thebluenose Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 yeh a great rolemodel on how to assault people. face it barton your a no use thug who doesnt deserve the vast wealth you do. you sicken me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dark Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 "My reputation will precede me until the day I die and for some people that can't come soon enough," he added. Barton, who was jailed for assault and affray earlier this year, could return to action against Sunderland on Saturday after finishing a six-game ban for assaulting Ousmane Dabo in 2007 when he was at Manchester City. "There's going to be young kids who look at the likes of Michael Owen and Beckham, who are unbelievable professionals, squeaky clean, and they can't relate to them," Barton told BBC Radio 5 Live. "I've met people on the street, met people while I was in prison, and they can relate to you. He is a thug, and to be honest he has been given enough chances and somehow I do agree with him, he's been in jail and done some really sickening things and that's never going away. But he can now relate to the kids on the street. He has done things that everyone shoulden't and if he's stopping people being like him then thats a good thing. IMO this is a fresh start for Joey. Out of prison and helping others stay clear of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted October 23, 2008 Report Share Posted October 23, 2008 As much as he is a dick he is a very honest person, look at any of his interviews he opens up, says what he has done and all. I hope he goes on to be a rolemodel and forget his past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted October 24, 2008 Report Share Posted October 24, 2008 I agree with Aaron. He has acted like a prick for, what would seem, most of his life. But he could be a role model if he can put all the shit behind him and actually start acting anything near to a decent human being. A big ask I know but it would be unfair to deny anyone a a new chance in life. Personally I think he'll piss it all up the wall and get into a few more fights, but you never know, he could end up surprising a few people. Chances are slim though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaron Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 im feeling sorry for him now, cant even warm up without people trying to get at him, had to be moved as someone tried to get to him, police stopped him so barton just wanted to shake hands with the fella to say no hard feelings and it kicked off from there. Barton had to go and train outside the dug out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 a lot of people know im a big joey barton fan, on the pitch, off the pitch there isnt much to like, but i really hope he can turn his life around and then when hes has a few years off the drink and out of the cells and the front pages he can start giving back to the organisations that have tried, and failed, to help him.

dark Posted October 25, 2008 Report Share Posted October 25, 2008 I know I'm going to split the forum with this one, and you'll probably try and suspend me but I actually would like to see him in a blue shirt come January. I think he's a really under-rated footballer, due to all the crap he gets involved in. He's tarred as 'That nobhead psycho that punches people' whereas he just seems to me like a mad Duncan Ferguson. Even though Barton is ten times worse people forget how good of a footballer he is. If he can get his head sorted and win some fans then I'm sure teams will be queing to aquire his signature.

StevO Posted October 26, 2008 Report Share Posted October 26, 2008 i said the same thing many a time, until the trouble in town. id let the dabo thing go as im sure that player fight on the training ground everyday, maybe it went a bit far, but the assault in town really brings the player, and his club, into negative publicity and sets a very bad example. two years ago id have loved the lad to be in a blue shirt, but he'd have to do a lot to make me feel that way again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 'That nobhead psycho that punches people' whereas he just seems to me like a mad Duncan Ferguson. What's the difference? Anyway, seems he nicked the penalty against West Brom last night. Ameobi is Newcastle's penalty taker but apparently Barton, "grabbed hold of it." Showed "bottle" according to Kinnear, although "he'd have been in trouble if he'd missed." Typical playground, kids football bully stuff imo, and very poor managment by Kinnear if he doesn't give him a bollocking behind closed doors.

Typical playground, kids football bully stuff imo, and very poor managment by Kinnear if he doesn't give him a bollocking behind closed doors. Pretty similar to Yakubu against Portsmouth. I think he should let Barton off just this once. He coulden't warm up and he's trying to get on the right road. I think he saw the chance to score and coulden't resist it. I don't think he snatched the ball. He probably told Ameobi that he wanted to take it - Ameobi said OK - he took it and scored. 1-0 Newcastle. Great player and glad to see him doing well.

sheedys2fingers Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Can't believe what I'm reading here. This is a fella who stubs cigars out in a young kids eye. Kicks shit out of a young lad on a night out and we've all seen the clip of it. A 16 year old lad, probably just being a bit gobby and as a result got his teeth literally smashed out. Ye okay, footballers fight all the time on the training ground and when you think there's a squad of 20+, you're not going to get along with all of them but to take it to the extremes he did was way way OTT Even when the police were hunting down his brother, he did a press statement to encourage his brother to come forward and hand himself in. The right thing to do. Yes of course it was so why did he have to include in the message to his brother that they grew up seperately. Did his brother not all ready know this. To me it was a statement to say to everyone else 'look we didn't grow up together so don't tarnish me with the same brush'. Fuckin' pathetic The thing that really annoys me is that after every time he does things he says the same things i.e. I'm gonna be a changed man and a good role model for kids etc etc etc he does it again. Gotta feeling some people here are being sympathetic to him cos he's a local lad but if he was from somewhere else would the same sympathies still exist. Doubt it. As for being in a blue shirt, Moyes didn't want him. Not for his footballing skills cos he is a good player but do you really want someone whinging to the press about his team mates every other week. Worked for Roy Keane cos he was a godlike figure at Old Trafford and the fans agreed with him. Has never worked for Joey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 enough bad press, deserved, has been written about him, i dont think he really needs anymore or his past dragging up again. i dont think anyone feels sorry for him. we all make mistakes, i know i have, and if im honest ive not changed and ive repeated my mistakes. i think people might want to see joey turn his life round maybe due to their own inability to do the same. just an idea anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troy8 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Suspended from Newcastle until further notice http://www.premierleague.com/page/Headline...1648592,00.html Apparently it's not to do with the red card he got on the weekend, not all that hard to believe but I think it would have had a lot to do with it. Also, we should feel for Xabi Alonso, I think this is the 6th time this season a player has been sent off for a tackle on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dark Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 It's obvious why he has been suspended. Newcastle don't want to be handling him whilst they are trying to keep themselves from Premiership faggotry. Their whole club is run poorly and the board are one of the worst around. Through the fans and background staff it's just a whole joke and it would be a good thing for them to get themsevles put through the trapdoor. Barton is a good footballer but things like this just make him look bad. Haven't seen the challenge in detail so I can't really say. From the sounds of it he deserves the red card, I'm with the above posts and am still a fan. He's awesome Would be great to have him at Everton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamiemaher85 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 (edited) He was on his last chance about 10 chances ago. If we'd picked him up before he went to Newcastle then maybe it could have worked, but to much water has been under that bridge now. He is trouble. He will not change now. He'd do the same at Everton as he has done every else he has been. Show flashes of his talent and then spoil it all with a few moments of stupidity, whether that is on or off the pitch I do not know. I don't want to see him in an Everton shirt, and Moyes would not go near him in my opinion. He has more sense than that.

dark Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) They could totally make a film about Barton. I'd bloody watch it December - Stubbed a lit cigar into the eye of young team-mate Jamie Tandy during club's Christmas party. Fined six weeks' wages by City. Forced to pay four weeks' salary - approximately £60,000 - immediately, with a further two weeks suspended for a year. Feel sorry for that incident though. Anyone know what happened to ol' Jamie? Edit: He was booted out of the Premiership club by then-boss Keegan months after the incident and drifted into non-league football. Now 23, he supplements his modest pay from Bradford Park Avenue by working as an industrial window cleaner. Apparantly he's not too fond of Barton's football.
