Oh there is no doubt in my mind that he did it and he should, indeed, face charges. But if she lies on the stand to try and get him off then surely it could be her ending up being prosecuted...? Your nauseating continual whinge about Joey knows no bounds; you would cack yourself if you ever met him, time to wind it in surely. n.b. JB is no longer the manager, you have got your Rovers back. Let's all celebrate the unhinged, out of control person with anger issues. Yay!

Wish him well. If he can learn from the experience and become a good manager, would absolutely have him back. Some would suggest you lock up your daughters mind.

Good luck today Azza. Will be cheering you on and hope to see you bag the winner. Hope there is some money coming our way if that happens too Absolutely. I get the feeling we will need those 3 points at Oxford next season...

When the bookies have us already down amongst the bottom rungs then we will need to splash out to convince anyone of note to join the field of dreams for the coming season. It looks like sky bet has us at 12-1. We were 10-1 last August: www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-rovers-league-one-odds-8648121.ampTo be honest, considering the number of players that have left/been sent back to their clubs this season only a 2 point adverse shift in odds is a pretty good start.

Why is there very little good to say about the owners? Perhaps because they know nothing about football and yet are trying to run the thing both on and off the pitch. So far what have they brought us? Slightly bigger stadium with more seats but reduced the crowds significantly by dropping the standard of the football watched and pretty well cut our chances of attacking by selling Collins and not replacing him- that alone makes me doubt their intentions. If they sell Evans that will give them a substantial bit of their money back. Remember as well that Wael brought them in because he could not afford to take us forward. I am yet to be convinced that this new lot wont take us backwards reducing the budget can only lead to tears and if they think you can get to the Championship with lower paid players then pull the other leg. Look at the teams who go up and generally their budget is well above ours.Has Matty Taylor got a son? Perhaps if he has he should bring him in to select the team because that is what the owner has done. A toy for his son but when will he throw the toys out of the pram? I think they are looking for a quick return on the club. My analogy is, there are two types of property developers: 1) They buy a property, give it a repaint a new bathroom and kitchen then sell it. 2) They buy a property, redesign the way it is being used. Knock some walls down, build extensions and then sell it. We have the first lot. They just want to redecorate and sell at a profit. My concern is that talk is cheap. I wouldn't be surprised if they just end up selling the quarters land for a profit and then removing themselves from the club. I have seen nothing that suggests they have the funds to take us forward, just a link of paint and then sell on.

On one of MT interviews, he did say that we would find out about what was happening in the summer.
Maybe this is it, what if they tried to renegotiate all contracts?
It certainly would explain the drop in form and players not looking that interested.

I thought VAR was brought in to get rid of howlers made by the officials. For example, a player clearly a yard offside, being missed by the lino, refs missing a blatant handball or bad foul. Unfortunately, too much scrutiny is involved- when a player is judged to be millimetres offside, it’s assuming the player playing the ball forward, is the exact moment the ball moved, this could be millimetres out too, therefore, no howler has happened & the margin of error should be with the officials, but of course the lawmakers then say to the lino, even if you think it’s offside, don’t flag just incase you’re wrong & the player goes on to score. You then have hand balls & fouls in the box, that takes 5 mins or more to conclude, one week it’s a pen, the next it’s not. The TV companies don’t help either by having 15 different pundits giving their opinions & endlessly rerunning incidents, spending 5 mins on the actual football. I know we are quick to moan about refs at our level, but that’s been the same for donkeys years. IMO the best way forward is to have all professional officials in the top 4 leagues & do away with VAR. it might take time, but should result in better decisions & more respect from all. Maybe follow the Australian approach and have multiple referees on the pitch?

A toe being offside is still offside. I hear this point of view often about VAR. I don't understand it. Why make something subjective, when we can have an absolute answer to within a very small measure of inaccuracy? The binary laws of the game are fine. No one minds goal line technology & if they automated offsides I'd be for it. The argument against the current offside set up is when does the ball leave the foot? Do we have enough frames? If we're going down to midges dick levels that needs sorting. Absolutely. Isn't it on first contact with the ball? I have seen some online videos, where they have taken that concept to the extreme. The player doing a balancing trick and then flicking the ball to a player in an 'offside' position but not actually against the rules.

To me, that is exactly the issue that needs to be stamped out. Things shouldn't be open to interpretation. One refs view of a situation being deliberate can be different to another refs interpretation of the same incident. The rules shouldn't have any scope for interpretation. For example, the offside rule is a simple yes or no, just need everyone to agree what part of the body it is measured from. I am one of the few that thinks VAR has been good for the game, it has made corrected wrong decisions more times than it has created bad decisions. How though? Are you saying that all contact between the ball and the hand should be a foul? That's the only thing not open to interpretation in hand ball - the contact. Actually, yes (and no). I would make the rule something like within a 1.5m radius of where the ball was struck, any ball to hand (sounds a bit rude) is not an offence, however hand to ball movement (regardless of natural or unnatural) would be. Outside that radius, it would be an offence regardless of position of hand. Only two exceptions of Self defence when the player is protecting their head or privates. That should allow technology to decide within seconds if it is a free kick or not.

