTg Of course, you're probably absolutely right. As you've said he does his bit with the younger fans, and he seems a popular lad with the rest of the squad, probably a bit of a joker in the changing room as well which is likely good for team spirit and if DC thinks he's worth a place in the squad then he must be. It just doesn't sit right for him to be taking the p*ss out of people that have turned up and supported him for seven years.

I see that Ellis “about as subtle as a brick” Harrison is up to his old tricks again. Is it that he’s that desperate for attention that if he’s not playing he has to wind up the fans, or does he just genuinely not give a f*ck about us? Him and Taylor out for lunch - which is fine, they’re obviously good mates - but Harrison has had his fingers burned enough times to realise that this making its way on to social media is going to get under more than a few Rovers fans’ skin. I see he also commented on a post Taylor had put up following their win at Wigan with “W*nker”. It’s pretty apparent from their relationship that this was done with the intention of having a laugh at the expense of the Rovers fans that would inevitably take this at face value; “OMG Harrison just called Taylor a w*nker on instagram – LEGEND” . I can’t understand why he thinks this is ok? If he doesn’t like us, that’s fine, but I can’t think of any situation where an employee would be allowed to take the p*ss out of customers so openly and get away with it. I think that with the ear cupping at Wembley, the evening out at Ashton Gate, the sulky performances on the pitch, and now another social media ‘incident’ it’s time EH had a good look at himself and whether or not he’s being fair to those that have contributed significantly to his monthly pay packet for the past six or seven years. I’d say not. Who gives a f**k who he hangs around with in his spare time , get a life mate . As has been said above it's not about him having lunch with Taylor, or going to Ashton Gate to watch fellow Welshman Wes Burns, or wearing C*ty pyjamas, or playing ping-pong with Lickle Lee while Sir Steve captures the scene in a renaissance style oil painting. It's about him going out of his way to sh*thouse the fans that have turned up week-in, week-out to support him for seven years.

What about the fans that neither blast him on social media, nor on the terraces, and still have to put up with sh*t from the fallout of his little wind-ups. It's a small minority that openly abuse players and I think that the majority deserve a little bit of respect from the players that have had years of support. Thank you for your brilliantly condescending reply though. #superfan Their shouldn't be any fallout, not if everyone involved was sensible. Why is the onus always on the players to be the better/sensible man, especially when some of these players are still young men themselves? As far as I am concerned he has done nothing wrong. Perhaps he has antagonised a few people, but that is a few people who have nothing better to do than watch and react what some of our players put on social media.
Social media can be a great thing, but if I was football manager I would advise players to avoid it like the plague because of fans and stick to their own private whats app groups or something and we would be worse for it in someways.
For all the stick Ellis gets and some of the questionable things he may do in reacting to some fans, I have heard plenty of what a decent guy he is and it's a shame he and others just can't lead a normal live because of some obsessive fans. Everyone loved Taylor when he put his main sail in the cup, but he has done what he has done and now a lot of those same people will never forgive him
There is never enough balance on social media unfortunately. The middle ground is rare, as it always seems to swing from one extreme to the other.
People should just leave the f**king lad alone
But that's clearly the opposite of what he wants.

I think the issue is not that EH had a pint with an old work mate but that he allowed a picture to be posted on social media. If he did not realise that this would p**s of many Gasheads then he is one thick lady garden. He absolutely did know. That's the issue for me.
