Joey Barton

[yasminandrio]

Dont talk like a ****
He wants banning for life and doesnt deserve any club in my book.
John Terry didnt try an assault half a team theres no excuse its why they are called Professional footballers.

Andy.

Everyone has there own opinion but banning for life have a word, I can think of 3 EPL players this season which have done thing worst than Barton this season and they have had lesser bans!! Its cause its Joey Barton and Thats what it is!! and yes he has built a rod for his own back and i no that!! but 12 match ban FFS

[skegsagypsy]

Barton needs kicked out of the game, he's a thug no more no less.

Whether Tevez started it or not the football pitch isn't a school playground. Fair enough he got his own back on Tevez, but then he lashes out at Aguero and Kompany, he's lucky he got 12 games not harsh.

I thought 12 games was a bit harsh... After all he only done the argies

We see player lash out all the time in the EPL and CL and at most they get 3-4 games ban for violent conduct!! he only got a 12 match ban cause it's Joey Barton, I dont like the guy and to be fair zee a football pitch is more like a school play ground than any other profession out there, lots of similarities week in week out, I could list a whole lot for you, but i could start off a lot of topics that we have already been over this season!! I think you know what i am talking about.

Hi

He is a thug no ore no less. Things happen on a football field but he took it further than he should.

Think you are referring to a certain player using a certain word and got 8 matches...... if you are then well in my book this exceeded that by a long way.

Had he just took the sending off and walked then ok can live with that but its his conduct after that cannot be accepted.

I actually used to like his tweets and stuff thought he had a point on some things but I dont think this punishment has anything to do with his name just his actions after.

My opinion but I think he has got away lightly should have been more.

Regards

usually players/ people learn from they're mistakes in life, this moron doesn't seem to ever learn. Just take his tweets after this incident happend.

What about Terry Suarez Balotelli Rooney to name a few this season and past seasons who haven't learnt from there mistakes, the list could go on..... it's his name.
@mast racism is as bad as assault i think the maximum prison term is 6 month for racial abuse under section 4a of the public order act 1986 and for common assault which is what joey barton would of got done for if any charges were brought about the maximum sentance would of been 6 months in prison also, Section 39, so going by that there on a par!!

Hi

Agree full on racism is bad and shouldnt be condoned but in LS case Im not convinced it was racism despite the way its been seen but dont think we should be going over old ground.

As zee says as long as you learn from your mistakes then fine but barton just doesnt learn from his mistakes does he in fact he seems to take it up a level everytime he is involved in something.

Got to say one thing about Joey Barton. He certainly isn't boring. He give's you something new every time.

Referee Mike Dean has revealed he would have sent off Carlos Tevez if he had been afforded a full view of the clash between the Manchester City striker and QPR midfielder Joey Barton on the final day of the Premier League season.

Barton was on Wednesday handed a 12-match ban for his dismissal and violent reaction at the Etihad Stadium on May 13, when City beat QPR 3-2 to win their first league title for 44 years.

QPR have said that Barton, now the subject of an investigation by his club following the incident, would not appeal against that decision.

Later, the Football Association published the full report by the independent regulatory commission into the case, which revealed Barton's ban was divided into a four-match ban for the dismissal for elbowing Tevez, given it was his second red card of the season, a five-match punishment for kicking out at Sergio Aguero, and a three-match punishment for attempting to headbutt Vincent Kompany.

Tevez appeared to strike out at Barton initially, and Dean, via video link, told the regulatory commission that it was a red-card offence which had gone unnoticed.

In the report, which is signed by commission chairman B.M Jones, it is stated that: 'Mr Dean was questioned about the "Tevez" incident for which Mr Barton was dismissed.It was confirmed that neither the referee nor the assistant saw the alleged incident of Mr Tevez striking Mr Barton although Mr Barton immediately made representations to Mr Dean that is what happened, and such comments by Mr Barton can be clearly seen in the video.

'The commission accept that Mr Barton was aggrieved by the action of Mr Tevez and Mr Dean confirmed that had the incident been seen by the officials as shown by the clip supplied by Mr Barton, it would have been an automatic red card.

'The commission find that this does not however excuse the subsequent action by Mr Barton in relation to Messrs Kompany or Aguero.

lets face it if Tevez farted you'd be calling for his head,
it's a shame you wasn't so vociferous about Rooney when he elbowed McCarthy in the face at wigan.

City not bitter just better.

[zee24]

So does this mean Tevez will get a 3 match ban coz the ref n linesman failed to see what he did?

also well said @tshirtman i totally agree m8...

[SIMPLY THE BEST]

The guy doesn't do himself any favours but a 12 match ban for what he did seems a bit excessive, i seem to remember 1 of the dirtiest players ever in Roy Keane only getting a 3 match ban at the time when he did Alf Inge Haland don't tell me what Barton done was anywhere near as bad as that ! wasn't even close.

But as i say the guy does not do himself any favours but the 12 match ban was to much for what he did.

[southpaw83]

A thug, pure and simple.

Thing is he can play football, it's not like he's a clogger signed purely to injure people like Terry Hurlock or Kevin Muscat, he's got ability. He just chooses to parade around like an animal.

Disgusting
