Since my spinal cord op I’ve always had trouble using my hands, as I can’t feel them, and I find hitting the right keys on my phone quite difficult at times, so I’ve taken to pressing the little button in the corner and dictating texts, etc. That’s why I am always grateful when people like Joey Barton come along, who are so considerate towards people like me, cos whenever I want to describe him I only need to press 4 letters.
Bloke has gone beyond 'misguided' comments to all-out *****. He's now deliberately making inflammatory statements to get fully 'cancelled' and a gig on GB News. He's best ignored, he loves the publicity.
Never get a job in football again ... as @BrunNer said best ignored but will end up on Gbnews because they lap this stuff up. Him and Julia Hartley Brewer after breaking Twitter today
I’d love him to get another job, but only at a team I hate. I find it reassuring when teams like Millwall are managed by Neil Harris, or Sheffield United are managed by Kevin Blackwell. When you get things like Darren Moore at Wednesday or Redders at Leeds it messes with my head. So Joey Barton, Leeds manager, is something I could deal with, particularly as he’d also do the job badly. Leeds United being managed by someone who can actually make the club worse in every aspect sounds fun.
Hopefully he'll be charged this time. Communications act 2003: Persistently using a public communications network for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another (s.127(2)(c) CA 2003) Under s.127(2)(c) CA 2003, a person may be guilty of an offence by persistently making use of a public communications network for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another person.
He’s crossed a line today. He’s now in Laurence Fox / Andrew Tate territory. Horrible, vicious, misogynistic scumbag.
I’ve just watched a Podcast on YouTube, Danny mills talking about Barton when they were at Man City, He says that Barton punched a player and knock him out cold, he continued to punch him in the head while said player was out cold, Barton is one despicable human being
Not a single club will go anywhere near him now. He's about as toxic as they come. Absolute cuπt of the highest order.
It’s kind of a relief really. Obviously there will be people who find it funny/admirable but there will be far more who find yesterday’s posts a step too far. Hopefully he’s just ensured he never gets a another job in football again.
I think he knows he’s done in football now. He’s gone full scorched earth and is now targeting a completely different market. I’m personally not relieved, because he has platforms to spout his bile to millions of people. At least in football, he had to keep all this under his hat. I worry about the knock on effect all this will have, with his ‘followers’.
just the first part. He's had more opportunities than most to access professional help! Offering Gary Neville out now! Seriously though, I am worried for his wife and kids, at least they had some peace when he was away managing Bristol.
Obviously Neville never would but it would be quite funny if someone actually did turn round and say OK, let’s do it for charity etc, like a white collar boxing event.
Too much publicity for the waste of oxygen. He's a little snivelling coward , but won't be in football management or punditry again!
The guys flipped. Completely. Wouldn't be surprised to hear he's been found hanging in his bedroom, or found in a fume filled car in the next week or so. I mean I wouldn't wish that on anyone, not even that despicable k00nt, but a switch has been flicked somewhere and I fear the outcome.
It’s more likely that he’ll carry out some violent spree against women of at least convince others to in his name.
