Joey Barton (now retired)

Nah, he was very much part of the comeback over the last two years and he deserves credit for that. I'll not give him a standing ovation if he returns to SJP, but he'll get a polite clap.

 

Same, I won't be going OTT either wayn on Monday.

 

Will be interesting to hear our lot's general reaction, reckon it could be mixed.

 

He'll most definitely get booed.  Football fans are far too fickle on the whole.

 

No. Big difference between people on here and those at games, mate.

Bang on.

 

He relates to those in the real world who have an affinity with the guy.

 

There's no way he'll get a bad reception off our fans.

There's been many, many players who have done a lot more for the club who didn't get their names sung upon return.

 

Thats as maybe but the fans relate to him because he's a rascal who fell out with the board.

 

He'll get a very good reception, like it or not.

Aye, he won't get booed though. No chance.

I just think personally that it will be embarrassing on our fans behalf if his name gets sung. He had 1 good season here, ONE. Before that 3 where he bled the club dry and dragged its reputation through the mud.

 

He's not a club legend, not even close infact. The fact he fell out with the cunts and then pissed off to QPR shouldn't make him some kind of Geordie martyr. He's got half the fanbase in the palm of his hand as far as I'm concerned.

 

Respectful clapping and a cheer if he comes over to our support, nowt more. Support our boys on the pitch, not the ex-player for the other team.

Doesn't stop it being cringeworthy as far as I'm concerned. Like I said it becomes disrespectful to all the excellent servants to the club who got muted/negative/no reception from our support if Joey Barton gets his name sung.

:lol: That's rubbish - the fans have an affiliation with him and if they feel the need to show it/sing it then that's upto them.

 

The fans at the match bear little resemblance to those on here in my experience.

I think his affiliation with our support is overplayed and his hero status to be over the top for what he contributed to the club. Hence why I'd find it cringeworthy.

 

I find that fans at the match and those on here both have a wide range of contrasting opinions. For example, the lad that sits infront of me fucking hates Joey Barton whereas our resident German would probably have his children if medically possible.

Tis a game of opinions.

 

You'll have to tell the lad in front to boo loudly when we play QPR at home to make his opinion heard then because he'll be drowned out by those cheering imho.

 

FWIW, and you can say what you like about JB, it's never at any stage made any sense to get rid of him for nothing.

 

Something else which would have irked the away following and probably majority of home too.

Have already said on here what a nonsensical and petty decision it was to fuck him off for free. I think the unrelenting worship of a half decent player who had one good season at the club purely because he fell out with the board sums up the sorry state our football club finds itself in, to be perfectly honest. People are so desperate to stick it to the board that they'll latch onto a fist pumping scouser who in the cold light of day (and I say this despite enjoying his outspoken character) is driven solely for personal gain and is probably a bit of a cunt.

Sewelly sums up my thoughts perfectly.

 

12 months ago people would have been happy to give the lad away for free, obviously since then he has more than proved his worth but that doesn't change the fact it's one season, 25% of his time here. Players who have given far more have had far, far more stick.

Brainfart moment.

 

I was waiting patiently for you to agree with my posts btw. Knew you'd like them.  :banana2:

 

Great minds and all that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok my agreement probably knocks some credibility off your posts but they're good enough to withstand it  :laugh:

And mine.

 

I'm reminded of Mike's comment in La Meme Fred

 

We've all got to be the same person living multiple lives simultaneously or some shit.

Barton is, was and will always be an arsehole. You're well rid in my opinion. He's a liability and court case waiting to happen, and no amount of his wikipedia searches for interesting shit to tweet will convince me otherwise.
