[Football] Joey Barton

[Cheshire Cat]

That ITV announcement is a bit misguided in my view. He is after attention. Don't give it to him.

It's also a shit analogy. Fred and Rose West were never on Comms for a Palace game and I was always under the impression Fred was a bloke. The absolute plank. I preferred it when he quoted Nietzsche

He seems to turned into someone sitting alone in a dark room in unwashed underpants, surrounded by old moulding empty pizza boxes, shouting at the TV screen.

Anyone remember how Leon Knight ended up?

Bit of a cock
Bit of a ****
Bit of a tit
Bit of an arse.

A royal flush anatomically-derived disparagement.

It's been a long week

If you look at his career he only really gets attention by kicking out.

Very very strange turn of events, only a few years ago he was stuck his head above the parapet regarding homophobia in football.

Now having a complete breakdown regarding pundits... pundits.

What's particularly odd about the toys out the pram reaction to women presenting sport is that for years it's been dominated by male presenters/commentators who have never kicked a ball in an anger.

You introduce women who have actually played the game and Baron has a meltdown, whilst bringing into question diversity, equality and inclusion generally.

In any career you play by "their rules", just like football.

What a way to completely f*** any form of media career you may have thought of having you f***ing thick idiot.

Well done ITV Sport protecting its employees like that.

 

[Napper]

He’s gone about this the wrong way to raise some probably valid points

He will be cancelled shortly

Twitter allows people to post stuff like that?

Jesus wept, glad I never got involved.

 

[dazzer6666]

He’s gone full raving hatstand. ****t.

He’s gone full raving hatstand. ****t.

Or to put it another way. He's gone the full Laurence Fox. At least neither will have any sort of career for the foreseeable.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I haven't changed my opnion from post #204, but I'm not ruling out some sort of mental health crisis (even though he's been shown to be a complete berk on many occasions over the years.

He's started on Gary Neville, too.

Stubbing a cigar out in a youth player’s eye in 2004, shows he has been mental for a long time. A crisis indicates a single occurence.

It didn’t until Musk took over.

Quite so.

2 weeks ago, he was ranting about SPOTY. On the NSC thread (post 273) https://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/threads/bbc-sports-personality-2023.405275/page-14, I posted that he had 2.7m followers on X.

A fortnight later, he's now up to 2.8m.

By giving him the publicity, they're playing into his hands and encouraging him to do more of the same. It's clearly working.

Ignore the troll. He's been an irrelevance for years.

Well, yes. I meant a more recent/rapid spiral that is very public. As I wrote before, he's always clearly had issues of some sort.

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

FFs, I’ve only just seen Barton’s comments. The female commentators last night at least had the ability/courage to speak their minds eloquently on the ridiculous sending off decision. Barton is (apologies Bozza) just a CU@T.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

I don't think I understand that.

Nor me. But I'll take the apology, whatever it was for!

 

[A1X]

The worrying thing is there’ll still be people out there lauding him or defending him because “he raises valid points” or similar horseshit

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Not sure he's doing anything to be 'cancelled' from. He'll have his little podcast, which will still appeal to a certain section of society, so I'm sure he'll be OK in that little echo chamber.

 

[herecomesaregular]

Without social media this silly man would be sermonising to his own echoes in the arches on the seafront. Have to wonder why someone would "follow" him ffs. How many of the 2.8m also follow Matt Le Tizz?

 

[ManOfSussex]

That's now. In an hour he could have gone total ****head.
