Burnley is a lovely and honourable club .. pity that this twat is sullying its good name .. when things get tough, Barton just can't deal with it .. read his 'autobiography' to get a taste of what a totally unpleasant and self justifying piece of rubbish he is .. Dyche should sack him, but I doubt he will, more is the pity
Trevor Sinclair sticking up for him on MOTD, making himself look a c**t
Good point Dave. Really like Sinclair's analysis and summaries on MOTD, but in defending Barton last night he just made himself look like a sycophantic arselicker.
only just watched this. the game loses credibility when players can get away with this, he needs a retrospective ban and fine for that but so does the lincoln player who went down holding his face after flanagan pushed him in the chest
Barton, the man who put a lighted cigarette into a young players eye whilst training. Cynical dive just brushing Rhead's arm. Hope the FA will punish this blatant cheating, but don't expect they will! Cant believe hardman Dyche has employed him!
Having read Joey's book I'd actually started to view him a bit differently. There was plenty of self reflection and admition of his problems. But ultimately actions speak louder than words and he's just let himself down again.
The 'stamp' happens 10 times a game at all levels of football...i have no issue with that. The rolling around on the floor after his head made contact with Rheads arm was awful though.
I have read (amd enjoyed) his book - it showed him in a different light
I agree. How can the football league allow Skybet to sponsor the league and then complain about gambling.
The league are not complaining about gambling - they are complaining about one of their registered footballers breaking the zero tolerance rules on them being allowed to gamble on football (any football).
He broke the rules - he knew he was breaking the rules - and he pays the price (on the heavy side I admit).
problem is he's retiring from football so he states .. this means more time to talk rubbish on the TV and radio about things of which he knows little ...

If anyone, anywhere, doubted how much of an arsehole Barton is, there can be no doubt now.

Joey Barton banned from football for 18 months after admitting FA misconduct charge relating to betting.
His response
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Very much deserved.
