Norbert Colon 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 If it had been Nolan or Smith i wouldn't have been that bothered but considering the lad had been out for god knows how long he looked quick and inventive - managed to do more in the first 20 minutes than nolan has done in five games - he's a liability tho and whilst any other player might have got away with it the ref was fuckin itchin to send him off and ultimately he gave him the perfect excuse-no excuse for the ref to look so pleased with himself tho - and alonso wants to hang his head an all - he milked it - and those setanta commentators - jesus wept - i could name particular instances where it was arse clenchingly cliched and at times downright disrespectful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Onion 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 He's an arsehole, you're always risking a red putting tackles in like that. He's put himself out for the sake of a bit of petty score-settling with Alonso, and given his track record and our predicament it's totally unforgivable.

Don't get me wrong I totally agree and wish he could see the bigger picture of the winnable games coming up and maybe counting to ten before committing himself to a tackle like that - alas poor joseph seems unable to get past the count of three Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The best you can say about him is he's as thick as mince. He's effectively banned himself when we need him most and for what? Not the sort of player we'd want to keep, championship or no. Sell him to Blackburn I say ! I think he's hot-headed rather than thick. Not that that makes it any better.

David Kelly 1117 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Looked like a red card to me. Two footed lunge which seemed to go over the ball and to the man. Barton is a cunt. The one chance we had for something from midfield and the fucking idot does that. I expected to get beat yesterday and feared a worse result goal difference wise but losing our one half decent midfielder for the rest of the season was a massive blow.

snakehips 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Better he was sent off during the game nobody expected anything from, than during a game we could conceivably get something. If he had been sent off during one of the last three games the damage would have been incalculable. Stupid twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I do agree with people that other players may have got a yellow, and certainly Gerrard would have got that at most, but it was stupid enough and reckless enough that i've no issue with a red. What annoys me most is that as Norbert said, in the time he was on the pitch he did more than Nolan has managed since we signed him, in those final 3 games Barton would have made a big impact, but because he's such a fucking tit we'll be without him once again. Since there's no Barton anymore i hope Guthrie gets a game, at least unlike the rest of our midfielders you do get the feeling he can actually play football from time to time and he can take corners!

shear class! 0 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think it was a little harsh TBF... There was no comparrison to Nolans challange on Anichebe IMO. He only went off because he's Barton the cunt. His reputation will always proceed him I'm affraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Really pissed off at him, but would it not have made sense to appeal the decision. Would that not make him available for the next game? Not sure how it works exactly but I'd guess there's some process whereby spurious appeals against red cards are dismissed out of hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo 133 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The Sun: ALAN SHEARER had a massive dressing-room bust-up with Joey Barton after Newcastle’s 3-0 defeat at Liverpool. Shearer was steaming at the bad-boy midfielder for getting sent off for an ugly late lunge at Reds rival Xabi Alonso. But as the Toon boss tore into the £5.8m player, telling him he had let himself and the club down, Barton replied: “You’re a shit manager with shit tactics.” The pair went head to head and had to be pulled apart just as they were about to come to blows. A Newcastle insider said: “It was unbelievable. They were like two stags. “Shearer told Barton he had made a mistake putting him back in the team, that he thought Barton was good enough to do it but he had shown he wasn’t. “Joey shouted at Alan that he was the best player at the club, which was why he had to play him. “Alan said he wasn’t, called him shit and Joey replied that he was a shit manager with shit tactics. “At that point, it looked like they were going to have a full-scale brawl and had to be dragged apart. “Shearer was really angry, not just because of the stupid red card but because it means Barton will be missing for the last three Premier League games when Newcastle need everyone available. “Alan gave Joey the big build-up during the week, saying what an important player he could be in Newcastle’s fight against relegation, and then he does that. “You wonder what goes on in Joey’s head.” Shearer has vowed to fine Barton two weeks’ wages of around £120,000 and has washed his hands of the midfield hot-head. After the game Shearer said: “Barton wasn’t unlucky to be sent off, it was the right decision. “We will be without him for the rest of the season and I’m not happy at all. “He has let me down, definitely, and the same goes for the whole club and himself. From a disciplinary point of view, I will do whatever I can.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12460 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 that's the end of Barton at us if that's true then, we are a fucking joke tbh. Barton has totally shot himself in the foot though where's he go after us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ally 0 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 If we go down without winning another game then it would be criminal to blame Shearer. Similarly as it is criminal to blame someone like Hughton, another guy handed the baton and expected to perform miracles without dogshit. Barton is a wanker, shame Shearer didn't deck him.

Craig 6307 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I was sat in the Main Stand just above where our fans were and it was absolutely clear cut even from where I was that he should have been sent off. What the TV didn't show was how far and with what determination he ran towards Alonso. He'd been having a spat with him all game - was pretty obvious to me that something like this was going to happen. Sad thing was, up until that point he was probably our best player.
