Read that he appearantly still pleads not-guilty for that one.. but it is going to court...

I think he should be imprisoned for a much longer time, and banned from all football fields!


Playing football at a professional level should be a privilege, not many people get to experience that, but this muppet is hell bent on throwing away his career.

How can he plead not guilty to the Dabo incident. There were witnesses to what he did.

Scumbag.

All we need now is a bit of rogering in the showers against his will and justice will be served.

It's just another step along fate's road that is leading him inevitably in a downward spiral until he ends up at Leeds United.

Or West Ham.

He is an utter savage. A human being only in terms of his species, but in every way that makes an individual a human being, he doesn't qualify.

Anyone who attempts to blind another person is the lowest form of life.

Someone could make a killing out of 'I buggered Joey Barton' and 'Joey Barton was my shower bitch' T-shirts.

Well-balanced and well-written? Aaaah, the apologist. Is there any lower form of life? Yes: Joey Barton

Obviously the article 'writer' seems to believe that punching someone 20 times and breaking their teeth is just a case of 'boys will be boys'. What a moron! What's next? Barton attemting to push a cigar into Jamie Tandy's eye was just because he couldn't find an ashtray? Getting into a fight in a Thai hotel with a teenage boy was just 'cause he was stiffed by his ladyboy?

Forgive me, but I have not seen much in the way of anything resembling control from Joey Barton. If it wasn't for his skill at football, I would bet good money he'd have been in and out a prison a number of times by now and his chickens are now coming home to roost.

Ashley just lurves p*ssing his fortune down the drain. Barton's on £60k per week for five years; Owen's contract apparently has huge add-on fees which is why Ashley is offering other clubs money to sign him; and his right-hand man, Mort, has finally had enough and walked away.

Looks like Joey could be banged up for some time. If I was Ashley, I'd be terminating that contract asap:

Joey Barton's future at Newcastle United appears likely to remain unresolved until early July. Although Kevin Keegan is understood to be anxious to stand by the midfielder, who received a six-month jail sentence for assault and affray yesterday, it is the outcome of a subsequent case that could well determine whether Newcastle decide to either keep faith with the player or terminate his contract.
Barton is due to stand trial in Manchester on June 30 on a separate charge, the alleged assault of his former Manchester City team-mate Ousmane Dabo a year ago, to which he pleads "not guilty", and much depends on the verdict.
Newcastle issued a statement last night which suggested that various options are being contemplated by Chris Mort, the club's chairman, and Mike Ashley, the owner. "Newcastle United notes the sentence passed to Joey Barton at Liverpool crown court," it read. "The club is considering the verdict and will be making no further comment at this moment."
Even so, Keegan, who appeared as a character witness in support of Barton yesterday, has spoken of the "unequivocal support" he intends to offer a player he first worked with when Manchester City's manager. Privately though Ashley and Mort may have cause to regret allowing Newcastle's former manager, Sam Allardyce, to sign Barton for £5.8m from City last summer on a five-year deal and a weekly salary understood to be £60,000.
As Barton will be unable to fulfil his contract with Newcastle this summer the club can terminate it on the grounds that the agreement has been "frustrated" but with the 25-year-old having recently been receiving treatment from the Sporting Chance Clinic and pledging to turn over a new leaf this course of action seems likely, for the moment at least, to be resisted.
Gordon Taylor, the PFA chief executive, said: "Whether he has a future at Newcastle will be a decision for the club. He's come from a difficult background and had a history of troubles. We've tried to help and will continue to try to help. But no footballer is above the law of the land."
