Guest neesy111 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 the one and only time ashley could have done a positive thing and it's the one time he let keegan have 100% control of typical us Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 There should be made a video with Barton/Owen clips to "Hot'n Cold" by Katy Perry. The lyrics just fit so perfectly for both of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of them would be doing jail time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 How many people have been sent off this season as a result of tackling Alonso.. He certainly has a lot of protection from referees, it's a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Going forward, we looked a lot better with Barton in the side. I was starting to feel really optimistic about getting the points to stay up. Then he does that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Even without debating whether it was a straight red or not, it was a stupid f*cking tackle to make anyway. Alonso was going nowhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 On a parallel world somewhere, he would have overcome his mental problems, avoided injury, and become a cracking player and England international. Instead, the next time he plays football it will probably be in the Championship either with us (hopefully not,) or some other desperate club.

Guest Brewcastle Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Send Barton anywhere...... It¨s many other players "out there" with much more value and skill than him. For example Per Ciljan Skjelbred from Rosenborg, Norway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 The problem with Barton is that he thinks he can make his own rules, according to what he himself thinks is right and wrong. He had got annoyed with Alonso earlier on, when he figured that Alonso was trying to act injured after a harmless challenge. I reckon he felt that Alonso deserved to be sorted out, and so he put far more into that tackle than he needed to. And Joey - it doesn't matter if you get the ball either - if you jump in two-footed it's a red. Barton has this arrogant attitude that he can take the law into his own hands and dispense his own justice. He probably thinks he's acting out of principle, but he's part of a team of 11 men and he's just being selfish. I don't think he'd lost his temper, which would have made the foul a bit more understandable. It's the general attitude that he brings to the game.

colinmk Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Well that's Barton finished judging by Shearer there. About time too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRC Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 What an idiot, after the second goal went in I said aslong as noone gets sent off we still have a good chance of staying up, and most of that was due to Barton being back, as he offers us drive. But what a fucking prick, needless tackle, potentially relegated us, as he Viduka and Martins are the only guys that can get us out of the mess.

Dave Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 "He deserved to be sent off, he has let himself and the club down," said Shearer, who also admitted "we will do what we have to do" regarding a club fine. "He was not unlucky, the referee was spot-on. There was no need for him to do that in such a position." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Luque Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/match_of_the_day/8031745.stm Watch that. The guy is fucking fuming. It's so wierd having such an honest and down to earth guy in charge. Really hope he stays whether we are in this league or the Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Everything about Shearer changed when he was questioned about Barton. Voice dropped and looked like he was really holding back. I have no doubts Barton has/will been verbally raped in the face. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveItIfWeBeatU Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 I've only seen it the once but wasn't Smith's two footed tackle worse than Barton's? We've got two players with tempers that cost us. Nice work Allardyce. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tisd09 Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 At first I tried to convince myself that it was harsh as he touched the ball, but it was a reckless challenge, he put the other man in danger and there was more intent in hitting Alonso that the ball IMO. That kind of challege is a red card offense whether they take the ball or not. He had to go. What a fool, how many chances has he had now? If Shearer does stay I don't think Barton will after that. Gutted, I thought at times he used the ball well and looked sharpish considering the lack of playing time this season. But fuck him, hes gone now lets get behind the players that we have a available, if we can't beat Boro next week at home then we don't deserve to be in the Premiership. Hopefully Shearer wil keep his bottle and keep Owen on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Still soured by this to be honest. People have invested a lot of hope in his return coinciding with an upturn in fortunes as he is undoubtedly the best of a rotten bunch of central midfielders and he's thrown it back in their faces - again - to settle a personal score that has cropped up during a competitive game of football. Now I'm not a massive fan of his at all and would have happily seen him sacked-off when he got jailed, but he is the one man left who could have provided a bit of spark and impetus to a team which is dead on it's arse, even if he wasn't 100% or playing brilliantly (which he probably wouldn't have been). Good player, absolute psychopath - but who didn't know that already? We cannot keep giving him second chances. Hope that's the end of him here. We're now hoping that one of Smith, Butt, Guthrie or Nolan starts doing something out of the ordinary - or that Geremi comes back in from the cold (again) to provide some semblance of footballing ability to the centre of the park. That list of players hurts my balls, to be honest. Overpaid, under-performing wankers to a man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
