Buckle Watch

[tufcbrett]

Looks like bucks is on his last chance as such. Pokey is a good signing, top class keeper at this level. I would love him back here when Big Bobby leaves one day.

Also can see Gavin Tomlin heading to rovers aswell as hes avaliable on a free this month.

Gavin Tomlin, we'll have him, surely. He stood out like HMS Invincible at the battle of Waterloo when we played at their place.

Matt.

How he is still in a job after today God only knows. I was reading the BRFC forum the other day and one poster said how sad it would be for Paul and his family if he was out of work for the New Year. My response is if he did his job properly then this wouldn't be an issue. What an absolute clown. Bucks AND the poster!! Basically if you're a football manager and you do shite then you will get the sack. Is this news to this man who wrote this? I simply cannot fathom how Rovers have played three of the worst teams this season in the last three games and lost all three conceding 10 goals. I simply cannot fathom how this man is still in a job.

Does he have any children? that he presumably left behind when he walked out...?

In any case, if he were to get sacked he'd be entitled to payment of his contract, so financially he'll be fine; I think this is the reason that Rovers haven't pulled the trigger yet - they're still paying Penney and Trollope i think.

[Southampton Gull]

He does have children, but I think we should leave them well out of this.

I've heard that Buckle is keen to go to the States with his Becks, thought he was a Shandy drinker myself

I know that Statistics can be a bit boring but at one point this evening there were 1,502 on here, the highest ever.

The previous record of 700 odd set in November was surpassed on Saturday with 1200 and now 1500+

if nothing else, this should indicate to the Board the extent of concern over our current 'situation'.

Plenty of us getting very worried it seems.

.....or it could be all of the Gulls, City fans and others taking a look to have a good old-fashioned chortle.

My thoughts exactly. I was on there at one point and it said that 150 odd guests were viewing the forum, i thought of my fellow gulls also having a laugh at Buckle's demise! =D

Some Stevenage fans are suggesting Paul Buckle as their new manager, saying he did an excellent job at Torquay, went wrong at Bristol Rovers, but could do a job for them at Stevenage; he has family in Hertfordshire. Funny old game, as they say..

[Southampton Gull]

I can just envisage the influx of Stevenage fans now, claiming he will do well at their bigger club..............

[northyorkshiregull]

I have heard that he is off to a usa club to have a look.One of his friends is the manager.something earthquake is the club.That said he is from Stevenage so you never know

[Southampton Gull]

San Jose Earthquakes..........

[AustrianAndyGull]

He wouldn't last two minutes in the States. That's why Verne Troyer came to England!

Frank Yallop is the Earthquakes' manager. Don't think they ever played together, though - Yallop spent his time in England with Ipswich.

I'll see what I can find out..

Actually, thinking about it; if the suggestion is that his lady might be working here, then San Jose makes no sense; ESPN's studio is in Bristol, CT (not far from) which is on entirely the wrong side of the country.

[Southampton Gull]

Perhaps she's ambitious....................
