Hugo, you're a mod and you're forever banning people, so I'll type slowly so you don't get confused...it was nothing to do with Barton. Again, slowly...I'm glad he's gone and wish Taylor was gone too. Clear enough? UTFG 🏴☠️ I don't ban people, they ban themselves. If you could be a little more patronising that would be good, and possibly indulge me with what you mean when you say "we've got our Rovers back" in relation to Taylor. As for Taylor Out, I'm not sure if I agree or disagree with you on that, but obviously you've watched a lot more games than I have this season. I think Taylor inherited a lot of problems that were out of his control but I also watch how he sets us up and makes substitutions and wonder what on earth he is doing. I'm not fully Taylor out, but I'm leaning that way because he really hasn't helped himself.

Just because Taylor is doing poorly, that doesn't mean it wasn't right to sack Barton. I'm still glad he's gone and once there has been a clear out of the fantastic top 8 squad he assembled then we will be a lot better off. You're a mod, so...OK then. Who the heck mentioned Barton? Not me. He was sacked rightly. Taylor is dogshit. What does me being a mod have to do with anything? You didn't mention Barton explicitly, but the "we've got our Rovers back" mantra that you have used several times sarcasticly in reference to Taylor certainly implies a reference to Barton.

In the last 18 league games, we have gained a whopping 23 points. We've scored 18 goals and conceded 37.* Thank goodness we "have our Rovers back" as it would be terrible otherwise. Taylor out and UTFG. 🏴☠️ *Stats provided by the one non drinker in our group of 10, who've been here (Manchester) since yesterday. It's still freezing. Just because Taylor is doing poorly, that doesn't mean it wasn't right to sack Barton. I'm still glad he's gone and once there has been a clear out of the fantastic top 8 squad he assembled then we will be a lot better off.

Are you unable to attend a function where drinks are served without head butting someone? To be fair, I've only ever escaped a works do with free booze twice without making a tit of myself... What, by assaulting someone?

Handed out one too many forum bans some were saying. Others said he had it coming. I couldn't possibly comment. 😆 The two are not mutually exclusive. 😉

I don’t think you were. I can’t find anything to support that. Try clearing your cache and logging back in under your original account. This usually works. Its a known regular occurrence for some on here and is an issue with Proboards. You've not been banned.

Can people please be a bit less abusive to other posters.
Gasdust has had a lot of unfair abuse on this thread and it's unnecessary.

I want to stop people being racist and homophobic. I'm sure that we all do. I think that what MSM is saying, is that it needs to go deeper than just telling them that they are not allowed to say those things. It probably does, but not saying those things is a good start 😉

I disagree It very much did work, but what people laughed at was very much generational. My grandfather was born in 1887 and laughed with the character not at him. My own father, a racist dickhead (born 1930) also with, not at. A lot of us laughed at. And argued with the National Front in the 1970s I think you are being a twat - People are entititled to their own views. You and I were not arounfdi in the 30's so have no idea of the feelings at that time. It is better to try and undersatand why people thing as they do rather than act supperior with your own comfertablke life feelings. And before you get all Woke on me - I'm 58, half Polish with grandparents that died in Camps in WW2 so obiviuley not racist - You should have had a chat with your Dad and understood why rather than acting so rightous I think someone else picked this up already, but I agree with them that you don't need to qualify your statement of "I'm not racist". It needs no justification whatsoever and should be the baaic standard of any decent human being, which Im sure you are. Adding additional information is often used by bigots who say things like "I can't be racist, I have a black friend" while they continue to be racist twats. A good example would be my father, who is a vile racist and misogynist despite having a Philippino wife, 2 mixed race children and 2 daughters.

How many throw ins in the opposition half have we thrown backwards to our back 4 this season?
Surely we could be more positive now and again?

It was working before Gorringe outsourced it. If its not broke, don't break it. How was it working? How wasn't it?

Why? That's like saying if I stick my arm in a lions mouth I should blame the lion when he bites me. Everyone knows Ticketmaster are both incompetent and a rip off. Gorringe should never have even entertained using them. Who would you recommend for an online ticketing service and data system? It was working before Gorringe outsourced it. If its not broke, don't break it.

He is responsible for outsourcing to Ticketmaster. F**k him. Shouldn't you be directing your ire at Ticketmaster? Why?

Buying and selling players like Conteh is the only model that makes sense. Assuming we can sell him at a profit, Connolly, McCormick and Taylor all looked similar good signings but we probably couldn't sell any of them at present not for a profit anyway. We're certainly not going to sell players we spend all this season struggling for several in L1. It's neither an exact science, nor an over night fix but it's the only way we are going to lose less money each year. We don't generate any non match day revenue so player sales and owners deep pockets are the only thing keeping us going.

The original 'gluten for punishment' post has disappeared, thus making all the witty bread gags totally redundant ☹️ That's all we kneaded.

Scoring will be a achievement for us What’s that? An achievement is doing something well or successfully. I don't know what scoring is.