What a minefield! just think IF ! would England have won the world cup in 66 with goal line tech? we would certainly have benefited re 'hand of god, Lampard's goal etc with var BUT a toe being offside, ball being smashed against hand decisions etc are a nonsense are they not, as others have said the problem arises with operator interpretation, human error , this is no different than refs and lineman occasionally getting it wrong so on balance i would scrap as it has a very negative impact on the fans enjoyment. A big difference in football of course compared to many other sports is the attitude and conduct of the participants, professional footballers are basically cheats , are encouraged to cheat, and will use every trick in the book to gain an advantage, all of does nothing to help the officials make the right decision. A toe being offside is still offside. I hear this point of view often about VAR. I don't understand it.

In my day as a Ref,handball was clear cut and simply had to be deliberate.Nowadays no-one seems to really know what constitutes a handball offence.Just wish we would stop complicating things. To me, that is exactly the issue that needs to be stamped out. Things shouldn't be open to interpretation. One refs view of a situation being deliberate can be different to another refs interpretation of the same incident. The rules shouldn't have any scope for interpretation.

I was suggesting that they can look at the replays on iFollow to help them explain in more detail things are are harder to see in real time. For example, being able to give a clearer explanation about a penalty shout to the audience. TV commentators do this all the time. not for 1500 ko in uk, they would not have access. Did the 15:00 Saturday afternoon blackout get removed at some point this season? Didn't Sky show a League 2 game at 15:00 on the final day of the season?

I will happy speak to the people that donated. They just need to DM me. I am only accountable to those that donated. I invite scrutiny from those that donated. In other words, you raised nothing, the whole thing was a sham. Embarrassing. I have a different definition of Embarrassing, so yesterday I was clearly on your mind. You started on this topic at about 7am yesterday morning and posted at least 4 times about it through the day. #embarrassing I felt that you had no rights to the information as I set up the go fund me as a response to users and their faux disgust at the situation. You being one of them. You questioned me then as well as now. Yesterday you got me thinking "blimey am I that big a part of the community that I have my very own stalker?". The bit that annoyed me about the whole faux annoyance was that nobody had mentioned disabled supporters up to the point that I had. Looking at other socials, it was clear to me that this section did actually need a 'voice'. I asked you to tell me when you donated, knowing full well that you hadn't. There were 4 people (including me) that gifted. When the club announced that there would be no fees for disabled supporters, I completed a form through gofundme and refunded all. It takes 7 - 10 business days, I received mine yesterday. Those (if they are members of the forum) can reach out and I will chase it up for them.

I wasn't asking you to donate. I was asking you to tell me when you donated and the amount. I can then cross reference it and speak to you about where the funds have been used. Still don’t understand why a public fundraiser won’t share how much they’ve raised or even allow anyone to donate? Let alone know where the raised money ended up. Pretty dodgy looking to me. I will happy speak to the people that donated. They just need to DM me. I am only accountable to those that donated. I invite scrutiny from those that donated.

Problem is, you have no evidence that conversation took place. Email Pete. Sounds like he will give you a refund. So the club are willing to refund fans, hundreds just because they won't give them a piece of plastic costing pence. Now that really is great business sense. So fans are really going to turn their back on the club, just because an e-ticket is required?

All very well catering to people with no smart phones or email addresses, but what about me? The club sent me a cheque for £15 for a pirates pot "win". What the hell am I supposed to do with that. A cheque? Is is 1982? Whats wrong with PayPal I feel the need to point out you can bank cheques with Smart Phones now... 🤣

I'm not sure why you can't see it. Did you donate? If you DM me with your donation details, I'll happily tell you how much was donated and the people that will get a card next season. Why should anyone have to DM you to donate? that’s what the GoFundMe fundraiser is for. BTW it says the fundraiser has disabled donations, I think you need to explain, is it fundraising for people? How much have you raised? And who are these people “you have identified, who can now have cards” as you claim? I wasn't asking you to donate. I was asking you to tell me when you donated and the amount. I can then cross reference it and speak to you about where the funds have been used.

As a "normal" fan with no smart phone and no email address how does the club propose to issue my season "ticket". Will I be "forced to purchase the card for £15? If the tix was emailed to a friend can it be printed off and scanned at the ticket booth? With no computer and no email address, you are definitely not 'normal', maybe a bit 'special'?
