Razor Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Anyone seen that "Joey Barton is to join Robbie Savage on Radio 5 live 606 show from 1800 BST (UK users)" , more tasty sound-bites guaranteed. He's a bit of a knob sure, but its thoroughly entertaining , he does defend himself and he didn't do what 'the old joey' would have done yesterday. Overall the question for me is whether with the whole package that he is, does he positively contribute to the team, or not. And i think at this stage he does, his footballing ability adds enough to the team to cope with the antics, but if he got offside with a key player in the team, not just the management, then that might change.

wyn davies Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 yep Barton went to assist Gervinho to get off the ground, but!! Gervinho then turned on Barton as Barton helped him get up! which caused the fracas, watch iplayer and you can clearly see the offence happening, funny how the stamping has drifted into the background and all the emphisis is on Barton starting the bother.

Aphrodite Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Seriously though, this is part of the reason why shit like this carries on in the game. People will scream blue murder if something is done by a player from another team but will try and justify it if it's done by one of their own as it's 'part of the game'.

That's what disappoints me the most, as I said yesterday all the attention is on joey, yet of the three players invol ed in unsavoury activiy yesterday, he was the one least in the wrong. A player who intentionally and cowardly stamped on another achielles, something that could easy have result in a seasn or career ending injury and a person who tried to cheat and raised his hands to the face of another player are forgotten about because joey grab the said cheater's shirt too vigorously and made the most of of slap. Sad that some of the most vocal profess to support this club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He feigned injury, simple as, I hate it when other players do it and I hate it when Barton does it. It's called being objective. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad that some of the most vocal profess to support this club. I don't think a single person across the country has ignored the stamp, it's been roundly condemned and there have been calls for the FA to look at the video for further punishment. That doesn't mean we keep our head in the sand wrt our own players and how they conduct themselves. I don't want to see them putting themselves in a position where they might get sent off, and Barton came perilously close to it yesterday. If the ref had been looking the right way he'd have gone IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wil Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Seem to have Joey Barton in the middle of my life right now and it looks like he'll be living closely with me over the next year, like some kind of delinquent/mischievious son. Hope it doesn't become unbearable. Twitter and it's use to drive media stories is making everything so much worse. One anxiety I have is without Nolan around to generally help keep the lid on, on the pitch it might just get out of control when teams inevitably target him again. Hope Joey is strong enough to deal with it, because I believe we really need the positive qualities he has this year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 He is the Ronnie O'Sullivan of football. Going to have no shortage of options at this rate when he retires. Don't see him signing on with us anytime soon but if we manage to keep him I will be happy. I bet Colo is dreading having to have words with him.

Tisd09 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Song = biggest c*** of the day Gervinho = prick Barton = Stupid We all understand the frustration of someone diving for a penalty, but it was a poor reaction from Barton. Also hitting the floor like that was simulation. Weren't we all calling Pedersen a knobhead last season. Barton was a lucky boy yesterday, however, the whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Hopefully Song will get a ban for what he did, I can't see a reason for him not to get one. Lets hope this dies down by the derby, no doubt anything he does wrong there will get over analysed.

wormy Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 My main worry of it all is Song better get punished for his bullshit. Can't blame the officials IMO. As someone else said, it took until the replays to work out exactly what Barton was going irate about. I wouldn't be surprised to see another Wolves performance from Barton next week. They go out and get told to wind him up to fuck, but he lets it off and has a good game. Just to try and prove that he's not the same old character after this. But I fear for beyond the mackems game.
