read and seen picture that he had the nerve to appear in the family stand last night.

did he get any stick off the crowd?? i'd have liked to thought that there would have been a few chants directed his way. and i really really hope that he gets it for 90 minutes at the mem

i think the best response would not so much to direct anything at him, but to get right behind ling, and chant his name. i can't remember buckle EVER getting that - certainly not from me anyway !!

There was a brief reference (non-complimentary) to his presence in the first-half, but couldn’t hear in the second. Best chant was definitely “You’re so shit you must be Exeter. That raised a chuckle. Worryingly, it sounded like a small group attempted to get that nonsense that Stevenage were mumbling at the Play-Off Final, started. Please don’t let that take on.

Agree with Regiment, when we visit the Mem, we should unite in support for Ling. Buckle’s ego will take a bruise if we don’t acknowledge him.

yr prob right mate, dont even give that weasel the time of day

maybe someone can write a song that both slags him off and gives praise to the glory that is certain to be martin lings! along the lines of 'who needs mourinho we've got our physio!!'

Couple of 8 year olds in the family stand gave him abit of stick :L

Shame I didn't know before the game really, I would've come all the way down and petrol bombed him.

And that was because he's not been paying their Mum the right amount of Child Support........he'd told the Social that he was manager of Torquay United when really he'd been the Rovers manager for most of the year.

He was sat directly behind me and there were various cry's of 'Judas' and 'F*** off back to Bristol'. He went in the Match Sponsors lounge during half-time and word started to spread he was at the game, in all honesty nobody really had a lot to say to him and he was in the lounge with his son on his own and nobody even spoke to him. I have to agree that the best way to upset him is not to acknowledge him and get right behind Martin Ling. I am all in favour of someone coming up with a decent chant that berates Buckle and supports Ling. He only watched the first 20 mins of the second half and then slipped away! - Can only presume he has heard the results and wanted to see how this could be possible as surely he was the best manager Torquay ever had - yeah, right. Not so confident now are you. Can't wait for the BR game away!

I imagine he went away thinking, who is that Lloyd Macklin character? Ling’s was lucky to get hold of him, if only he’d been here when I was around – he could do a job at left-back. Joe Oastler at Right-back, ha the fool, everyone knows he’s a midfielder. Lee Mansell in midfield? I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous. I told him he was a right-back, and a right-back he should be. As for Billy Kee, he won’t be a striker as long as there’s balti in his pie, get him out on the wing. This Martin Ling is clueless. What this club needs is me. But I’ve got too much ambition…

The thing is Shane,joking aside he probaly did go away thinking that ,was saying at the game last night,wonder if Buckle is wathcing Macklin and thinking only if i had given him a chance.

As for abuse there was afair bit coming from the group i was stood with down by the away end,however probaly to far away to be heard,the best way is a long loud chant of Martin Ling's yellow army,Buckle never got that.

Lots of chants for Ling which was great and a few aimed at Buckle as well. He came to see if playing players in their natural positions does actually work. Macklin was on fire last night, I hope brucie didn't go or else he'd have to admit the lad can play, just as I've said since his brief cameo at Cheltenham. I've been told that Buckle didn't like Macklin at all, another plus as far as I'm concerned

Seems strange he would give a 3 year deal and then half the time not even put him on the bench?

Another one of Buckle wonderful insights no doubt!

Glad Lloyd is finally getting the chance he deserves, I am confident he will take it.

This made me larf!!

I hope he did get the stick his double-crossing warrants.

A game I was really looking forward to was the Rovers game but have booked a holiday so will have to miss it and the one against Crawley. The two games I really wanted us to win.

Note to self - check footy fixtures next time a holiday is booked.

I think a 90 minute chant of 'Martin Lings Yellow Army' would fit the bill at the mem
