myol'man Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Watching that clip I've just realised for the first time, it was John Marquis who scored the goal the saved Northampton that day! Oh the gift!!!!! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WessexPest Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 (edited) 5/3/14 (Sorry, force of habit!) Ah, the memories. I was at my son’s own football match and was doing a jig on the touchline when the FT score was confirmed; the other parents were asking “was that your son who just scored?” To which I replied nope, the Gash had just been relegated to the non-leagues, to universal American perplexity. Little did we know that afternoon the fun was just beginning; the scenes on the pitch at the Pisspoorial afterwards, their pathetic attempts during the summer to get their relegation overturned (“wYCOMBE aRE cHEATS!”), hilarious defeats to such colossi of the game as Altrincham, Bath and Braintree (with their ********* embarrassingly causing trouble at the latter), and meanwhile we lay the ghost of 1990 and - the ultimate bit of trolling - picking up the EFL Trophy while they were out of the EFL. Absolutely, completely, utterly, ruddy marvellous. Edited May 3, 2023 by WessexPest 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcfc01 Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Apparently, the scorer of Shrews first goal was an ex-rovers player. According to Joey Bag, he showed disrespect by goading the blue few after he scored. https://www.bristolpost.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joey-barton-blasts-disrespectful-ex-8407785?int_source=nba The irony - that deluded thug calling someone else disrespectful after all he's said and done. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disrespectful and oversaw a shambles as captain….yet after the game at the Mem earlier in the season, Barton publicly said that he said to Leahy he wanted to re-sign him. Right….. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with this headbanger is that he courts controversy whenever he opens his large mouth. This filters down to the feeble minded bonehead who thinks its fair game to constantly verbal abuse ex players or think its funny to give ex players death threats. Its small wonder that the lemmings follow and do exactly the same. What I find strange is that his employer turns a blind eye to all of this, which in itself is quite revealing. "Family" club, you're having a laugh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Family" club, you're having a laugh. There are ex-City players who'd be booed or jeered (for various reasons) if and when they return to Ashton Gate. Others, like Josh Brownhill, get the respectful welcome of someone who had been a model pro for us - and he of course reciprocated that respect by clapping City fans. But I could never imagine City fans singing songs hoping for the death of one of our ex-players or posting that they want him seriously injured or to fall ill. That level of unpleasantness seems to breed among the swamplike conditions of the Mem, and you are right to note that a disrespectful a-hole like Barton encourages the mentality. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Open End Numb Legs Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 Decided to watch their highlights to check on the goal celebration. I was expecting Leahy to pause facing the Rovers fans and dish out some words but he just turns from the far post, runs past them looking/pointing at them then celebrates with the home crowd adjacent to that end. Something you see every game. I am sometimes critical of goal celebrations being over the top but there is nothing for JB to get upset about. As for disrespectful, coming from him? What can you say? BTW, very good saves from the Shrews keeper 2nd half to keep them ahead, Rovers had the chances. See Joey? Not too difficult to be objective.

I do wonder if he means all of this guff or is just saying it to keep the bestist fans in the solar system on his side . Maybe he knows they love to play the victim and cook up deranged theories as to how the world is plotting against them , so he is playing to that with his rants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtucks Posted May 3, 2023 Report Share Posted May 3, 2023 "Joey Barton said ex-Bristol Rovers captain Luke Leahy was "disrespectful" to his former fans after celebrating in front of the away end during Shrewsbury Town's win at the New Meadow on Tuesday." ......but he has never been "disrespectful" to any of the teams that have been better than his shower this season???

Sam Frost uncritically reports all this shit as well. He is undoubtedly the most biased & sycophantic reporter the Post has ever employed (last night’s HT Tweet was a real gem) “Rovers the better side despite the score line, should have had a couple of penalties, I can see them winning this one”. He’s moving on at season’s end, that’s either because he’s been hired by Kim Jong-Un or he’s finally breaking free of the Merseyside crime syndicate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard Kim Jong Un considered his reporting to be too biased, and therefore likely to lack the level of credibility North Korea looks for in their reporting. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
