If anything I hate him more for pretending to be a nice, normal chap. What a prick.

Would love DC to be here for 10-15 years. If that included a relegation and another two promotions we'd still be a Championship club and infinitely better off than when he took over from John Ward. Managers like DC come along once in a generation or three for a club like Rovers and I would like to think that we'd stick with him even if we took a step backwards (relegation). Not sure if football works like that anymore though.

As said above, this has to be a hugely positive indicator with regards to UWE.

Lol. Harrison has scored more goals that don't count in one game than James has scored in 3 years!! Yeah, so that means Harrison has used all his goals up while James has lots to come, Hugo. Past goals are the ones that don't count.

Harrison is going elsewhere? That's good news. Hope we sign James as I think he'll get as many as EH would and he's a much harder working player. Based on what exactly surely not facts Just a hunch.

Just saying that James was unlucky, and I dont rate Harrison at all. Never mind you won't have to worry about that next season so the question now is who is the player you are going to pick on next season Harrison is going elsewhere? That's good news. Hope we sign James as I think he'll get as many as EH would and he's a much harder working player.

Bradley Fewster, released by Middlesbrough, might be worth considering as one of the striker signings. Described as a "fox in the box", the now 21-year-old, scored 8 goals in 18 starts for a struggling York City side (named L2 Player of the Month for February) during a loan in 15/16 and looked decent. York manager at the time, Jackie McNamara, said: "He's scored some important goals for us and if we create opportunities for the kid, he will score them. It's as simple as that, he's a great finisher." He also has 3 goals in 7 apps for England U17, 5 goals in 3 apps for England U18 and 4 goals in 5 apps for the England U19 side. If Darrell Clarke and Marcus Stewart can unlock some of the potential he has previously showed, he could prove to be a shrewd signing. Are you the artist formerly known as Gashead Wes?

that video sums up the youth of today.... he scores a decent enough goal and then runs off towards the corner flag to celebrate infront of an invisible stadium of fans consisting largely of bushes and brambles.... Yeah, look at those jumped up little primadonna pretty boys celebrating scoring against their local rivals like that. Disgusting.

He rejected a contract offer from Rovers to go and play in Arsenal stiffs on more money. Tells me a lot about his character so a big no from me. Jesus 😂

Do we think this is verbatim? I'm highly sceptical of written interviews, especially in a paper like the Post. It does seem odd on the face of it but could quite easily have been taken out of context. E.g.:
JV: So you're leaving when it's clear you'd have liked to stay, were there any issues between you and the manager?
JE: No, not at all, Darrell was okay but works with a strict budget and for whatever reason decided there are better options elsewhere. Personally I feel I had a lot more to offer Bristol [sic] but he's a young manager and he's had success. I wish him well.
I would imagine Mr Vittles reads this forum so maybe he could let us know.

You're missing the point a bit me thinks. Is there a point? Yes. Money is available that wasn't previously. There is no penalty for not playing EFL Futures eligible players. Thus Rovers are no worse off through the introduction of this scheme and potentially better off if we have young English players come through to play first team football. This isn't about the nationality of Rovers' players, this is about the number of young English players getting game time in the EFL.

Seems a little unfair that there is no benefit for Rovers in developing Welsh players, lets be honest we have had a lot of Welsh youngsters come through our ranks over the years and we are closer to Wales than we are to much of the rest of the England ......Equally why should Newport or Cardiff miss out if they take an English youngster. Why as a football club should BRFC have any interest in the nationality of the young players it produces ? Â So long as the players are good and learn well and can help progress the club . It makes no difference to BRFC where they are from.
Once upon a time the majority of a clubs players came from its locality...over time this changed Now fans sing "he's one of our own" when a rare local player is picked by a club. Over time this will change. Fans will sing "he's one of our own " if the player is even English.
Out of the 134 players at Swansea,Cardiff and Newport. 31 players are Welsh. The majority of which are U23 and academy players. Swansea city have no Welsh players in their first team squad.
With 5 first team squad members being Welsh , BRFC could be said to be the most Welsh professional football team within 100 miles of Cardiff. With only 4 current first team squad members from the south west/west of England. O.Clarke , Lines , Sercombe and Kilgour. Only Lines being from Bristol. More Welsh than West country........
You're missing the point a bit me thinks.

Was phenomenal at Torquay the Conference season. Is probably the limit of his level though sadly.

1 lucky strike ha! WYHHB, wiaww? Cunnington was decent that short while we had him and was far better than the pair of wasters we had in Bradley Goldberg and Alex wall. Did a job and certainly not deserving of the c-word title (unless he diddled your missus or something, in which case you have my sympathies). Wouldn't have him back now though, funnily enough.

any chance our next signing could not be subjected to this pathetic treatment? and maybe the mods will stop it? and all the subsequent follow up comments and another photo. women are not objects. Best part is 9 times out of 10 you can predict exactly who it will be. I like this forum but it certainly shows that there are some proper throwbacks in our fan base. Fortunately they are very much in a minority, although it seems to be quite a vocal one on here at times.
