Ronaldo Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Listen, Barton's a total prick who's guilty of several despicable crimes, but Giggs' actions are those of someone with no basic moral fabric or loyalty even to those closest to him.

Varadi Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Have to say I think Joey is right, and that what Giggs did was worse than any of his transgressions. Probably the worst thing Joey did was that beating to the lad outside McDonalds, and I don't know about anyone else but I would far, far rather take a few drunken slaps than have my brother betray me in about the worst way imaginable over a prolonged period.

Yep, and you could argue Barton's actions were heat in the moment stuff. (Not excusing them, but they are harder to control.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elliottman Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Accidently hitting a pedestrian with your car is worse than shagging your brother's wife? Aye, OK. Conveniently ignoring all the other examples given there. If you were the victim, and someone assaulted you or if you found out your brother had been dicking your lass for 8years? What would you be most aggrieved about? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Aye cause stabbing a lit cigarette into someone's eye is ok An idiotic, drunken and pretty sinister action yes. As far the McD's thing goes, punching the head off someone who, tried giving it large to Barton and getting done over like they deserved, to me is someone getting their comeuppance. If you think that falls into the same category as betraying your own blood and in laws for almost a decade you need your head testing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexf Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 I think the original point someone was making was that Barton is the last person to be going on about someone else being a "wrong un" Anyway, I find it funny that for so long there was that whole "super injunction" and now you have people like Barton just outright accusing giggs of things like making her abort a baby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone in life has made mistakes, doesn't mean they lose the right to an opinion on anything. Sure but why mouth off on a public forum about a fellow professional. It's attention seeking at it's worst. It's like "oh he's getting complimented on having a great career, I've had a shit career so better say something that's going to get peoples attention. " To be fair I've not seen any of this love in for Giggs as I hate the bloke for the reasons mentioned by others but surely the people praising him, are doing it because he's an excellent footballer and not praising what he's done off the field?

gazza ladra Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 It's not about Barton and Giggs, it's about Giggs and Terry and the role the press played in lionizing the one and villifying the other. Barton makes a valid point. (You could argue that he's not the one to be questioning the morality of anyone. Fair enough. But that's not going to stop him.) Anyway, I think he's 100% right. Still wish he'd just shut up already. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raconteur Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 http://i.imgur.com/Ixjycvc.png It's like people don't know how Twitter works... First he's jumping on board with the praise for Giggs. Then he's going for his two bob's worth of controversy which, if you read it, isn't really so bad. And from then on he's replying to all the trolls that two bob's worth of controversy dug up. You can see him getting more and more wound up as people rail against him for daring to mention the unmentionable. It's not as though it's one single media release - it's one half of a conversation. People talk about the relative heinousness of Giggs' and Barton's crimes, well, you can see Barton's lingering anger management issues right there on the page. Starts with "can't be having that" and gets progressively more angry until he calls Giggs out as a "cunt"... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJ_NUFC Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 He once played for us. Was pivotal for us for a while, and showed more passion for us in a time when a lot of wankers had just left us, devoid of care for the club. I'll always follow his "musings" (really stretching that word, I know), if only to remember he once did a good job for us for some time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think as a Twitterer he is good value in that he has half an ounce more intelligence than your average player (imagine following Rio ffs!) and he genuinely doesn't give a fuck about what people think of him. These two combine to make someone who is entertaining to follow. Sure, he talks a lot of shite, but it's funny. I'm not going to speak for him as a man, though!

Cronky Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Joey certainly knows how to put the world to rights. If only he'd made the same efforts with himself, he'd have had a far more successful career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an absolute waste of time and £60k/week for 3 out of the 4 years he was at NUFC. And "waste of time" is charitable, at his worst he was in prison for being a daft cunt.
