Get This Thug Out Of The Game!

He is a mindless thug, he deserves the book to be thrown at him.

The guy has serious anger problems and will never change. Its in his genes. Didnt his brother murder someone?!

Yeah although he claimed he didnt know his brother that well and he is his own person. Then he started saying that there is a higher being in life and this is what his meant to do, and has always felt different...... it was on that inside sport interview anyone watch it? He has got some big issues

Part two....

You only have to listen to the yob in his interview and you can see its all me me me, he is so stuck up his own ar*e and has the mentality of a gand land yob !! I hope they throw the book at him.

I agree when you think of Newcastle you normally smile because of all sorts things not least their role as the soap opera of football. However there is nothing funny about Barton he is nasty and seems to be unable to control himself. The sooner he is out of football the better it will be.

It looked to me like Shaun was giving back as good as he was getting. Barton is a thug though and needs to be out. Glad wee Shaun stuck up for himself rather than running to teacher.

To be fair most toon army boys i know weren't too chuffed when fat sam signed barton and smith. Two angry men with not enough skill between them for this league.

I've had the dubious preveldge via my job to see the CCTV footage of him in the liverpool assault incident over christmas. He confronts 2 guys, punches one to the ground and then chases the other. When he catches him he knocks him to the ground, then goes back to the first guy, who's still lying on the floor. This guy puts his arms up at him in an obviously passive gesture. Barton then punches him a further 3 times. On what grounds the decision was made that he's not a risk to the public, on or off the playing field, is a mystery to me.

lorenzo - the sad truth is that if you have money they let you off lightly. I see it all the time. makes me sick.

please stop judging him so easily. i personally think he is trying to change and he also gets more hatred because of his brother. he is hot tempered that is his problem. he can work on it you know.

Just watched those youtube videos kris posted. Its funny isn't it? Joey Barton is punished because of his reputation all the time. I almost feel sorry for him. Obviously he's inncocent! It was his reputation, not him, that floored Maloney on saturday. it must have been his reputation, not him, that attacked those men in liverpool. He really hasn't done anything! He just has a bad reputation, he's never done anything wrong! Poor little cowardly floater.

He should be banned from the game for life. Total scum bag!

Oh yeah, for such a 'hard man' he throws a punch at the smallest player in the Premiership. Why didn't he try to hit Carew, Laursen or Harewood I wonder?

Yeah but with Barton its taking the player, and maybe some of the ball.

I think alot of you guys are mixing up football and the street outside. What he has done he will be tried for, plenty of footballers have spent time in prison, all he has done is guarantee a transfer tothe home of drunkdrivers, armed robbers and assorted drugdealers and other scumbags... Birmingham City! However, I don't think a bit of a slap on the football field is worthy of all this abuse. I remeber when Gary Thompson earned his nickname "Bruno" in a simod cup game against Bradford. One of their players had been kicking Gary Shaw (in his last game in a Villa shirt) all over the park. Eventually Bruno chased a long ball into the corner with the Bradford player for company, as he drew level with Bruno, a big arm flashed and big hard defender man crumpled onto the floor, I don't think he was even booked for it! I have seen current prem league managers swing punches, and stamp on fallen players, I've seen England captains kick fallen opponents in the face and dare the FA to ban them. The supposed greatest premier league player didn't just kung fu kick fans he stamped on players, trod on their hands, tripped and kicked them. Wimbledon FC built a team that played like that successfully for years until we starved them to death. I'm not defending Barton, but please guys he isn't even the dirtiest player in the game now, let alone in recent history.

waldorf - catana was banned for months for the kung fu kick - that is what we're saying. He deserves to be punished. He also deserves to be in jail. Maybe both will happen.

If he was a Villan, I cant believe that the supporters would put up with his antics, let alone MON and his staff.
