Pity there isn't a Rovers paper for fans.

I thought my own was bad (check earlier posts) - at least you tried.

That was my idea behind the thread. Stuff the media and the constant 'black manager. At the end of the day JW chose Paul Ince on merit and not because of skin colour. Therefore in my view it would be good if the media (MOTD included) could be embarassed for making the black issue a big thing, by a song from the Rovers supporters. For a while I have believed that there are a number in the media who do not like Rovers (nobody loves us we don't care) for whatever reason. Rovers have been called bully boys, thugs etc - I suppose the next thing wil be Rovers are bottom of the fair play league - but top of the anti-racist league for appointing Paul Ince. There are enough people who visit this board and I am sure that someone on here could put a song together - which, ironically and sadly would be unique to Rovers because of Paul Ince and his colour.

Black or white, We don't give a sh-te, Incey's now Blue 'n white

I think that this may be the only post that will have full agreement.

The media keep banging the drum about Paul Ince being the first black manager in the premiership. I suggest it would be good if rovers supporters could make up a song about it. - especially before the west ham away game - After all in my view it matters not the colour of a man's skin, but can he do the job.

You sound like a man who has never got drunk before and regretted what you were told you did the night before. I do not condone his actions But I also cannot say I have never lost my temper with somebody - and later regretted doing so - also being shocked at my own behaviour. I can never say that i have never made a mistake before. I am not trying to defend Joey Barton - or anybody else who behaves in that way. If we put money and stardome into the hands of young and inmature people, there will always be a loose cannon. The reality is JB can play football - would we like his FOOTBALL TALENT in Rovers side, then of course the answer is yes we would. His behaviour and attitude we would not want. It is possible that this short prison sentence might make him wake up and take a long look at himself, (I believe his brother went to jail also) to the extent he totally changes his way of life, yet retain his football talent.
