I didn’t think ‘scally’ was much of an insult and in Joey Barton’s case it’s more of a compliment.

 

that does not warrant a head butt, punching and disfiguring a person does it?

 

Given the amount of filming that goes on around the team, was the [alleged] assault caught on film?

The version I've heard is that Stendel was attacked from behind and had his head slammed against a wall and was then punched whilst out of it on the way down. I've taken that with a pinch of salt as there are only a few people actually saw it.

IF that was what happened then Joey is looking at jail time so far as I'm concerned. Just in case there's any lawyers looking at this thread - I'm not making any allegations and fully accept that this could be complete nonsense cooked up and have no truth in it at all.
