Did he hang around long enough to do one ? 
Looks like he off to the coach trying to beat the traffic .

He probably had to report to Accrington police station by 5 o`clock as a condition of his bail.

The Peoples Club………..missing a few people.

[Port Said Red]

I heard the interview, where once again he basically said that Accrington played the wrong kind of football and that there was a clear handball in the lead up to the goal. He then said that the referee had shown him the rulebook after the game to prove that accidental handball by a player other than the goalscorer was not an offence. He then said he's off now so he can't be held accountable, I mean how dare the referee want to get home after a game.

He also said that he had told the referee that his players might as well knock the ball around by hand, if that was the rule. Completely missing the "accidental" part of the rule.

I then watched the highlights, neither goal could be described as "route 1" and the handball was indeed accidental and via the players thigh. Joe wandering off before the end didn't make it to the interview surprisingly.

You’ve got to hand it to Joseph in one way. He’s come in and worked the Fewers fanbase right out from the get go. A bit of bullshit here and bluster there and they are literally on their backs begging for him to tickle their tummies. Exactly the same with his Employers.

Gorringe was the one who came out with the Peoples Club bollocks but does anyone believe for a second it didn’t originate from “Evertonian” Barton? The fact is the Few lap up this “romantic” fiction……it’s what they do and always have done, aided and abetted by the local media in Bristol.

As for the Boca Juniors comparison………..that in itself will ensure this thread reaches 10k pages. Unreal and astounding bullshit that, again, will be lapped up.

There are establishments on Whiteladies Road that charge you £90 to be abused and it only lasts for half an hour.

If the "rule book" supported the decision, it doesn't sound like too much of an "error".

Quick question - if Rovers are such a tinpot club, why do we spend so much time discussing them. including their most recent game with Accrington? Over 3000 pages is a little embarrassing TBH. 

If we were genuinely massive, as our players and fans used to claim ad nauseam, we would have bigger things to worry about.

Just saying. 

 

Poor effort.  3/10

Because it’s funny….

Put it this way. If you lived next door to an arrogant arse who thought he was somehow the most fantastic man in the world but publicly (metaphorically) shit himself regularly then wouldn’t you revel in his comeuppance?

I didn't grow up in Bristol and so never experienced the daily banter at school that most of you did. I just find this thread funny and it cheers me up on a daily basis.

If you need to ask the question then I can only guess that either:

a) you're too young to have experienced the true Derby days

b) Football is lost on you

Just seen they lost a CB before the game as he’s been sent to Barnsley on loan instead, their banter knows no bounds. But apparently it’s fine because they were trying to replace him anyway, even though Twitter is awash with them pleading for about 5 CBs

Oh dear. 

Was that your effort? 

We spend so much time laughing at Rovers BECAUSE they’re such a tinpot club.

Its not our fault if they/you hand us the ammo on such a regular basis

I’m guessing that Mark Ashton is your hero? 15’er alert!

[TheReds]

What was with Saint Joey walking off before the end of the match yesterday? Is it another "look at me" type action from him? Seems very bizarre, selfish and a bit disrespectful to everyone involved, but there doesn't seem to be any outrage for it (no questions from the interviewer after either, was he scared to ask)?

My answer to that is simple. Because they are based in the same city and virtually all of us know Gasheads who are very vocal whenever they think they have something to criticise us over.

It's called banter, and it's an essential part of football culture and has always existed.

We have less interest in the antics of clubs of similar size to Rovers:  Peterborough, Northampton, Lincoln, Notts County etc, because they are geographically removed, not part of an ongoing rivalry and - let's face it - less of a laughing stock than the Boca Infants of League One.

Look son, it's not that we worry about them. It's  just that when we have the occasional down day, you can turn to this thread and immediately feel so much better. They could be moved to the written or visual joke pages or we could start a football "joke club" page. But it's easy to access where it is and it is actually funnier than the joke page. Hope that explains it to you in simple terms. Now go and colour in your Joe Barton picture book. 

[Open End Numb Legs]

Looking at yesterdays game, that is the sort of fixture you really need to win if you have ambitions to reach the play offs. No disrespect to AS, just based on respective league positions this far into the season.

Probably why JB went walkabout. At least the AS manager didn't have to walk down the tunnel with him at full time.
