internationalsfan Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Absolutely shocked, he always seemed like a classy gentleman.
Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted July 25, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 25, 2021 When will this man turn a corner? Disgusting if true and if it is should be sacked immediately.
Smiley Culture Posted July 25, 2021 Author Posted July 25, 2021 His wife, apparently. Not that it would be any better against a stranger but fuck me, he’s an absolute moron.
Subscriber Dan+ Posted July 25, 2021 Subscriber Posted July 25, 2021 He'll never turn a corner. If he was going to he would've by now.
Whiskey Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 Started reading his autobiography a few years ago and stopped midway through Chapter 2. Came across as really self centred, arrogant and dismissive.
DeadLinesman Posted July 25, 2021 Posted July 25, 2021 He and that ex Man City youth player Giggs are disgusting creatures.
Dr. Gonzo Posted March 18, 2022 Posted March 18, 2022 1 hour ago, Stan said: Absolute scum What a cunt. But he's always been a cunt and his family are absolute twats tbh. It's definitely a case of "the shit doesn't fall far from the arsehole" with the Bartons - shit parenting led to shit Bartons like Joey and his murderer brother.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ Posted October 31, 2022 Subscriber Posted October 31, 2022 Quote Joey Barton cleared of assaulting his wife Georgia Former Premier League footballer Joey Barton has been cleared of assaulting his wife after a judge ruled he could not have a fair trial. The prosecution at Wimbledon Magistrate's Court refused to call Georgia Barton to give evidence over fears she would give an "exculpatory account" to help her husband. Mr Barton, who now manages Bristol Rovers, was accused of pushing Mrs Barton to the floor and kicking her. He was arrested last year. The alleged assault took place at the couple's home in in Kew, south-west London in June 2021 while they were having "a drunken row", the court heard. Body-worn police footage played in court captured Mrs Barton saying: "I was pushed and kicked about and stuff." The officer noted "a bit of a lump and some blood". Prosecutor Daniel O'Donoghue said footage of Mr Barton's arrest shows he was "clearly intoxicated"' 'Accidental injury' Mr Barton, who played for teams including Manchester City, Newcastle, Queens Park Rangers and Marseille, as well as making one appearance for England in 2007, denied assault by beating. His wife declined to make a written witness statement but during earlier legal argument, the court heard Mrs Barton had written a letter to prosecutors, claiming she and her husband had been drinking "about four or five bottles of wine each" with two other couples. She said she wasn't sure what she said to police was totally accurate and explained that her injury was caused accidentally when friends intervened in the argument. Mr O'Donoghue said: "The prosecution maintain she would not be a credible witness and has put forward an exculpatory account in order to assist Mr Barton and undermine the comments made on the evening, which we say are very clear on the video." However, District Judge Andrew Sweet said the CPS could compel Mrs Barton to give evidence or treat her as a hostile witness. "I am satisfied the position adopted by the Crown not to take a statement or call Mrs Barton is at odds with the case law," he said. "I am satisfied Mr Barton would be unable to achieve a fair trial in these circumstances and the proceedings are stayed." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-63463161
