Bristol Rovers Womens team, (if they have one), need to do what the Raith Womens team did when they hired a rapist. As well as the sponsors/board directors etc. Quit saying, "Any club that will willingly employ a man who kicks his wife in the head is not a club I want to play for/support/sponsor/etc." Coz Barton has form, and it is a terrible thing he is accused of doing. And sadly, unless the rest of the club/supporters etc. ark up about it, he will face no consequences for it.

I mean, that'll force them to look at the issue... But it can't be the answer that whenever some dipshit male rapist/abuser gets hired to a club, the female team's only recourse is to jeopardize their own careers to make a point.

maybe the male teammates should do the same thing and refuse to play alongside rapists and wifebeaters

remember the 3 or 4 weeks when Joey Barton was being held up as some sort of tortured intellectual who transcended football? I think it was during his stint at Rangers, can't be certain though. maybe when he was still at QPR.

I've never understood how he had a career. He put a cigar out in the eye of a youth team player, ran someone over, and beat up a teenage fan within a year while he was at Citeh, for fucks sake, and ended up in prison while at Newcastle for beating the poo poo out of someone *while on bail for assaulting a team mate at training*. Can you think of any other job on earth (apart from possibly TV presenting) where you'd not find yourself down the job centre the very next day after any single one of the incidents that he's been involved in? If he was some Ronaldo-level talent I could at least understand, although still hate, the amount of second chances he got and apparently continues to get, but he's a journeyman winger who lashes out as much at his own team mates as the opposition. If nothing else it doesn't make economic sense because he spends so long suspended (or in prison), and the rules say you can only get fined 2 weeks wages for that - you're literally paying him not to play. Hell if a player had spent as long *injured* as he's spent unable to play for disciplinary reasons you'd release them.

Yes but he wore rather nice spectacles for awhile and learned the bare minimum of eight (8) French words when he played abroad, ergo he was leagues ahead of any other British player and should be celebrated as a modern intellectual.

blue footed boobie posted:Did anyone actually buy this schtick? I thought we all just silently agreed that it was mildly amusing because he was such a dickhead. No one here did, I’d imagine but the worst part is that A) he certainly bought into his own bullshit B) clearly others bought into it since he got more chances and favorable press about it The high-profile and incredibly lovely incidents like the cigar on a youth team player’s eye then a couple years later, assaulting another teammate so badly he suffered a detached retina are well known but re-reading his Wikipedia, it’s just a litany of idiotic reactions punctuated with violently aggressive assault that I had mostly forgotten about. Now more than ever, any one of these should have been more than enough to have him no longer playing any professional sport but he kept getting chance after chance so of course he’s going to keep hurting people. A few of the lowlights: quote:Barton would have made his debut for the City first team in November 2002 against Middlesbrough, had he not lost his shirt after leaving it on the substitutes bench at half-time. He eventually made his first-team debut for the club against Bolton Wanderers on 5 April 2003. So because he was too thick to keep track of his loving shirt, it delayed his first team debut for 5 months. quote:An FA Cup match against Tottenham saw Barton receive the first red card of his career in unusual circumstances: at half-time, with his club 3–0 down, he argued with the referee and was sent off although the match was not in progress. lol quote:The suspended six-match ban was nearly brought into action when Barton appeared to flick Aston Villa striker Gabriel Agbonlahor in the club's next match, but the FA decided not to punish Barton. However, further allegations that Barton had made a racist remark to Agbonlahor were cause enough for the FA to reconsider this decision. The remarks remain unfounded and 'professional lip-readers' claimed he said nothing racist. He did a racism after picking on a black opposition player but people couldn’t make it out on video so he got away with it quote:Shearer said he made a mistake putting Barton back into the team, and that his tackle was "a coward's tackle", to which Barton replied that he was "the best player at the club", and Shearer had to play him. Shearer said that Barton was not, and that he was "poo poo". When Dowie intervened, Barton called him "a prick". I’m the best, says the insane aggro guy to the retired club legend quote:Barton replied that Shearer was "a poo poo manager with poo poo tactics". worst_person_you_know_just_made_a_great_point.png Ok he falls out with everyone at Newcastle, has served multiple bans AND jail time for his various assaults, surely he will be viewed as toxic and not signed by a new club, rig- quote:He was handed the captain's armband by manager Neil Warnock on his debut with the club gently caress you, Colin quote:Henry and Barton had a previous physical confrontation in August 2010 when Barton was still at Newcastle. Barton accused Henry of "trying to hurt people".  quote:On 13 May, on the final day of the season, with QPR requiring at least a draw in their match away at Manchester City or for Bolton Wanderers to not win in order to guarantee Premier League safety, Barton was sent off in the 55th minute for violent misconduct after elbowing Carlos Tevez in the face. Immediately after being shown a red card, he kicked Sergio Agüero in the back of the knee and attempted to head-butt Vincent Kompany. Barton had to be dragged from the pitch by former teammate Micah Richards as he rowed with Manchester City players and staff and attempted to square-off with striker Mario Balotelli. QPR went on to concede two late goals and lose the match 3–2 Because of this dickhead, City finally won the title to validate their gilded existence and to later inflict The Bald Fraud upon us Just on and on, it goes. Dude is a absolute psycho who has been given so many chances and should have been playing football solely in the prison yard, not professionally for millions of pounds. Somehow I sadly don’t see him facing any consequences for assaulting his own wife given the dozens of other slaps of the wrist that we know about, let alone the dozens of smaller ones that have undoubtedly taken place but people didn’t want to make a fuss or create a problem over reporting. In closing, gently caress Joey Barton with a lit cigar.

It was him: "You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star." It worked because football media isn't very good. I still sometimes see Cantona's "When the seagulls follow the trawler..." discussed as a gnomic piece of wisdom, rather than a fairly basic metaphor.

Went from 5 points clear at the top to winning one of their next 7 and throwing the league and never came close since
