Not since May 7 has the Mem roared like this. All that prevented a new chapter from being written in the collection of crazy tales involving Joey Barton's Bristol Rovers was an elusive third goal.
Instead, the Gas had to settle for a point against League One leaders Plymouth Argyle, storming back from 2-0 down, but in the process, they proved a point to themselves. Recent weeks have been hugely encouraging, with Rovers riding a five-match winning streak into the game, but this was the first time this season they were able to roll with the punches and strike blows of their own against one of the division's big hitters.
Finn Azaz and Adam Randell both scored stunning goals, but Rovers nor the crowd were deterred, and a roll of the dice from Barton at half time was swiftly rewarded with substitute Josh Coburn halving the deficit within moments of taking to the pitch.
