Ryan_Taylor Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 So he would have been allowed in to go clubbing and drinking and whatever you like to do on holiday...But not train and play football under supervision of the club. No mad at all Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 As somebody who has had his fair share of run in's with US immigration I presume he went on holiday and used the visa waiver system like most people do, but that to go and play football there the club needs to get Visa's for everyone, probably B1/B2's. Some of the players would need Visa's whatever the circumstances, Tiote, The Argies etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattypnufc Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Still find it quite funny for a country rife with crime that a uk citizen who has a past misdemenour can't get approval to enter the country, even though they have him on record, know where he will be staying, who he will be with and when he will be there too. Madness considering we used to run that fucking place too. *waits for a bite for the last comment* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TheSummerOf69 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Are there any Newcastle 'XI' games while we're away? Might appear at Gateshead or Whitley Bay or something. He's going to Holland: Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has been left out of the team's pre-season tour of America after the US Embassy refused to grant him a visa. In 2008 he was jailed after admitting assault in Liverpool city centre. In the same year he was given a suspended sentence for an assault on a team-mate at Manchester City. Barton, 28, said that he regretted not being able to go, but did not expect to be treated more favourably than anyone in a similar situation. Newcastle are due to depart for the US on Sunday, with matches scheduled against Sporting Kansas, Orlando City and Columbus Crew. Barton will travel to Holland with the club's reserve team, which will play Hollandia, FC Utrecht and Almere City. The midfielder said: "Unfortunately, I was denied my visa due to my past. "I regret not being able to travel with the club on this trip, but at the same time, I don't expect to be treated any differently or more favourably than anyone else in a similar situation. "All I can do is continue to improve as a person, which is what I intend to do." He added: "Again, apologies to all the NUFC supporters, as well as the fast-growing legions of football supporters, in the United States who I was looking forward to meeting. "I will see you in the future." Newcastle midfielder Joey Barton has been left out of the team's pre-season tour of America after the US Embassy refused to grant him a visa.

Disco Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 As if the club wouldn't have known this would be the case. Daft not to have one of your better players & VC from the previous season not with the 1st team squad for a large chunk of preseason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
