I don't understand the quibbling over the specifics.

Dude showed his dick to an underage girl. Sent at the very least flirty messages to her, and (allegedly) engaged in sexual acts with her.

He has admitted as much, but is still trying to get the last inch of innocence/wriggle room.

Behaviour like that is common at the races.

I went to the Melbourne Cup one year, and it was literally the 7th circle of a filth laden hell. Bogans in footy shorts and tuxedos, women passed out in the grass in their own piss.

Not defending the footballers, they acted like ... well footballers. But to clutch ones pearls and claim taht such things are unseen at the horse races is disingenuous.

Where did this happen? I mean I know it happened in the hotel room, but what city/country?

Also, if I am parsing it correctly, Nasri's girlfriend thought he was looking a little malnourished/dehydrated, so decided to call the ring-an-intravenous-drip people, and ordered one to his hotel room. The nurse was pretty, so Nasri hosed her, much to the chagrin of the girlfriend who was footing the bill.

I can't be the only one that thinks a service that offers pretty nurses to come to your hotel room and give you an intravenous drip is ever so slightly dodgy. Nor can I be the only one who thinks that if your girlfriend orders a medical type person to your room for you, your first response should not be to ask her how much for "full service".

edit: I just looked it up and it was in LA. So maybe this service is just a front for escorts. As in they send a girl with the IV to your room, and if you are a cop, the company can claim that they are a legitimate medical operation, but if you are up for "full service" then you pay the girl directly.

Not an actual footballer, but a footballer's relative, so I suppose it belongs here. Australian national team player's father stabs his brother in law to death, then runs away and hides in Australia for 17 years. Is eventually busted when he admits to have killed a man to a suicide help-line.

Also, is there something I am missing regarding Roma being a predominantly Jewish team/town/supporter group? Otherwise why would the Lazio Ultras use anti-semitism against them? Or do they just like being racist for shits and giggles.

The lovely thing about this isn't the ban, which he has already served, for what is at worst a recreational drug. Although that is a different argument to be had.

In this case, the lovely thing is, the bloke has served his ban, and they are deliberately extending it just to gently caress him out of a World Cup. The first World Cup his country has qualified for in the players lifetime.

And the reasoning they are giving for extending the ban is "well, even if he wasn't fully at fault, he was ever so slightly to blame. So we are giving him extra punishment on top of what we have already done."

All of which is unreasonably harsh and lovely for the lad.

I think, (I hope), it was one of the kids friends idea, and not someone high up at the football club.

Because if it was a kid trying to stand up for his friend, then it's a sweet, stupid, misguided thing.

For me, its the question of "Why?".

I mean the "haha Asian people have slanty eyes, and this cone looks like one of those bamboo hats." is a racist joke, but I can see a stupid, dumbarse racist footballer doing it at training as a goof and having their equally racist dumbarse friends laugh at it. Footballers are ignorant and stupid. News at eleven.

But why in the name of all that is holy would you take a posed photo of it and post it on the clubs official twitter? There are several steps in that process where, even if you aren't saying "this is racist", you are at least saying "this is not a good look", or "this is a bad idea".

Who should get into trouble for that?
The players?
The Argentine Football Administrators for selecting the players, and/or allowing them to be on the pitch?
The Premier League clubs for making them play in England/not giving enough time off so they could do their quarantine in Brazil?

Coz any and all of those people should have known about Brazil's quarantine rules long before the match, and either done something about it, or just not be picked for the game.

Also, who and what authorities will be doing the charging? FIFA will probably do a little punishing/fining of the teams/countries involved, but more importantly making a false declaration to immigration must surely be a federal crime, (I dunno Brazilian law as well as I should), so the players must surely face some sort of consequences for that. How will this affect their future international travel/work visas?

Regarding the Raith Rovers situation:

Are the sponsors that left over them signing the rapist coming back? Is the womens team coming back, or are they still pursuing playing under a different club name? Is the director that tried to stop them from signing a rapist who resigned, is he coming back? And all questions of this nature

Also, so they signed a rapist, when people arked up they defended signing the rapist, waited a bit and then apologized for signing the rapist? Have they even apologized, or have they just said he is not with the club anymore. This seems to me to be just staggering incompetence at all levels, and at all stages of the process.

Coz, as has been said, just not playing the rapist is not good enough. The damage to the club, the clubs reputation, and indeed the clubs finances and staff has already been done. And, (as also has already been said), was the rapist that good a footballer to justify this in the first place? Coz, lets not forget, signing a known rapist is bad enough as it is, but the club then publicly defended signing said rapist against the rightfully angry groups of supporters/womens team captain/club directors etc.

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.

With this kind of stuff, the bigots/morons/ideologues who refuse to do it should have a spotlight on them, and they need to be prepared to explain themselves publicly.
