Mr. Snrub Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Thankfully he was anonymous for most of the match. 1 cracking pass to put SWP through is all that springs to mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 @Joey7Barton Joseph Barton Glad to get that one out of the way. I was very nervous before KO, which is strange for me.

Ishmael Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Passed it well enough, got about. Did the basics well and certainly didn't choke as much as I thought he would. Knew he'd be nervous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
binnsy Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Worst thing about the Barton stuff is you know the fans loved him and wanted him to stay, the manager has gone on record saying he has no problem with the player and wanted him to stay and then you read all the players interviews in the press in the last couple of days, Colo, Tiote, Gosling, Simpson and others all heaping praise on him and saying how important he is and Ashley and Llambias make a ridiculous decision to give him away for nothing. Surely they could have been big enough men to get together and sort the difference out. As a result NUFC are much weaker on and off the pitch. Pardew has lost some respect as a result, he should surely have been stronger and made the board realise on a footballing level Barton should stay and if he did have to leave at least get a fee for him, even if it was £1m its better than letting him walk away for nowt. QPR probably would have paid upto £3m if we'd asked for a fee anyway with Fernandes coming in and splashing the cash. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The "One Joey Barton" chants I heard were mainly Q.P.R. fans to be fair, unless our away support all have cockney accents. I dont have a problem showing him some thanks before the game or when his name is called out with the teamsheet but when the game is in full swing and he has just slyly kicked and one of our young players and thrown the ball at him seems a bit silly. If it was our fans singing aswell. Either way to each their own. He played well today which shouldnt come as a surprise. He was surrounded with creative players which took the weight of expectation to create (that he had here) off, so he could go about his game tidying up the midfield and supporting the attack. Big loss for us this season but we have moved on now. Booed during the game, cheered and applauded before and after, how it should be IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you havn't said otherwise, and i'm just banging an old drum, but had Barton been on our side instead of Obertan (and obviosly Taylor and Ameobi were not on the pitch) we would not have been raped in such brutal fashion by QPR, of all clubs. Such a monumentaly laughable decision to give him away, and it was proven last night.

Consortium of one Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I still think Joey will have a major meltdown this season. The way he flipped the ball back at Sammy tells me he still has some anger issues. He did get a talking to by the ref after that too, so they are watching him.

Steggy Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I thought the fans played it fucking perfectly btw. He was booed during the game and given no lovey dovey woo go joey shit to boost his performance and his ego, however after the game when he was finished applauding the qpr fans, he was the last player on the pitch, he walked towards the away end to appluad us and got a great reception and a pretty fucking loud 'one joey barton'.

Dave Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Pretty sure Sale has been pretty reliable in the past when it comes to NUFC: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/article-2037073/Charles-Sale-Willie-McKay-spotlight-Joey-Bartons-QPR-deal.html McKay in spotlight over Barton's QPR deal Last updated at 12:00 AM on 14th September 2011 Football agent Willie McKay is at the centre of more controversy over his role in QPR captain Joey Barton’s free transfer from Newcastle. The paperwork for the deal shows that McKay, who has had a turbulent relationship with the football authorities, acted for QPR in the negotiations, while Barton represented himself, with the terms signed off by the Rangers financial director Rebecca Caplehorn. The arrangement has surprised Newcastle, who are understood to have made their concerns known to the FA. McKay was active on Barton’s behalf during the summer saga that ended with the player leaving Tyneside to take up the £60,000-a-week on offer at Loftus Road. McKay working on behalf of QPR, rather than Barton, in the final negotiations would mean the midfielder would not be liable for any benefit-in-kind tax payment for his considerable agent’s fee. The Inland Revenue are aware this regulatory loophole surrounding dual representation is being exploited. McKay was one of five men arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting in November 2007 as part of the City of London Police football corruption probe. But 18 months later, he was cleared of any wrongdoing. In December 2008, he was given a suspended ban by the FA for breaching regulations by acting for two different clubs in two consecutive transfers of Portsmouth and Manchester City striker Benjani. QPR, Newcastle and the FA would not comment. McKay was unavailable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toonpack Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 McKay is well dodgey, but why are Newcastle bothered though we were giving him away? Or is it just sour grapes on Ashley's part? Or Maybe Joey and Willie played it perfectly Refuses contract January Willie McKay (his agent at the time) turns up to talk contract and told not now being offered Joey joins twitter, I'm not going anywhere, I love the fans club blah blah, they can't make me leave Pause - no developments. Joey attacks club hierarchy on twitter making his position untenable Willie McKay all of a sudden no longer his agent acts for QPR and negotiates with Joey (acting for himself) for bumper payday and big contract. Perfect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 Didn't something similar happen with Carroll? IIRC at the last minute, Carroll represented himself over the transfer. There was then a dispute that involved the agent who Carroll sacked and another agent who was supposedly representing Liverpool. In Barton's case, it just sounds like a tax dodge. If it's legal under the letter of the regulations, then there's nothing anyone can do until they close that particular loophole. If it's not legal, then someone's in trouble. Either way, human beings not behaving terribly well when large amounts of money are at stake is not headline news. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
