Whether the CPS dropped the charges or not is largely irrelevant in so far as it concerns the truth. As I am sure you are aware, the reason the CPS sometimes decide not to prosecute is generally based on whether they consider a conviction is likely and, occasionally, whether proceeding to trial is in the public interest. In the Mason Greenwood case, not only did the main witness, i.e. his girlfriend, refuse to testify, but she was also back living with MG and, indeed, was pregnant with his child - she may now have even given birth. If you have seen and heard the video of the ‘alleged’ assault, I am sure you will be able to judge whether or not MG is the sort of young man you might welcome as a son-in-law.

Not excusing it, (can't, it's indefensible), but if someone has served their sentence, the slate is supposed to be wiped clean. Also, the victim on the Simpson case was saying it was over-hyped, this victim is putting herself through the ordeal of a trial. Not saying Simpson was OK by any stretch, just that this is a different situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's be fair here, I expect that the majority of Rovers' playing and coaching staff have never been in court for assault. The Evening Post should be highlighting the good guys that they have on their books instead of repeatedly focusing upon the many criminals in their employ. I suspect that the BEP sports department is staffed by City fans given how often they keep printing stories about Rovers' players and staff being arrested. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PHILINFRANCE Posted June 25, 2023 Share Posted June 25, 2023 From Swiss Gas, who I am sure is very close to @bert tann. From the newspaper Schweiz am Sonntag “Former Serbian under 21 international Slobodan “ big head” Lob is set to sign for English League 1 side Bristol Rovers. The attacking midfielder who can operate on the far right or far left was released by FC Sins following an incident in a Liga 3 game against Kickers Luzern when he was sent off for stabbing an opponent to death. Sources close to the deal say it will not be affected by Lob’s upcoming appearance before the European Court at The Hague where he is accused of crimes against humility.” 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Fewer (and I have probably mentioned this before), who I used to use the same pub as, was struggling to get his kids interested in following Rovers, they'd watch sport on the telly, but for reasons he had nothing to do with, got in to Basketball. He has taken them to a few Flyers games and reluctantly admitted him, the kids and his wife all really enjoy it. He draws the line at taking them to Ashton Gate for football or Rugby (which I can understand), but the kids just hate going to the Mem. Possibly because it's not a nice environment to watch sport in, but I would hazard that they have been spoilt by looking at tentless stadiums on the telly. Either way, they are showing no interest in going to watch Rovers. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on this and Barton and even as far back as Agogo they come out of it looking pretty effing appalling. The @jbcfc__ twitter account has been finding some absolutely ridiculous tweets from Barton that demonstrate his misogyny is deep routed. I'm fairly confident that if such a man led this club we'd be far more vociferous in our condemnation. I think the response to Danny Simpson showed that and his case was far more nuanced than that of Brown and Barton. The growth of the women's game and female participation in the men's game have been absolutely brilliant for the sport over the last few years. Clubs like Rovers remain a massive hindrance to that progress. Absolutely despise them. Glen Humphries? The sad fact is that society is littered with people who have a propensity towards violence. I suspect every team has had such a player, we just didn't always get to hear about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't taken a hiatus, he is done with the club, his choice obviously- would you do the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All banter aside I’d have serious concerns if this was the way things were going at City. Looking at it without blue-tinted specs it seems like the only way Rovers can mount a serious challenge in League One is to pick up flawed players on the scrounge and put some sort of rehabilitation spin on it. Smacks of a club without a pot to piss in who will sink as low as you can go as long as it’s done on the ‘cheap’. At the same time the lines being fed to the supporters are that the club is on the up, serious about a top 6 challenge and hard to hold back Wael from splashing the cash on players. The fruit market appears to be another non starter and it’s all about trying to find someone else to fund it or lease it for years for free and the only progression appears to be the consultancy that Rovers are ‘talking to’ have paid to assess the site. This is how it appears to me. Just feeding the fans bullshit and then not too far in the distance there is yet more controversial news that reflects negatively on the club. To top it off you keep giving us Ted’s plenty to take the piss out of. Must be uncomfortable to be a Gashead, humiliating and embarrassing. Not surprised that you’ve become disillusioned by it all fella. It’s hard to completely give up on a club once it’s in your blood though. Red or Blue! