There has been no shortage of thrilling second halves at the Mem in recent times and Saturday's 2-2 draw for Bristol Rovers against Fleetwood Town continued that trend.
Much like against League One leaders Plymouth Argyle last month, the Gas roared back after a sub-par first half and had their opponents on the ropes. Against Argyle, Rovers pegged them back to 2-2 amid a raucous atmosphere in BS7 and there were similar scenes at the weekend when Joey Barton's side came from a goal down at the interval to lead 2-1 thanks to goals from Josh Coburn and Aaron Collins.
Fleetwood snatched a last-gasp equaliser, with Shaun Rooney heading his second goal of the game in the 99th minute to break Rovers' hearts. Shortly beforehand in stoppage time, Barton was shown a straight red card by referee Robert Madden on an eventful afternoon that was packed with niggle and sub-plots – with so many connections between the two clubs both on the pitch and in the dugout.
