Yorkie Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 First of all, not saying i agree with his sentiment. But, if he's behaving himself on the training ground and doing the goods on the pitch, then he can say what he likes in the papers for all i am concerned. He hasn't broken any laws there, even though it is a bit boisterous. We could do with some character. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't broken any laws there, even though it is a bit boisterous. We could do with some character. I agree, but it's better to produce on the pitch before you go gobbing off in the press. He's done very little in his career in all honesty to be criticising others and the way he messed about trying to get 300K out of city/us was pure greed and hypocrisy. Barton has qualities which could make him very successful or a major mistake for us. He reminds me of Bowyer but with better technique. Bowyer was supposed to be our 'driving, goalscoring midfielder' who gave 110%, flew into tackles and got into bother off the pitch and eventually on it. Barton is worryingly similar, though hopefully the circumstances (better manager etc) mean he'll fare better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I presume you mean they're alike because of their off field behavior because there are little similarities on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 I worry that, despite the fact that he seems a reasonably intelligent bloke, he's accusing Pearce of precisely what he himself has been doing. If you want to be outspoken, fine, but you can't then complain about others doing the same. It seems that he likes to dish it out, but can't take it. Unless he learns to be aware of other people's views, all this anger management stuff won't work. In his eyes, he's always going to be in the right.

The former Manchester City midfielder is charged with occasioning actual bodily harm after its claimed he repeatedly punched French international Ousmane Dabo, 30, in the face during a row at City's Carrington training ground. The 24-year-old, who now plays for Newcastle, appeared at Minshull Street Crown Court this morning after the case was unexpectedly brought forward by court officials. Barton - dressed in black jeans, trainers and dark jacket - pleaded not guilty to the charge. Judge Leslie Hull allowed Barton unconditional bail during the brief three minute hearing. Prosecution lawyers wanted the trial dealt with earlier than June but agreed to the summer hearing because of Barton's commitments as a professional footballer. Former city manager Stuart Pearce and former City captain and Blues defender Sylvain Distin are expected to give evidence at the trial. If convicted the £40,000-a-week footballer of Fox Bank Close, Widnes, Cheshire, faces a maximum five years in jail. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest RodrigoPalacio Posted November 20, 2007 Share Posted November 20, 2007 Realistically could he go to jail? That would be utter shite if he did like. Would we be due some sort of compensation of whatever? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we be due some sort of compensation of whatever? Theoretically, i think he could. But he won't. And no, we would get no compensation, why would we? There still seems to be this opinion that he can be great for us. I can only assume that the people saying this never really watched him play before, or accept that we are going to remain a mid table team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judges within minshull are generally seem to give much harder punishments. I believe recent celebs to go to the other crown were diouf, keane.

Dokko Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 Barton pays Man City youngster £65,000 Published Date: 01 December 2009 Magpie midfielder Joey Barton will pay £65,000 in compensation to a former trainee who had a cigar stubbed out in his face. Manchester City player Jamie Tandy made a civil claim for damages against Barton, who assaulted him at the club's Christmas party in 2004. No police action was taken at the time, but Barton was hit with a £60,000 fine by his former club, and subsequently apologised for his actions. Mr Tandy, 25, claimed he suffered "major pyschiatric deterioration" after the assault. He had claimed £500,000. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
