Joey Barton

8:2 men to women apparently.

A man's game?

Is football a sport for men only? Football is becoming more and more popular with all sorts of people, but who are they?

Thought obviously that may have changed from that report.

Yeah was gonna say, that report is about 15 years old.

Haha, found the exact same study as you from 2021:

The vlog that City posted on their own social media channels? I would have thought so, unless the club docked her pay because Joey Barton didn't like it.

Then she needs to get the basics right or she’s leaving herself open to people ridiculing her knowledge. If she’s serious about this being a career at any rate.

I thought she was just someone with a small following on YouTube or whatever, in which case it’s more understandable. If she’s being paid for the content as a professional by the club then she should really do better.

That’s not a gender issue, that’s a professionalism issue.

Yeah you weren’t too far off tbf and you make a good point. Better than any other I’ve seen so far pushing for female pundits.

The only caveat I’ll mention on that is that my wife can’t stand female pundits though one person’s views can’t be used as evidence if anything but I’ve never spoken to any other women (who watch football) about this subject.

For sure, but I'm not sure why that's relevant here. We're talking about Joey Barton being a twat for digging that clip up to ridicule her to millions of twitter followers and try and make some point about why women shouldn't be doing a job which isn't even the job she does anyway. You can't move on the internet for men posting their clueless takes on football but he's decided to pile onto her because she happens to be woman posting a clueless take about football. I don't think she deserves to be collateral damage in his pathetic attempt to woo the tedious flag shaggers who are probably the only remaining audience who'll have him.

So the issue is that it’s Barton doing so to push a gender issue? Fair enough, I can’t move on social media for people also ripping the piss out of a thousand “fan pundits” and their terrible takes, but I guess it’s the people being labelled clueless rather than the fact that they’re clueless because of their gender.

I agree that she should be getting the basics right if she is going to talk about the match itself; let's have it right she's working for arguably the best club in the world right now, and content is going across the world.

However, everyone makes mistakes and anyone talking live doesn't have the benefit of re-editing the clip before it goes out. Remember when Chris Kamara was literally at that Portsmouth game for Soccer Saturday, and didn't even realise someone had been sent off? Everyone just laughed, and even now, I've never seen anyone actually pull him up for lack of concentration/idiocy! At the end of the day, it's just 'Kammy'.

Back on topic though, Barton is a rat, and even more so for trying to solidify his 'point' by using a clip of a young lady who has literally no power of reply to defend herself.

The other month, everyone dug out Eni Aluko for her comments on the transfer window. She actually has power of reply through her fairly large social media following.
