Joey Barton

[Alan Harper's Tash]

I think you need to read my post more carefully before embarking on your little woke tirade. We don’t need insight, we just need a quick chat about the major talking points from characters who we recognise.

Your blanket dismissal of an entire team as well as a hugely respected luminary such as Souness tells me all I need to know about you.

Bartons comments seem to go down well with the no girlfriend, anti-woke crowd who say they don't like him but agree with his points.

Having had time to reflect on his Tweets from yesterday and carefully considering whether he may have gone too far. He’s come back at 6 O clock this morning , with:

Is that an actual tweet from him?

If so he'll be getting a legal letter from ITV and Schofield.

I guess he can then go down the 'I've been cancelled' route.

No. No I don’t. You literally said that a pundits job is for a quick chat and not great insight into the game itself, when by description, their job is to offer tactical insight.

Yes, it tells you that I’m not a precious, little soft touch who is offended by anyone who isn’t white, male or an ex-male professional Premier League player talking about football on the tele.

You agreeing with Barton should tell everyone else enough about you.

Roy Keane, Jamie Carragher, Michael Owen, Robbie Savage are all well past their best and dreadful pundits.

Past their best??? Their best was utter dog shit, they all transcend dog shit now… I don’t listen or watch a single one of em these days, my experience of watching football on tv is so much better for it..!

He's talking about Schofield.

He's gone off the deep-end.

You’re talking about Tom Daley arnt you??

Seems like Britain has got another Andrew Tate.

There have been black pundits on TV for a very long time now, sounds like people seem to have a big problem with white men.

Everyone agrees Barton is a **** but it doesn't mean that people are justified in spitting venom at every other white male, that's stupid isn't it?

Some say colour as well as sex is a tick box , some are combined so not them leaves white males does it not ?

Or best person for the job regardless

There's a good interview with David Gower in The Telegraph.
He basically says he was "pushed aside, to make room for modernity", when his Sky contract wasn't renewed.
That's why we have so much "box ticking". Media companies are scared that certain demographics aren't being seen/heard.

One quote is "TV now has several cricket commentators who are crap"
