For those of a delicate nature, I'd suggest that you don't Google John Terry's Mum at any point in the near future. In an unrelated matter, I'd also like to remind everyone that you can't post any porn on here. Just sayin'.
I'm hesitant to take a dump on a seat that I and all of my family and friends technically own. Don't **** on your own doorstep, they say.
Barton has been involved in the following - and I'm not even going to mention the countless bad tackles on the pitch as I don't want to be here until midnight: - put out a lit cigarette in a youth player's eye at City in 2004 - broke a pedestrian's leg whilst driving through Liverpool city centre in 2005 - sent home from a pre-season tournament in Thailand for assaulting a 15 year old Everton fan in 2005. He had to be restrained from further assaulting him by teammate Richard Dunne - exposes his backside to Everton fans on camera in 2006. Fined £2,000 for bringing the game into disrepute - arrested for alleged assault on a taxi driver and criminal damage in Liverpool in 2007 - public criticises his team and manager Stuart Pearce and is banned from speaking to the media in 2007 - assaulted teammate Ousmane Dabo in training and is fined £100,000 in 2007. Dabo was left unconscious and had a suspected detached retina. Barton was subsequently prosecuted and received a four month suspended prison sentence - Barton punches a man 20 times until he is unconscious in Liverpool city centre as well as attacking a teenager and breaking his teeth in December 2007. Sentenced to six months in jail - suspended by Newcastle for calling Alan Shearer "a **** manager" and assistant Iain Dowie "a prick" in 2009 - punches Morten Gamst Pedersen in the chest and is charged with violent conduct in 2010 - directs homophobic remarks and gestures towards Fernando Torres in 2010 - sent off for elbowing Carlos Tevez in the face in 2012. As he leaves the pitch, he kicked Sergio Aguero to the back of the knee and attempted to headbutt Vincent Kompany. He had to be dragged from the pitch by former teammate Micah Richards and tries to square up to Mario Balotelli. He was banned for 12 matches. - calls Thiago Silva an overweight ladyboy on Twitter in 2013 and is banned by French F.A for two matches - receives his 9th career red card for swinging a kick at Tom Huddlestone's groin in 2015 - suspended by Rangers for a raining ground altercation with a teammate in 2016 - banned for 18 months for betting offences Barton's always sorry after the event, but still tries to justify himself with some excuse or mitigation. Rather than thinking he's been harshly treated, he should be more than grateful that he was still part of the game so he could be banned from it! 18 years wouldn't be a long enough ban, never mind 18 months. Barton is and always has been a nasty thug. There are many, many jobs he would not have been allowed to continue to earn a living in after the first misdemeanour. But football isn't one of them sadly. Now he thinks he is above football's betting laws, which are aimed at trying to keep some integrity in the game intact. In other sports, his offences would have attracted longer bans. His self pity is pointless; he hasn't got what he deserved - I agree with him on that- but only because the F.A have been far too lenient with him. If it does force him to retire - good riddance Joey Barton
If you can't accept that you're wrong, then you won't learn and you'll continue to make the same mistakes.
A bit of a strong response to ldl thinking it was a cigarette he stubbed out in a youth teamer's eye rather than the cigar he actually used...
Not sure why this injustice was included in the list. Dems the facts ma'am... Jesting aside, he paid for those crimes. We don't hold these things against people forever in our society I love going to the bookies. Bit of social. Bit of a laugh. Bit of an atmosphere. I'm a lucky one - I never have the urge to spend more than the change in my pocket. So many people have real gambling problems. Gambling can be a nasty business
As for the scale of my football betting, since 2004, on a Betfair account held in my own name, registered at my home address and verified by my own passport, with full transparency, I have placed over 15,000 bets across a whole range of sports. Just over 1,200 were placed on football and subject to the charges against me. The average bet was just over £150, many were for only a few pounds. I know that the average he is talking about might be for the 1200 football bets but if it is for the 15,000, and there is no reason to think that would not be his overall average-that means he has placed £2,250,000 on bets (2 and a quarter million pounds). And he is complaining that his career is finished. He should consider himself lucky that he has been playing all these years and only now got this ban. What difference that it is early retirement. It makes no difference if you are banned at 24 or 34. Except if he would have been banned at 24, maybe he would have found it harder to find a club.
Manchester United target Gianluigi Donnarumma is struggling to agree a new contract with AC Milan - the 18-year-old goalkeeper has just over a year left on his current deal. (Gazzetta dello Sport, via Metro) Another one of Mino Raiola's clients to add to their ever-growing collection then?
Joey Barton has done a Pete Rose..............you just musn't bet on your own sport,especially your own games!

Looks like the chavs might be involved in this tax fraud as well but you can bet your bottom dollar that if they are given a points deduction it will be for next season not this one.
Paddy Power were taking the piss out of the obvious number of empty seats, but they weren't far off. Actual official attendance: 59,829. Less than a thousand missing? **** off!
The Goons method should IMHO be illegal, purely for elf n safety / emergency reasons. Tis trivial to do turnstile + ticket scan counts etc to determine how many people are physically inside the Library.
I'm sure that they do both, exactly for the reasons that you mention. They have an official attendance that's actually ticket sales and a true attendance that they don't release.
