Barton only started to play for the team after he was booed off against Liverpool. After that he put in a decent shift and I reckon he played his best for us against the Gooners and Spuds. He'd stopped tweeting and stopped verbally abusing Adel and got on with his job, even rated as MOTM in some games.
What on earth went wrong yesterday?!
Who is the other player that was meant to have said "even things up" by getting a reaction after the red card?
There are types of footballer, types of manager and types of fans. Barton is a type of player that ruins any good work by his antics on and off the pitch. There are managers who will excuse these antics and try to justify their actions, there are supporters who will turn a blind eye.
I don't know how many chances Barton needs and, frankly, I don't care. He can be given another chance by another team, he's not welcome at Rangers.
I hope Sparky is the kind of manager that won't sweep the poor reputation under the carpet and stands up for what is right & that he gets the backing of the club if he wants shot of Barton.
I never wanted Barton at QPR and trying to give him the benefit of the doubt has back-fired. He obviously can't change his spots and I hope TF can find a clause in the club's charter that means Barton can be sacked for gross misconduct or bringing the club into disrepute. If we are meant to be that rich then pay him off, anything but let him play for us again because he WILL f*ck us over again if he's given another chance.
