Bristol Rovers (h) Match Thread on 11:53 - May 1 by dingdangblue
Some bizarre comments from Barton on here. Didn't like Dale players time wasting and trying to get players sent off? He also thought they had more away fans than home fans?
Not that it matters, but did they have more support than us, what was the attendance of away and total attendance?
It was an enjoyable game, especially for an end of season game , apart from the result.
I personally have no issues regarding celebrations of players or coaching staff etc especially after they achieved such an excellent comeback, for them, and secured a win that could help them achieve promotion. I would expect any team in that situation to celebrate in that way, be strange not too. Yes Barton is a t*at but can't really have a go at him for celebrating his team doing that comeback.
Edit. yes strange comments about our players being over physical, in fact so bloody wrong and full of hypocrisy

Cheers. I knew there was an excellent following from Bristol Rovers, but didn't think there were more than around 2000, so again Barton talking through his arse, unless he's terrible with maths as well as being a thug.

They weren't relegated until the final day of that season when they lost at home to Mansfield.
Bit like their over-exuberant celebrations yesterday then - i remember walking away from their ground with their lot with long faces going "we're down" whilst trying to hide the huge grin on mine!
Didn’t our players have to wrestle the ball off Barton, as he tried to prevent us taking a quick throw in, near the end of the game? More evidence of his forked tongue.
The worm of time turns not for the cuckoo of circumstance.

He's a tw#t, however can't blame them for their celebrating.
Good to see the BBC managing to get things right and awarding a hat-trick and winning goal to a player that didnt score the winning goal or get a hat-trick The scoreline say Anderson scored in the 90+5 minute but the match report says " Hat-trick hero Aaron Collins snatched a late winner as promotion-chasing Bristol Rovers twice overturned a two-goal deficit to beat Rochdale 4-3 and improve their hopes of promotion from League Two". Its wonderful that the BBC expects us all to pay for its world class reportage.

The goalscorer's name for the Match Facts bit will have been sent to a central agency by someone at the ground, before someone else provides the report afterwards.
The error comes about by the report being penned after the event, when it emerged Collins got the final touch. Until this is updated at the central agency, there will be a contradiction.

Thanks, I stand corrected , but still, you would think someone would check before posting the piece. Slack work Casper!

Don't blame Barton or their players or fans for celebrating but there was one member of the Bristol coaching staff (no idea who, don't think it was his assistant) who had no interest in actually celebrating and went straight for Stockdale and the Dale bench having previously got involved for no good reason in an incident involving O'Keeffe near the touchline. It was him who the Dale bench took issue with and as soon as he had sufficiently wound the staff up to respond he dived out the way and hid behind the rest of the bench.
Tangled up in blue.

Can anyone clear up what Coutts did to get sent off? Just watched the highlights and the camera seems to pan in after it has all kicked off.
I could be wrong, as it was difficult to distinguish who was doing what in the general melee, but it looked to me as if Cashman stuck one on one of theirs, who fell to the ground. If he did (and he looked very sheepish as the ref tried to restore order), it must've been an uppercut!
Sorry if I’m posting a bit late but had to race off at the final whistle to Blackpool for a Northern Soul Weekend. I can only most of the positive comments made above. I enjoyed the game immensely even though we lost. We’ve given all the promotion hopefuls except Port Vale a run for their money at Spotland. When COK stuck in the third goal a bloke next to me in the Sandy Lane made the prescient remark that “l think there’s more goals in this one yet” and he wasn’t wrong. I think that the game changed around the half hour mark when Rovers made a tactical substitution and brought on the pantomime villain peroxide blonde. They looked a good time after that. We were really stretched on both flanks after that. Was that a reason for the introduction of White for Clark? Charman and Brierley were excellent. I can only hope that RS was trying to shield him from the tension of a relegation battle before recalling him. He could be a major part of the team next year with an enforcer like Ball alongside him. So pleased to see Charman score as well. The prospect of him and Campbell complementing each other upfront next season gives us something positive to look forward to. As for the fans and celebrations….if we’d pulled a deficit back like we’d probably have been giddy - remember games like Cambridge, MK Dons and Shrewsbury at home over the years? And I remember giving Barton a load of grief at Fleetwood four years ago when we equalised deep into stoppage time. The strange thing was to my mind was that the majority of their fans who were aggressive and animated weren’t teenage kids but grown men, some of whom must have been in their forties.
