I know someone who was there at the time and that kicked off when he referred to Marcus Bent and Andy Cole, who the respective clubs had just bought, as "a pair of useless ni***rs".It's missing the fight with the Everton fan in the hotel in Bangkok during preseason, 2005 I believe.
Remember reading the report on that murder. Detail chilled me to the bone.chased the lad through a park with a machete or similarI know someone who was there at the time and that kicked off when he referred to Marcus Bent and Andy Cole, who the respective clubs had just bought, as "a pair of useless ni***rs".
And a few days after that, when he'd been sent home, his equally lovely half-brother murdered a black kid. I've always wondered whether there was some connection (other than them both being horrible racists) between those two incidents not far apart.
Tandy was a rag and Dabo started on Barton and got a doing, so I can forgive him those twoHow this motherfucker lasted 5 years at city really does sum up how much of a basketcase club we were in the mid 2000's.
1. Cigar stub in teammate’s eye: In December 2004, Barton was at a Christmas party with his Manchester City teammates when he got angry at youth player Jamie Tandy for trying to set his shirt on fire. Barton retaliated by stubbing a lit cigar in Tandy’s eye, causing a burn injury. Barton was fined by the club and later sued by Tandy for damages. It’s worth noting that Joey Barton was dressed as the disgraced pervert Jimmy Saville at the time.
2. Mass brawl in pre-season friendly: In July 2004, Barton sparked a mass brawl during a pre-season friendly against Doncaster Rovers. Barton fouled Doncaster player Paul Green with a reckless tackle, which led to a 10-man melee between both teams. He was then on the receiving end of a hard tackle himself, and more fights broke out on the pitch. Barton was criticised by his manager Kevin Keegan for his overly physical approach.
3. Assaulting Ousmane Dabo: In May 2007, Barton assaulted his Manchester City teammate Ousmane Dabo during a training session. Barton punched Dabo several times, leaving him with a detached retina, a broken nose and severe bruising. Barton pleaded guilty to assault and was sentenced to a four-month suspended jail term and 200 hours of community service. He was also banned for six matches by the FA and sacked by Manchester City.
4. Jail sentence for street fight: In December 2007, Barton was involved in a street fight in Liverpool city centre after a night out. Barton punched one man 20 times and attacked another teenager, breaking his teeth. Barton was arrested and charged with assault and affray. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to six months in prison, of which he served 74 days.
And this was just when he was at City, theres been a whole mountain of shit thats happened since then. Horrible horrible individual.
I was the silly twat sat in the Spurs bit (near the directors box) who walked out at half time when he got sent off. Was first up on 606 when we wonYes he was, what a fucking game that was
Unseen by the officials, Tevez was the first to start the rumpus with Barton.Still think he got sent off on purpose v QPR. Just though the add a bit of motherfuckery for extra Bartonness.
Correct, we got away with that one.Unseen by the officials, Tevez was the first to start the rumpus with Barton.
And some blues refer to him fondly because he did a job for us. Worlds a fucked up.place.
