Joey Barton

[KaKa]

McClaren tried to sign Barton and Dawson?! And we kept him on past last summer? Ridiculous stuff.

And Nolan, fkn crazy

Barton could be  signing for Rangers.

Can't believe how many fans think this guy is some sort of legend. Was as culpable as any player when we went down, and did bugger all to get us back up.

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Shit player, shit attitude.

Heard his full interview on the radio. He made some persuasive points, around the sense of personal and collective responsibility in a core of the squad he was previously relegated with. How it was this coupled with the determination to 'make good' which got them back. How he didn't see enough of this in current squad, how they wouldn't bounce straight back without it. He they needed to get shot of everyone who isn't up for the fight.

 

He also sees Charnley as a good guy, with his heart in the right place. Doesn't have a problem with Ashley. Describes Llambias as the devil incarnate. Is another pro/ITK who rates Jack Colback. I agree about needing men who are up for a fight and think Barton had (too much of) this, I wouldn't want him back.

 

Just a reminder that Joey Barton was injured for the vast majority of our last Championship season.  He played in the first few games then vanished with an injury until near the end of the season when we were almost already promoted.  He played in fewer games than Fabrice Pancrate.  If there was a determination amongst the players to make good and get back into the Premiership it had fuck all to do with him.

But he probably shouted really loudly at people like Martins & Beye after the Leyton Orient friendly. Legend man, the radgy.

and he was a complete tool by getting sent off against Liverpool when the match was lost. He goes on like he was Kevin Nolan.

I don't credit him with bringing us back up - he was injured for large parts of that season.

 

He put a canny few good crosses onto Carroll's bonce the following season though.

[Thomson Mouse]

He's 34 this year you f***ing idiots. He was s*** in his prime.

 

See, it's posts like this that make you look an utter cock.

[Optimistic Nut]

He's right though.

But he is right

[Thomson Mouse]

Absolutely, it's the idiots bit that there was no need for but that's typical him.

[Stifler]

If Rangers win the cup then they will be back in Europe next year, not a bad move from him if that's the case. He good enough to piss all over the SPL for a few years, and gets himself some games in Europe.

[Paully]

Signing for Rangers by his tweet!

he thinks he's proper ahead of the curve like. Hashtagging Roy Orbison now.

He's proper cringe, like some 6th form student who's just discovered indie music.

[Lush Vlad]

Yeah, his twitter is pretty bad for the most part.  I did enjoy him taking the piss out of Pardew's dance, though.

[Mr. Snrub]

Hash tagging Penny Arcade lyrics now. 

 

It's common knowledge he's always been a Septic fan, but it doesn't fucking matter.  Just sign for Rangers without acting like you grew up in Govan just to play up to the fans and be an instant hero man.

[Cronky]

There’s no point in having him back now, but in his prime he was a good player. There was far too much other stuff going on for him to fulfil his talent though.

 

It’s a bit of a cheek for him to blame others for the first relegation. If he hadn’t decided that taking out Alonso was more important than making himself available for our final three games, we might have stayed up.

 

But that was Joey. Too full of himself.

 

[Guest Howaythetoon]

Barton has always been bang average like. He has had a good career considering.

[Fret Astaire]

Barton and Rangers are a perfect fit. They're a rancid, insular institution with horrible, cult-like fans. A match made in heaven.

Had a spell under Keegan at City where he looked good, 4 months here.. That's about it.

Charged by the FA for placing 1,260 bets over a 10 year period Oh dear...
