Joey Barton

[jdckelly]

so tom huddlestone stamps on player at the weekend, fa overlook it, barton does something fa charge, its not that he doesn't deserve it but christ some consistency from the fa would be great

[Guest Stephen927]

The thing with Barton is, he's always spoken well in the papers, he's an intelligent lad. It was just the other day I was thinking he had turned the corner.

That's always the way with the FA

[Hanshithispantz]

some of the over-reactions here are embaracing, was stupid of him but people are going on like he's just raped the queen or summat.

[Guest gggg]

He deserves to be charged, this will do us harm.. Hughton wanting a contract and its tough enough without having  to prove he can control him.

We get enough bad press, him doing this kind of shit is the very last thing we need, he has found form BUT I would not be gutted to see him go IF he was replaced and not by some Championship shite.

If Gosling can show and fore fill his potential then bye bye Joey for me.

 

Hear hear. Surely there are average prem midfielders out there who won't be in danger of missing half the season through their own stupidity. There's a four page thread slating Cattermole for being a dick but Barton's no different, so there's no point defending him.

I dont know what to think of the guy after the incident. I thought he has really changed for good! He has been absolutely brilliant for us this season, so to do something like what he did was unacceptable, whatever his justification is. It was a stupid act & he was really fortunate to get away with it. But if the reports about the FA reviewing the footage is true, which might result in some sort of punishment for him, then I think it is unfair. The match is over. The referee didnt spot it, so why is there a need to review it?

 

they have announced they are charging him

 

OK, just got that info. If Barton is a smart, and I hope he is, he will plead guilty and accept the 3 match ban. Hopefully well get a proper right winger in January so that we can offload him. Honestly, I had enough of him already. We have given him too many chance already but it seems that he is still the same Joey Barton. If Chris Hughton came out and defend him, then I dont know what to say.

[David28]

Just seen it now for the first time - he absolutely deserves to be charged (and I've always been a Barton fan). 3 game ban is lucky imo.

 

Really thought he had changed.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

To say we should sell Barton for something like this is mental TBH.

 

It was an incident of average significance at best, I would say it was fairly minor. He will be punished by the FA (which is right, although I wish they would punish all the other violence in the game as well) and accept that.

 

I don't think it has much significance beyond that. I certainly don't think it means Barton is reverting to his old ways or anything like that.

[Turnbull2000]

that will be a five game ban. think the blackburn player totally overreacted, but the FA would love to hit Barton hard.

[SEMTEX]

I doubt it. It's a standard 3 gamer imo.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I doubt it. It's a standard 3 gamer imo.

 

Hope so, anything more would be totally excessive.

just accept the ban, Guthrie/Routledge can cover for him. Barton was due a rest anyway

[Guest gggg]

Barton has until 6pm on Friday 12 November to reply to the charge and under The FA’s fast-track regulations may admit the charge and accept a standard three-match suspension.

silly comparison, how man on field incidents has barton been involved in? how many red cards has he had, legs has he broke... etc etc

most sensible post i've seen on this thread to be honest.

[Gash]

Fantasy Football. Going have to drop him, will he lose his game week points do you think?

 

Also, the FA are shite, Barton should have been punished but so should Huddlestone for a blatant stamp, double stands and hypocrisy. Mad.

[toptoon]

Barton has been excellent so far this season, more so now he's on the right. Ok so he gave that divy pederson a jab in the belly. A Lapse in judgement. Give him the deserved 3 game ban and lets get on with it.

[summerof69]

i thought he had turned a corner. Guess i was wrong.

On or off the park it doesn't matter where it happens. Incidents like this will cost us. He was banned for 12 games and jailed for battering a teammate which is a bit more serious than a red card.

[gdm]

he was not banned and jailed for battering a teammate

but his off-field problems appear to have been sorted, and they were his biggest downfall, he's tee-total and apparantly been in no bother at all for about 2-3 year.

 

his problems were allways off the field as he has never been 'rightly' known as a dirty player on it. We have to expect the odd red card or moment of madness though, as we have to with all players, especialy our more 'passionate' ones.

[Colos Curls]

He's an idiot blatantly, but sell him? Some absolute knackers on this forum. He's been pivotal in our season so far and he's done something stupid, in which he's been punished for, get over it and stop flapping your gums

Pretty much agree with that. I'm pissed off with Barton for getting what looks like an inevitable ban when he's been playing well and creating goals.

 

He's obviously got previous but most of it is off the pitch. I don't think by any means that he's an angel on the pitch but imo he's not a  dirty player who is always looking to put one across an opposing player (and there are plenty of those). Although he's clearly in the wrong he's not even come close to decking Pedersen in this incident. He should get something for it and probably will. Footballers are highly competitive animals and it can and does spill over in the heat of a match - even the sainted Shearer had his dark moments.

Sell the one player who seem to find Carroll with his eyelids shut? smart

He hasn't made him self the flashiest players this season but he sure is one of our best out there at times.

He hit a t*** that deserved it, f*** the FA, i`m ridin with you Barton.

 

Barton to Carroll seems to be what Geremi was to Owen under Keegan.
