    Silly lad! Joey Barton has been charged with betting on 33 football matches by the SFA. He is already serving a three week ban from Rangers for an incident in training. For all his faults, he's not thick, so I can only assume he thought he'd get away with it.

    His Scotland adventure might be over. He's better off away from that lot.

    From the BBC article

    "In May, Partick Thistle midfielder Steven Lawless was given a six-match ban, with four of those suspended until the end of this season, after being accused of betting on 513 matches."

    Love his surname given the context of the article.

    He got caught on unusual betting patterns, had £20 on the Mackems to win.

    "Joey Barton was Rangers' marquee summer signing and arrived with the boast that he had come to Scotland to be the best player in the country."

    I knew he'd come out with some stupid **** like this, such an arrogant prick. Why do teams even bother with him? HE comes with such an immense amount of baggage that any small benefit he might bring on the pitch is massively outweighed by non-stop twattery elsewhere.

    **** him and his Twitter account....and no I'm not buying your autobiography Joey, I can read your Wikipedia page to know your violent lowlife from a family of criminals.

    As a pundit I actually don't mind him, and think he could he could be quite interesting to listen to on MOTD2, in the way that Danny Murphy is, as opposed to the Shearer/Lawro style bores.

    On the pitch though and in the news, I can't stand him.
