I think you are right about that but he is doing what he always does when he gets in trouble and blame someone else

Enforced honesty meeesh... he hasn't got an honest bone in his body..
As stated above, we can more than assume he had information pertaining to 'big' player injuries, which would undoubtedly stack the odds in his favour!
I must admit mate,I'm purely an outsider when it comes to personal information about players etc etc,that is why I like to read what yourself and close others say at certain situations,but looking at that list of bets £2's and fivers,i mean hardly doing fortunes in,and also appears he was losing more than he won,a lot like me !!
But we all know his general background,he is what he is,but to be punished so severely for this when countless others have and probably are still doing it now,I think it's quite harsh.
I was only listening to Charlie Dimmock chatting with Boiled Bollock on Talkshite a few week back and he was talking about the betting aspect whilst he was playing,along with a few others in that particular team he was playing in,they were lumping big,but like I say,although they are in a far more privilidged position than most of us,he's been made a bit of a scapegoat here
He was betting on his own team although he claims not to have been part of the squad for the games he bet on. Bet on us to win against Fulham in April 2006 (which we lost of course) and quite a few bets on the Toon when he went there.
No that's not true, he's literally bet on himself to be first goalscorer, so he clearly was part of the squad or thought he was going to be.
I think he's claiming he wasn't in the squad for the games he bet on his team to lose.

Draft statement from D Gill:
"Manchester City, henceforward to be referred to only as FC Pariah, are held responsible for Barton's activities, and are immediately stripped of all honours in their history. Said honours are transferred to the record of the closest Premier League team (edit: secretary, make that senior team, as no other divisions actually count, DG)."

The scapegoating is because he was a member of the teams he bet on, regardless if he was suspended/injured.... as someone who' has flirted with betting addiction I have no sympathy, I'd also point towards that in his statement he states that this is his 'only account' has been 'verified' etc etc. Firstly, most 'addicts' have more than one and I would be amazed if he hasn't been pulled on it, secondly, the epos systems employed by bookies contain stored information that legally has to be kept for 75 years, I'd again say it's highly likely that betting patterns have been compared and contrasted, they'll know without concrete proof but enough to say 'fuck you'...
hahahaha 18 month ban hahahahahah good old joey barton making out its not his fault
he's been at it for years and years even man city some dodgy results when you scratch your head and rethink. the only thing is he finds away back into football some how and they talk of this good player over the years so its not a gamble to sign him. but can you name a club joey barton been at where the football talked and not the person
always remember that c*nt Willie McKay saying joey barton is bigger than manchester city and joey wanted a bigger better contract or he would not play and just think back then we was on our knees with nothing to piss in and joey wanted that little bit more the greedy get the chances we give to joey and then he comes out with that am bigger than the club what a loon

Yes you're right. He was in the team for that Fulham game.No that's not true, he's literally bet on himself to be first goalscorer, so he clearly was part of the squad or thought he was going to be.
I think he's claiming he wasn't in the squad for the games he bet on his team to lose.
My favourite part of this is how robust the FA's anti-gambling unit clearly is. He only managed to get away with having a betting account in his own name and place thousands of bets across about a decade before they managed to catch this master criminal. It's pretty reassuring that they are clearly going to catch anyone doing anything suspect

But the fact he has had an account since 2006 ? And it comes out 10 years later,mmmmmmmmmmmmm ok
