So all these players Barton said were the worst he'd ever seen and would never play pro-football again after release from football are all playing higher up the league than Rovers?
Where's SteveK to tell me why that's somehow a good thing?

r Joey says he wouldn't have even looked at Captain Gas while in charge at Fleetwood citing that he's lazy, unprofessional and completely unskilled as a mascot.
Joey is now scratching his head wondering why no one wants to pay a six figure sum to take him off our hands.

Not sure if our new 'Lord of Loans Tommy' has picked up the phone yet - probably still sat muttering and shaking in a corner somewhere !! Not 100% on what the exact situation is, but istm anyone with any integrity would just say f**k this, and resign. Not suggesting TW doesn't have integrity, I just can't imagine what the situation is that enables him to continue to function, dismantling his dream/nightmare team, going against everything he tried to build, while watching the team crash into League 2, while turning into the cloakroom attendant, but still on the board, overseeing the team's demise either as he intended (which would be bad) or against his wishes (which is bad in a different way). Maybe I'm being too harsh, but I don't understand. I expect he's polishing his dustpan and broom for when he has to pick up the pieces. I doubt he's watching Joey's current form and worrying how much longer he can stand to work in the same club.

Surely the way to obtain balance in the absence of emotion is to look at the evidence? Like results for example. Careful...😂😂😂 Libelous?

We were losing 4-0 at half time after a shocking defensive display. We don't need to see things in a balanced light as the second half stats are meaningless in the context of the outcome of the game. It’s a results business, of course. The stats help to give us insight to build on. I’m sure Joey will learn from this. Onwards and upwards. We can win at Barrow and build again. Joey is on the ground breaking bus and will be until the end of October where we can take a more balanced not an emotional view on the way forward. Surely the way to obtain balance in the absence of emotion is to look at the evidence? Like results for example.

Oldie, I agree with you that it shouldn't require a hammering but sometimes it does.The problem with the Mansfield game was it could all be put down to an awful referee and bad luck to go down to 10 men and concede an 96th minute penalty. The Stevenage game it could be looked on that we were still 4 or 5 players short and when we had them back on Tuesday possibly it could be looked on that the corner had been turned.We can but hope now that Saturdays defeat was the rock bottom! Ahh so it was a tactical 4-1 dicking! I knew you'd find an excuse somewhere.

Here's some proper stats. I'm tired of this fuzzy thinking and ridiculous straw clutching that is going on. We want hard facts, indisputable actuality. Here's a celebration from Saturday: What have we got. Jay, and number 20 and number 12. What could this mean, only one thing. J is for John, so John 20:12, which is a clear reference to the bible. If we look up John 20:12 we get "and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot." This is a clear reference to football (heading and kicking, obviously). Who might play in white, Leeds, of course. But let's not get carried way. Shrewsbury Away kit was white when Leon Clarke was there and also the seldom seen Hearts of Midlothian away kit was white when Glen Whelan was there. This is a clear reference to the two prospective players training with us. These stats prove beyond any doubt, I think we can all agree, that our 'saviours' will be Glen Whelan and Leon Clarke. I've practically proven it through the use of stats. I expect Barton probably did have a Brown Jay-Key after 25 minutes on Saturday.

How do you know you don't want to be 4-0 down until you've experienced it? Oh, yeah, maths. Maffs??. Dont come on here getting all smart and quoting maths. Winning the 2nd half 1-0 but losing the game 4-1 is the new definition of winning a game.😂😂😂 Worrying isn't it how remarkably similar the start of this season is to the start of the last one. People claiming that last season's sh**e form can be explained away because the manager hadn't recruited those players (despite another manager having had them performing to a better standard) and then the bizarre interpretation of "stats" to tell us we'd won games that the EFL has recorded us as having drawn or lost.

Total rubbish. None of those examples are capable of being libel. Wrong - I surprised you’ve said that. So you consider that none of those comments are defamatory statements of character - for which you can be sued - fact. Not quite. A defamation claim isn't an action to tell off mean people for saying nasty things about you. Defamation is a tortious act which causes loss to the subject. So the prospects of success would be measured against the liklihood that Joey's reputation would be damaged by those comments to such a degree that he would suffer a measurable loss because of them. The principal defences to a defamation claim are: 1. Fair comment - that it is true; and 2. Opinion - that the speaker thinks it is true. No one is going to see the words "clown" or "loud mouth" written on a football forum and refuse him work as a consequence. There's no damage to his reputation. There's no defamation. Even if there were the defence of opinion is readily available.

A well balanced post Eric which in my opinion sums up the situation quite fairly. I would add that most if not all of the moderating team want Barton out and allow almost any levels of disgusting posts and rants against the manager which in another context would not be tolerated. For example, Repugnant human being Clown, utter clown Gobby, incompetent lunatic Deeply flawed character with an inferiority complex Deluded narcissist Fraud Clueless Clown of a manager All the above from one poster in just 24 hours makes OTIB look positively pleasant by comparison, even when they were on Lee Johnson's back. I'd also just ask that we conduct our criticisms and/or support in a decent manner. I haven’t bothered to read most of RD’s rambling but if the above examples are a true reflection on what he has stated wrt JB I feel he needs to tread very carefully in what he is saying - most, if not all of those comments are libellous. He could find himself in trouble even now - I’m surprised (maybe) that the mods have tolerated these tirades. Total rubbish. None of those examples are capable of being libel.

