GrahamC Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Think Barton has brought in 6 new players now, many of them are Scousers & a fair few from Fleetwood or elsewhere in the North. I consider myself a bit of a football anorak at times but I have never heard of any of them. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 Given how utterly miserable ALL their new signings look, do you think there's some kind of mind numbing drug administered before they stand in front of the media, bromide or something?

He says he knows how to get out of L2, and that you need a certain type of player. He'then basically bought a load of ex-fleetwood town players to the party. As well as bit part L2 cast offs. Rather than players that have had been there, and done well in that division. Every year the Gas are just changing over large amounts of frankly awful players. There seems to be no consistency to their approach, and they are obviously hoping that one of them turns into the next JCH. With the market the way it is. Decent players are holding out on numerous offers from other clubs; and will then make a decision. Rovers just appear desperate at the moment, and are probably over paying to get these players in early doors. I bet some of them can't believe the contracts they've been offered. It's all got the feeling of another impending car crash on the horizion there. Edited June 25, 2021 by NcnsBcfc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all got the feeling of another impending car crash on the horizion there. The type of player he is going for is a scoucer or northerner. That’s his thinking. Bloke is clueless but rovers fans can’t see pass that because he has a few Twitter followers and he’s Joey Barton who played in the premiership. Not Joey Barton who was shitter than the other two clowns they had. Then he publicly shamed everything that was wrong at Bristol Rovers to deflect the shit away from himself because he said he would definitely keep them up. He and rovers suit each other.

They are a constant source of ridicule. Their list of comedy gold is just endless.

City oz Posted June 27, 2021 Report Share Posted June 27, 2021 Unfortunately Rovers are part of Bristol Football and always will be, I remember the old days when they played at Eastville and their end then was the tote end. I also recall some derby matches in the 70,s and the interaction and the battels on the pitch and off the pitch. They are a team and club that have always struggled and been second fiddle to the OTIB. And we know amongst us the the club that who is located at BS3 will always be known as the football club associated with the city of Bristol. I know this might seem a bit weird but they are now in League two and those of us old enough that means the old fourth division. they have been there before and dropped down to the Conference around 2013/14 and came good. I was impressed that they have just signed Harvey Soundess and Aaron C. it shows that they are still around and still fighting to maintain quality football in Bristol. They will always exist and we will always take the piss out of them. However not sure how we need to try and show them some resect or not on this forum. After all even though they are blue and dodgy pirates and originally called the black Arabs when they were formed its still good having them around to keep the banter live. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
