Barton Jailed for 6 months
Joey Barton has been jailed for 6 months as a result of a bust-up outside a McDonald’s restaurant on December 27 2007.
He spent new year in custody over the same incident.
If anyone’s bet on him to win player of the year, now’s the time to go and trade out at Betfair because we won’t be seeing much more of him this season.
Sadly Joey doesn’t seem to be able to stay out of trouble at the moment and he really needs to learn to control himself if he hopes to continue his football career. It’s hard to see which other clubs would take a chance on him now. Hopefully he will learn his lesson and be able to calm his temper down in future.
Think it’s right he served prison time, he obviously has an anger problem; stubbing cigarettes out in team-mates (your team-mates.. the very people who are on your side.. it’s despicable isn’t it..) beating other team mates to a pulp and then attacking the general public.. provoked or unprovoked, that violence is unnecessary..
So where does Barton go from here? Can he be trusted in future to conduct himself as a gentleman and learn to walk away from negative vibes and for once be an upstanding young man and walk the other way, therefore admitting he has an anger problem.
So many young men throughout the world would love a chance to be a Newcastle footballer, wear the jersey, score for their team but haven’t been given the opportunity.. so this person, Barton has taken the place of somebody more deserving..
I think extra prison and an open letter of apology to team mates, management and fans for the gross embarrassment he’s caused would suffice.
Two years later and its Carroll that seems to be making the Newcastle United headlines for the wrong reasons. Looks like he has learnt from his mistakes.
