I wasn’t aware. That’s just basics then. Should’ve been all over the statement one way or the other. Poor statement taking.

It was a joke based around the confusion about which Johnson I was referring to!

I ******* hate Johnson. This is football chat right?

Yep. We’re gonna need to bowl out the Aussie’s pretty cheaply with only 147 on the board. But isn’t he injured?

Jesus. I was content selling him for 850k!

And we’ve ended up with such dross!

Pack was 4m? I’ll have what you’re having. Pretty sure he was 850k. Edit: I’ve just read the Bristol post article which is Probably your source material… I’m afraid I just cannot accept that anyone has paid 4m for Pack?! That’s insane.

2m wasn’t he?

Seen gaschat? The refs fault! ???

Cook is a good manager.

Oh I don’t need to know about the unpredictable nature of a jury! admittedly we haven’t heard all the evidence the jury did, but everything stacked up nicely and for me, it looked a near certainty - but again that was based on what the press reported. I’d like to see the footage the shows Barton and Stendel into the tunnel and shaking of said tunnel afterwards. That’d be interesting.

Sorry… are we all missing the bloke who said he saw him do it?

Genuinely didn’t see that one coming. Suppose Barton reaping the benefits of paying a QC the big bucks.

That shirt screams Greg Goodridge. (I think?!)

? To be fair, might as well go all out for Pep.

I can definitely recommend falling asleep for the last twenty minutes. You don’t have to live through them then. Three points. Excellent.

Great to read we’re having chances.

Did we do the applause for Arthur?

This is as bad a case as we’ve had to deal with. Awful stuff. Murders don’t generally effect me. I struggle with this one. RIP Arthur. And may his step mum and father ******* rot in hell.

Well, one person saw the push but a few others have referenced the animosity at the final whistle is my understanding. It’s much harder to say something didn’t happen when it’s seen by several people - it makes you look like a liar. Which then leads onto the tunnel incident which was seen by fewer people. It’d almost sound more genuine if he had accepted the first part.

Very very brave (stupid) defence being mounted by Joey. Says there was no form of aggression at all at the final whistle. It is incredibly brave! So brave in fact, I’m struggling to believe it! https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/bristol-rovers-manager-joey-barton-6294079?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

Well… a precedent has now been set that a game will be stopped in such a scenario. That means it must be highlighted. I imagine they used to just crack on with it.

I wonder if it did happen, but coverage of it is much more common now?

To understand how massively underrated Fielding was here you just have to look at some of the rubbish that’s written on these very pages about Bentley. Both good Championship keepers. Fielding won us far more points than he lost. But here on otib we love going for the keepers throat.
