What is Joey Barton Up To?

[craigLCF]

which are?

 

He has a multi-pack of Golden Wonder in his kitchen.

[Paulie Dangerously]

which are?

 

I've seen no conclusive proof that he hasn't killed Mark Lawrenceson and replaced him with a robot with two settings "bad pun" and "slag off liverpool"

[LFC64]

Much ado about nothing. Nowadays the game is littered with insiduous snides who routinely seek to gain advantage by provoking anyone with a reputation.

If some of the City players had provoked Souness Case or Smith for instance the same way they'd have ben carried off on a stretcher

I think Barton is self aware mind you and is trying to come across as a bit of character and reacts to provocation with his fists but sunday was nothing in my opinion.

 

He was right about Alan Elbows Shearer and Gary Slimeker who is toad like and odious.

To be fair, there's also the 'Liverpool will never lose' setting, best witnessed in his BBC website predictions.

Hahaha. What a nob:

 

Joseph Barton ‏@Joey7Barton_

He's right, like, but what a nob.

It's a parody account.

That's not him though, the underscore is a clue.

[Lurtz]

Ah bugger.

 

*pwned*

 

Amma negging Total Longo next time I see him for RTing that. Shithead.

12 match ban - enjoy your extended break Joey, you are a disgrace

[Manny]

Whilst I don't necessarily disagree with a lengthy ban for Joey Barton, it's interesting that the FA are happy to deal out punishments like this to a pariah playing for the minnows (one of whose offences is kneeing someone), but when it comes to one of their golden boys playing for the national team (whose offence was kicking someone), they pack up and go to Switzerland with puppy eyes to convince UEFA that that's OK and they should let him off.

 

Now I'm not saying they're morally bankrupt. But they're morally fucking bankrupt. A plague upon their house.

Think 12 matches is a bit much really.

 

Didn't Ben Thatcher only get 8 games for nearly maiming someone.

 

I suspect this is the easy way to get back at him for his twitter adventures.

 

Why was Tevez never charged, as there is no way the ref can claim to have seen him smacking Barton ?

[aws]

SkyNews saying he's been hard done by because Suarez only got 8 games.

Well I never saw that coming...

[bobhorse]

IMO The Premier League should introduce a rule where by any player that is Sacked by a Club for Gross Misconduct should be treated in the same way as a Club going into Administration and any club in the Prem wanting to sign him on a free should be docked 10 points that will stop a player like Barton getting sacked From QPR and then getting a fat signing on fee and massive wage at another club in the Prem making him pay a fine or mis matches only hurts the team who have to keep paying his wages while he sits on his arse

[Anubis]

At this moment in time I think Joey is safely tucked up in bed with his favourite teddy bear, Buttons.

They just love to stir that up.

 

Suarez (whichever side of the 'truth' fence you sit on) basically had a bit of a verbal altercation that was between two people - and it got blown out of all proportion. Unfortunately thanks to the nature of the alleged transgression, the FA soiled their pants (and left them 'non white', as 'brown' might offend) and opted to be seen to fine upstanding anti-racists. For the FA is a win-win-win situation!... Be seen to be Anti-Racist, slip Man United a little favour whilst they were still in the planning stages of a 'season end penalty bonus', and to stick one on Liverpool at the same time. They couldn't lose.

 

Suarez and Barton are leagues apart. yes Suarez can be irritating, but that's part of his game. Barton is just an irritant!

 

Irritating = a deliberate act to get under the skin of opponents.

Irritant = naturally occurring and unable to control himself!

 

 

Sooner or later, someone's going to chin him. It's a constant surprise to me (as it was with Roy Keane) why nobody's done it. Perhaps it only serves to illustrate the professional nature of most players. Admirable I'd say.

[Guest davelfc]

The elbow (3) and increased to 4 as it's his second offence, knee (3) increased to 4 third offence and Headbutt (3) increased fourth offence.

 

He then twittered more rubbish about it, saying he wanted to take someone with him. IMO 12 isn't enough.

 

Fuck sky, they have their own agenda. We all saw with our own eyes the violence from Barton, had that been Suarez or Carrol then some chinless wonder would already be in one of the papers and on TV saying he should be banned forever. Just because he's (Barton) a known thug doesn't mean you have to accept behaviour like that.

That was far worse than all of the Barton incident put together ......... Pedro Mendes was lucky not to be in hospital for weeks on end after that assault.

[lifetime fan]

The fact the FA didn't have the balls to deal with Thatcher properly doesn't mean you have to judge all future punishments against that decision.

[boots123]

maybe he got himself sent off to stop united winning the league, he is a lpool fan

[WaltonRed]

He's not a red he's a blue isnt he?

 

Besides him being a proper full on whopper I think 12 games is harsh, the whole thing about it being the pinnacle of the season is a joke

 

if it was mid season away to sunderland no one give a flying fuck, same with Luis and Evra

[Torvald Utne]

Nobody else would have got a ban that long, it's purely because it's him.

 

And has anyone ever been charged and found guilty for an attempted headbutt before?

[lifetime fan]

It's purely because he's a cunt.

 

He was lucky to not get longer.