Don't bother, chap. I'm not interested in entering your faux "debate" to enable you to continue your bullying. I have read the posts carefully thank you and they're a *ing disgrace. Oh and "my man" ... I've never met Roverdrive, know nothing about him outside of posting on here. I don't need to defend anyone. All I'm doing is calling out your crap for what it is. Don't respond please I'm not interested in you trying your bullshit behaviour on me. I don’t know RD either, I also don’t know BidefordGas or for that matter anyone on here let alone their mobile numbers for texts. There is very much a divide among the fanbase. Split between those who never wanted JB in the first place and what him sacked immediately. On the other side you’ve got fans who may or may not have been for the JB appointment but the owner has backed him and these fans see little benefit in sacking JB at this stage. This second category are alternatively know as the JB fan club, those blinded by his celebrity, fanboys, etc….). Whilst most posters have been respectful towards those on the other side of the fence RD has chosen to be provocative and offensive. Perhaps people shouldn’t respond in the raw atmosphere immediately after a heavy defeat but it’s not always that easy. RD tries to make out the negative reaction towards him is simply because he has a different opinion, this is clearly bullshit as nobody else has been ‘singled out’ for having a different view. He’s attracting attention because of his deliberate goading nothing else. GGMI was chucked out for similar winding up and provocative posting but the mods here (presumably because of friendships) have buried their heads in the sand. For this reason it’s probably better to accept this is how the forum works and end this line of debate. I don't really follow what your point is. There's a divide in the fan base because of the manager- so what's new? That's always been true. People werw arguing about Trollope on the old Official Forum, some people gave him the nickname "mogodon" which I didn't really understand and found distasteful. So why is Roverdrive a bully for having an opinion on the manager now? Why is it suddenly taboo? As for the examples GHB has given- what nonsense - Tbone was renowned for calling DC "the clueless one" so why is someone posting similar things about the current manager worthy of being hammered as a bully and calling to be banned? As a side note - I happen to think this ongoing discussion of one poster on public threads is itself a form of bullying. I'd ask that you respond to this via PM if you're minded to do so.

Don't respond please I'm not interested in you trying your bullshit behaviour on me. One word for your post. CRAP! As I now do with RD, I will ignore your posts from now on for what there worth. Thank you. If that helps you to curb your bizarre behaviour heretofore displayed. For what it's worth I generally enjoy your football related input but you seem to have become a bit unnecessarily worked up about a single forum user.

*ing hell! This thread is an absolute state! A total pile on to RoverDrive by 5 or six different members talking about how they're texting each other to call him a w***er and they call him a bully?!?! Sweet sweet irony. Utter *ing disgrace from GHB et al. If you care to read the posts carefully you will see I stated I received a text from someone who was a poster on here and refrained from doing so because of the hassle Roverdrive was causing him. He called him a w**ker and I have to agree. Feel free to continually defend your man, it's quite obvious that more than five or six on here are fed up with his posts and being called bully's by your mate. No wonder he reaps what he sews.

What did people expect him to tell us when he came in? Sorry lads we are definitely going to get relegated!! He probably had every thought that he would run a proper pre season though i suppose he should have known about the effects of Covid. Nah he waited until we had 8 league games left to play (24 points at stake) before talking about his plan for League Two.

No excuses LJG, Why should I make excuses when you are more than capable of droning on and on.Get a life! You've had an excuse for every single other aspect of Barton's crapola so I figured you'd have one prepared for a 4-1 dicking.

Can't wait to hear your excuse for this one, Steve ... IMO the most clueless poster on here. We all have opinions and differing ones at that but clueless !! Sorry again just opinions Me? If you think that's bad don't check the results from the last 23 games or listen to any of the post match interviews.

Exactly. All this "the club is a mess from top to bottom" b****cks is just made up s**t to distract from the fact that the one person who has a very competitive budget in this league and a brand new training ground at his disposal is getting the worst results we've ever seen. Calm my friend. Enjoy your evening. Give a man time. We all know that last years squad was useless. Some are still around. Time is needed. For the positivity guru you come out with some very negative stuff when it suits you. P.S. I happen not to agree - convincing wins against the likes of Lincoln and held our own against Sheffield United says otherwise.

I have not given up hope quite yet. There was a lot of confidence after Oldham. We are rebuilding the club into a professional outfit. Takes time. Ground breaking bus is always ready. To early to throw in towel. How do you know what's really going on at the club? We're we really an unprofessional outfit when DC/GC/BG were all in charge? Exactly.

The boys must be going into training tomorrow as high as a kite, Exeter haven’t scored a goal all season, got a slap at orient last week, and had a long trip home from barrow and are decimated with injuries and covid, and don’t look the play off side of recent times. Rovers are 12/5 with Bet365, who pay out if you go two goals up. I’ve had £100 on, on the basis that I expect the starters to show us an hour of quality as opposed to 45 we saw yesterday, and then to get more of an impact from the fitter bench. UTG. (Blue tinted glasses maybe!) *ing hell. £100!!! You could have had a P?!s up and a takeaway for the family with that!
