Traded in the weed for more booze? Sounds like an awful trade in to me mate. The plant is a far better way to live IMO.

 

Totally agree. It's just a needs-must arrangement really. I can't drink or vape on a night time when I'm looking after my baby daughter, but when we're both looking after her it's a lot easier/more socially acceptable for me to drink.

 

Once she's older I'll build myself a hut in the back garden or something. :lol:

Hopefully the government will see sense and lift the prohibition on a plant that helps millions of people in the UK every day either physically or mentally.

 

Stranger things have happened!

Booze is a funny creature how it effects people differently, for someone like Barton who doesn’t seem to have a limit on where the red mist will take him, he should obviously avoid it like the plague, would throw cocaine into that too.

 

There’s ways of letting off steam that doesn’t result in someone getting battered.

‘Idiotic young boy’ – Joey Barton launches scathing attack on his own player in astonishing angry rant

 

Bristol Rovers boss Joey Barton has publicly slammed one of his own players, labelling Luke Thomas an ‘idiotic young boy’ in an astonishing angry rant.

Barton, notorious for this thuggish behaviour as both a player and manager, was left furious at Thomas and labelled him a ‘weak, feeble-minded individual’ for his error in a 2-0 League One defeat to Peterborough United.

 

Thomas, 24, who joined Bristol Rovers permanently this summer and has earned three caps for England U20s, was deemed responsible for Peterborough’s second goal on Saturday.

‘To compound it one idiotic young boy – I can’t even call him a man – has compromised the team with his behavioural standards and we find ourselves 2-0 down with a mountain to climb,’ Barton said about Thomas after the match.

 

‘I can’t fault the other 10 players or the lads that came off the bench because they kept plugging away and kept pushing.

 

‘Unless we man up – and I know you have to be careful saying that in the modern era – and absolutely eradicate these weak, feeble-minded individuals that are currently inside our unit, we won’t get promoted out of this division.

 

‘Luke reported his hamstring was tight one minute before we were going out. He got told to test it and said ‘no, I’m fine’.

 

‘The ball is down his side and he said his hamstring has gone so we were about to make a substitution.

 

‘But, in his infinite wisdom, he goes to press the ball and completely exposes Jack Hunt.

 

‘We should do better after that, but we find ourselves 2-0 down – all because someone hasn’t got the mindset required to make the correct call to keep the team strong.

 

‘I’m frustrated, disappointed and gutted for the travelling fans who came in their numbers and I think anyone who has been here today will see we were more than a match for Peterborough.

 

‘We didn’t get that little bit of luck and we were sabotaged from within with an idiotic decision by Luke.

 

‘The thing that’s really annoyed me is at 1-0 I still really fancied us.

 

‘I thought we were the better side and said to the lads at half-time that Peterborough had scored against the run of play.

 

‘The frustrating thing for me is because of an idiotic decision we find ourselves 2-0 down and they had something to hang onto.

 

‘We’ve had a right go at them, but we couldn’t find that breakthrough and it’s three points dropped because we’re better than them.’

Passed the League One table a week or two ago and thought he seemed to still be doing a stable job which surprised me. Might stick a bit on them to plummet to relegation now; proper shit man management but I guess it's been a while since he showed his true colours.

 

Do we still have a weird group of fans that think he's a cult hero because he managed to stay fit long enough to punt the ball into the general vicinity of Carroll's noggin for six months and took easy digs at the mackems, or did everyone finally get over that? :lol:

:anguish: :lol: GBNews-tastic

 

You'd think he would have a small idea of how to get through to young players with discipline issues. If he looks back at himself at 24 and thinks "if my manager publicly threw me under the bus when I did such and such, that would totally have turned me around" he's even dumber than I thought.

Just one fascinating article:

 

Point 1. The article actually talks about him being suspended for a training ground bust up (his time at Rangers). :lol: what's that 3/4 clubs he was suspended from?

 

Point 2. Talks about his dad running over a dog in retribution for him being attacked by a dog. Which in itself is highly aggressive behaviour from his father but interestingly, it sounds like Barton defends his fathers actions and outlook. His father's son?

 

Point 3. Psychopaths often are exposed to/ have experience with the mutilation of animals. I suspect this incident was profound on him. Lack of empathy? Judging by his absolute lack of care to the people he hurts, its certainly possible that he's a Psychopath or at least has an Anti-Social personality. He's narcissistic, judging by his "philosophy" on twitter a few years ago.

 

On the one hand, I feel some sympathy because his character has undoubtedly been created from his youth but I'd bet my backside that he will be in trouble again before long.

I liked it when he said he was mates with Morrissey and would repeat passages from his Penguin Book of Clever Quotes so that he could show us what footballers think intellectuals sound like.


doesn’t matter who said them first.

I found it very uncomfortable reading. I can't accept the survival tag to justify shocking behaviour. 

The comment you make about the lack of empathy is spot on. 

I also think his time here was over celebrated

Joey Barton thinking he's in a position to pass judgement on what being a man (as opposed to a boy) is :lol:

 

He's a worm. Whether the player he's talking about is a boy or a man, you can guarantee they have more about them than that worthless stain.

The more I think about it the more ridiculous it is. :lol: He loves to pride himself on being some progressive intellectual yet that has to be one of the most toxic managerial quotes I've seen in a while. Manages to insult the poor lad like eight times.

 

Can't think of a single cliche PFM dumb enough to come out with that shite.
