Curious, are those who said they won't support him if he re-signed going to stick to their word? There will be a lot of stony faces in the midst of mass crowd celebrations when Taylor scores this season... or not.

Scenes when all the posters that don't want him to sign now camp out at the Mem in protest.

. Would be interested to know what fans you have spoken to about him. Living in Cornwall I know a lot of Plymouth fans and they were sad to see him go. They said he is commanding and a good leader.
Just various Plymouth fans on forums really, I literally haven't seen one who thought Hartley would do well at L1 level.
I don't think its sour grapes because he turned them down, as they all seem to rate Nelson.
If you don't stop scraping you're going to put a hole in the bottom of the doom and gloom barrel! Similar sentiments here in Devon to the ones in Cornwall; Argyle fans are sad to see Hartley leave. It seems that the mysterious forum naysayers are in the minority...

Man-in-mid-20s-like-drinking-alcohol-shocker! Why would you try and trivialise drink driving? He hasn't been pulled over while half a pint over the limit. He was two and a half times the legal drink-drive limit and he crashed into a parked car. That parked car could easily have been a pedestrian. Tom Parkes is damned lucky he's not about to go to prison.

I'm getting fed up tbh, not because we're not throwing stupid money about and not because of the MT saga, but because people on here just moan and moan,for no reason at all! I don't know why but Rovers fans are horribly negative. I could just about understand it a few years ago, but we've had back to back promotions. DC has worked wonders with players the majority said would be crap and he turned down Leeds to stay with us. People are slagging off the new owners but they've done more in their short time here than NH and co did, debts cleared, no more Wonga loan, negotiating over the stadium to make sure everything is right for us. Remember when NH said we had a watertight contract and we never? What's to say the stadium issue isn't massively flawed and the new board are working to resolve that? But no slag them off, that's the Rovers way. DC has said he only signs players who are the right fit for the club. Its worked out for him so far and yet people are moaning because we're not going after the likes of Jay Simpson who was on 15K a week last season and scored less than MT who was probably on 2K tops. People are telling us to get rid of MT, he's used us and then the same people moan when rumors arise of MT signing for Oxford on 4K a week and say we should have paid him 7K. DC has said he won't pay more than he believes a player is worth. If DC thinks MT is worth so much in League One he would have gave him it, from what we know, he hasn't and therefore he believes he could sign better with the money MT is asking for and that's why we're not giving in to him. WAQ said we are taking things season by season and we won't be chucking money around for the sake of it, which plenty praised but now people want him to chuck thousands and thousands on players for the sake of it. I'm sure a striker of MS credentials knows whether our strikers he see's every day can hit the back of the net on a regular basis more than the Rovers fans who seem to just sit behind their keyboard and complain 24/7. Let DC and co do what they do best. They haven't let us down yet, but you wouldn't believe that if you read this place. This a hundred times. I like this forum and use it as my first port of call for Rovers news and there's often lots of good info and debate on here, but my word there's some sh*te spouted on here at times. One thing I would say is that I'm not convinced football forums (fora?) are necessarily representative of entire fanbases. Those who post tend to be more outspoken than your average fan and so I think we see a polarisation of opinions. That said if I was DC I would laugh until I cried at some of the people on here and their "insight" in to managing a football club. Just let him do his job because if you haven't yet noticed, he's quite good at it.

Adam, you go one-nil down quicker than the Gas at Mangos by having that hairy 'personality'/numpty introduce these! Food element, music, hmmmmm.... Actual football coverage is very good though. No I like the slightly wacky bearded bloke intro. Real life characters , love it. Create a difference , great work. That "real life character" is 'comedian' Justin Lee Collins - a well known sheed.

James Clarke scored. MT in the bar. Has he signed? Yeah, Clarke signed ages ago.

Some people were just born to do certain jobs it seems...
Footballers moan about having short careers but they dont half seem to get some cushy jobs after they hang up their boots!
I remember having a little altercation with Danny Coles in Edwards while he was still at City. What a horrible guy, was gutted when we signed him!
It seems that anybody that's had any interaction with Mr. Coles says something along those lines. There's no smoke without fire, as they say.

No, it was the striker that we've just signed on loan who scored 2 goals in a 2-2 draw in September. (Not srs). Oh, my mistake. Sorry.

Luke James sent the Gas down. The Board, management and players sent the Gas down. No, it was the striker that we've just signed on loan who scored 2 goals in a 2-2 draw in September. (Not srs).

Exactly. If he hadn't have been so selfish and not scored 50 goals in a 100 games we wouldn't be in this bloody mess. The git. That's not what I meant and you know it. I do. I was being facetious, I apologise. However, the fact of the matter is that Taylor scored bags of goals for us over the past two seasons and that, combined with the fact that he was only given the security of a two year contract, is why there is a question mark over where his future lies. I actually don't mind that he's taking as long as he is to make up his mind - personally I can imagine how difficult it must be to make what could be a lifetime defining choice - because I feel that Taylor has repaid the faith that Rovers showed in him tenfold. I don't know what is going on, I don't know the ins and the outs of the reasons behind why MT is taking so long to make up his mind, but in my mind I would rather think that he's torn between wanting to stay at a club that he likes, with people that he loves or the chance to pick up a considerably larger pay packet for the latter part of his footballing career - and surely we can all agree that this would be an immensely difficult decision to make. On top of that we don't know what Taylor has lined up for when he finishes playing football, maybe nothing yet, and maybe he's only now starting to realise that his career is finite and that even if he picks up £4000 a week for the next three years that's only the equivalent of £25000 a year until he's 50-odd. We're not talking sorted for life here. The saving grace here is that we don't have an O'Toole situation where we are pinning all our hopes on this one signing. We have Darrell Clarke in charge and we know he's no mug. Clarke's handled the situation pretty much perfectly as far as I'm concerned, he's told Taylor that the offer is there and that it won't be there forever and I would bet my left nadger on the fact that he's looking at other targets. The question is will those targets offer the goal scoring returns that Taylor has? Maybe, maybe not, maybe they'll prove to be better in the long run; who knows? What I know is that Taylor has been part of a history defining era and has been an integral part of a squad that have given us "our Rovers back" and for my money that earns him the benefit of the doubt. A decision will be made at some point and at the end of the day it's up to DC to ensure that if Matty decides to move on then there is a contingency plan. As fans we are impatient because I think, in truth, the vast majority of us would be very disappointed to lose MT but I don't think that gives us the right to lambast the guy for not making a decision in the time frame in which we deem to be suitable - especially when we really know so little about his options - as those parameters are set by people with far more insight than us. But that's just my opinion.

"Matty didn't think it was right to come in and train with us while all the speculation continues." Speculation because of him. Exactly. If he hadn't have been so selfish and not scored 50 goals in a 100 games we wouldn't be in this bloody mess. The git.

In reality, he'd only be at training today if he's finalised a new contract with the club. As it stands (unless something has happened which has not been announced), MT is currently unemployed; hence you would not expect him to be at training today. Hopefully he will still re-sign with the club. All today indicates is that - if he is to do so - he has not done so as yet. Is he unemployed? I thought that if a player's contract expires they remain under the employment of the club until they are released or they sign a contract elsewhere? I could be wrong.
