You interpreted that from "saw no malice in it from first glance" did you?
I'm imagining his second glance of it close up would have probably brought another opinion.

I'm sure you would if your interpretation remains the same.

There's no 'interpretation' from me.
He uses the words 'landed on' and 'it's a physical game'.

Joey Barton tweet only 2 years ago- We might be crap. We may well be really over rated but at least we don't have to live in Burnley!

Nothing in it in terms of.... Scouse thug villain **** tries stamping the poor innocent Brighton player's leg to dust.

Why are you defending him? All he did before joining you lot was slag Burnley off on social media.
Have you lot already forgotten the bottle of coke which hit his head? I hope not as it was a very proud moment to be a Burnley fan.

Barton is a @u^t of the highest order......he knows how to blind-side the ref and is a nasty , unlikeable character , unless he plays for your team. In which case he is , no doubt a ****in hero.......

I'm not defending him, I don't need to. If as an adult you can't take a bit of stick (Burnley fans were giving it plenty on social media to him at the time ) then football and what it entails isn't for the easily offended.
The bottle was a great shot though.

I don't know if it takes a part of a season to be a hero at Brighton, but it takes considerably longer than that to be a hero at Burnley.

How long does it take at Burnley?

Just long enough to be the Champions of England.
That's why Bolton and West Ham don't have any heroes.

Bobby Moore not good enough for Burnley?
When were you Champions of England? We were Champions in 1910.

A bit of a WHOOOOSH there Megazone, never mind.
1960 was when we were Champions.
Edit - Sorry and 1921 as well

It didn't look a foul to me either, and I had a decent view from the WSU - Dunk took the ball cleanly and Barton only fell over after he'd gone.

I used to like Barton, but he was a disgrace yesterday, not only the stamp, but he was in the refs ear all game. I actually feel sorry for him. I always think of the Peter Sellers character Chauncy Gardner in the film
Being There, which is about a simpleton who made quotes and people thought he was a genius, but he was as thick as 2 bricks.

I rewound it 3 or 4 times last night and it really looks like Dunk got there cleanly enough not to be penalised. Shame because I'd been thinking how well we'd done at not giving away free-kicks in those areas compared to previous games. For all the Burnley fans saying people were only making a fuss yesterday because it was Barton, I think quite the opposite. His reputation actually seemed to work in his favour - the ref convinced himself we were trying to use that reputation to get him sent off. I can't recall ever seeing a player have the officials so much in his pocket. If a less high profile player like Dale Stephens had behaved like that throughout there were probably 3 occasions when he'd have been booked (for fouling, persistent fouling and dissent) and 1 or 2 straight reds.