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's just my City mates then. I was pretty friendly with Mark , AKA 'Divvy' although I never called him that in my life, and he certainly used to use the term and I have seen 'CAF' on tee shirts . Possibly it was something he said and others picked up on it? Anyway, it's a good expression 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS3City Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 So Jailbird Joey and the Merseyside Crime Syndicate are gonna assist with Jevani Brown's rehabilitation (should he be found guilty) are they? Brilliant! In the same vein I'm gonna ask the McCann's to do some babysitting for me, and ask Harold Shipman to keep an eye on a couple of elderly relatives. **** me... 7 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TG happy with Pompey and Barnsley up first. Two possibly three in by Monday as mentioned above... Was very clear that Club are aiming for a top six finish and will be recruiting players that will have the ability to get us there. WAQ is fully supporting financially. He has seen the quality of what has been signed elsewhere we were not in for any of them. Apologies from me to Eddy Jennings - Even on the morning of his wedding he was trying to tie up a new deal and gave himself the challenge of getting the player over the line on his wedding day. Everything on course for the new stand - We should not believe what we read in the media as all things are progressing well. Everything felt a little rushed today but TG was coolest man in the room - we are in very good hands. Also learnt today from an attendee that our highest paid player as things stand is Big JM - by some distance as well. Made me think even more that AC will need parity or will almost certainly move on as his salary was far lower. A few highlighted bits here. Let's see how things unfold then shall we? Why do they just lap it up continuously without question? ******* braindeads the lot of them. Unfolding nicely as predicted (already)...... So far the "Top 6" signings include A has-bean "Ex-Sheed" Someone who threatened to walk when he was last at Rovers A woman beater The new stand is.......not there In very good hands - Everything on the cheap, zero morals, divided fan base, some fans giving up on the club altogether etc...but at least the players have some footballing ability so everything is sweet. When will the penny drop for the rest of you Saggies? The gift! Edited June 26, 2023 by Gert Mare 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open End Numb Legs Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Taking a wider view, things like criminal violence have punishments as a deterrent to stop people doing it in the future. One of those deterrents is limiting employment prospects but in this regard it seems Rovers don't care. If City acted the same I believe I would feel the same. Credit to FP for saying what he has. I am not Bristolian but would stick my neck out and say I reckon there are probably a lot of Rovers fans who feel the same about Joey and some of the other staff. Everyone deserves a 2nd chance but maybe not a 3rd or 4th. There really are things more important than football and Rovers would gain a lot of goodwill by clearing out that bad feeling around the present culture, set an example from the top. It is not as though Barton has them on the verge of the Prem. Re Fordingbridge as a place, I agree with others. Had a great sunny lunch stopover on the way home recently, right on the river. Nice place to live. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute farce. At least you can now see through the bull like we've been seeing (and pointing out on this thread) for years. Yet it's barmy how a lot of Gasheads still believe every single line that they are fed and lap it up continuously? Rovers will never evolve under it's current ownership. It is merely existing hand to mouth from one year to the next. I think there is more chance of Rovers going back to League 2 (and possibly even the conference) than actually having their own ground and having a stable footing.

I suspect every team has had such a player, we just didn't always get to hear about it. I go back a very long time & I’m not sure Humphries was ever charged with anything, though am fully aware of the rumour. I don’t think it can be seen as a one off here (even if it was, as was evidenced by Danny Simpson I’m extremely uncomfortable with it), Barton surrounds himself with these types & it doesn’t take Inspector Morse to work out why. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought I’d drop in to see what was happening, bit quiet in the world of BRFC isn’t it? I’m officially done with this club now and consider myself an ex-supporter. Done with the constant bullshit from the Merseyside Mafia and every decision that’s made being further and further away from the club I grew to love, that used to be a genuine family club (stop laughing). Barton can do what he likes for all I care now, the reaction from a lot of fans shows me they deserve him and his band of merry *****. Rivalry aside I hope you’re all keeping well, and if anyone can help change my profile name from ‘Fordingbridge Pirate’ to ‘Former Pirate’…! Much love, FP Fair enough but times change and you will find that the club you always supported will return in the future. You're just pressing pause on your supporting, and I, as a City fan, have done the same in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
