Bristol R*vers dustbin thread

[bearded_red]

Unsurprisingly the absolute weapon that manages them is currently being an utter *** about Cotterill on Radio Bristol.

Never sure whether it’s just the dreadful bloke that he is or he’s trying to play up to their fans, but good god.

I’d have to listen to again, but something about how if he coached a team like that he’d rather stay at home on a Saturday afternoon. Then something like ‘how old is he now? in his sixties? And all he knows is playing football like that’.

Then some nonsense about how he’s spoken to Luke Leahy and told him to come back and play for a proper football team.

When he gets over 99 points in League 1 and a Mickey Mouse Cup trophy in the same season he has then earned the right to be Billy Big Bollocks. Until then……

It’s both.

He’s a dreadful bloke who plays up to their fans.

Cotterill won’t give a **** what that scumbag says about him.

I’ve had a word removed from one of my posts a mod has told me as there’s been complaints. It a derogatory term apparently . It’s used to describe a Irish person of the travelling community. I’ve no problem with the mods removing it per se. However, if anyone reading this was one of the people to complain , then at least have the gumption to complain to me. Also if you’re offended by such a word then you need to have a good look in the mirror.  

And yet they let Robbored keep his aviator.... double standards.... but then again he is the protected one.....

That’s an unfair comparison Graham,

Perhaps he’s one of those where when they are your manager you love him but my word what a patronising t***er he is. Would love to hear Cotterills response. 

I know who my money would have been on in a fight (when they were both in their prime), Cotts would have taken him apart, unless, of course Joey bag was carrying a good old scouse shiv !

So last week the opposition coaches had no experience and don't understand the modern game, this week the coach is too experienced to understand the modern game?

I wonder what will happen if they meet a team with a Manager in that sweet spot in between?

Steve Cotterill condemns crowd abuse after Shrewsbury draw at Bristol Rovers

by CaseyAugust 27, 2022

Shrewsbury manager Steve Cotterill has condemned the Bristol Rovers fans who subjected him to a torrent of vile abuse following the 1-1 draw at Memorial Ground.

The former Bristol City manager was heading to the touchline for his post-match interview duties when home fans in the stands stopped him in his tracks and attacked him with a series of four-letter words.

A fan also yelled “I wish you were dead” at Cotterill, who had a brush with death during a lengthy battle with Covid-19 last season.

Cotterill was involved in a verbal confrontation with the small group of middle-aged men remaining in the stands before a fellow Rovers fan silenced them as children milled about on the ground.

“I came back here as a former Bristol city manager who has been successful and still has a home in the city,” said Cotterill.

“Such abuse is not acceptable, but I have a lot of good friends who are ardent Rovers fans.

“There are some people who decide that they want to have something to say, but I don’t know what you can do about it. You have to take it.

“They’re far enough away from you, but there are a lot of people who are brave when they’re 20 or 30 feet away.

“The administration was pretty good and another guy told them to shut up, but unfortunately this happens in football. Fortunately, it is an isolated incident.”

 

It spoiled a thrilling finish in which Shrewsbury striker Ryan Bowman played the role of super substitute to perfection to salvage a point for the visitors with an 80th-minute strike from close range.

He scored after his replacement partner Ryan Loft put Rovers ahead in the 68th minute, just seven minutes after entering the fray, after excellent help from striker Aaron Collins.

Cotterill was disappointed that his return to the West Country only yielded a draw, stating: “I’m really pleased with the way we applied ourselves in what is an unforgiving place, but we had something like 20 goal attempts so I’m not satisfied with one point.”

Rovers manager Joey Barton later criticized Cotterill after he was asked about a series of game-interrupting stoppages, much to the former Newcastle player’s frustration.

Barton said: “It was a game they established their spot early and gave us the ultimate compliment by playing five at the back but we’re gutted we haven’t taken maximum points.

“Stops are part of their strategy. Steve has been training for a long time, but I’m not sure he would go out on a Saturday afternoon if that was what he was training for.

“I would stay home to see Liverpool win 9-0. I don’t get it. Is that what you’ve been taught in the game? But we have to find solutions.

“We are not a fluid team like Barcelona, so it will be difficult when teams camp in their own half and don’t show much ambition.

“I take it as a compliment that they were afraid of us. If I were the manager of an established League One team against a newly promoted team like us, I’d say ‘let’s play them’.

“That’s probably why they’ve only won six in 20-something and they won’t win many points for style.

“And the players won’t want to play like that. They want to play football.”

Cotts doesn’t put his wife on the floor and kick her in the head though.

Yes joey, Steve should stay at home, after all what has he ever won compared to you? A mere 20 efforts on goal away from home suggests that maybe Steve had coached his team rather better than you coached your rabble.

It’s nothing personal . I’ve happily conversed with you plenty of times & you generally post sensible debate or banter. I just couldn’t get my head around why anybody especially a woman would back Barton . You’re more than welcome on here. Apologies if it came across angry or aggressive.
